I also found his channel through Week of Hisako. I wasn't even into fighting games when I found him, but watching his KI videos made me get into the FGC. Good times from such a long time ago.
I really hope this sets the gears in motion for a sequel or a ....crosses finger season 4 and a visual overhaul ( i still want the ultras to have that bit more visual flair)....I still want that Rash stage...in my mind i am seeing a packed background with speeder bikes
The game's engine is too old so like age of empires did with 2, 3 definitive edition. I hope we get graphic update with it or just sequel in general. fun fact, people who still work on Age of empires 2, 3 DE contents(yes these games still gets new contents even this year as well) a lot of them also worked on KI as well.
Guest characters don't deserve priority for new stages when a series veteran like Eyedol still doesn't have one and new playable characters to the cast like Eagle and Mira also don't have stages. Gargos also could use a glow up for Astral Plane.
The universal change that hits hardest is that any ability to let you generate pressure if they broke your combo was removed (Orchid's Panthers on breaker, Sadira's Webs on breaker, etc). So they removed the tools to universally steal back your turn if they broke your combo.
The announcement for this update gave me motivation to boot up this game again. The problem right now is that after the update, this game is constantly freezing and crashing almost every match i'm in! This didn't happen in any of the other seasons, but now the game had crashed on me almost 10 times in this week. I hope this is something that Iron Galaxy can fix soon.
I went ahead and bought this game so I can have access to all the fighters. Man I’m glad I did! This is an amazing fighter!!!! I wished I got it sooner.
I absolutely love how this game keeps coming back I’m hoping the rumors are true and Arc Sys is developing a new Killer Instinct because oh boy that is going to be sick
For the record I've been Jago since the beginning. I'm hella rusty but I got back into it the beginning of last week. Even made a couple of players rage quit. LOL But it's been fun playing again after all these years. I still miss the days when I went to Super Arcade competing almost every week for the Runback Thursdays.
Since you were kind of in a rush when rating the costumes for outfit 3, I hope you take another good look at them all and all the color alts. Maybe some context on the design by looking at the 2D artwork and what the artists had to say.
How does Max keep all this information in his head? Doesnt matter if its MVC2 or KI or Power Rangers Battle for the Grid Max seems to just know all this info like balance changes, combos, viable moves.
I hope they update the models to be the same as the renders, i mean theoretically... these renders come from models... right? This opens the possibility. Would be sick, atleast and make old designs an optional costume.
I started KI 2K13 with the anniversary patch. Took me 10 years to finally get in and I’m loving it just the way it is. Glad I missed all the other versions but I hope they never change it again.
Mang I haven't been playing this game in a good minute and I hop on and it says I made it to top 32 in March 2017. Then I saw I had 22 stars right off the bat and my mouth dropped like that. I've never made it to top 32 but I did make it to killer.
I got 13 stars when I first booted up Anniversary edition. I already had 1 glitched star and one legit star... so seeing 15 stars next to my gamertag makes me feel like such a fraud
great video no doubt actually max is the introduce to me with killer instinct i never even know that game was exist. i update my pc to win7 to win 10 just for downloading KI. Microsoft/Iron Galaxy made an upsie, saddest part is they promised premium and all content. they released figurine colors and next day patch they removed it. As i steam user i cannot active them there is no activation code for skins either for figurines not exist anymore. I would pay it as dlc but i dont know why studio decide to go this way. That figurine colors just too awesome sadly even you had figurines you cant active it on steam. Figurines are no longer exist also. After playing with shago 10-11 color. Other colors just not good enough. Oh well that colors always going to be bitter sweet memory in my heart.
The sequel should've happened years ago, but I guess this was easier to do similar to what Nintendo did for MK8 Deluxe so they won't have to deal with all the licensing issues down the road.
Try out mk mugen packs also. Mkp ultimate update from gue Santos us really good. Polished like it's an official mk classic game but with more characters fatalities stages and better ai
Say now that Killer Instinct has returned, if Iron Galaxy decides to give it a sequel, could this *possibly* mean that Microsoft will maybe buy/acquire Iron Galaxy?
