I never got into KI when I was a kid---I knew it _looked_ cool, but I never really understood it or figured it out. I'm glad there's tutorials like this one if I ever change my mind! TBH, I started watching because I was thinking "Now, did Saberwulf have a projectile?"
Your videos are making my KI arcade1up experience so much better. I've done ultra combos on Orchard and Sabrewulf today, you hard work on these videos is super appreciated!
Sabrewulf is a total beast and he makes for a really good entry level character to get into Killer Instinct in my opinion. Also on top of that he can be very lethal to go up against if someone like yourself is using him. Great tutorial!!!!!
Thank you so much! All the tutorials just say the ultra is back forward quick kick but its obviously not. Thank you for showing the other two moves that constitute the ultra combo
I think this content is great for new and old players like myself getting back into killer instinct and mame content thank you keep doing more characters please
Most people consider this a shit fighting game like Primal Rage because they never take the time to learn the basic combo system but if you take a few minutes learning how the combo system works on any character you realize it opens up a Pandora's Box level of comboing that keeps getting more complex for higher hit combos. If anyone was to put a little time in they would find out that Killer Instinct is one of the best if not the best fighting game of all time. From a visual, audio, and gameplay stand point nothing really beats it and I've played everything. With this game in the 1994 arcade I was like Wayne and Garth bowing down saying "We're not worthy!"
I in fact DO argue Killer Instinct is the best fighting game. In brief: The attacking/defending strategy, combo and combo/breakers, etc. Every time I lose it is always MY fault which is exactly how it should be. Other games allow for projectile spamming and unbreakable "combos" that simply remove all entertainment value.
Ugh, if anyone compared this to Primal Rage I'd be pissed haha. Its such a fun fighting game and has an insane style. This is a game that doesn't really look or sound its age, its very 90's but graphically its impressive still. The sparks when two projectiles hit each other looks so good still.
@@KillerArcadeGames Yeah I don't know how they pulled all that off in just ten months. Wish they could get the original development crew together for a proper 2D part 3 or at least an HD remake with added content like a few more stages and pits.
i was just starting to learn how to play ki for the arcade. the only one i play so far as the snes version cant wait to see other chars tutorial as well
Fantastic tutorial for people who want to really get into the game. I’ve been playing the game since day one as well as the very good snes port and underrated gb port and the two characters I just couldn’t figure out how to get good in were Thunder and Spinal. Orchid, Sabrewulf, Combo and cinder are probably the easiest to play with in my opinion, fulgore, glacius and riptor takes some time to get used to and jago has the hardest inputs for his special moves but his combos are pretty easy to get out once you figure him out. Spinal and thunder though I just struggle to really get going with them for some reason.
These are tough for me to make but if I do more, I'll do one of those characters. I know GlaciusXL on RUclips has tutorials for those characters out now though. He's good at explaining the moves.
@@KillerArcadeGames thank you for answer me it s nice, i saw glaciusXL' s channel but im not really good for understand english, he speack too much and i can t understand everything and you you put commands on screen i prefer your videos😄. I ll try too watch glaciusXL again, thank man.
awesome vid buddy. I use sabrewulf and orchid the most. The only sabrewulf move i have yet to learn is the extra hits at the end when the opponent is in the air. The spin and bites at the end. How do you do that, or did i miss it in the vid?
I didn't include that since it was pretty advanced. I hold forward while the ultra is running, once they're in the air I walk forward for half a second, then press back and MP which makes him do the spin when I do back forward QK to catch them on their way down.
You missed that you can combo off the double uppercut. Do a howl, and as you're going in for the first uppercut, hold forward. As the first uppercut lands, press B+MK to do a second uppercut and use FP or any other combo linker to get the combo going. This doesn't use your flashing life bar thing. If you finish off the combo as usual (like with B,F+MK) he'll do a shadow combo; and if you hit the opponent on the way down with B,F+FK the shadow combo continues and it will do several more hits. Way back in the day, when this game first came out in arcades, I loved Saberwulf and did very well at the arcades with him.
Back in the day, we gave all the buttons numbers. It was much easier to learn how to do combos. Top buttons from left to right 1,2,3 and bottom buttons from left to right 4,5,6. 😉
I got an Arcade1up KI cab on sale recently and I’ve been dreaming of owning a KI cab since I was a kid who used to play this in the arcades. I have to tell you. Your videos have not only made my Cabinet experience better than it was already going to be, but I’ve learned so much and I was hitting ultra combos with Sabrewulf DAY 1 because of you 🙌🏻 thank you for your videos sir. One question though, I’ve noticed while I practice, player two does not have the option to have the default attire color for all the characters. I.E- Glacious can be blue if I’m player one but if I’m player two I can only be green, purple, orange and other versions of glacious…can i fix this? If someone plays with me I want them to have the ability to choose whatever they want and not be limited. Thanks again, you rule dude!!! 🔥
I used MAME cheats. I've been planning to make a tutorial on how to install MAME cheats. If you need help quicker, just email me KillerArcadeGamesYT@gmail.com
I’ve had a lot of people ask about him. He’s not too difficult but I’m incredibly busy building my home arcade. It should be done soon and I can start making normal videos again. Check back in a few months and I may have one out.
The shadow ultra happens after getting a combo breaker. You can also do shadow moves after getting a combo breaker, you just need to know the move. Search killer instinct shadow moves and you should find something on it. I may make a video about it.
Hey brother gow can I get a hold of you to talk to you about some Killer Instinct moves I think they might be glitches I never seen them I play this guy on line he is my friend on xbox he uppercut me and then while I'm in the air he still gits me its nuts I never seen that before do you know how to do that and if so can you do a tutorial please 🙏
Hey bro your holding out.I played you online yesterday and you hit me with a jump kick charge move.Ive seen it on other characters but never on Saberwulf!!It was the charge B,F HK
Haha it’s cool people I played with are finding the channel! I assume I did a two hit air combo. Jump at an opponent in the air and kick them then pull back on the stick and press MK.
I notice some screen tearing in your vid, do you usually play with Vsync on or off ? and why ? i'm just curious. I use the same Mame version as you do and i use Vsync on but i'm guessing if you turn it off is it to gain an advantage in the input lag area ? let me know cheers !
I have it turned on. I don't see any tearing on my screen but I'm using a GPU with multiple outputs, the one that goes to my El Gato shows tearing...which is odd but its that way on all the cabinets.
It’s the ground level under Spinal’s rooftop stage. It only appears in two player games. There’s also two other stages that can’t be accessed without enter a code while selecting characters.
I have been trying to use saberwulf and I literally can not even do a legit combo. Wtf. Charging holding back in the middle of trying to do a combo is freaking difficult. Seems like it barley works
@@KillerArcadeGames I have one of these 1up cabinets coming tomorrow so I'll give him another shot. I was also considering the Big Blue Street Fighter 2 cabinet. Have any experience with that one?
@@KillerArcadeGames Got my cabinet and it doesn't power up... Not sure what the deal is... Everything is hooked up right. Hoping it's just a bad ac adapter...
Hold QK after howl, then do B/F release QK for a double roll, but at same time, hold/release FP while doing B/F so you get a double fierce spin too

