Chris Molyneaux KILLER, INSTICTHHHHH....

[@gamingaholic]

+Chris Molyneaux This is one of those things you can't help but read in the original narrator's voice. And that dude made everything sound incredible.

[@gamingaholic]

Liam Anderson Some gas company or something had copyrighted the word Ultra and they could not use it in Japan or Europe (can remember which). They decided to have only one name for the system so they used the Nintendo 64 name everywhere. They did not want to have the same case of the senes where it was the super famicom in some places and the super nintendo in US.

[@davidespinozaortiz3956]

Those were the days, fella

[@xzize98]

Liam Anderson That's because it was the code name for the console, it was like the Dolphin, Revolution, Project Cafe and NX, all of these were code names for GameCube, Wii, Wii u and Nintendo Switch respectively

[@christopherjordan6235]

Killer Instinct vs. Mortal Kombat needs to happen now!!!!

[@JVLY]

Compared to Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat runs at a snails pace. A collab would be...odd.

[@gwapaulo]

+Christopher Jordan get mugen!

[@tali6844]

+Jaziel Rivera they have special moves and they have combos, or they could make it in this engine and be the fastest mortal kombat this far

[@JVLY]

Talibanana You have a point. If it was more KI than MK, it would be a day one buy.

[@TyranntX]

Agreed, even though KI characters are significantly stronger than MK it's still a good idea

[@natwood6755]

That killer instinct theme never gets old

[@notapatientperson]

Great for gym workouts

[@panesar94p]

Agree

[@armorwolf7934]

Ya I want a whole gym room with loudspeakers and have this music with no fan on so more sweat 👍🏼

[@KJ-og1cc]

I agree but I had to stop listening to it cuz I got kick out too much for screaming “ULTRA COMBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”

[@julianleyva1506]

2024 and I’m still pumping to this Sht

[@ghostywun8844]

The nostalgic feels is strong with this one... Remember the BLACK SNES cart? i remember being young and showing off the game to my peers because it was black and felt cool because of it.....Ahh good times...good times indeed.

[@electricworld3429]

just wish i could be younger

[@Terrythetroll.]

Still have it somewhere

[@Noobsaibot21]

That and showing off the Killer Cuts CD in this new CD player thingy I got for Christmas. Remember it like it was yesterday

[@Igorsov]

Nothing beats the original!

[@fucker661]

Ash Ketchum what it has is shitty techno

[@fedekun79]

Original KI was as mind blowing as MK1 when it first launched.

[@محاربالصحراء-خ3ذ]

The second one is better

[@arahok7675]

the original is original, is the base song, is normal to be more complete and everything else, the others are variations, can be better by the instrumental quality but not in general

[@tasmaniaaaa]

​@@fedekun79even more to me. i remmeber perfectly both thing and KI was another dimension quality level sound and graphic!!!!

[@vabyssavenger]

Killer Instinct 1 is the best theme.

[@trevonlynum1037]

hell yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they should have kept the 1st theme for ki 2013

1994 *CO-CO-CO-COMBO BREAKER!!!*

[@Ai-fj1dc]

ULTRAAAAAAAAAA COMBOOOOOOO !!!

[@robbiep.5497]

Nostalgia....I used to hear the original theme and run into my older brothers room to watch him play it. Imagine how annoying it was to have your two year old sister run in your room every time you put certain games on. I did that shit whenever he played KI, MM Power Rangers and Super Mario World lmao

[@redemptionofthebeast50]

Robann Parsons You are very pretty.. 🌹🌹🌹

[@cloudstrife6911]

Thirsty ah boi

[@RIGaming7110]

Lmao, I thought I was the only one who barged into my siblings rooms to watch then play...

[@DetectiveNyx]

And thus the Killer Instinct fanbase turned into the Sonic fanbase 2.0. "WAAH WE WANT NEW KI!" *New KI on Xbox One* "WAAH WHAT'S THIS PIECE OF SHIT WE WANT OLD KI!" Seriously...if you don't want your Xbox One and Killer Instinct remake, send it to me.