As a kid in the arcades in las vegas this game was like a dam concert...the orchid song-(she is a killer) sounds like....in love in love yeah yeah yeah!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
@@skatakid117 Cold shoulder is now more negative on block and lost most of its push back. This means you have to use hail to make shoulder safe. He's no longer plus on combo breaker. Instinct puddle punch is now more negative on block and whiff. Ultimately he's still good. Cold shoulder is still good as a fast advancing special on a heavy hitting zoner. Teleport nerfs are whatever cause I almost always used it hail up. I miss being plus on breaker but I get why they changed it.
I don't know if I should be happy or disappointed since Kan-Ra did not get touched in this update. He has buggy shit that they should have ironed out at least if he wasn't going to get any buffs.
They need to add the thing they say they were going to add season one stage ultras. They also need to add stages for the characters that don’t have them and ultimates for the characters that don’t have them. There also need to add classic stages like sf5.
Huh I main Orchid. I have since Snes KI. I loved her character design (2013 version not so much) and she was always really fast. I like using fast characters in KI.
INCREDIBLE game…the music alone is worth it…the first thing I ever taught myself on guitar was the main theme and the character select riffs…super heavy and super awesome
I feel like no one will feel to answer me but, I read that the update will merge all existing previous Ki versions into a single one, but at the same time removing the classic KI 1 and 2, that means that if I am new to xbox (and never bought any KI in the past) and want to get a copy of KI today to play with a few friends of mine who already have KI with KI 1 and 2 classic, I will no longer be able to play KI classic with my friends? if this is the case, does KI classic 1 and 2 comes in the definitive edition physical version without download? :( I'm quite sad if nothing can be done, KI classic 1 and 2 are the reason why I want to get a copy of KI, because I have a few friends who play it almost every day
The updates are a mixed bag. There are some characters that seriously needed to be nerfed such as Rash, but some buffs that are over the top, ie Jago. A DP that does about 1/3 damage?!?! No other fighting game has anything close! Previously, Jago's DP was perfectly fine. Jago was fine, except that he could be zoned to a degree. All he needed was a bit faster walk speed. Again, Fulgore was the most nerfed character. It's like the programmers just can't figure out what Fulgore is supposed to be. For sure Fulgore isn't top 5 anymore. Probably top 10. I agree that the worst nerf was the extra recovery frames after a teleport. That fundamentally changes his offense, which really shouldn't be part of a rebalance. I think they also did a sloppy job on the animation for his medium eye laser. When the laser makes the first contact (whether on block or hit) there is a considerable delay before the next animation. It looks like the game temporarily froze. I just think they did a bad job on the animation. At they end of the day, I'm moving on from KI anyway. I'm getting into SF6 now.
Everyone is saying specific characters are too broken, I feel like this might actually be one of the most even Tekken games, because every character is broken in their own way. It should be a lot of fun.
I got the game like three months ago and I’m picking it up again now (never played Gears of War but I fucking loved playing RAAM), were Shin Hisako and Shadow Jago made clones as a necessity or something? As in the devs wanted to make two more characters but either due to budget or talent constraints had to make them clones? They strucked me as so especially because Shin Hisako has the same idle animation as Hisako.
Maximillian you didn't mention that Killer Instinct on windows store is no longer a UWP game! This is huge! I feel like more people need to be aware of this. Especially since its the better version on pc.
@badbonezthlegnd2049 Universal Windows Program. It's a really stupid thing Microsoft tried to unify with Xbox and PC. You couldn't access the games files in your folders. Which made any game in this format not able to be modded. Poor decision when trying to make an ecosystem when Steam and GOG is available. Now I don't mind getting Windows games since they moved away from UWP. It's really great now because of that.
The best part of all of this is that people are finally online on the PC version
Hey Spinal what up dog
The Steam version broke it's concurrent players record, probably thanks to Max's stream in some part.
