If you're over a certain age and a gamer you've definitely said "C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!" at least once.

LOL Oh yes, my girlfriend at the time got really sick of it

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

Still my favorite fighting game of all time. My dad used to take me and my bro to play it at the arcade and he always said, when this comes to Super Nintendo i’m getting it for sure. Well, one day we came home from school and my mom brought us to the basement to see my dad playing killer instinct on Nintendo and we went nuts. We played it all the time

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

That is so cool. I love hearing about families bonding over games. Assuring

If you have an Xbox One or a Series X/S console it's available with The premium version of Killer instinct comes with the OG arcade version.

[@shadowrunner3k94]

Seeing this game in the arcade as a child was amazing....You will never get that vibe again... Also, Orchid was a certified Baddie!

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I agree 100%….On both counts

[@thehound1359]

Absolutely. I’ll never forget seeing some of those games like x-men children of the atom, mortal kombat 1 & 2 and killer instinct for the first time.

[@ObscureSampology]

Sorry to Disappoint, but there is Grass on that "Playground"! :_(

[@zacharypisut764]

Yeah, because none of us will ever be a child again. Much of nostalgia has little to do with what is actually being remembered and who we were at the time we are remembering what was happening.

[@Riosokkablackwolf]

Killer instinct is one of my favorite fighting games! Orchid, Combo, and Sabrewulf were my favorite characters.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I like playing a TJ combo as well. Honestly, there were a lot of good characters To play as

Same here BUT Orchid hereself was NOT played by a female actress they actually hired a MAN to play the role in the first game at least.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

@@veghesther3204 Yes Like I said, Kevin Bayless did the majority of the motion capture even attempting to wear high heels and walked like a woman.Since that wasn't convincing enough they did end up using a woman for the cut scenes for orchid

Killer Instincts was a banger on Super Nintendo

[@jc7574]

Can’t believe it’s been almost 30 years since this was released. Arcade goers like myself were blown away when this dropped. The graphics, the gameplay and the SOUND. This game literally SHOOK the arcade floor with its Hollywood quality soundtrack, bass heavy hits and insane callouts. This game always drew a crowd. Great video and wonderful synopsis as usual, Pat!

[@mak23997]

The sound for this game was amazing. It was booming in every arcade. The music and the announcer were on point. This and Robocop had the best attract mode.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Oh yes, I couldn't agree more. Robocop did have a cool attract scene as well

[@edaniels240]

Eyedol's ending spoofing Blanka's will always be hilarious

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

LOL yes I shoould have mentioned that

[@mattb9664]

The on the fly audio eq'ing, although just for certain high pitched sounds and voice announcements to get the attention of everyone in the arcade was so clever and ahead of its time. This came way before games started having variable sound effects for punches and gunshots and menu sounds. Now the sound effects and music are taken for granted for the most part.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

I couldn't agree more

This was a great Arcade game back in the day. I remember this being at our local arcade back in the 90's. I really feel bad for the kids of today who never grew up in those arcades of yesterday. I am so glad I grew up in 80's and 90's era.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Yes, I tried to explain to my kids how cool they were. They got an idea of it when I took them to galloping ghost

[@Unquestionable]

Back during those early days of fighting games (hard to imagine there was a time the genre was new) this was one of my favorites. I got the Gameboy version as a gift and was amazed at how much it captured compared to the arcade and SNES originals. Very recently picked up an Xbox One and the reboot was an immediate purchase.

[@VinniePaz]

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks buddy

[@xethnyrrow]

Great video Pat! My friends and I first saw this in an arcade room at a D&D con. The graphics at the time were so mind blowing it was like peaking in to the future. Really cool of you to show all the finishers BTW! Also I'm glad you talked about the voice acting, in particular the overly amped up announcer who I felt was a huge draw.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks so much. I thought it would be nice to have the finishers included because a lot of people had not seen them. I also wanted to showcase the voice acting as well thanks

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks for watching

[@davideselvi3906]

I remember having the first installment on the SNES when I was a kid! Certain sound effects and music (especially the music of the end of match) actually scared the hell outta me! The same should be said for the visual effects when the losing character gets knocked out from the top of a building and it lands on the ground hearing that scary final piece of music! When Big Patman's in the house....... You KNOW it's gonna be a SUPREME VICTORY!!!! PERFECT!!! 👍😁

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

LOL, that's fantastic. Thanks

[@Sauceyjames]

There's something about the character select screen and music that was just scary. Even when you were putting in your high score. I remember Riptor and Sabrewulf being scary on their win screens. It's kinda wild all the blood Sabrewulf had in a Nintendo game.

