Can’t see how killer instinct would be considered shameless it’s one of the best fighting games for its era. Also the fighting game genre always got inspiration from other fighting games, competitive fighting games wouldn’t exist without sf2 world warrior and a game like sf1 would not exist without games like karate champ, urban champion, way of the exploding fist and Yie at kung fu basically making the fighting game genre a thing.
Well said! Killer Instinct is a badass fighting game series that needs more love! Primal Rage may be tough to play, but he'll, ain't that a part of the charm to a fighting game?
@@jsmith3946 nah! he has a point. yall shouldn't compare this game to all these other games, since this game is actually good, and it's trying to do it's own thing. like the introduction to the combo system, and having a secondary health bar instead of going from round to round. at least they're not using real life people as sprites, all they're using is pre rendered cgi sprites, which is what they used in donkey kong country. and just because it has blood, doesn't mean it's trying to be a rip off of mortal kombat.
@@scm64entertainment44 everything that has blood trying copy MK I guess smh MK copied KILLER INSTINCT because of the combo system in MK3 that's when it pop up
Personally, I think both Primal Rage & Killer Instinct need to make a comeback. Primal Rage, because of it's original premise. And Killer Instinct, because with Street Fighter going into RPG, there is no reason why KI can't be a contender for Mortal Kombat. I would love to see those guys get a 4K treatment! Who's with me?
Considering a Primal Rage Reboot Ed Boon has stated in a interview that a Primal Rage Reboot isn't out of the question and he would love for him and the team at NRS to make one however the call to make a Primal Rage Reboot falls upon the higher-ups at WB Games.
@@derrickhaggard Which probably means never since WB Games restricts NRS to Mortal Kombat and Injustice (although it may be a good thing, because a modern day remake would probably end up getting rid of Chaos because of the controversy he caused with that one mom who was the earliest example of a Karen).
Killer Instinct was sensationally awesome. Had a great time with it at the arcades and on my preordered Toys-R-Us $77 (before taxes) SNES cartridge with my free t-shirt.
Killer Instinct is hardly a "shameless rip-off". While there are some similarities, the pre -rendered graphics, rounds, and especially the combo system set it apart. It's incredibly complex, and not in an overly technical way. Once you learn the combo system, it's unlike any other fighting game. I'm glad we've reached the point to where I can play the arcade version on my phone. I love it playing it that much.
You guys forgot about Pit Fighter! It was the first fighting game that allowed the people in the background scene to cause harm to the players as well! It was like the arcade version of the movie Blood Sport!
WWF Wrestlemania The Arcade Game (1995) I'm a Decades long Wrestling fan and I did enjoy the game heck the game was made by Midway the owner of the Mortal Kombat IP at the time
Calling Killer Instinct a MK shameless knockoff, let alone the TOP shameless knockoff is insulting. The original and the series have more than enough going for it to separate it from MK
It would be great if Naughty Dog remade Way of the Warrior with their knowledge today. Killer Instinct is loved by many and is one of the originators of the combo systems you see today. If Primal Rage was redone like MK it could be amazing. Personally I loved Clayfighter 64 and it’s successor.
Killer Instinct is awesome, it's not a shameless knockoff. I have it in my steam library and I also play Clay Fighter a long time ago I thought it was a fun game
All except for Killer Instinct. Clay Fighter does not belong on this list as it is more of a shameless Street Fighter knock-off (I mean, if they wanted to add a Clay Fighter game, they should have added Clayfighter 63 1/3, the closest the series got to ripping off MK). And Mojo loses major points on this list for the sole crime of not including Eternal Champions. Especially the Sega CD port, which tried to outdo MK when it comes to the level of gore.
Tattooed assassins is awesome! I love the nudalities and the fatalities like a Delorean running your opponent over and doing a burnout on their body. Pretty much the best fighting game ever.
HOW DARE YOU PUT KILLER INSTINCT, CLAY FIGHTER, PRIMAL RAGE IN THIS LIST? THEY ARE AWESOME FIGHTING GAMES. Instead you could have put Battle Monsters, Survival Arts, Blood Warriors, Shadow War of Succession, Jackie Chan Fists of Fury into the list.
Killer Instinct and Mk don't have nothing in common. If anything, MK3 ripped off KI because it wasn't nearly fast paced until then and KI was out before 3
I can honestly say Killer Instinct is definitely not a shameless knockoff. Killer Instinct was in a class of its own and still an enjoyable fighting game
KI and Primal Rage are actually some great clones of MK, they aren't detailed poorly or have sprites that are crusty, and they have an actually good storyline with nice characters.
I still play killer instinct on occasion. Love it actually. I grew up when those other fighters were coming out but never got a chance to play them. Kinda glad I didn’t. Woulda been throwing away my money. Great video btw
Killer instinct had combos AND combo breakers. And combo ultimates. MK can’t compare. Hell they add people that aren’t even MK canon just to keep sales going.
I was at a friend's birthday party when someone brought their emulator and they were playing Street Fighter The Movie and all of us were hyped and laughing our butts off on how ridiculous it is XD
I remember seeing a print ad for Way of the Warrior. To this day, I've never found a way to play it. The music was rad. Xenophage reminds me of Fighting Masters I played on Sega. I LOVE the Street Fighter movie game. I'm ok with this clone and it being one of the worst launched games. I love having Ming Na and Kylie Minogue at my fingertips to kick ass. I bet Cat Fight could have been good if it wasn't so slow. Wow, it looks janky. Clayfighter....takes me back to when I rented the n64. Earthworm Jim as a guest character! Kasumi Ninja....a redheaded man fighting in a kilt. Heck yeah. 😂 Primal Rage 2 needs to eventually needs to be made. I love me some Killer Instinct, especially KI2. I can't believe War Gods isn't on this list!! ❤❤❤
None of these game series should EVER be called a rip off...PERIOD: Killer Instinct, Street Fighter, Tekken, Mortal Kombat, King of Fighters, Fatal Fury, Virtua Fighter, Darkstalkers, Dead or Alive, Clay Fighter, Primal Rage...none of these games deserved bad smack talk...the only one i MIGHT smack talk is Primal Rage. The rest were true legacies of fighting games.