* bad to the bone plays in the background *@@brendonohagan1946
Is this game cross platform? It would open up a lot of players to each other. Really, all MS related games should be cross between PC/Xbox imo.
Finally online on the STEAM version.
Windows version is really active.
I still remember those "Week of Hisako" videos. They're what introduced me to your channel! And I'm forever grateful to KI for this!
Week of gracious for me 😩😩
I also found his channel through Week of Hisako. I wasn't even into fighting games when I found him, but watching his KI videos made me get into the FGC. Good times from such a long time ago.
I was introduced through his TJ Combo videos!!! Algorithm knew what to get my attention with xD
Back in the ol' UA-cam days!
I definitely remember those days. Good times!
I still listen to the killer instinct soundtrack while I’m working out till this day
Same.
Same.
Legend
So good
Hinnamatoom my man, I listen to it everyday
I really hope this sets the gears in motion for a sequel or a ....crosses finger season 4 and a visual overhaul ( i still want the ultras to have that bit more visual flair)....I still want that Rash stage...in my mind i am seeing a packed background with speeder bikes
Im down. And even give the entire cast an ultimate
The game's engine is too old so like age of empires did with 2, 3 definitive edition.

Wouldn’t be surprised to hear some upcoming
@@eunit08this is exactly what i want, all characters to have ultimates
It's funny how people forget that KI runs in 4K since the launch of the Xbox One X in 2017.
in fact I did not see any improvement over OneX...
but It seems nobody remember
The universal change that hits hardest is that any ability to let you generate pressure if they broke your combo was removed (Orchid's Panthers on breaker, Sadira's Webs on breaker, etc). So they removed the tools to universally steal back your turn if they broke your combo.
To me this change kinda makes sense. A combo breaker should reset to neutral
That is neat!

Let's go!!
I'ma have to re-download this on the Steam Deck and get back into it. Happy to see KI getting some playtime again!
I went ahead and bought this game so I can have access to all the fighters. Man I’m glad I did! This is an amazing fighter!!!! I wished I got it sooner.
I absolutely love how this game keeps coming back
I’m hoping the rumors are true and Arc Sys is developing a new Killer Instinct because oh boy that is going to be sick

LOL But it's been fun playing again after all these years. I still miss the days when I went to Super Arcade competing almost every week for the Runback Thursdays.
Not played this KI because xbox but I was jago in KI gold, but I play all characters in fighting games.
Fired this back up with the update and I feel bad for forgetting how good this game is. It's so fun.
TY for this. I’ve always loved KI but have been so bad at it. But omg I LOVE this update
I started watching this channel when KI came out jesus Doods it's been 10 years! 😮, Shine on!
Since you were kind of in a rush when rating the costumes for outfit 3, I hope you take another good look at them all and all the color alts. Maybe some context on the design by looking at the 2D artwork and what the artists had to say.
I wish you could actually use the the retro soundtrack in game. including the ultra beat-sync
I'm so excited for Combo Breaker this year now, this game is criminally underrated
How does Max keep all this information in his head? Doesnt matter if its MVC2 or KI or Power Rangers Battle for the Grid Max seems to just know all this info like balance changes, combos, viable moves.
whats arc sys
it's his job
He read the patch notes WTF. His video is edited, he is reading the patch notes as he is going
Looks like Jago's been learning uppercuts from master Luigi there at the Smash Dojo.
I didn't think we would hear anything about this game anymore
I hope they update the models to be the same as the renders, i mean theoretically... these renders come from models... right? This opens the possibility. Would be sick, atleast and make old designs an optional costume.
16:40, what a 'complete' misunderstanding of the change.
It is the "forward-moving" spirit that changes, not the hitbox projectile.
I started KI 2K13 with the anniversary patch. Took me 10 years to finally get in and I’m loving it just the way it is. Glad I missed all the other versions but I hope they never change it again.
The select menu theme song is so bad ass!! The most badass ever
I’m happy but also sad arbiter got no changes. A little buff or change here would have been nice😢still love playing him though
This game has been oyt since being the exclusive debute on the xbox one console debute and is still one of the best fighting games to date.
