Killer Instinct Documentary "Fight On" released.

- Start date
yeah but do people really layer meat and veggies in a sando?
This is rad! Love KI. The classics were a huge part of my life in the 90's and the 2013 game was great.
I always appreciate keit's candid thoughts on balance and interacting with players. Being the public face of a competitive game is absolutely brutal. It's draining and will take a toll on you probably no matter how thick your skin is.

I had so much enjoyment following along with development, the teases and hints, watching the Dev streams, the new character releases, watching the community react to it all. Wondering if Aganos was made of broccoli, seeing Arbiter vs Eyedol. Great stuff. Bring back Ki!
is this exclusively about the newer game? I was a massive fan of the snes one but never really got into the reboot. not against it, just never really used my xbone, and the art style didn't really grab me I guess. i'd say I'm still a fan but who knows. Gonna put this on later.
OP you should probably mention that this documentary mainly focuses on the new Killer Instinct game for Xbox One/Xbox One X and it's seasons [2013-2016].
From the jump, I was excited to come in here and finally see a documentary about the entire history of Killer Instinct - especially the arcade games - when only a very, very small portion at the beginning is relegated to the first arcade game and Killer Instinct 2 isn't touched upon at all, other than seeing gameplay from it occasionally.

Personally, I think Killer Instinct 2013 is one of the finest Western made fighting games in a very long time. It just oozes quality.
What a brilliant documentary, just half way through but holy shit did MS get lucky with Double Helix. Some of the ideas, like dynamic audio (Rare speciality) is simply genius.
I pray we get a next gen sequel. I love Ken's stories with Rare and Nintendo also.

Not sure I'd call it 'dlc' and 'main game. Not to deride Double Helix - they laid a dope foundation, but IG really ran with the game. It absolutely got better once they took over. We'll never know what would've happened if DH had kept going instead, so there's not much to say beyond that.
Skullgirls is (unfortunately) the best Western made fighting game, but KI is not far behind it.
Yes, it's awesome. The latter part where they talk about all the tournaments is kind of slow. But I watched the entire thing and I have an almost non-existent attention span. The 1st 45 minutes is amazing especially if you're a KI fan.
I think KI has better gameplay than Skullgirls, but that's just me.
Could never get into Skullgirls, I find it quite boring, maybe it's just not my style, just like I can't get interested in stuff like Blazblue or Guilty Gear either. But the amount of detail and cool things that differentiate KI from the rest of fighting games imo makes it a lot better than Skullgirls.
"Kinda skims over KI2"??
It completely omits any discussion of it.
Make no mistake, this documentary is solely about the new Killer Instinct game [2013-2016]. There is a brief segment at the very beginning regarding the origins of the original Killer Instinct arcade game reminisced by Ken Lobb - but for the next hour and a half; it's all 2013-2016 Killer Instinct.
Yeah, this documentary really gave me new appreciation for Ken Lobb.
I would have never guessed that Fatal Fury was the primary inspiration for KI's gameplay. That's like the most mind blowing thing of the whole doc for me.
I never really enjoyed playing Killer Instinct 2013, but it's more to do with the inherent mechanics of the series than anything. I respect and admire how they deconstructed fighting game archetypes, though. It kinda put the whole genre on notice.

Yo why was them games looking LEGIT
Looking at Wikipedia now, one of the last games The Collective developed before they became Double Helix was Marc Ecko's Getting Up (also the last Slayer Engine game as The Collective). One of my favorite PS2/Xbox games.

Your links are blowing my mind! I learned so much from you. Also that best fan website, oh my gosh; the amount of work they put into it. Each character has a ton of gifs, guides and my gosh it is super in depth. I'm in total awe of that fan web site, it is so in-depth!
I remember Buffy being my first xbox game that I played! It was so much better than it had to be and I am so happy amount of love they gave it. Also I remember hearing how Marc Ecko's Getting Up was a total underrated game.
Everybody this documentary really Is worth your time!!
Do we know how the 2013 reboot game "sold"? Could determine if we see a sequel.
I'm all-in on the idea of another KI though. That game just oozed personality. I loved the music, the character designs, and especially the announcer who increasingly sounded like he was going to spontaneously combust if you got a good enough combo, haha.

double helix finally hitting its stride and then immediately getting buried by Amazon is such a tragedy
Yeah I'm very curious about the Killer Cuts CD that came with...the game (?)...or something. I think I listened to that disc more than I played the game.
We don't. It had many users, but we don't know how much it sold. I can't imagine that it didn't do well enough to justify a sequel, though. Microsoft would be foolish to not bring it back for next gen.
Hard to gauge, because the basic game was free, and you paid for characters. So that 10 million could just be anyone who ever downloaded and booted it up out of curiosity.
Do we even know what project they are working on at Amazon? Are they even? Or did they just get absorbed into some other studio?
Definitely absorbed into Amazon Game Studios, but occasionally the name still pops up.
Breakaway... Cancelled
Amazon’s fantasy sports game Breakaway shoots, but may not score
Breakaway runs well in alpha, but it has no idea what kind of game it wants to be.
Amazon Pushes Into Making Video Games, Not Just Streaming Their Play (Published 2020)
The internet giant is investing hundreds of millions of dollars in the effort, with its first original game, Crucible, to be released next month.

Didn't really play much of the new one because I suck at fighting games, mainly just played it because of nostalgia, the original KI was one of the few fighting games I could get the hang of, this new one not so much. Anyway, even with that, the documentary kept me engaged. Didn't think I'd watch the entire thing but I couldn't stop. Great stuff.
It's in-depth although kinda long-winded to be honest.
It's a real shame.
Is it too late to jump into this one?
I loved the original but didn't own an Xbox when the new one came out. Somehow I missed the PC release and it got forgotten.
I'm an old dude and not that experienced in fighting games. I played Sm4sh competitive though. But I want to get into a fighting game with a good netcode. I'm so tired of Smash Ultimate online

It's fantastic. Easy to get into and there are some neat unique characters to master.
The tutorial is also pretty great. I havent played online for a while but I suspect it to be a rough time, heh.
I fire it up from time to time to play some rounds just because its so damn fun and flashy.
Nice. I don't mind getting my ass kicked online. As long as the experience is smooth
One of the smoothest on the market. Smash is a travesty compare to it
