RATE THE ULTRAS - Killer Instinct 2013-2017

[@UltimaShadowX]

Killer Instinct 2013 having music that goes with the finishers elevates them to god tier status alone.

[@phsquared1000]

Always nice to see Ultima, named after the ultimate life form Shadow, in the comments of Max’s video.

[@TenryuKensuke]

Kilgore is Fulgore's superior isn't?

[@Jormyyy]

Kan Ra's is my personal favorite, it's honestly impossible to pick a truly *best* one though, as all 3 seasons have phenomenal music.

[@samquik]

Everyone knows Mick slayed it with the first two seasons, but Celldweller & Atlas Plug's best ones are Kim Wu and Arbiter EDIT: man, Eyedol's is really good too

[@davanime877]

I love how the background from the stages starts going insane and goes into chaos when you do an Ultra Combo

[@CrazyPantsus]

The glacius one was LITERALLY the first time I ever saw an ultra, KI 2013 was my introduction to playing fighting games and not just simply mash buttons, and OH BOI it definitely cought me off guard. The way he pushes you away and then pull you again with his icecle thing it just blew my mind for me still is a 10/10...

[@BROXBasher]

Glacius is still one of my most favorites.

I miss playing this game. Watching Max play when this came out made me want to learn fighting games. I had the pleasure of playing Max with my TJ Combo when he did a week of Omen.

KI ‘13 did such a good job at making every hit feel so impactful, ESPECIALLY when you play as someone like Aganos or TJ I hope to see a new game soon, hearing the announcer screaming “UUUULLLTTRAAAAAAAAAAAA” at the end too is just a cherry on top of it all I miss KI, bring it back again pls

[@Zangetsu114]

I never notice that Kim Wu's stage has a reference to Big Trouble in Little China with the Semi Truck lol.

[@shadow40k0]

this is the game that took ultras and turnt them into musical numbers

[@kookiemonster20051]

Never played killer instinct but seems like an epic game

[@logantaylor1834]

It is. Max has praised it a ton over the years

[@yoyoguy1st]

I’ve played a lot of fighting games and KI 2013 has consistently remained one of my favorites

[@TheRainbowthunder]

I am cock at fighting game and this has become the one and only fighting game I’ve falling in love with. Such a great learning system and man is it hype

[@TheMarioMan247]

If you wait for it on steam sale, you can get it for 10 bucks. But the xb1 ultimate edition has KI1 and 2 included with online play

[@GoldenHue]

Holy shit what prefect timing. I just picked up KI because of the sale, and watched the whole Twitch Rivals tournament, and JUST NOW you upload this. Simply suprb

[@i8dacookies890]

TJ's is the best in the game, the constantly rising part is so funny and after the last hit it still does an awesome musical flourish. Both those things make it incredibly unique too.

[@MlitosAdventures]

All these years of me watching KI but having the disadvantage of never owning the game...I never realized each character on their stage has the own rhythm music wise when doing their Ultra had a special type of sauce to it!!! This is an amazing game in very own way! Killer Instinct should never die

[@slipknotron1626]

You missed Spinal (goes after Orchid) 👍

[@Paraguai123]

This list sucks goddamm

[@CryoJnik]

I don't know whether it's the fact that they're all timed to the rhythm or the Announcer is going Nuts but man these ultras are HYPE!

[@houstong7103]

I will never forget the time when Maximilian was Miles923, KI was showcasing their game at E3. When A video was showing Thunder vs Glacius (i think) at Thunder's stage, when Thunder was about to start his ultra, every time he hits, it makes a rhythm beat. And when its over, at the right moment, at the right time, the announcer screamed 'ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' THAT BLEW ME AWAY! Knowing that KI has improved and returned! Love that video man! :.)

[@trevorghalt1881]

my God, most of the Ultras are nines and tens which are fantastic and the music is great🔥

[@Nougatbars]

These legitimately made me hype just to watch! So good!

[@Xboxcampking334]

I will always love hearing ULTRA

[@ArcienPlaysGames]

It's just the fact that Spinal's head follows his opponent during that last ultra-cancel hit. Such a great detail.

[@RedBoi88]

Fulgore's is my favorite solely because of it's use in Super Mario Bros Z

[@Hagosha]

Man, i'll never forget my friend getting me into KI back in like 2014. We played together ALL THE TIME for a good year or so. I'll never forget the first time i pulled off Glacius' Ultra first vs my friend and then vs another player online! KI was my favorite fighting game and i have had a hard time capturing the ease/fulfillment ratio that game gave me.

[@keithvaskelionis7861]

Kim Wu gets a 10/10 just for the Jack Burton reference in her background

[@jacksquirtin5196]

Kim Wu is nice but Lo Pan would tear that ass up!

Been waiting for this for years💀

[@fedoraking3611]

15:53 This sounds alot like the Crazy Frog remix of We are the champions. At least the first few seconds.

[@mas8705]

Aganos definitely was such a unique character. It was one thing to make a giant “FU” character that seemingly changes how to fight your opponent, but everything about his kit was just so wonderful. That and the ultra was great too right down to the elbow drop.

