[@Akusen_Arcade]

This fuckin game, still the most fun and hype to watch

[@NightSkywalker69]

Dang I cant believe i missed the KI segment. Its nice to see this community going strong.

[@whizthesugoi]

i was watching it live but phased out, then i watched the vod and phased out, now i will watch the edited vod and absorb this delicious gameplay

[@timlangeloh4679]

Best thing about seeing Combo Breaker my news feed is the feeding an anticipation of a Badd @$$ Killer Instinct tournament. TOs, thanks for delivering!

[@rachelburton7137]

What an AMAZING Top 8!! So many great matches.

[@Call555JackChop]

Best commentary duo I love how much Keits loves this game

[@calypso]

Nah soyjam sucks ass

[@Stinkyremy]

He is a dev right? Well a dev that helped do the AE update at least.

[@mawk2722]

@@Stinkyremy Yeah. Keits became the lead combat director after Iron Galaxy took over the game in Season 2 (the original devs got bought by Amazon). So he knows 1 or 2 things about the game lol.

[@JuicifersRevenge]

Keits has always had good taste in games and his events are always too notch. Sajam is an excellent commentator himself. Great sets here;!!

[@JP_LDN582]

best looking game out there. dam this game hype characters are amazing

[@mikezigma]

Wheels's meter finish was so sick dude!

[@NocolasLive]

Respect to wheels. My man reaches top 8 clowning on everyone with a disability but come to find out he does it while also missing a button

[@gasYotube]

A very high level, top 3 is an achievement of few players.

[@tuggman6433]

This game is what gets me excited for combo breaker!

[@dahuterschuter]

Can't believe I MISSED THIS LIVE GODDAMN I LOVE KI

Appreciate it man, thanks for enjoying the show

[@pedrorivera3724]

Keep KI Alive. Where’s Nicky / Bass !?

[@alexgs2593]

Bass fight this year, but lose in finals

[@Call555JackChop]

Haven’t seen Nicky in awhile he stopped streaming too

[@Chrizistired]

@@Call555JackChop he retired to live his life normally.

[@WookWook89]

How does killer instinct handle health and dmg I saw SO many games end with a magic pixel just hanging on. Hype top 8 though such a fun game to watch

[@StyryderX]

Every hit will deal permanent and potential damage (the part of HP turn transparent) like mvc3 except as there's no assist system, you'll eventually recover the potential damage if you haven't taken any damage in 3-5 second. To convert potential damage to permanent, you need to start a combo then land a finisher special. If there's potential health left after true HP is fully depleted, any subsequent hits will convert potential into true damage (or they can just land a finisher to instantly end the round/match).

[@Trankuilw]

Wolfslayer is wild man, each bullet counts

[@mikezigma]

it was early but that one clean ass assist shot on jump in was noice!

[@wolfslayerninja712]

Thank you bro

[@Thedarkside02]

What a final set! Kudos to both!

[@visceralvids]

What is that picture that keeps getting held up in the background by that guy in the crowd?

[@coquifrog]

I love sonic dolphin. I was cheering him on so hard. Great sets.

[@happyboombastic6368]

i feel like Sonic Dolphin lost on purpose just to play more KI

[@Aries_Cusp]

Sonic and Wolf Slayer! 🥰

[@finishihimTV]

Wait did they update the graphics?

[@OmegaEli002]

Yes

[@niemand7811]

Yeah they did. The game was formerly 45GB in size. Now it is at 86GB. Big visual update.

[@DRaGZ141]

Could not ask for a better commentary duo

[@nikoantrei1892]

Que gran torneo, muy buenas finales en sf6, tk8, ki, me quedó debiendo gbfantasy, me dormí en el nierVnier

[@urallnoobs8943]

Did Nicky not attend the tournament? I always love watching his Fulgore tear it up

[@danram4953]

Ki tag team tournament?? Tag combos and all?? The potential??

[@yngstunna101]

How does kim wu do that much damage

[@ThatPrettyBMF]

That SonicDolphin Glacius comeback!!! That was awesome!!!

[@michaelflatt4663]

How is there not a disable pause in local option?

[@Stinkyremy]

Because that is stupid. You need to pause the game some times too look at command list and quit. What it needs (and may have idk) is what most modern fighting games have, hold to pause so you dont accidentally hit pause. What happened here was his controller janked and hit dashboard not even pause. I seen in pools too a guys controller messed up twice, just wire janked and it cost him the match.

[@Legendary_Levite]

One thing truly special about this game is that every single character feels like a boss fight

[@Me_Grimlock_King]

man every single match was so hype. I love everything about KI but watching that stupid frog get beat up makes me so happy.

[@Zaprozhan]

Good balance, there's a wide variety of characters played.

