Best. Fighting. Game. EVER. Seriously Max, thank-you so much for turning me on to the 'new' KI. Used to play it a ton back in the day in the arcades and on Nintendo. Was never very good, (I was more a SF/MK kinda guy), but KI was always fun. Fast forward to now, I'm in my 40's and still playing fighers. I'd glanced at this a couple times but thanks to your videos and the XGP sub on PC I've been in fighting game bliss. Still trying to figure out who my mains are but I'm having a blast the whole time and can actually win some matches online! Great game, great community. Keep it up brother. LET'S GO!!!
this video is a new favorite for me, you speak so well on how the mechanics of creators and gamers work on development of fighting games is awesome, and of course there has to be a continous talk between all the things we as gamers want and the developers can do or want to. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO AND LOVE FROM MEXICO
What a damn good game this is. Underappreciated honestly. Like triply so when you think of every fighting game disappointment or controversy since. Especially the likes of SFV and MvC.
Best Aganos video.........”Hype Beyond Belief week 5” if you guys haven’t seen that one......please do yourself a favor and watch it. Best Aganos video Max has ever done 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Did you just discover Max? He was literally KI hype man for the 6 years of its life. That's how I found Max because Microsoft barely advertise their games. KI is the best fighter this generation. You owe yourself a chance to play it.
Because xbox has been under a cloud of hate since launch if you want to be honest. If MS would take a chance right now to pay attention to a pretty big gaming RUclips channel with max, and revive this game, with all the scrutiny at MS, EVERYONE will hear about KI.
Its crazy because your not alone. Thats what's amazing about this game. To understand all the little nuances in KI.... you literally HAVE TO PLAY IT!! Mastering your character is so satisfying, especially when you realize how much differently the next character plays. Best fighter in the last decade imo.
Wow. I never seen this character before in a KI/KI2 fight vid. With moves and design like that, how is he not a final boss? That wall build and conversion to a bat are genius when used correctly. The 90s was the golden era of fighting games. What the hell did Hisako did to Cinder?
I got crazy idea for the next Killer Instinct. I think it should have the tag team style similar to Marvel versus Capcom but different. Since it Killer Instinct it has to be special. I think characters to have additional move sets when parents together. unique additional movesets only they can perform when pairing together into a combo. When counter breaker is perform additional damage should be added in a tag chain combo. However if you catch the opponent tagging in a combo by countering with a combo breaker at the right time then the characters Partners should be able to kick the opponent's partner back in and perform a devastating combo on both of them. In instinct mode You still have the option to heal your character partner heatlh faster instead of using instinct mode for yourself. What you think max!
Sounds similar to what MK9 did in its tag mode to be honest. But no combo/counter breakers obviously. I would like to see a counter/combo breaker tag mechanic
If you look at max community posts you will see his explanation of why,I would link to you if I coild but looki it up. Basically,he always wanted to shorten the intro after a certain period of time,wich was after 6 months.
This game's soundtrack is probably its best thing, and that's saying a lot from how many good things it has going for it. Mick Gordon, Celldweller, and Atlas Plug all did extremely well. I mean, ffs, Mick Gordon did the DooM 2016 soundtrack, of course it sounds amazing. The game feels so incredibly hype from how all of the effects and things look. The Combo Breakers, the announcer, the impact of the strikes, the supers, the ultra combos, just... God, how have I not heard of this game before?
Welcome gaming friend!! This game forced me to buy xbox one Lol. It looks more amazing on sceen. The particle effects are A1..... you will find yourself watching sparks contour around the character, and bounce around on the ground. Its visually impressive to say the least.
I love Killer Instinct so much but I suck so bad at fighting games, haha. I like to think I have fairly good reaction times but stuff like Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct are like a whole new level, especially having to remember combo's and possibly the enemies too.
With that fighting game age statistic, I'd like to point out that most people I know who like fighting games are around my age and I know a lot of people. I'm 19 and have played many different fighting game since I was around 5, starting with MK Trilogy on the N64. Most of my friends over the years love them, too and in schools we even had tournaments with games like Smash, Guilty Gear, Marvel vs Capcom 3, etc. Yes, the demographic is mostly adults, but there are quite a few of us teens who are very passionate about fighting games.
Max right about the fighting game demographic. I’m in my late 30s and as a kid shooters wasn’t big. Fighting games brought us together in the arcade. Quarters Up.
Right, the hardcore gamers of our day showed the results off their dedication to mastering their hobby, in the arcade, on fighters, point blank. Now these so called hardcore play rpgs and story games WTF.
Great KI action and quality Commentary Max. RQ at the end lol. Them walls are dope :-). Ex Fighting Layer is a very cool Fighting Game guys. Max do you think KI should remain a Microsoft Exclusive or going back too Nintendo aswell would be better for the game and hopefully a Sequel coming also, would love too know your thoughts on that man.
I remember a friend of my randomly pressing buttons on his controller while we were about to start a match and he picked cinder, and suddenly he was idol. I lost my shit lol
Am I the only one who would kinda consider a KI port to switch, you know considering Microsoft is sharing some of their exclusives and KI could use a bit more of a revival.
It would be good for the exposure of the game, im just not sure if MS should go any deeper into all these one sided partnerships they're making. All it would probably accomplish is MS actually not doing anything else with the game because letting switch have it would be a finishing touch to it. MS's decision making is wierd like that.
If MS just teased a new KI, they could win back a lot of xbox fans that want sequels to at least one of the original MS studios launch titles. Seeing KI demo in the mall made me make my choice between xbox and ps4.
You should've especially when it was new because the competition was crazy and matches were plentiful. If you play one game as much as I did KI, it justifies the purchase.
Yea its kinda late to purchase a new system for one game, but i assure you my guy, there are quite a few other xbox sleepers you would enjoy. Its sad that the xbox one gaming collection at large was painted to be such shit quality, when its honestly not true.
@@applejuicejunkie316 i got my xbox in 2014. Every night after work my lineup would consist of; KI, gigantic, titanfall, and gears 4...... You talk about escaping. I had to rotate witch game i would play first because.... i would literally have to tear myself away from any of these games to play the next one, all while ignoring invites to the other said games!! Gigantic is also another game that was Xbox gold!! The hate from the reviewers, combined with the toxic side of the overwatch community, killed an absolutely awesome game, and sunk a very creative and passionate dev team!! Its a shame what a little bit of undeserved hate, and plain ignorance can do in a industry like the gaming industry.
A bad Aganos is a punching bag.
A good Aganos teaches you how to fear God.
truer words have never been spoken.
LMAO
You have won the internet sir.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is what truth serum on steroids looks like
7:41 that donation timing tho
Right! Epic
Now only if that was Max doing that voice..... but I don't think so... cause then his voice would be WRECKED XD
ULTRAAAAAAAAA...donation...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
7:41
KI Announcer: ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
Max: -AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!
...And that's what you call "excellent timing." 🤗
Needed that
Jago: I got a tiger spirit and a giant sword
Fulgore: I got a laser beam and energy claws
Aganos: I got a rock
"It's a big rock :c"
That wall mechanic is scary
Never seen that many wall breaks before
Fr
I mean, you can exchange positions against him, but a good Aganos player can guess it.
Aganos himself is scary and I agree
You know Killer Instinct deserves to be called a great fighting game when it's able to make a badass fighter out of *a pile of rocks and a mask.*
And bronze. Aganos was a bronze golem before the elements and time's passing got to him.
2:10 Here it comes, here it HERE IT COMES AND......PEOPLE`S ELBOW!!!!
WATCH OUT WATCH OUT WATCH OUT!
By THE ROCK!
7:43 the timing for that alert could not be any more perfect
Wow. Thats was satisfying to hear XD
They gave aganos the people's elbow, man that's amazing
Nevermind, I don't need to know what's going on. I need more of that Aganos trolling with walls because that's hilarious.
KI is probably one of the few games where I go "what the hell is even happening?"
Somebody is dying is the only certainity
This and MVC.
The tutorial in-game is VERY good. You'll understand after that! It's got some really unique systems though.
This game and MvC2 is the epitome of “I dunno what’s happening but damn it looks cool as fuck”
I thought this until I played it and it's actually really simple but in a good way.
When Aganos hits people through walls it's HYPE AF
Best. Fighting. Game. EVER. Seriously Max, thank-you so much for turning me on to the 'new' KI. Used to play it a ton back in the day in the arcades and on Nintendo.