[@realmjumper8154]

“I really like how ultras used to go super fast” *Gives Jago’s a 7*

[@larrytod9790]

I never noticed the music playing During the ultras it makes ultras more hype

[@Drunkle2552]

I just noticed that in Kim wu's stage the bike before it gets hit by the truck it immediately turns at the screen like looking at you and saying "OH NOO".

[@corethunder3487]

I couldn't tell you what was going on with eyedol because of what was going on in the background

[@chriscurry9201]

They're all 10 out of 10 to me but Aganos is def my favorite with that 3rd push against that boulder he flicks you with his finger then finish goes to the top rope with the damnnedest elbow drop *In Jim Ross's Voice*

[@TCPolecat]

Hey Max? You need to check out the most recent KOF trailer covering the first 2 DLCs fighter groups after launch. Each one has someone you wanted in the game. I won't ruin the surprise.

[@LemoNanora]

[@jadegreenknight6700]

Mira's ultra music reminds me of the same beat of the butt ugly martians opening. Go watch the intro to butt ugly martians and re listen to Mira's Ultra

[@KeybladeMaster87]

Rash is a 10 just because he hits to the rhythm of the battletoads pause theme.

[@Hedoro_Kaibyo]

Honestly I don't think anything is more hype to me than when the announcer just yells ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA at the end of these.

[@pd0di]

Rash’s ultra is the music from the original games pause music. Thats a plus point

[@xDaTrooper70x]

There’s always gonna be a place for KI 1 & 2, but there’s no denying the musical ultras elevate this game to another level

[@dosgopaz]

agreed

[@sammcguire3798]

Kan Ra might not have the best Ultra, but damn is his stage my favorite to hear Ultra Combos on. Those orchestra hits really do it for me.

[@jacobw606]

Not as good as the Shadow Tiger's Lair. Those guitars are EPIC!!

[@apollorock3r244]

15:03 How is that a 6? I just love that Rash’s Ultra Combo basically follows the beat of the pause menu from Battletoads. That alone is worth a 10. XD

[@ForeverMatuk]

Max, you know you could actually super speed and slow mo ultra combos in KI2, there were specific commands to pull it off as a sort of flashy pop off, especially for normal combos too. It's pretty brutal hitting a 5th ender combo in super slo mo lol

[@DerrickJLarson]

Kim Wu's stage has got to be a "Big Trouble in Little China" reference with the truck.

[@xpraiden5236]

Shagos slaps dude! He sets himself apart with that villainous first half before reminding you that he is Jagos other half by completing it! Its sick!!!

[@douglasmijangos3327]

Killer Instinct already did that wit the control of the speed on the ultra.. if you hold the button down instead of pushing it at the end .. for example if you hold High Punch and release it will speed up the ultra and if you perform a different movement on the Joystick it will slow the ultra down .. example instead of Back Forward you can do a Forward Back Forward it will slow down the ultra ..

[@DJHYDEHEART]

Man, the developers really made ya'll WAIT for the entire roster huh.

[@Ragecr1tter]

For me, the 10/10’s are thunder(cause freaking lighting!!) Sabrewulf(both cause he’s one of my mains and it fits his savagery), aganos(he’s so massive he flicks you at one point) and tusk(a beat down with a massive sword).

[@lilwyvern4]

Regarding the speed of KI3's ultras, I think a good compromise would be for KI4 to have a "custom ultra" finisher. It would have the same requirements and payoff of a regular ultra, but it basically activates a V-ism style custom combo. That way you can get the mad style if you're good enough, at the risk of making you look foolish if you drop it.

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

This video needs an ultra like

[@lilboosie5]

Most ultras sound epic on Forgotten Grotto. (Aganos Stage). Especially Cinder

[@TheShijr33]

Factssssss lol

[@takethebluepillnottheredpi584]

Max...Rock Howard and Geese trailer is out. DLC pack 👌🏿 I'm sure he want see this till they notify him on his Twitter.

[@fojisan2398]

For me, Cinder's was an easy 10. The rhythm alone makes it.

[@SBandy]

The sound design in this game is outstanding.

[@Kruppuchino]

Spinal ultra ending with him out of the ground is the sickest thing in any video game

[@masterofchaos7282]

Anyone else want Max to rate the supers of games he wouldn’t normally play, just to see him have to play? Obviously this would just be for a one off thing like the central fiction videos but it’d still be fun. Me personally I’d like to see a rate the super on arcana heart 3 since there’s like 70 supers that could work and I can see Max having some funny commentary with the game. Can’t wait to see your opinions, it’s always fun to read them.

[@Logic1611]

@Maximilian Dood when are you going to review the new arcade 1up killer instinct machine?

[@SchadoVA]

i would give the siblings 10/10 on the grounds that jagos is simple but it sounds good on all. orchid as well and also the fact she does her win animation from the first game.

[@simondiamond9628]

Tusk and TJ deserve 10's. TJ's is an updated version of KI1, which is already pretty dece. But unlike KI1, this is updated to include more aspects of his renovated move set, which is a bit more closely bound to what could actually happen with real-world physics (notwithstanding the fact that any normal person could not normally punch someone 20 to 30 feet in the air to begin with). Tusk goes full-on Conan, which by itself is a 9, but the added sword slams and juggling push it over the top for me.

[@star-fy678]

We need more games that scream "UUULLTTTRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!". Really makes you feel something visceral.