[@sean42785]

or just get the $40 pack that has the old school KI on it......i forgot how bad i was at it lol

[@DetectiveNyx]

$40 pack? On Xbox 360 or do I need to somehow on a very tight budget need to cough up enough money to get an Xbox One?

[@sean42785]

xbox one sadly

[@DetectiveNyx]

Ah bugger. Looks like I'll need to ask for a Nintendo 64. - . -

[@Blandrew]

Hmmm. I dunno. The Sonic fanbase is pretty bad. They're pretty hard to top. The sonic fanbase will find anything to complain about. Why are his eyes green?" Why isn't (insert most recent sonic game) not sonic adventure 3? Why isn't Sonic 2D? Why is he so slow in Sonic 4? Why is he so fast in Sonic Generations? Why does he have one huge eyeball and two pupils? Im tired of multiple playable characters, just let me be sonic. Where are the other characters, I want more playable characters! There's just no pleasing them.

[@FGAlele]

They ALL sound Pretty DAMN Amazing.

[@TrueRinku95]

The first sounds like "The start of something incredile" The second sounds like "Here we are again, more fight, more KILLER INSTINCT!" The third sounds like "After all this time, here we are, WE RETURNED FROM THE DEAD"

[@liamanderson7082]

Yep. Killer Instinct 3 said, "17 YEARS of our absence?! That's IT! I'VE HAD IT!!!!!!" *KI3 stocks shelves, and 5 minutes later, like, 82% of that shelf are inside XBONE's all around* "All right, just set some Season DLC, and we have a good revival."

[@shotgundam0098]

I've been a gamer all my life but killer instinct was one of those games that slipped passed me until 2013, but for some reason I liked the first theme so much that it kinda brings a tear to my eye ;)

[@PapaCatto]

Me too ;_:

[@gildrop]

The original always wins when it comes to KI. Just, hell yes.

[@yummytapeworms445]

I grew up with KI 2 Gold, but i still agree

[@DocWolph]

1st. The dawn of a chaotic morning. Combo Breakfast! 2nd: High Noon Fistcuffs. Long chain Lunch Combo! 3rd: I have waited so long and finally... ULTRAAAAAA DINNER!!!!

[@RIGaming7110]

Someone's hungry...

[@peteralick]

Killer Instinct (1994) Theme > Killer Instinct Theme (2013)

[@NicolasSilvaVasault]

is called nostalgia some will say, but telling the truth, the 2013 theme is a shit, is sloppy and bad remixed

[@Pulsed101]

+Peter Alick (Hyrulyamoto) Very true but the 2013 character themes are epic though.

[@WarpWorld7]

+Peter Alick (Hyrulyamoto) Both versions need more dubstep.

[@supernovamcr5974]

I LOVE them all, but fuck me the XBox One KI theme blew my fucking mind.

[@SenatorArmstrong2018]

Nicolas Silva Said no one ever.

[@MrPatoHerrera12]

Wow! This video brings to me a lot of likes Just 'cause IS KILLER INSTINCT!!! The BEST return in 2013 :'(

[@Original_Katros]

It is the best return, too bad i can't play it tough T_T

[@infiernogb]

GT M two of us :(

[@Original_Katros]

Cesh At least it looks good.

[@Original_Katros]

Cesh You are right. But I have seen gameplays and I think it's cool. However I also think it seems hard to play. Like mortal kombat looks great too and is hard to play.

[@OneAngrehCat]

It returned, and it returned better than ever.

[@AshTheMohican]

First theme is just chills down my fucking Spinal. Can't argue with boyhood.

[@consumerjtc5835]

Theres a skeleton inside you? Sp00ky

[@IBroLLyISePhIrOtH]

1st:killer instinct 1 theme 2nd:killer instinct 3(xbox one) 3rd: killer instinct 2(GOLD)

[@GODofLords2]

The 2013 is much more BADASSS and agressive !! But the Original one still the best for me, kids nowaday won't understand the power of that tone.

