I just replayed my FAV arcade game...KILLER INSTINCT 2..what a game!
Great combo system!
Great C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
That's a solid gameplay!
My fav is COMBO with his 80 hits combo...yeah.
I know also Shawn liked Killer instinct,the second is better that the first.

When I saw first time Mark of the wolves...I saw the BREAKING feature...well it was a shame..it's not a combo breaker at all,like KI 2..it's only a different way of attack.

Combo Breakers are the KEY to a real exciting gameplay....

Thanks rare and thanks Nintendo.

Garou is less exciting at all.

Billy,are you listening to this ?

Are you on drugs man? lol No offense but KI 2 sucked compared to KI 1. KI 1 was such a cool game, KI 2 had ugly graphics and kinda sucked.

KI 1 is not good as 2.
Infact KI 2 has
better and improved combo system

Super combo breakers,that means you can make breakers on ultra combo when you are under it

Also,you can REACT at no mercy moves,avoinding them and reacting.

Plus the graph and sound are way better,just listen to Orchid tune.

The fact is that the first KI has more publicity,the 2 was a little ignored due to his not so much piblicity and HIGH cost to face to buy it.

I own KI 2 since I played a lot KI and KI 2.

If you are a expert KI player,you must go with 2.

If you are a normal player,like some friends of mine here in Italy,you choose the 1.
The KI 1 is more simplete and easy to get into,the sencond chapter is a little more complex but way more complete and funny.

But you HAVE to master it to like it.

Umm, I love KI1 but KI2 just plain sucked. Although once you were good enough, you just knew the BEST combo you could use from any opening, and it would get pretty repetitive. I mean it was just writ memorization when it came down to it, now you can do a whole lot more in newer fighters, the combos are more dynamic where you can chain together moves on your own, it's not a static set of combos that KI used.

FTL - you're right: KI 2 or KI Gold (the N64
version) maybe has the greatest combo system
in the fighting world. I mean ou have everything: 2-in-ones, linkers, breakers,
finishers etc. etc. But you have to be very
very experienced at it to enjoy fully.

Hey:

Killer Instict...this was one of the first fighters I ever saw that had a big cult following, and I never understood why. The "Dial-A-Combo" term was created from this series, and when it was supposed to come and be a killer-app on the N64, it was a major disapointment. Remember how it was originally supposed to come the the "Ultra 64" for a long time and when Nintendo realized that the whole 64 thing was a long way off, it got an inferior port to the SNES? If Rare plans to revive this series on the Gamecube fine, but they should make it more like SoulCalibur. <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">

I remember hanging in the arcades, back in the day, playing ki. Since I never had a neo around me, this was one of my fav games.

Now, I definately stick with the neo. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

What "combo system"?

all you do is just jam the goddamn buttons and then add specials and other shit as you're going nuts on the controls.

It's really not advanced at all.

Now KOF2000 has a real combo system, to prevent button mashers from being the ultimate champions. there are many formulas you can use for combos in that game, but i don't feel like getting into it now.

But, i think they are quality games, but they are NOWHERE NEAR Mark of the Wolves.

I like KI2 better, the KI1 was a little far beind the sequel.

One day,playing KI 2 -or the one- I got an idea in my mind and friends of mine the same...yeah it was "HAVING FUN"

HAVING FUN

KI is really more funny than MotW.
It's easy to get into,but hard to master.
Also,MotW has a bad combo system.
Combo system must be easy to learn and hard to master,also you should be allowed to chain multiple hits NOT only special moves..

Fran says it on time,and he was so right.

Mark ot Wolves is good for newbies,the real neogeo lovers learned to love neogeo played Real Bout series... featuring ,BTW,top combo
System.

The original Killer Instinct that hit the arcades was revolutionary, beyond it’s time. I loved the combo system. Just as Mortal Kombat pioneered fatalities, KI pioneered combos. Ultra combos, fatalities, & humiliations, what more could you ask for at the time? It was the best fighter around, and in my opinion, has yet to be surpassed by an equivalent title in originality & innovation. It’s a shame that nearly all of the KI cabs are dead now, since the program runs off a hard drive.

I agree that MoTW has a bad combo system, but i still think that KI has a poop ass combo system, all it is is just button jamming.

in terms of fun, i would rather play MOTW. KI just isn't all that great.

When I was playing KI in the arcades,I really loved that game.
People ghere in Italy were all for Virtua Fighter 3..
KI is the real game.
The second has some improvements.

Also,Shawn,my KI 2's hard drive runs perfectly,so the KI 1's hard drive of the cabinet of my friend.

This shows up also how in tech the KI's cabinet was awesome!
It has a jamma board and a connected hard drive.

Shawn do you remeber the Orchid tune?

I have a partially working ki2. <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">
The heatsink came off and one of the chips melted. Luckily all I need is another pcb to get it working again. Around $25-$50. <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

After all that time I spent tracking down a full kit... <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

Hey:

Anyone else think that when Shawn shows up to defend another fighting game over MOTW, its time to shut up?

FTL,
Can’t say I remember the Orchid tune. The music on the character select screen is all I hear in my mind. It gives the impression that this game was meant for serious players.

Well I have a KI 2 cab and MOTW. For me it is really hard to compare the 2. I love playing KI2. I can not really say I like one over the other. KI 2 is a button masher, Then again I see people pull of the same combos and chains over and over again in MOTW. KI has nice extra like busting people through walls, knocking them down wells and I really like being able to fight until your lifebar is empty. Nothing like seeing Orchid's Awesome victory Groan screen. As far as KI being better. Well I never played it enough to compare.

MOTW though has the Storyline and history of the fatal fury series. Also the tops option and effects are top notch. Both are really fun to play for me.

Is that not enough <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

All I have to say is KI 2 sucked so bad, that it's the reason KI 3 hasn't come out, and probly won't (2 had low sales, and popularity for the series dropped after it came out).

And I heard someone mention 2's music being better, are you on drugs? KI 1's music killed 2's, KI 1 has such awesome music, theres really no comparison. And whats with everyon looking really gay in KI 2? The grpahics looked totally different, and everyone got smaller and wider, like dwarfized. My man TJ Combo they just tore up.

KI 1 is such a classic, and 2 almost made me puke. There is no contest that MOTW's is a better game, i'd probly rather play SSF2.