Been playing KI with my brother for 6 years now since I was 14, I knew something was up didn’t know they updated it
Excellent Video Max.
Nice Rundown of some of the Changes too each Character man.
I need too get my butt into gear and get going with some KI Action 😀.
Yup. Definitely going back🔥

I could have swore this game ran in 4k when I got my Xbox one x
Dude, been waiting for you to cover more of the anniversary update!
Forgot to mention Rash’s standing HK got a nerf too, can no longer easily hit confirms, the window is smaller
Loving this update! I started playing the GOG version of Mortal Kombat Trilogy a couple of weeks ego but stopped so I could play this
Try out mk mugen packs also. Mkp ultimate update from gue Santos us really good. Polished like it's an official mk classic game but with more characters fatalities stages and better ai
Was looking forward to you coming back to KI
I hope more people play Killer Instinct 2013!
Man, this would be a great time to remaster the original killer instinct.
I have been waiting for this moment for a long time. I bought the game On steam but after all the hype. now its time to Shine On!
Say now that Killer Instinct has returned, if Iron Galaxy decides to give it a sequel, could this *possibly* mean that Microsoft will maybe buy/acquire Iron Galaxy?
We need more fighting games full of big monsters.
Agreed
Darkstalkers?
We need a bloody roar, primal rage and clayfighters revamp.
Now they need to give Folgor a Nerf that when ever he lands the blade charge that makes him 0 on block he yells out "PERFECT"
This is a game thats always made me sad to be a ps4-5 player. Ive always wahted to play but just never had the chance.
Killer instinct and Soul Caliber
Are both overdue”
A Next Gen release would be great especially to see what today’s hardware can do.
"Everyone playing Jago" its like KI's Day 1/Season 1 all over again!
As a kid in the arcades in las vegas this game was like a dam concert...the orchid song-(she is a killer) sounds like....in love in love yeah yeah yeah!!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
I was worried about Glacius nerfs, but then i went on a tear in ranked like nothing ever changed lol
What was his nerfs? I main him and was thinking about coming back lol
@@skatakid117
Cold shoulder is now more negative on block and lost most of its push back. This means you have to use hail to make shoulder safe.
He's no longer plus on combo breaker.

Ultimately he's still good. Cold shoulder is still good as a fast advancing special on a heavy hitting zoner. Teleport nerfs are whatever cause I almost always used it hail up.

@@eth102 so basically use mk1 kameo tactics to make it safe lol
@@eth102 but that's good they didn't nerf him to the ground
@@skatakid117 As a Sektor Kameo main, yes exactly lol
I just wished they would have fixed the jank ass retro costumes. I mean half of em literally don’t even look like how they are actually supposed to
What did they do to Kim Wu's face on the new Select screen? She looks so much worse!
I don't know if I should be happy or disappointed since Kan-Ra did not get touched in this update. He has buggy shit that they should have ironed out at least if he wasn't going to get any buffs.
The heck is wrong with Kim Wu's face?
They need to add the thing they say they were going to add season one stage ultras. They also need to add stages for the characters that don’t have them and ultimates for the characters that don’t have them. There also need to add classic stages like sf5.
The first 2 killer instinct games jago was weak and had big openings. But this knew one jago is super op and aggressive
I still hate that purple smoke effect for the shadow moves...why they just can't bring back the original S1 effect?
Killer Instinct on windows store (PC) no longer recognizes my xbox one fight stick after the update. This happen to anyone else?
The background music from the snes CD... Just great
Does the Steam version have crossplay with the Xbox and Windows version?
Love how they had to cut out like an hour of Max just messing with Fulgore 💀
They need to give the remainder of the characters an Ultimate Combo. Shocked that they didn’t give Orchid one.
Huh I main Orchid. I have since Snes KI. I loved her character design (2013 version not so much) and she was always really fast. I like using fast characters in KI.