"I dont know how much popular you need to get!"
Makes a hashtag that says bringbackKI

Hisako: STAGE ULTRA YOU M*THER F*CKER
Kim Wu: not for you, im out
*Player has Left*
The funny thing is that Storm dropped connection so it was actually Hisako who kicked Kim out a window and peaced the hell out lol.
@@Fujinn2556 True LMAO
hehe 69% damage off of walls.
Nice
Best Aganos video.........”Hype Beyond Belief week 5” if you guys haven’t seen that one......please do yourself a favor and watch it. Best Aganos video Max has ever done 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I think that was one of the reasons i started playing
Dude, thank you.
GhostSamurai no prob!!! Max went off on that video. The comebacks were real lol
birn baum yea, I picked up on Aganos when I seen Max play him. He’s really good once you get used to his moves and lack of speed
Yeah, he became instantly my main. Such a cool and fun character
7:30
Jesus that sync with the music. It’s like I’m playing a rhythm game and I love it.
7:42 is the most hype thing I've seen this week!
Did... did the music rhythm go with the hits of the characters... why have I not heard more about this game!?
The ultras go with the music. Also the songs in background dynamically change depending on intensity of the match.
Did you just discover Max? He was literally KI hype man for the 6 years of its life. That's how I found Max because Microsoft barely advertise their games. KI is the best fighter this generation. You owe yourself a chance to play it.

