Killer Instinct arcade - Chief Thunder 60FPS Gameplay Playthrough

[@amsamuel]

Man i remember being a teen in the mid 90's and going to the arcade, and seeing everyone crowded at a game thinking what's going on. And when i seen KI for the 1st time I said DAMN! This game was so ahead of its time with the graphics, sound and the combos. I loved Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter, but KI was something special. Nothing like those "Fight On" and "Supreme Victory" scenes. Plus the zooming and scaling on boards like Orchid's and Cinder's is just amazing. DOWN SOUTH!!!

[@ashbyashby2616]

Thunders gotta be one of the coolest character designs in fighting game history!

[@big973e]

ehhh, he was a boring, generic stereotype and his move set was flawed because of how susceptible they were to combo breakers and how vulnerable you were left to attacks even if you connected

[@splby]

@@big973e idk light up mohawk is pretty damn rad ad plus those dancing knees to the gut are pretty cool looking.

[@AC-LING666]

Thunder is awesome his design/story/ fighting sounds. its just too bad he's by far the worst character in KI1 the arcade version for competitive play. Snes version he is much much better

I have fond memories of playing the SNES version growing up and looking at this, that version was a shockingly faithful port considering the difference in hardware power. Never seen the arcade version before, this is actually pretty nice looking for something so old too.

[@Idrathernot.]

I remember being able to do 80 hit ultras with most characters, I haven't seen that being done on KZbin yet. I wonder why?? There were a lot of tricks that you could do after stopping an ULTRA.
