Anyone else want Max to rate the supers of games he wouldn’t normally play, just to see him have to play? Obviously this would just be for a one off thing like the central fiction videos but it’d still be fun. Me personally I’d like to see a rate the super on arcana heart 3 since there’s like 70 supers that could work and I can see Max having some funny commentary with the game.
Jago's Endokyuken finisher was broken through. Especially in stages with auto-zoom, he could literally just chuck them out in succession and if your character didn't have a teleport there was no way to avoid it.
The Finishers/Ultimates in KI2 might not be the best Fatality type moves out there, but I always loved the special effects as a kid, and I think they still look pretty cool now. The glowy beam from Jago burning you to a crisp, cat-form Orchid running through you setting you ablaze, Fulgore’s laser turning you to slowmo goo. Conceptually pretty mid, but VFX wise, especially for its time, it really just hits the ”feels good” spot in my brain.
I think Tusk have the best ones, first a snake that bites you half and pullls u up. Then a shower of meteors and then a comet to squish you is hardcore AF. i think Then the other one is Maya, she summons an elephant to squish you and sit on you.. daamn. Amazing too.
I really don't understand why Killer Instinct haven't been a long running game franchise the games were hits and up there with Street Fighter & Mortal Kombat sad the franchise didn't become popular as those two games cause they stop making KI games.
KI Gold sold like garbage because it was on a console that no one cared for, especially if you were into fighting games (PS1 had everything). Xbox lost the devs of KI 2013 to Amazon. No western devs left anymore for fighting games outside NetherRealm
the bad part about these is that you had to block them and they could be spammed endlessly, you could jump from full screen and land on TJ's bullets, and if you blocked it it pretty much pushed you back full screen, you could also take one step forward and be instant blasted by fulgore's pulp laser.
After seeing the supers for both classic KIs I have to wonder, why do most of these characters pull out some new power or ability or in some cases just a literal gun for their ultimate move when the rest of their normal moveset does not mesh with it at all? TJ Combo: punchiest of punchy mans, punch so strong he creates mini tornadoes. Ultimate move: pulls out a gun and just shoots you. Tusk: literally Conan, biggest sword boi this side of Cloud. Ultimate move: casts Meteor. Like????
I never knew, why doesn’t every character have an ultimate/finisher in the current KI game? it always felt odd to me it sucked cause I was a Spinel main lol
They were going to add them in batches but development stopped before they got to give one to everybody or something along those lines. As someone who used to main Spinal too, I feel your pain.
@@_YESIMHIGH They released 3 packs of character ultimates back in 2017 with the last one released just a little bit after Eagle (the final character). The third pack was the last content added to the game. You can check the dates on the Killer Instinct wiki. I dont remember if they ever talked about it (not going to dig articles to check), but it seems like that was the case.
This game's finishers is one of many reasons why I want to see an MK/KI crossover game. Imagine if these characters, including Gargos, got the MK treatment.
@@itol2201, KI characters doing Ultimates back then are effectively the same as Brutalities today, with a few minor differences. I'd personally would like to see a crossover where both finishers, & tag-team finishers, could change based on a System Direction choice (i.e., if the player changes their style choice, kind of like the CvS series).
@@starbreaker6441, in a joint collaboration between NRS and Rare/Iron Galaxy, each company would probably want to stipulate that their respective companies work on their own respective characters (i.e., NRS for MK, and Rare for KI). It's possible to pull off, provided that the higher-ups at each respective company don't trip over their own dicks.
In killer instinct gold, I remember using the cheat codes, to unlock hidden menus in the options. And then setting the game speed to ludicrous (or however it is spelled?) and the speed increase, coupled with executing the ultimates during high speed combos. Could sometimes and somehow increase the speed of the ultimates and ultras, to a point where they become so much cooler looking, and also get some of that “oomph” and impact that Max was missing a bit. And the best thing was when you did it so fast, that the game bugged. Never have a video game made me feel this powerful. Killer Instinct Gold. By today’s standard it definitely shows its age. But man, do I love this game and it’s ultimates too. When I was a kid, this game blew my mind. And also, Both of Fulgore’s Ultimates are so awesome. And I have honestly lost some recognition of Max as a fellow Fulgore fan, due to his “wrong” opinions. :p Also, Max said more blood was needed in Sabrewulf’s ultimate, and this too could be fixed with KI Gold’s cheat codes.
Kim Wu’s ultimate has a similar energy to Sephiroth neutral B from smash, and I love that one. The other one was admittedly pretty weak. I had even forgotten it completely. And I mained her, lol.
Ohhh 3:18 I think in Spinal's he's supposed to be breaking their back. That's why Jago stood up but stayed hunched over, like he gave them a chronic injury???
I watched the stream and could have sworn Max did some command to get Maya to jump onto the shrunken opponent. Maybe I was half asleep and misremembered.
Actually KI2 Arcade Orchid has an ultimate in the game but is unfinish and only accesible through cheats in mame. It looks to be a remake of the KI1 frog Danger move.
I remember in my local arcade back in the old days, i remember crashing the arcade version of this game. With Jago I would go about it as if I was going for a standard 73 hit ultra combo but instead of doing the ultra, i would do Jago's flaming Endokuken finisher. This for some reason kept crashing the arcade game. First time i thought it was a fluke but i did twice more before it dawned on me that it was indeed a kind of bug here the game would crash and reset if i did that specific combo. I never did that again after that. Lost my credit everytime which was about 50p here in the UK at the time.
Yo Max awesome content as always. I love these rate videos but I noticed that one of the biggest fighting games still alive today doens't have one. Just saying, it would be really cool watching you rating Rage Arts in Tekken 7
I actually like killer instinct gold for n64, because of the fire cat ultimate. KI Gold isn't that bad as people thought. i wish rareware can develop an updated version of KI Gold and fixing the move set controls if microsoft haven't bought them out. You know, i think that when rareware was bought out by microsoft, it kinda sucks that they're not allowed to make games on nintendo consoles anymore. not even another banjo kazooie game.
Huh...Wow, the KI2 finishers look like half-finished, or they ran out of creative ideas. Unless the company said 'Hey, tone it down, we don't want the 'Does not compute' finishers."
My cousin loved this game and growing up he would beat the hell out of me and toyed with me I hated him so much and I got good on the Xbox KI and got even after 6 years lol
Let's be real, Killer Instinct finishers have always kinda sucked. The first two couldn't actually really do anything super violent because, y'know, Nintendo.
Nah, the main problem it's the CGI, it would cost a lot of time to create and animate different models for each finisher, for example if they made sabrewulf rip your arms of eat you, you would have to render each character missing different parts in the process of being ate, that's why so many of those happen outside the screen
Funny enough, I actually pulled off Orchid's No Mercy mid-combo and the game considered it an Ultimate. Don't quite know how I did it considering it was on emulator and using a pad.
This game is epic! Music is on fire! Orchid never looked so good before or after. Also, in my opinion, plays better than the first one as someone who didn't get to experience these when they came out except for magazine screenshots and Super Nintendo version like in 1998. The only thing that sucks is the finishers.
You think he’ll do a Rate the Super on the Super Arts in Street Fighter III: Third Strike and the Rage Arts in Tekken 7: Fated Retribution? Those two in particular I’d love to see. And maybe a Rate the Costumes for Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 and Marvel Vs. Capcom Infinite’s Alternate costumes
The second game feels so rushed. The ultimates and Ultras are super weak. The ultra's have so many repeated animations back to back for every character. I liked the new characters and stages but man it lacked polish that the 1st game had.
Thank you Max for acknowledging that TJ’s second ultimate was indeed very insensitive lol. How’s my guy the only one shooting a gun? Didn’t age well at all.
To be honest, while I KNEW that Maya's second ultimate was terrible, but hearing Max say the phrase at 6:23 made me laugh at the absurdity. 1/10 if I was being serious, 10/10 if I'm memeing
If it was, then that would explain why some of the previous characters (Thunder, Cinder, and Riptor (also Eyedol, but his absence is justified, as he was killed off in every character ending except his own)) were absent.
Anyone else want Max to rate the supers of games he wouldn’t normally play, just to see him have to play? Obviously this would just be for a one off thing like the central fiction videos but it’d still be fun.