[@nicocucsi]

Yes please, a part 2! Great video

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Thanks a ton

[@chrislaustin]

While I never got as good at Killer Instinct as I did with Street Fighter 2, it was the only other fighting game I spent any meaningful time with. Back when I was living in Los Angeles I was lucky enough to get to play a test machine for KI in Westwood, at an arcade near the UCLA campus. It was cool, as you had so many fighting game guys known in the community coming through to see the latest and greatest. The internet was barely a thing back then, but a few guys showed up from time to time with finishers and such, but since it was a test machine, things changed pretty regularly. Sadly, this was probably the last arcade game I actually spent time playing at a real arcade, as that culture was coming to a close by this time.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

You know, I never got is good at killer instinct as I was at Mortal Kombat and especially not street fighter. I still had fun playing it though. So like you were in a pretty cool spot as far as arcades go

[@davidt3563]

This game came out right when I joined the Air Force. There was an arcade machine at the base exchange and we all played the hell out of the SNES version in the day room.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

How cool is that? I hope it was on free play

[@chrisprescott2273]

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries unfortunately it wasn't on free play

[@MTonik]

I played the hell out of the GameBoy version back in the mid to late 90s. It was a surprisingly good port - given the hardware limitations and all. Although, looking at it now I am surprised how much of the “graphics” I actually “rendered” in my head back then based on the basic shapes on the gameboy screen. Thank you for bringing back my child memories!!!

[@MrOchrisius]

I lived in arcades at that time and played a ton of MK and KI. And NEVER have I ever seen a finisher/fatality/ultimate ever done in KI in any arcade so much no one even knew they existed. It wasn’t until a few years back when the updated version came out that I even saw them on KZbin.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Wow,, that's crazy

[@steelcurtain187]

Incredible job. This was such a groundbreaking and memorable title. I feel like it has aged rather well too

I played the ever loving HELL out of Killer Instinct back in the day. Perfect for an edgelord like me back then. A robot with Wolverine-esque claws? A werewolf? (later with cybernetic arms!). Super hot ass kicking female? Check, check, and check. My friends refused to play me at it because I would get them in those huge combos and they'd never be able to do a combo breaker. Great video, Patman. As always!

Killer Instinct is one of my all-time favorite video games. I can still vividly remember the first time I saw it in the arcades - the stunning graphics, incredible music, and groundbreaking combos absolutely blew me away. I truly believe that Killer Instinct was a pioneer in introducing combos to fighting games. I even still have the soundtrack from the SNES version of the game.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

Fantastic, it truly was jaw-dropping when he saw for the first time

[@erneststackhouse1133]

Still have my copy for the Super Nintendo! Forgot about this game & had to play it after watching this video! Thanks for that! Also, i remember playing this in the Arcades in the 90s. The cabinet attracted me as it reminded me of Jason & the Argonauts! Now to find out Spinal was influenced by this movie is awesome! Also a big fan of werewolves, so i was Sabrewulf as well. i love your videos with you: Patman playing the actual arcade game! That is so Rad to see!

Man, two videos of my favorite fighters released in a row! Cinder had even more names. Announcer sound files were found in the game for “Pyrotech” and “Headshade”. I’ve also seen early footage showing his name as “Meltdown”. This game imprinted on me as a kid. I remember the first time I put a quarter in it. It was 8am at my local 24 hour arcade. I showed up still half asleep to beat the crowds and play MK2. I instead spotted this new machine with a huge skeleton on it. I had to try it. I jumped from the extremely loud “Killer Instinct” from the announcer. It looked futuristic. I was 11 at its release but honestly and foolishly thought I was seeing something from the future. It looked years ahead of any game in the arcade. I went on to run a Killer Instinct fan site & forum for 16 years. I’m so happy to have this machine in my collection. It’s truly a dream come true for me. I’ve played it consistently since it released and I’m still learning new combos to this day. I still marvel at the technology and coding. Thanks for the video Patman!

There's a good likelihood that Rare themselves decided to keep the finishing moves on the tame side to make sure KI got a Teen 13+ rating when it released for the upcoming "Ultra 64". More kids could buy it. Plus, it mighta been hard to make a bunch of CGI character models with severed heads and limbs, etc, to digitize into sprites. Easier to chop and edit photo-based sprites like in MK.

[@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries]

That could be. Although they had no problem with Mortal Kombat 2 violent finishers so who knows.

A game of many firsts - first fighting game to not have throws, first fighting game you can cancel special moves. First game to have rendered 3D backgrounds. First game to have secret stages (sky/dungeon) Also, BEST music in a fighting game. EVER.

I remember getting a SNES for Christmas (was already "retro" then but still on the market - prolly 1996 or 1997). It was still the Purple Brick. KI was the pack-in, and it had the soundtrack CD.

I would like to know more of the development of KI2 behind the scenes