[@NathansRecordings]

Kids nowadays don't understand a room's walls vibrating to the amazing sound of a real 2.1 stereo system. back in the days of 6 foot loudspeakers, and the full fury of a beautiful mix, pounding out beautiful dynamic range. those days are gone, and it blows.

[@liamanderson7082]

@@NathansRecordings Because we're too busy enjoying headphones that can replicate the effect, and more.

[@stickygeiden]

@@liamanderson7082 that can replicate yep, but it has nothing to do with the impact of an old system full of bass, that reverb on all an arcade room. It's just totally different, more breathtaking.

[@RIDDICK0911]

@@NathansRecordings good music is good music, no matter how you listen to it. You weren't cool acting like a spoiled brat back in the day and you're not cool acting like a superior being now. Grow the fuck up.

1994.... ALWAYS AND FOREVER OG 🔥👍

[@chriswilson9331]

I still remember the first time I heard this music from across the arcade hall, I was like @_@ what is that?! I ran over and saw Killer Instinct and fell in love, been playing ever since , 1994 represent!

[@carnicero27]

the original first song will be always the best!

[@leo20brs87]

1994 l love song 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤

[@instinctplay494]

*Nostalgia total*

[@iKiwed]

So i'm the only one who like so much the new theme from Killer Instinct 3. It's so...Over Power. And the game is not bad at all. But it's just my opinion.

[@hellvsheaven89]

Cant believe its been 24 years since the first 1 came out. I was only 3 that time. Killer instinct, street fighter, and and donkey kong will always be my favorite of all time. My childhood games.

[@brycetheobald931]

who remembers going too the arcade area at the mall and just starting this up and listening too it over and over again. I jammed out as a kid people thought I was crazy for head banging too this lmao.

[@EternumTagerMain]

So happy that I got to know this franchise back in 2013. Thank you my brother.

[@xerxesprimordialooze2838]

I can remember putting my charter down on the Arcade; waiting for my chance in line to play KI1, way back in my junior year of high-school. Yes, I am old, and I am willing to be more than one person hear remembers the chill of the music, the chill of the arcade air-conditioning and how truly epic that 1994 opening music was.....I miss that the N64 did not get called the Ultra 64; and that we had to miss KI 1on that console. KI 2 really never caught my fancy like part 1 did. The nostalgia will never die in me. :)

[@LazerMage77]

You and me both. We're old now, compadre.

[@Fuzunga]

Dude, the editing between the themes for the first and second game is so well done I didn't even notice it until the song name changed! Excellent work!

[@eirikmagnuslarssen4242]

Wow. This brings back many memories from the mid-90s. I'm liking this 2013 version of the theme.

[@Dragonzzilla]

This is evolution at its finest.

[@steveedmondson9651]

KI gold and MK4 on 64 were the best fighting games. Gold took the cake though. I never could figure out MK4

[@PouresMaggie]

Killer Instinct's theme is etched into my mind and soul. I loved the music when I was a kid and I lost my shit when I listened to the music of 2013's KI. It almost brought a tear to my eye. Hours of having my ass kicked by my brother in this game followed by epic music. Now, many years later, I hope the tables will turn followed by even more epic music. Also (FUCK YEA) they kept the voice of the announcer (w/e that guy's supposed to be). I loved his voice!! GO KI!!!!

[@anirishway]

Had this cd with all the song blew my mind as a kid.

[@ShadowHound49]

Man, I listened to this about 4 times, and I still have a hard time believing that the second theme is even there. It blends so well with the first.

[@marioandsonic4]

This is why I joined Team Instinct

[@AjiruChanWorld]

I have the same reason! xD

[@josephfrye7342]

you did it you complete the actual killer instict trilogy theme packages. :'-) im so proud of you.

[@josephfrye7342]

its time to go killer ultimate for all the ports everybody with thier handhelds and home devices are ready.

[@karlwilburn5415]

1st theme will always be the BEST!

[@JakeSanchez23]

I love that I still have KI Gold on my N64

[@bakoalex1468]

there is no doubt that killer 1994 is the best. master +masterpiece

[@Aero51100]

Killer Instinct on Snes was my favorite

[@Jay-ef2ii]

I wish I had the huge arcade game unit (of Killer Instinct) from the mall. This is a cool game.