I wanna see him play that anyway as a Boss Rage
I would love to watch that.
I wanna see him do Rakuga Kids for the N64. The animation on the supers in that game is dynamite
I'm still personally waiting for him to do Tatsunoko vs Capcom. Always loved the supers in that game growing up.
Mace the dark age, a boss rage and rate every finisher, including the 4 secret characters of the N64 version
Jago's Endokyuken finisher was broken through. Especially in stages with auto-zoom, he could literally just chuck them out in succession and if your character didn't have a teleport there was no way to avoid it.
Yup
It does seem like the best finishers in this game involves characters summoning stuff (Tusk, Maya, and Spinal).
The Finishers/Ultimates in KI2 might not be the best Fatality type moves out there, but I always loved the special effects as a kid, and I think they still look pretty cool now. The glowy beam from Jago burning you to a crisp, cat-form Orchid running through you setting you ablaze, Fulgore’s laser turning you to slowmo goo.
Conceptually pretty mid, but VFX wise, especially for its time, it really just hits the ”feels good” spot in my brain.
Yes, exactly! I agree so much.
I think Tusk have the best ones, first a snake that bites you half and pullls u up. Then a shower of meteors and then a comet to squish you is hardcore AF. i think
Then the other one is Maya, she summons an elephant to squish you and sit on you.. daamn. Amazing too.
Maya's elephant Is similar to Spinal huge skull