Saying Clay Fighter and Primal Rage were shameless MK knockoffs is like saying Darkstalkers ripped off Street Fighter.

It quite literally did in the sense that it most likely wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for sf

The Killer Instinct reboot being 10 years old is wild.
You compared KILLER INSTINCT 😮.
Hurtful.
Missed Weapon Lords and Eternal Champions
But hold on…where is SHAQ FU
Where was
ETERNAL CHAMPIONS
Killer Instinct is a classic and I can’t wait till they add it to the Nintendo Switch for the SNES and N64.
You also for War Gods that should have definitely been on this list and Time Killers.
Clayfighter was one of the best SF clones back in the 90s. It even got 2 sequels.
I hope they make a new Clayfighters
Shaq Fu and Eternal Champions should have made the list.
This Primal Rage slander is heartbreaking
The fact that everybody basically says y’all got us f’d up on killer instinct is a shameless clone smh
I love Talon from Primal Rage, when he wins he does a little dance and sounds like he's saying 'Right on!' Over and over. :)
Forgot to mention "Bikini Karate Babes" (2003) + the second (2011) and third (2020, only Android smartphone) part came out
Killer Instinct? Really? You gotta be kidding
I think I've seen a few of these games before but never really played any of them. Nice video.
Primal Rage was awesome
Can't Wait for Maximilian Dood to react to this...
He would trip out once he hears killer instinct and primal rage on the list
Killer Instinct stands on its own as a great fighting franchise and I never drew comparisons between Clayfighter and MK.
AIN'T NO WAY YOU JUST DISRESPCTED CLAYFIGHTER AND KILLER INSTINCT
I actually liked Primal Rage though. I love Killer Instinct too. Never played the new version because I believe it was only on Xbox.

Please do Doom clone next 🙏
Primal rage and killer instinct was 🔥
Clayfighter is not shameless.....wtf? Same with Killer Instinct....whoever did this list is shameless. for poor taste

its more of a true MK challenger than a cheap copy
Oh no not Barney smh 😂😂

Bro primal rage and killer instinct are great games and not knock offs bro they’re sick as f in there own right
Hardcore MK fan here but Killer Instinct is definitely NOT a knockoff let alone shameless. As a matter of fact it's one of the best FGs ever made IMO.
Four games I'm surprised that did not make the list. Cardinal syn, blood and iron, eternal champions and mace on the old 64

Actually yes but okay

Clayfighter was good
Rise of the Robots 😬😬😬
Should include:
The Kung Fu Master Jackie Chan
I still find it amazing that Atari didnt secure a deal for arcade perfect MK 1 and 2 for the Jag.
Ah yes, the classic Appahgeeh games.
NGL, I had fun with Clayfighter series and was sad when the Wii version got canceled.