[@gizmo2445]

Never have i loved a video game theme song more than this

[@derrickhaggard]

I loved playing this game when I was little. Best personal memory of this franchise was completing arcade mode in KI2/KI: Gold with my go-to main the Tiger Ninja himself Jago and the combo taking down Gargos was a 52 hit juggle Ultra Combo that had Jago's version of the Shoryuken as the starting move.

[@fredfredburger5150]

My buddy and I used to go for dozens of 1v1 rounds, he played as Jago, I played as Orchid...good times.

[@JustForReference]

I enjoy them all, I like how each kinda shows off their generations music style a bit.

[@halloween35242]

I love this music. They should have made a movie about this video game by now.

[@44kryth]

GODS! I remember playing this with friends on their SNES!!! Later found the arcade version at the mall. Even got into KI2! I still remember playing KI2 at the arcade. And kicking ass so bad someone offered a $50 bet. The best 2 out of 3 would win. The last fight and 2 hits Im dead. He had full second bar. I was using Orchid, cant remember his char. I pulled off my first 100 hit combo to win. We had drawn a crowd in the arcade for this fight. I leaned against the machine worn out. I had held my breathe the whole final battle...wow such memories of a great game...just hope KI3 wont disappoint!!

[@Hellkido223]

this video brings back memories for some ppl who played KI on Snes N64 and now Xbox one i love it xD

[@Banjosplatooie1990]

We need a Killer Instinct rep for Smash Now!!!

[@opusmagnus26]

That's depends: Who would it be?

[@christophermontano9280]

siempre me han encantado los Temas de Killer Instinct

[@scott2394]

I was an arcade junkie from 93 - 96. KI was entering the arcades when MK2 was slowly dying in popularity. There was a brief time when Primal Rage usurped MK2 as the crown of aracde fighters in 94. I still remember a dozen young adults standing around the KI machines. It was surreal. It came out of left field. Most arcade fighter games of the time were copies of Street Fighter. Primal Rage had its 15 mins of fame, but many do not remember those 15 mins for PR. But anyone who visited arcades in 94 remembers KI. When someone did an 'Ultra' combo, everyone around the machine cheered. Seeing players pull off anything more than a 6 hit combo was rare (no pun intended). And we always stayed away from the players who could consistently pull off combos on the meta characters. We knew we would lose our 50 cents quickly. If memory serves me, MK3 did well competing against KI. However, when MK3 was released, it was about the same time arcades, in general, were dying. Still, when we could find KI1 machines, many of us chose KI over MK3. By the time KI2 hit the arcades, MK3 was already on the PlayStation. MK3 Ultimate was the last "popular" MK for the arcades. And arcades were close to near death in terms of popularity by 96. In my area, when KI2 entered the arena, the crowds had died down, KI2 was "popular', but nowhere near as popular as KI1. KI1 may have been the last original popular fighter for that hobby.

[@EtherPump]

I have never played a KI game but the music is fucking awesome

[@TheKillerMime]

Honestly the only reason I would want an XBox One

[@emmanueltavares4823]

the first one is not the arcade, SNES, or Gameboy theme... It's the rendition that came with the SNES Killer Instinct on CD called, Killer Cuts. It's track 8 called, The Instinct. It's technically the theme, but it isn't.

only reason im buying one and after waiting .....what 15 years?.... im completely okay spending $540 for this masterpiece of my childhood and $200 for the epic fightstick. When the Xbone press conference was going on i was so heated at the bullshit. When i heard this music i seriously started fucking crying. So many memories playing this game with my dad, No price can be put on the sentimental value and nostalgia factor this game has.

[@infraredtoa9105]

one of the best themes OF ALL TIME

[@xlixity]

Love all these themes. Would play all weekend nights on the snes & n64. Gotta give props to the makers of the new theme as well. IMO it still carries the soul of the original KI, but with updated/modern guitar playing. The original & it's wailing guitar solo is timeless of course, but it's good to see Double Helix do a good job keeping the soul intact.