Because it's not as great as people make it out to be imo
@@darkheat9946 but its no doubt better than your favorite fighting game.... by far.
2 hits + 4 walls = 69% Hyper combo. Entirely worth the wait.
Nice.
That Aganos vs Tusk match was so hype to watch my jaw dropped for half of it.
♫And the walls came tumblin' down (after Aganos puts you through them)♫
That Arbiter was sick af though. Had no idea what was happening but goddamn was it amazing to look at.
Its crazy because your not alone. Thats what's amazing about this game.
To understand all the little nuances in KI.... you literally HAVE TO PLAY IT!!
Mastering your character is so satisfying, especially when you realize how much differently the next character plays. Best fighter in the last decade imo.
Aganos' wall mecanic is pretty insane!!!
Wow. I never seen this character before in a KI/KI2 fight vid. With moves and design like that, how is he not a final boss? That wall build and conversion to a bat are genius when used correctly.
The 90s was the golden era of fighting games.
What the hell did Hisako did to Cinder?

I'm confused. Why was Benny removed from the intro? He had his own introduction.
The entire intro was shortened a while ago by about 8 seconds
If you look at max community posts you will see his explanation of why,I would link to you if I coild but looki it up. Basically,he always wanted to shorten the intro after a certain period of time,wich was after 6 months.
Contract dispute
can i just point out how amazing this matches the ULTRAAA at 7:40
So much hype watching ZergKiller as Aganos!!! Awesome to see him still playing matches, and damn that 4 wall set up was DIRTY!!! 🏆🏆🏆
Killer instinct is super underrated.
Max, You’re a huge inspiration to me and my gaming channel
I dont have an xbox and I love this game
@@ArtThouLivid unfortunately, I am not of the pc master race.
This game by far has the most creative character roster ever in a fighting game
This game's soundtrack is probably its best thing, and that's saying a lot from how many good things it has going for it. Mick Gordon, Celldweller, and Atlas Plug all did extremely well. I mean, ffs, Mick Gordon did the DooM 2016 soundtrack, of course it sounds amazing.
The game feels so incredibly hype from how all of the effects and things look. The Combo Breakers, the announcer, the impact of the strikes, the supers, the ultra combos, just... God, how have I not heard of this game before?
Welcome gaming friend!! This game forced me to buy xbox one Lol.
It looks more amazing on sceen. The particle effects are A1..... you will find yourself watching sparks contour around the character, and bounce around on the ground.
Its visually impressive to say the least.
I spent the last year learning Guilty Gear, but I am thinking of moving to KI. Lots to learn, lots of fun!
Do it. Best fighting game ever to me.
Aganos is the man who has walls of crushing strength.
Also if you give me an innuendo I'll hit your knees with a bat. DO. NOT.
When he breaks the fourth wall it’s a little funny
@@NobleEvolutionWolfThatOneBean
He breaks the fourth wall?
The King
He literally just did in the video
The King 4:35
Wish we had seen that Kan-Ra in the last tournament
Eyup:
Dat Golem boi sure is a good kid.
I love Killer Instinct so much but I suck so bad at fighting games, haha. I like to think I have fairly good reaction times but stuff like Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct are like a whole new level, especially having to remember combo's and possibly the enemies too.
This game looks hard AF ... but also HYPE AS HOLY HELL
Very easy to get into with combo assist and tutorial is the best around. Hardest thing will be finding your main.
Rich Mass really wish it was on Ps4 but considering getting an Xbox just to join in on the hype
@@gerardomercado5289 It's also on Windows 10 & Steam
3:25 I didn’t even know this was a thing with aganos! 😳