[@DGISALWAYS]

I've been getting back into this thanks to mk1. I even got a fight stick. God, this game is awesome.

[@sebvz89]

I've been playing KI gold and recently bought KI for xbox. what a great game!

1:01:07 is my favorite moment, just such a hilarious beatdown

[@Little_Croissant]

3:29 What 🤯 I fucking love KI I wish they'd hold more tournaments

[@cooler1854]

Ok Curious though. Whst is newset version of Killer instinct ?

[@niemand7811]

Question is: What do you mean by that? You asked the same shit on DoA6 too. Are you a bot?

[@masteroftacos666]

2:39:28 lol he is definitly mad

[@thiagoramos5712]

O que gosto nesse jogo é que todos os bonecos são cheios de recursos, jogo muito bom, gosto muito de ver o pessoal jogando com o Glacius, meu boneco favorito desde os clássicos

[@danielslash2389]

sou seu fã wheels, joga muito

[@luisamigomex]

And where are Nicky and Bass?

[@lameemo]

Crow-bearing hips is a WILD thing to say but holy shit what a final

[@jonwhite549]

yep, Killer instinct still fun to watch & play.

[@crazzyman-nf6tx]

Where was Nicky fgc was he not there?

[@uninadaptado9558]

Killer instinc best fighting game ever by far

[@kirby8205]

Ultraaaaa Comboooooo!!!

[@nsmilitia]

If they made this cross platforms they would have such a good following. Just why devs? Don’t sell out to Microsoft

[@yngstunna101]

Microsoft bought them a long long time ago.

[@XTWDeadShot]

Microsoft owns the IP lol

[@EvilPineappl]

Halo and Gears of War. This isn't a sell out this IS a Microsoft game. Also there is cross platform with PC which is what matters most.

[@FernandoCuadro]

my god i saw the whole combo breaker in a afternoon, so much hype! Also everybody says kim wu is the weakest, and sonic dolphin making 70% combos damn! Microsdot let IRON GALAXY make another KI please!!!!

[@David19895]

Xbox needs to just hire I.G to keep making killer instinct games. I want a new one every 3 to 4 years

[@rogermocuta9700]

Hey devs I need this on ps5 please please please please please 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❣️

[@TGMShoNuff]

Im a Sony head but not happening. M$ owns the devs that created Kille--wait......they no longer do. Anything goes!! :O

[@rogermocuta9700]

@@TGMShoNuff so a chance???

[@DevilBatKick]

No chance. Microsoft might not own the devs but they own the IP. Plus the cameo characters being from Halo, Gears of War, and Battletoads all of which are once again, owned by Microsoft.

Fully respect for wheels

[@mikezigma]

oh man, I love seein rash lose lol.

[@MrUnsign]

No one uses arcade sticks in this game?

[@Iamaxelhuerta]

I was wondering the same thing, I play it on stick

[@niemand7811]

Also most people play DoA with controllers. I appreciate the ditching of mostly bulky and weird arcade sticks for one reason; they most likely never resemble an actual arcade layout but are custom made comfy shit. Maybe these tournaments should rule them out.

[@adamreid5143]

I hate it when folks call TUSK, Thalis

[@thebestgamers3]

this game still competing with more modern games as usual

[@DaveSpen]

It's all fun and games until the tiny Asian comes out.

Killer instinct has to be on PS5. Xbox please do not kill the next KI with exclusivity

[@MagumoKawasaki]

Literally giving less reasons for people to buy an xbox dude.

[@OmegaEli002]

The era of exclusivity is ending

[@MagumoKawasaki]

@@OmegaEli002 Having less competitors is a bad thing. I am not going to go on a long rant about why, cause people will dismiss it is console war BS.

[@EvilPineappl]

It's on PC, it's got cross play. You are Locking yourself Out of so many games by being exclusive to PS

[@Stinkyremy]

@@MagumoKawasaki I understand why. Monopoly. Simple as. Competition is good. Sony not having competition has already made them complacent and we haven't even had any PS exclusives this year at all and only a handful exclusive to PS5 at all.

[@michaelcollazo7911]

Zoning always wins games, kilgore and fulgore just spamming projectiles. how was anyone excited for this? sad seeing non projectile chars struggle so bad.

[@niemand7811]

We need projectile spamming characters to get to zoning spamming characters. It is fair.

[@NinjaLawnGuy]

This game is just too much random chaos to be fair

[@Stinkyremy]

Not all fighting games need to be fair, they just need to be fun. Remember only a small % of players, less than 1% take a fighting game game seriously.

[@niemand7811]

KI remains one of the only true "free custom combo" fighting game titles to this day. Even the early arcade KI entries made Mortal Kombat blush.