Operation dumbo drop out of 10 got me laughing
(Combo shoots at his opponent)
THINK. ABOUT. IT.
If it was Bishop from X-Men: Next Dimension, he would have said, "Be thankful I didn't kill you."
What are the odds I was literally just watching a rate the super for the newer KI game 😂
About 50/50
They aren't super flashy, but I'd love to see a rate the super for the finishers from Primal Rage.
Yes! Especially the golden shower
the bad part about these is that you had to block them and they could be spammed endlessly, you could jump from full screen and land on TJ's bullets, and if you blocked it it pretty much pushed you back full screen, you could also take one step forward and be instant blasted by fulgore's pulp laser.

TJ ultimate reminds me of when Kung Lao does a brutality on MKX and tell you LEARN FROM THIS!
Learn what? I'm literally dead. 😂
He's breaking the fourth wall and addressing his opponent's player directly.

Max's disappointment was worth the watch 😆😆

The skeleton seems to kill you then resurrects you to laugh in your face
Fulgore, Combo, Spinal and Tusk have the best finishers here. I love both of Fulgore’s. Combo’s “Think About It” is hilarious. Great game.

2:46 reminds me golden sun
Me too
Looking at this I start to appreciate Shinku Hadouken.
THINK ABOUT IT!!!!
Yo that SAbrewulf 2nd finisher made me think of that one from SamSho, only missing the shower of blood afterwards.
Huh...Wow, the KI2 finishers look like half-finished, or they ran out of creative ideas. Unless the company said 'Hey, tone it down, we don't want the 'Does not compute' finishers."
Makes me very excited to see his reaction to him seeing himself in my own game! It's a tcg based on fighting games, manga and American comics
Tusk 2nd finisher needed was the shaking camera for the meteor.
My cousin loved this game and growing up he would beat the hell out of me and toyed with me I hated him so much and I got good on the Xbox KI and got even after 6 years lol
Also 10 out of 10 because of the cartoonish burp at the end of Tusk's Snake Finisher
Rate the supers and finishers on either the whole Bloody Roar Series or the Terrordrome series
Max for the love of god please do a Rate the costumes AND themes for UMvC3 💛
The best part about TJ combo's finisher it's his ability to trigger the gun with the box gloves
He's not wearing boxing gloves. He went MMA fighter in the second game; his hands are taped up.
Think about it!
I combo a THINK ABOUT IT out of 10
Starting to remember why I skipped thus back in the day...
Thanks Max!!!!
I love the Saberwulf and Combo ultimates 🔥

Eu apenas não pude ignorar que quando a edição dava zoom no Max ficava escrito grandão "PAU" do lado dele
Yo Maxie, you should totally rate the super for Evil Zone (Eretzvaju) from the PS1 Era
It has some REEEDICULOUS SUPERS BRO
How is this video age-restricted and some of the MK rate the fatals are fine?
This game is epic! Music is on fire! Orchid never looked so good before or after. Also, in my opinion, plays better than the first one as someone who didn't get to experience these when they came out except for magazine screenshots and Super Nintendo version like in 1998.