When we talk about KI,Max is never far away 😎
shoutouts to when max said "let's make this a quick run through of all the characters then spent an hour and a half labbing fulcore
Can someone make a visual comparison of before and after for this game.
I did try playing and it felt stiff and I got my ass kicked lol
INCREDIBLE game…the music alone is worth it…the first thing I ever taught myself on guitar was the main theme and the character select riffs…super heavy and super awesome
“Everybody’s playing Jago” 😂 sees the one who mains Ken on SF6 🤦🏻♂️😂
For whatever reason, my stick doesn't work in game anymore. Only in the menus....
I feel like if they made a second game and completely start from scratch. It would be amazing
They have no studio to make it. Only a handful of people came back to polish this up. But the studio split.
Wow nice intro, thanks for the rundown update and have subscribed to this Channel!!
Literally did a 83 percent combo with jago last game
I wish Kim’s dragons reacted to how she moves and jumps it just looks odd floating around her like nothing is happening
Mortal Kombat vs killer Instinct.
Ki is back baby.
Wait, Max did you add the Killer Cuts OST or is this in game?
Its the game, the songs are unlockables
Jago learned to do more damage from O. Sagat from SSF2T
I feel like no one will feel to answer me but, I read that the update will merge all existing previous Ki versions into a single one, but at the same time removing the classic KI 1 and 2, that means that if I am new to xbox (and never bought any KI in the past) and want to get a copy of KI today to play with a few friends of mine who already have KI with KI 1 and 2 classic, I will no longer be able to play KI classic with my friends? if this is the case, does KI classic 1 and 2 comes in the definitive edition physical version without download? :( I'm quite sad if nothing can be done, KI classic 1 and 2 are the reason why I want to get a copy of KI, because I have a few friends who play it almost every day
I remember that u got ki1 classic and ki2 classic if you bought the ultra edition of season 1 and 2 respectively. But I don't know about it past that.
I think I notice one big thing
Longer input delay
this game has the best looking roster/characters in all of fighting games
Man these sped-up walk cycles are FUNKY lol.
Jago is love, Jago is life. LOL
But this is coming from a dude who's played KI on SNES. I just liked his asthetic.
Ikr I grew up playing on the SNES and had this game.
@@Mr_Mack88 Who did you rock with? Honestly the entire cast had pros and cons so I won't really fault you for whoever you pick period.
This is my favorite fighting game I’m so glad that it’s still getting updated 🔥
"orchid got buff, after buff, after buff. But she's still bad." 🤣
The updates are a mixed bag. There are some characters that seriously needed to be nerfed such as Rash, but some buffs that are over the top, ie Jago. A DP that does about 1/3 damage?!?!

That dp damage is harkoning back to street fighter 2 turbo days. That's insane.
Shin Hisako is my main
Jago is badass with his hapkido fighting style in every KI game.
Can they patch input for jago wind kick i rather it be forward down back kick and give him back his slide kick
Def gonna check out KI again 🙏🏽🙏🏽
man this looks so good!
Anyone knows what happened to Nicky from Killer Instinct?
Everyone is saying specific characters are too broken, I feel like this might actually be one of the most even Tekken games, because every character is broken in their own way. It should be a lot of fun.
max really cut out the two hours of him labbing fulgore in the middle of this lol. Only remnant is 8:45 where the camera is now on the bottom
Did they ever fix the steam deck version crashing when playing online?
Fine for me with proton experimental
Oh there is a frame data thing. Need it
The only thing missing is super moves. Shadow moves are good, but super moves are legendary.
Killer instinct is pretty much our
Mortal Kombat.
Shin Hisako will always be so weird to me. Like Hisako is imo almost a perfect character so making a "clone" character of her always felt a bit weird
I got the game like three months ago and I’m picking it up again now (never played Gears of War but I fucking loved playing RAAM), were Shin Hisako and Shadow Jago made clones as a necessity or something? As in the devs wanted to make two more characters but either due to budget or talent constraints had to make them clones?