KI2 on Xbox Scarlett
brought to you by MAXIMILLIAN DOOD
KI 2 Scarlett edition and on e3 next year with launch halo it going boost Scarlett sales
We can only dream right😔😔
That fubuki player is really good. Does he have a channel?
Let's created the milestone for New KI!
Lol. At 7:44 your donation scream linked up with the ultra scream. Lol.
The fact that this game still has a large sum of people still playing it shows everyone that it’s not dead
I just have to say I really like Maxs intro! Good sound and visuals.
Max right about the fighting game demographic. I’m in my late 30s and as a kid shooters wasn’t big. Fighting games brought us together in the arcade. Quarters Up.
Right, the hardcore gamers of our day showed the results off their dedication to mastering their hobby, in the arcade, on fighters, point blank.
Now these so called hardcore play rpgs and story games WTF.
the humiliation was such that the guy left the match at the end hahahahaha
7:38 WTF that donation timing
Please please please bring back Killer Instinct!
You got Killer Cuts??
Who has the best theme?
I'm thinking Cinder, but I love Sabertooth's and how it melts into Spinal's theme.
Imagine how many sales it wouldve made on all platforms
7:40
The timing on that tier 2 sub lmao
I was just watching your X-Men Origins Wolverine playthrough and you just were mentioning Aganos when this video popped in my notifications lmao
Wow. Hisako beat out Kim Wu so hard outta the stage, she got knocked out of the game.
Been waiting for more of these
Radical.
Nariko from Heavenly Sword fit perferct in KI and Ninja theory is part of MSFT.
Wow... dont have us dreaming on this level of badassery bro c'mon, im gonna cry if they dont remake this game🤣🤣🤣
Sony owns Heavenly Sword even though Ninja Theory made it. Nariko was even in PS All Stars.
4:38 why did he lose all his health? Did the walls he setup stay there???
It because he got punch through the walls. The more walls a character gets punch through the more damage it does.
Also the walls stay up there until you knock Aganos down three times.
As an aganos main im proud
Damn, I gotta get back into this game.
Aganos scares me every time I play AS him or AGAINST him
We really need a new Killer Instinct and more KI content. A suggestion for the next KI online video is TJ Combo
I wouldn't ask for a new KI, rather more advertising and possibly new ways to play in order to attract more players
@@Jimmyzation MS is a trillion dollar company, they should do both.
Aganos has a Bastion vibe
Apples and oranges
I never get tired of that intro
More Killer Instinct 4Ever
Did anyone notice the perfection of @7:42
That arbiter was so hype
I love that shadow jago skin
7:45 What a befitting moment to get a subscribe.
Great KI action and quality Commentary Max. RQ at the end lol. Them walls are dope :-). Ex Fighting Layer is a very cool Fighting Game guys.

The game announcer: ULLTTRRAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Love these videos
I remember playing k.i @ super Kmart in 1994🤔🤪
I remember a friend of my randomly pressing buttons on his controller while we were about to start a match and he picked cinder, and suddenly he was idol. I lost my shit lol
Aganos made me love this game-- I wish I had the time and patience to commit to KI! Some day...
Wassup Max? Good matches bro!
Am I the only one who would kinda consider a KI port to switch, you know considering Microsoft is sharing some of their exclusives and KI could use a bit more of a revival.
Soon you'll be able to play it on a laptop or phone with Xcloud.

In Shadow lords, gargos is confused of what aganos is, and I’m not sure why he doesn’t know

To bad he sukkkkkkkks
@@15OgLoc lol max literally just stated that 2 aganos made evo top 8.
ISmokD3m to bad neither won, somebody with a better character won.
@@15OgLoc yup but to say he sucks is your your opinion. Perhaps maybe you just suck utilizing him?
Tusk's theme always gets me.
Best thing about him is his theme song
7:26 that's they pest super I've ever seen.
Just curious, can someone tell me about that Disney Land Banana story, please?
I clicked when I see aganos
I've never wanted a. Xbox or gaming PC until this moment
Jajjass the last part lmao
I'm here for Zergkiller
Sick sets
i don't play fighting games except for soul caliber but i absolutely love watching KI.
Honestly if this got to come out on switch or ps4 I'd buy it but I know it never will and I just can't justify buying an xbox1 for literally one game
P C B B
You should've especially when it was new because the competition was crazy and matches were plentiful. If you play one game as much as I did KI, it justifies the purchase.
Yea its kinda late to purchase a new system for one game, but i assure you my guy, there are quite a few other xbox sleepers you would enjoy. Its sad that the xbox one gaming collection at large was painted to be such shit quality, when its honestly not true.

Ah, the salt at the end of that last fight though... let a brotha see a stage ultra!
nice to see KI is still being played in the console rather than the pc.
as intended!
As a 33 year old I just wish for a company to pick up or remake a TMNT fighting game. Been wanting it for years!!
I liked original KI back then, I have tried this one but really didn't get it. Looks good though.
