Hello everyone, and welcome to the Killer Instinct Super NES FAQ!
I'm Derek Kisman, and I'll be your host for the trip. Please watch your
head; the management apologizes for the shoddy appearance of the entrance.
Anybody wishing to donate some original ASCII art would be most welcome and,
would get their name hung up in lights (er, pixels) in thousands of homes!
That aside, please allow me to introduce the attractions of the day.
For beginners and aspiring show-offs, we have the complete selection
of special moves, Danger Moves, and other finishing moves. It is our sincere
hope that you find these useful. Once you've learned enough to impress all
your friends and whomp the computer, we hope you'll come again for our more
advanced tours.
For those who have already mastered the moves, know a few combos,
and wish to know more (and avoid the dreaded C-C-C-Combo Breaker), you may
skip the rudiments and go directly to one of our main events: a guide to
putting together ALL elementary combos for a character. Learn to vary your
autoseconds, figure out where the linkers and endings may go, and generally
stop being too predictable (read: beatable) in your combos. Pretty soon
the other guys'll be begging you to sit still and let them break ya'.
And, for our visitors of professional interest, who basically have
nothing that I could possibly tell them about strategy that they don't
already know, we have lists of combos: unusual, uncanny, and unstoppable
(and, of course, unbelievable). We have the maximum known Ultras for you
greedy high-score table hoggers, (including the never-before-seen Chief
Thunder 38, Sabrewulf 34, Fulgore 32, and Riptor 34!), the maximum normal
combos for those wishing to try, some strange and wonderful Slow-Motion
combos, missing Ultras and combo enders, and other weirdness. In addition,
our combos will also teach you some more advanced techniques of adding in
some extra or cool-looking hits (not that you didn't already know them,
right?), which you can apply to almost any other combos of your own design.
And, finally, we have combos chosen merely for their challenge. Attempt to
master these, and you'll be practicing some very advanced techniques! Not to
mention that many of them are unbreakable, or very close to it... Good
luck...
We assure you that we have taken every pain to be sure that our
information is 100% accurate. Everything you shall see has been confirmed
by us, and we would surely slap a guarantee on this FAQ if... well, if you'd
actually paid any money for it. (Hopefully you didn't. :) ) With luck our
only sins shall be omission; I assure you, we have properly made our animal
sacrifices to the God of Typos...
Of course, should one of you anno... er, helpful people find an
error which my secretaries, the fools that they be, have made, please don't
hesitate to point it out to me. My e-mail address is at the end of this FAQ,
and I assure you those responsible shall be dealt with.
Various typos were corrected from 1.0. Please send me any more that
you find, however! Apparently I'd missed Cinder's description in his
profile; that has now been corrected. Whoops. ;)
Game Genie codes have been added. There are always more being
developed, however, so I will be a few days behind... sue me. :P
As far as combos go, one or two new miscellaneous combos, and the
following Maximums have been improved: Cinder's Normal by 2 and Ultra by 4,
Glacius' Normal by 3 and Ultra by 2, Jago's Normal by 2, Spinal's Ultra by 1,
and Fulgore's Normal by 3.
Finally, I have a new section describing all of the possible endings
to the game.
Hopefully, in v1.2, I'll be able to include Shadow moves and a
section compiling together how exactly to do all these crazy combos; I've had
lots of people asking me for timing. Also, a few moves sent in which I
couldn't cover here will appear next version.
This is a compilation of information on the Super Nintendo game
Killer Instinct, by Rare. It is basically all the moves, secrets and that
Rare intends you to find (usually), but doesn't bother to include in the
instructions. After all, what fun would THAT be? Remember, countless
people have spent countless hours figuring this stuff out, so treat this
with the reverence you'd treat any other repository of great wisdom.
None of this stuff is guaranteed to work on Killer Instinct the
Arcade game, Mario Brothers, mashed potatoes, your annoying little brother,
or in fact anything much OTHER than the SNES game. Also, I do not endorse
doing Danger Moves on living people, without practicing on dummies at least a
little bit first.
And if you become addicted to the thing, it's your own darn fault.
Fighting games are a fad that people have been predicting will die
out "any day now", but haven't. They involve, at their simplest, two
people on-screen, fighting in some sort of arena. The people are either
controlled by one player and the arcade game, or by two players going head
to head. The goal is to make your opponent's guy lose all of his/her energy
before he/she does the same to you, at which point the opponent will fall
down, or (in some games) remain standing and wait for you to do something
very nasty to them.
The players set off toward this goal by pushing buttons to make their
characters punch, kick, throw, smash, etc. Special moves usually exist, as
well, which go beyond, and are usually more powerful than the standard
hand-to-hand fighting moves. These special moves require more than just the
push of a button to execute, and in many cases aren't told you by the game
designers.
Admittedly, this doesn't have as much depth as, say, a good book,
a role-playing game, or even counting your toes, but as one of the poor,
stupid masses I can attest to the fact that they are ADDICTING. :)
Killer Instinct is a very recent fighting game that arrived in
arcades around the beginning of the year. It was designed by Rare, came
in a casing built by Midway, and was the first arcade game to store
information on a hard drive. Because of this, its graphics revolutionized
the industry; one glance at the details in the game (even if you aren't a
fan of the silicon graphics characters) is enough to tell you that. On
August 31, only one day late, Killer Instinct was officially released to
Super Nintendo systems everywhere. Now slavering zombies can neglect
their social life for free, and in the comfort of their own home!