Thanks Dave! I agree, he's got a lot of powerful moves and the stun is great if you're new and need an opening.
Thank you so much! All the tutorials just say the ultra is back forward quick kick but its obviously not. Thank you for showing the other two moves that constitute the ultra combo
Thank you for this! GREAT Video!
Just built my bartop arcade and have been trying to get back up to speed on KI
I'm glad it was helpful! Enjoy the bartop! I looked at making one of those for years but I wasn't very handy haha.
So much fun! keep covering all the characters!
YES! Thank you! Almost done with my KI cabinet. Can't wait to show ya.
Nice!
Solid tutorial man, appreciate these videos!
Thank you!
Excellent job man I know this took a lot of work. Appreciate it!
Thank you for the tutorials I got my ultra combos down with my favorite fighter saberwolf
I think this content is great for new and old players like myself getting back into killer instinct and mame content thank you keep doing more characters please
Thanks, I'm glad to hear you're getting back into it.
Thanks for refreshing my memory on my favorite K I character. 👍🍻
Any chance we'll ever get a TJ combo guide?
Yes! Soon.

Thanks Steve! I'm horrible with Spinal. I can get some combos done with Thunder but I'm not great with him.
Great tutorial! I always find it difficult to do double claw for the stun
Gonna try this for sure!
Its a great move, timing it can be tough but if you do it enough you'll get it down.
For some reason it helps me to press back and mp to get the second claw. Probably just helps my timing.
Awesome!!! A great breakdown.
Thanks Brenden!
Hello man thank for your tutorials for KI, will you post another videos for jago, thunder and fulgor please?❤

I need to do a whole video on this apparently, a lot of people ask about them.
@@KillerArcadeGames WELL GET TO WORK!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah man!! That'll be awesome!!
I miss the game so bad. I learned on a emulator back in the 90s best was 99 hits. And you can cancel ultras and continue the combo for more hits.
Amazing
Thanks!
Why doesn’t my KI1 graphics look as crispy as yours on my mame?

Nice
Thanks
