Killer Instinct |OT| New Look! New Moves! Same Killer Grooves!
- Thread starter Silky
- Start date
I'm still have major problems excuting forward > down > (forward/down), I get it maybe 3 out of 10 times
I'm pretty sure that Silky meant to say Down/Forward-> Down -> Down/Forward. If you end at Foward, you're going to get Endokukens a lot of the time.
You barely have to flick the stick to get a DP to come out. If you think of the analog stick as a clock face: 4:30 -> 5:30 - >4:30 is enough to register the inputs.

I wonder how many sales killer instinct has and how many downloaded the game. I was watching Price Roger stream last night and he was playing Orchid. I wonder if he would pick up TJ Combo if he was available.
Do a linker with light or medium punch/kick and hold the attack button. Using a heavy punch/kick is always an ender.
So it's opener>auto>linker holding down medium or light attack?
Yup. For a light or medium linker you would do the motion and tap light or medium attack, for a heavy linker you would do the motion than press and hold down either light or medium attack. It feels odd at first, but you'll get used to it. Early on I found myself always holding the button down and getting heavy linkers even when I wanted lights or mediums.
All of the achievements are messed up. I got the 5th color unlocked for everyone at around 40 ranked wins. No clue why. 4th color should have opened for me for Orchid awhile ago but didn't. There's no rhyme or reason to it. Srill, it's a real fun game. I had a guy trash talk me whispering the whole time. I haven't laughed that hard in awhile.

It's a known issue. First thought to only effect people with Shadow Jago but now it seems it can effect anyone at random. Max is having issues with his game as well. I think DH intends to fix it with the first patch that will supposedly have some changes to how ranked matches work as well. Not sure if we will see it before or after the holidays, I'd bank on after.

Has anyone had any trouble completing the challenge for watching 5 replays? I've watched about 6 or 7 and it hasn't yet unlocked for me.
This game really seems to have some kind of issue with keeping track of accolades. About 5 minutes ago the Sadira Master achievement popped for me for having 150 fight titles with her. Only problem is I checked right after and I'm still only at 122. Very strange stuff.

I am not sure, but Orchid might need some buffs. Watching Max having to switch from her to Sabre just so he could win some tournament says a lot.
I find her damage output low personally, but I didn't think she needed any buffs, but watching products players is really making me see otherwise.

Salem NH store said they had like 30 in a couple weeks ago, best bet is to call and ask..even if they say they can't tell you ask again nicely. Worked for me lol

Does this game add extra his to enders depending on how many different ones you do, like KI2? I think you could get an extra 4 hits for enders in that one if you did them all.
This game levels up enders per-combo. The green blocks under combo hit numbers indicated how strong your ender level is. But so far, there isn't any way to get additional hits by using the full cache of enders like KI2. I wouldn't be surprised to see a character earn that as a "unique combo trait" eventually, though.
Do note that enders have unique traits, though. Some are for damage, some are for meter building, a few are for pop-ups, and some are to push back / wall bounce. The ender level determines how big each of these effects are.

Thanks for this, I think I was overdoing my inputs. I was doing 4 > 6 > 4.
man i had a lot of trouble with this post until i realised you were doing the clock
Code:
11 12 1
10 2
9 0 3
8 4
7 6 5789
456
123
I finally received my KI arcade stick today. Already put about half hour into the game using the stick and my execution time has improved tremendously. This ought to keep me occupied over the holidays. As far as the stick goes, it has pretty good build quality and the led buttons are a nice touch. I am not overly impressed by the artwork, though. It seems like someone printed it on a home inkjet printer and slathered it on there, so I might end up changing the artwork given how easy it is to mod this stick.
Fuck, i want this game so bad.....
Why does it have to be on a 500$ dollar system
how much is the stick?
Well, the MSRP for the stick is $200, but it has been fairly difficult to get hold of this thing. I had an order on Amazon for ages, which I ended up cancelling since there was no concrete ship date. Gamestop received some stock last week, so I was able to order it through them. Stick plus the system, you are looking at over 700 bucks.
Saw this at the DH forums, Atari made a KI clone back in the 90's that never got released/finished.
Watch and thank me later..VICIOUS CIRCLE

what an awful clone... Like street fighter the movie type of awful.
Damn, that makes Rise of the Robots look awesome.
It's so choppy.
Hahaha..thanks for the laugh! XD
When Rise of the Robots is better you know the game is downright abysmal, lol.

Especially when you're trying to earn a Pin-Ultimate pin by winning 4 ranked matches in a row.

I think the DVR/Skydrive upload option is really cool. I was able to capture my first online ultra, even though it was a cheesy-scrubby combo. I'm not very good at fighting games, during the match I was just doing the scrub combos that you learn in the dojo. Really fun game. Back in the SNES days I learned how to do everybody's killer/utlra combo, never could do it in a real match though.

Since there is a free version I am less interested in users online and more interested in actual sales numbers. Seeing as how sales number are usually a cryptic mess from the video game industry I won't be holding my breath.
The game deserves a season 2, assuming that the team can offer support as promised and we start seeing more of those small fixes being implemented on a quick schedule. Right now it's the normal sit and wait for the next large patch to drop. Not exactly what Xbox One was supposed to offer us nor what DH was touting.
I think this is my favorite fighting game in the longest time. I'm not looking to get super competitive/master the game's mechanics anytime soon, but it's just so much fun to jump into a match and play. I'm slowly playing the training stuff and learning things though. LOVE how the Ultra combos change/alter/destroy the fighting arenas at the end of the match. Looks incredible. The dynamic music is really nice too. Really digging Thunder's theme the most. I hope DH/Micro continue to update/add to this game throughout One's life cycle because as of right now I have no problems making this my go to fighting game for the generation.

I'm guessing (hoping) the delay is because most of Double Helix probably went on their post-release+holiday vacation. It's good to see they have patch details coming "soon" but I don't expect anything until January. Would be cool for them to stream next week and just tell us when the patch and spinal are coming.
I have no idea how long fighting games usually go without patches/updates since Killer Instinct is the first one I've poured a huge amount of time into.

It can be a very long wait for patches, if we ever get them at all (UMvC3.) Unless there are game breaking bugs we usually don't see a ton of support but some developers are better than others. The thing about it is there are usually a small amount of patches but when they do arrive they have a ton of fixes / changes.
With Xbox One's new patch system it was supposed to mean we would see quicker updates to small fixes without the need for more spaced out large patches. That has not been the case so far but it's still early. Obviously there are some glaring problems that need to be addressed (Sadira unbreakables, ranking.) Major changes to any of the roster I doubt we would see any time soon and probably not necessary seeing as how the game is still new.
This is the only fighter I am putting real time into right now so I'm just hopeful it works out. I would hate to see it make the same mistakes others that came before have and die out in the community.