Are you going to do the supers on Def Jam Vendetta and Def Jam fight for NY yet.
I wait.🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
My very first self owned fg....gatdamn. the nostalgia.....
9:36 Jesus, that looks rough. XD
In which Fulgore turns into a Laser Juicero Press, and juices his opponent.
You think he’ll do a Rate the Super on the Super Arts in Street Fighter III: Third Strike and the Rage Arts in Tekken 7: Fated Retribution? Those two in particular I’d love to see. And maybe a Rate the Costumes for Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 and Marvel Vs. Capcom Infinite’s Alternate costumes
Have you done the episode with ultimate combos yet?
If the Maya elephant Ultimate had farted at the end it would have been a 10
Great video as usual. You should do Rate the Super for Skullgirls sometime 😁🙏🏾
You should also just play Skullgirls in general lol
So much about KI2 just screams "rushed"
Executing the move set to do the No Mercies were difficult to perform.
The second game feels so rushed. The ultimates and Ultras are super weak. The ultra's have so many repeated animations back to back for every character. I liked the new characters and stages but man it lacked polish that the 1st game had.
It was rushed. KI was hot that the demand for another one was crazy. It was only a 2 to 3 year gap between KI and KI2.
Oh, it definitely could’ve used a Stomp!
Hey Max, will you do a Rate the Super for KOF XIV before XV comes out?
The first Tusk Ultimate is a Conan reference: in the first movie, he encounters a giant snake.
I still love all these ultimates idk why give Jago a low rating on his laser sword I love it I give both of his 10/10
Fulgore turned into a beast lol
Tusk doing the Madara meteor drop? 10/10
Intro was on point... First time here
you have ALOT of content to catch up on - have fun
Did training mode affect spinals finishers
I feel like these same finishers in Killer Instinct Gold hit way harder lol.
Let's goooo
Ultimate Victory
You should totally do Rate the super for World Heroes Perfect. A Neo Geo fighting game
Killer instinct ultimate edition ultimate combos ?
Guess the KI2 No Mercy/Ultimate rules are similar to Blazblue Astral Finishers.
We need some Bloody Roar Rate the Super
Max. Want a good time? Rate the Finishers of Samurai Shodown V Special
I think at this point they felt like they were making a discount MK and lost interest in the finishers part way through
Thank you Max for acknowledging that TJ’s second ultimate was indeed very insensitive lol. How’s my guy the only one shooting a gun? Didn’t age well at all.
Technically Fulgore fires guns as well, but yeah, for the only human, it has not aged well. I thought about it.
The Snake Bites Have Won this Video.
Makes you think...
Max do you remember Clay Fighters
Rate the supers playstation all stars
To be honest, while I KNEW that Maya's second ultimate was terrible, but hearing Max say the phrase at 6:23 made me laugh at the absurdity. 1/10 if I was being serious, 10/10 if I'm memeing
K.I 1 even looks better ingame. N64 was a weird time in gaming graphics
N64 was KI gold but KI2 árcade looks way better than gold and KI1
I missed these
So, they remove this from the new KI?
Was Killer Instinct 2 rushed? It feels like it
If it was, then that would explain why some of the previous characters (Thunder, Cinder, and Riptor (also Eyedol, but his absence is justified, as he was killed off in every character ending except his own)) were absent.
You can ultra to super by the way.
8:07 This is America
Are you familiar with Mace the Dark Age
TJ's uppercut finisher was much better in Gold.
Where is KOF XIV Rate the Super?
I like KI 2 but they really phoned it in with the finishers and the ultra combos
Shame
A Bruce Lee refefence but without a Bruce Lee cry? Blasphemy. The sheer BLASPHEMY of it all.
awesome
IT'S HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! best game ever IMO!
And the mini ultras ???????
4:46 Do you understand? 😂
