This game is a blast to watch. I wished it had a bigger community. So many great fighters have a smaller dedicated community.

[@HanDaimond]

Well, it was exclusive to the worst console of the past generation.

[@Arnell_Mediocrity_Long]

@@HanDaimond True, the Xbox One sold the least amount of units...however, my point was in a general sense. Meaning other fighting games that are on MULTIPLE consoles...not just Killer Instinct. But yes, in Killer Instinct's case, it being only on Xbox One is definitely one of the reasons why it doesn't have a bigger community.

[@Arnell_Mediocrity_Long]

@@HanDaimond So I totally agree with you in Killer Instinct's case.

[@HanDaimond]

@@Arnell_Mediocrity_Long Fortunately they made the smart decision to bring it to the PC as well and with crossplay, that helped much.

[@Arnell_Mediocrity_Long]

@@HanDaimond 😮Oh yeah, that's right...I actually forgot about it being on PC. Good thing you reminded me...and yes, that definitely helped the community.

[@kingroosta]

KI is so damn hype. You have to pay attention the whole time. Even in the middle of combos. How is this not the most popular fighting game. The hype literally never stops!

[@unlucky_spoon4152]

DJ Rayge the game got bashed on because it was 720p 30 fps on the xbox one when it first launched

[@kalega311]

It's not the most popular b/c it's not on PS4. Not picking sides, I don't own a PS4, but I feel that's really the only explanation.

[@ProjectShinkai]

it was

[@lordjimbo2]

Jesus Christ, this is two hours of madness. Props to whoever balanced the sound - the SFX and music add to the intensity.

[@OregonPacifist]

Haters since 2013: "KI is dead". Long live KI!

[@adarius99]

Snuggle Gator stfu 90s nostalgic bitch

[@OregonPacifist]

adarius99 triggered?

[@walterflanagan9674]

Snuggle Gator He's mad

[@PostingIsMyThingYo]

if you compare tournament views, KI and SFV they are nearly equal.

[@user-hy5hs2wk2i]

Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter got a better story mode than this shit.

[@henrih137]

The visuals and combo variety in this game are second to none!! Bring back Killer instinct!!!

[@madmuffinz]

If only the commentators knew no one could hear them over the gameplay

[@DBlockKTV]

madmuffinz It's the music. Which can be taken out

[@hansmatheson5976]

Yeah the hype was deafening

[@RosencrantzxGuildenstern]

Still hpye as fuck.

[@exedracs4029]

Loved watching Aganos tear Kim Wu apart

[@josuesalada214]

I do not know this game personally but it looks like very good... thank you for uploading it...

[@raphaels33]

how many particles do you want? Glacius: YES.

[@101jir]

7:53 pretty much sums up why I like playing both these characters so much! Also, the Eagle VS Aganos setup really surprised me. One might expect exactly what ended up happening. Aganos isn't exactly mobile except for one move, and has some good reach attacks but no ranged attacks. Aganos from what I have seen tends to do best making others approach him and using reach, rather than making approaches himself. Against Eagle he doesn't have that luxury. Although 1:21:36 did surprise me.

[@shadad07]

I came here to see this moment @1:33:36 where Nicky get ELBOW DROP LOL

[@ibewatchin6497]

Yo that godlike aganos tho

[@xxxj0hns0nxxx19]

That riptor player made her look awesome !!! That's why I main her she's so full of potential

[@101jir]

Yeah, tons of speed combined with some decent reach on her heavy attacks makes her really fun to play, once she gets going she is really hard to stop. Even after a combo break, you can just gt right back in the action. I also really like Sadira, Sabrewulf, and Thunder.

[@ThatPrettyBMF]

This game is the reason that I converted to PC gaming instead of upgrading to PS4.

[@ziceisaac2883]

Badass tournament

[@bradklaas2925]

damit nicky!!!! still my favorite player even though he seemed off this tourny compared to usual

[@ATD909]

Makes me want to update my graphics card in my PC to play this! :-D

[@RainbowCrash56]

I play on the lowest settings The game runs in smooth 60 fps

[@bowlofarthritus713]

I wish I could make time to be as good as I was with the 90s games, such as Killer Instinct 1 and 2. I used to rule the arcade room in the mid 90s with them.... ugh now today, I just dont have the time or motivation to relearn everything and compete against the new generation of gamers.... 72 wins in a row on KI2 in the arcade

[@dazspurs9899]

Same here also with mortal kombat in the mid 90s happy days,unfortunately today’s generation will never know how satisfying it was to beat someone on the original arcade machine

[@leshawn108]

If you played street fighter,mortal Kombat, or the last ki on SNES the moves are identical, same motion for special moves.

[@kalega311]

That dude in the back working his magic to get that girl's number at the end?

[@staygreat3611]

killer instinct doesn't have enough story. I would have made mira and saberwulf a pair who knoew each other before he became a wolf beast

[@mindofanintrovert2046]

Thatd just be too similiar to Orchid and Jago as well as Thunder and Eagle

[@salvadorianboy100]

Dang, these games were lit, all of circa's games were hypee

[@Khorius]

oh man that aganos play got me so hard.

[@3EBstudio]

i thought they stuck with the same 6 characters... this looks like a full game now ,looks lit

[@themacca277]

all these characters have been out for about 2 years

[@vynthiswechseln3868]

**Sees end of first match...** Me: I bet they won't ultra...since they don't fatality in M.K. **The ultra starts up, and time stops for an eternity. Hope starts to fill my soul, as I've finally found it. A community that isn't afraid to pull off finishers to wonderfully paired match-ups. They were put in the game for that very reason, for those finishing touches....now, let us see how many hits they can get in~** **One ultra hit and they cancel it** Me:....Why?! WHY WOULD YOU RUIN IT?!

[@RapJayPinkYoshi]

Bruh all I hear is “C-C-C-C COMBO BREAKER!!!” And “C-C-C-C COUNTER BREAKER!!”

[@Nywraper]

Yo I didn't know this game was so gud

[@alexnice2221]

KI on steam \O/ will be lit

[@rabbidscool]

alex nice its coming to steam on september 14

[@TheKonsav]

[@Dobywulf]

[@yoyomortal1]

Damn kalypso dominated

[@arhontex]

Самый динамичный файтинг из всех что я видел)))))

[@franciscojavierrivascecili8485]

Es estas consolas tan virtualmente modernas , tantos gráficos y tantos adelantos que le hacen... lo que hacen es sin duda . Romper la magia de aquellos juego que tantos recuerdos buenos nos hacen tener. Y no respetan nada...que lastima...pensar solo en dinero que triste es

[@abemo1807]

For the next video I rather hear your voices more than the KI music and effects. However great tournament!!

[@Prometheusarcangel]

this is sick

[@Valiant1977]

I don't even play this game, but this looked op as fuck!

[@KGisthename]

Nicky's Mira is beast

[@angelinoco]

UA Kalypso #Legend !! 👏🤘🔥🍻 "KI" 🎮💓🍻 Great Job Guys! ( Commentators) 🍻👏

[@SFSomega]

Kalypso has a fucking sick Sadira :o

[@markhawking5153]

Hello. Anyone can tell me some rules that players participating on it have to obey? Thank you. Any rule you can know just let me know. I only want to know more about this tournament and its rules.

[@kirby8205]

1:01:00 TJS COMBOS!!!

[@ravalogin]

Como me gustaria ver Killer Instinct en Nintendo Switch !!! KI for Nintendo Switch please ...

[@experimento6262]

Noooooo

[@experimento6262]

Eso no es para juegos de pelea solo party games

[@AlemaoGuido]

Does anyone know the name of the music playing in the match Nicky vs Kalypso?

[@theeobeastone5068]

Yo! Idomusic4media! Haven't played against that guy in ages.

[@HiddenZabuzaMist]

The game music is too loud and epic aha

[@TRACKMKIII]

Damn I wish this game was on PS4

[@fbteatime6010]

Sam should of got an xbox...

[@AIG1992]

Sam can also play on pc

[@walterflanagan9674]

FB TeaTime Right I sold boring piece of shit lmao

[@Luisknowstooons]

If you have a windows 10 laptop and a Xbox account then you can get it

[@dazspurs9899]

I played this on Xbox in 2014 then switched to PS4 might get a cheap Xbox just to play this again

[@jasonlobo2350]

the Kim wu vs aganos matchup is so sad for Kim wu :"c and yes I'm a Kim wu main :'v

[@riotex2837]

Bro I was god at that brings the old days

[@cmolodiets]

When you win the first match you generally win the second. There is no adaptation in this game? just good or bad match-ups

[@themacca277]

most match ups are 5-5 or 6-4 there is like 5 or so 7-3 matchups tops. and only 1 8-2

[@silenteye989]

timber wolf a new player

[@tanarri7215]

This game can be such a cluster fuck of random yolo guesses and playing dumb lol but its all in the name of good old fashion fun I suppose

[@otilractv4145]

looks like mortal combat

[@mihawkhawkeyes4179]

what killer instinct version is this?

[@issaciams]

Can someone explain to me how meter works? Why do they keep talking about meter?

[@KillerInstinctArchive]

ki.infil.net/meter.html

[@issaciams]

Killer Instinct Archive oh wait i know all about shadow meter but I thought they were talking about something else. Like that numbered red blocks meter that builds up with hits during a combo. That one I still don't know the purpose of. But thank you anyways.

[@KillerInstinctArchive]

That is the KV meter, which is explained here: ki.infil.net/combo4.html#kv

[@nintendork9207]

This shit was hype, but the sound balancing was absolute garbage. I hope streamer doesn't usually have this problem, or fixes it in the future.

[@SDSOverfiend]

The game the was so good.... It fucked up the fighting game landscape Home and pro.

[@ryanv1854]

Video ends when Aganos lost

[@ryanv1854]

I'm main Aganos, my heart broke when Letalis lost :( still KI is the best fighting game ever existed

[@lucaspoon4202]

Yeah i also main Aganos. That was a real bummer. I mean the final fight was cool but Aganos was just beast.

[@Nihiliste-]

This game is the best FG of recent times along with MK10. But these otaku want their anime garbage.

[@slamtown1903]

Why cant you like both. Killer instinct is my favorite fighting game but i think its stupid to go say that something like mortal kombat 10 which is good but nowhere near as good as thing like tekken and guilty gear. I think your just mad that you did not get your way.

[@slamtown1903]

Sounds like a problem of getting good to me. kinda shows why people think mk10 is a baby game.

[@entropy7270]

Injustice 2 is the best fighting game of all time in my opinion

[@erigor11]

Smash Bros owns them all.

[@zhadoomzx]

Why is noone playing orchid or jago or thunder or all the other characters?

[@101jir]

I've seen Jago in some other tournaments. Just the people they got I guess.

[@leshawn108]

Tournament players usually main one character.

[@riptorisbrokenandhisako7252]

33:14

[@Filipico_w3]

Hey guys, type in "We have a champ!" If you were able to watch the whole thing

[@TumTum21x]

The sound quality for this video is just awful.. cant hear commentary at all...wth?!

[@ThunderstruckElectronix]

Music and game sound is so high. Can barely hear the commentators

[@ThunderstruckElectronix]

Nash Blade y. Cool video though, KI looks awesome

[@haliesymmons6255]

omg. cute boys

[@issaciams]

Does anyone know if they are playing on an Xbox 1/s/x or a PC?

[@KillerInstinctArchive]

Offline fighting game tournaments (like this one) use the console. Only online tournaments allow for PC usage. The One X wasn't released at the time of this tournament, so it would either have been a One S or the original Xbox One.

[@issaciams]

Killer Instinct Archive oh cool thanks.

[@andersonmoreira2374]

Essa Mira muito forte, seloko :o

[@riptorraptor2175]

Bruh pick shadow Jago for crying out loud

[@ВиталяОрлов-щ3я]

👍

[@BlackMask1980]

Is this on pc?

[@BlackMask1980]

No console version?

[@skeletor127]

Window also. Nash is wrong

[@madmuffinz]

It started off on Xbox One, but will be on Steam for PC soon

[@user-rq7cg1xj5e]

Just released on Steam. :)

[@KevTheGalaxybender]

+BlackMask42080 released on steam a few days ago

[@000cemu000]

if we only can put the volume down of thew commentaries!!! wtf dude they need to talk all the time! lol

[@cw4099]

It's too hard to follow this game for me. Sucks, cause it's dope as hell

[@darrylwashington685]

Too much Plan goes off audio and visual video sucks could not watch the whole video two hours of stopping play Stop and Play

[@alnadzsonjayari6991]

Bias comentator

[@symeoncarter8144]

People still play ki 😲😲😲

[@darryuozdark7149]

KI still alive btw still way better compare with Sfv

[@symeoncarter8144]

Darryuoz Dark haha

[@PostingIsMyThingYo]

KI and Street Fighter are literally near equal in views.

[@symeoncarter8144]

PostingIsMyThingYo your high af lmao

[@Sanityy2G]

symeon carter ignorant af

[@feardrinker]

Is Aganos as OP as he looks here?

[@XTWDeadShot]

He's not easy to pick up but he's a pretty strong character. Only 4 characters beat him cleanly.

[@ninja911again]

TRY PLAstic Surgery advance modern modern furusitic men n girls new era of humans in this world n new talent of 2019

[@franciscojavierrivascecili8485]

Menuda porquería de juego... el killer instinct auntentico es el de supernintendo, como pasa con casi todos, todo lo moderno, 4hd en fin...etc etc ext....porquería autentica

[@llamadasinrespuesta4631]

Calla boomer, vete a hacerte una paja con Shigeru.

[@names_are.uselessyt7908]

Ki &ki2 were so much better than this.

[@lucadelprete6922]

Hanno rovinato un mito di gioco 👎

[@ajadzi]

This has to be one of the worst audio mixes I've heard.

[@theemunroe2307]

I don't see how they can play anymore. This game is all kinds of bullshit.

[@walterflanagan9674]

Darryuoz Dark He's probably a spamming piece of shit on injustice 2 don't pay him no mind.

[@xAUSTIN316x]

gay

[@oruffryder]

Wtf is going on in this game? Give me MKX where things make sense!!!

[@Hyperperion]

This game more often than not represents well how a fight between creatures with superpowers would play out.. MKX on the other hand has a bunch of no sense stuff; NJP bouncing opponent like a ball (!) and juggles where hitting someone's toes somehow keeps 'em flailing in the air.. just saying

[@Filipico_w3]