Not to scare you or anything, but this is a very addictive game.
Well, you might be surprised to hear that there is a product out on
the market that is tailored just perfectly for your needs! You may have
heard of it. It's called an instruction manual, and if you were one of the
lucky first 2-billion buyers of the game, you got one included free!
I'm not here to tell you controller operations and stuff like that;
I'm just here to tell you all the stuff conveniently left out of the manual.
And a little bit more.
Before you head off, though, I must warn you. Have I mentioned that
this is a very addictive game?
When looking at all of these combos, you might notice that there
isn't a WK or a MP in sight. Instead, we have 1-6. Well, in most cases I've
tried to remain in accordance with the instructions given in the manual, but
I made an exception in using numbers for the buttons. I did this because,
well, everybody uses them these days. You'll see the numbers a lot more
often than MK, FP, FK, etc. So what do 1-6 stand for? Well, in the days of
the arcade, the console was set up like this:
| O O O
| (QP) (MP) (FP)
---O---
| (joystick) O O O
| (QK) (MK) (FK)
So just number them 1-6 from left to right and up to down, and you
have our system. Thus, 1=QP, 2=MP, 3=FP, 4=QK, 5=MK, 6=FK. You'll get used
to it. Trust me.
Ok, now what we are defining here is exactly how I tell you to move
the control pad and push the buttons to achieve something. So I'll be
pretty exact in what my symbols mean; on the plus side, this lets me do some
VERY advanced movements in the same symbols as the novice movements. On
the minus side, occasionally I'm a little stricter than I need to be. You
can always just do things your way with guidance from my information, but be
warned that there will be some combos you'll HAVE to do my way.
For a basic control pad direction, I simply have a letter (B=back,
F=forward, U=up, D=down). Back means AWAY from your opponent, and Forward
means TOWARD your opponent. DF would mean diagonally Down and Forward.
Sometimes there needs to be a control pad MOVEMENT. In this case, I have
two directions linked by a hyphen (-). This means you should ROLL from one
direction to the other, not missing any directions in between. A smooth
thumb motion should do it for you. So, for example, D-F means push down,
down and towards, and then toward your opponent. In the case F-B or B-F,
you should always roll in the downwards direction (F-B=F,DF,D,DB,B). I
use this rather than HCB because of a) its simplicity, b) it's more like
the manual, and c) it's necessary for some of the advanced motions. Now,
sometimes you need to charge (hold the joystick for a second) in a certain
direction. To show this, I preface the direction with a c. So cF means to
charge the joystick forward a second. c3F, however, means to charge forward
for THREE seconds. I don't do this often, but that's what it means.
Buttons I simply have as 1-6. See the previous section for what
they mean. When I show a 3, for example, push FP. What could be simpler
than that? :) Also, when, occasionally, you have several choices of button
to use, I'll put either the choices in brackets separated by a slash (5/6), or
I'll use P for ANY punch, K for ANY kick, and A for ANY button.
I connect motions and buttons using , and +. , means you can wait
until you've finished the previous motion before going to the next. + means
you should HOLD the previous motion before quickly pushing or doing the next.
In other words, D-F,3 means you can push 3 after releasing forward. D-F+3
means you should quickly push 3 while STILL holding forward.
Ok. Occasionally you'll need to hold a button down while you do
a motion. I show holding the button down by either #h or h#. h3 means that
the PUSHING of 3 isn't really important, just as long as you're holding it
at the time of h3. 3h means that you've gotta use it, just like a regular
3, except that you also need to hold it. So DF-DB+3h means roll from down-
toward to down-away, then push AND HOLD 3 while holding down-away. When
you need to release the button, I use r#. So h1, DF-DB+r1 means hold 1
(whenever you wish), then roll down-toward to down-away, and release 1 while
still holding down-away.
At the end of combos where you need to juggle your opponent, I put
either a "...juggle" or a "juggle". "...juggle" means you need to do the
air juggle after a while (waiting for your opponent to come back into orbit).
"juggle" means to do the air juggle RIGHT AWAY. The reason I use juggle is
that in some cases, characters (like Fulgore) might have different powered-
up or non-powered-up Juggles.
In some very few cases, there will be moves that set up a combo, but
are not actually part of the combo. This is always to "fool" the CPU into
doing a linker at the start of a combo. In this case I will have a | to
separate the beginning portion from the rest of the combo. You must make
sure that the first part does NOT count in the combo (sometimes if you follow
the | too quickly, then the beginning WILL count), or you will find the
combo will end much more quickly than it should.
Now, you know everything about how to do my combos, but I need to
reiterate one very important type of move. Sometimes I will show a 5+F or
something like that rather than F+5. This means just what I've told you
above - push the 5, and then push forward while still holding 5, and then
release 5! This is NECESSARY to string some regular hits together with
special moves! So D-5+F means to push down, then push 5 while still holding
down, roll to forward quickly, and release 5! Tricky, huh? Yup. :) Also,
we might have things like D+3-F+1, which means: push down. Push and release
3 while still holding down. Roll forward. Push 1 while still holding
forward. Release either at your leisure (sometimes) :)
Ok, this is what you've been waiting for! This is the guide that
will tell you how to use the information in the character profile to put
together ALL basic combos for a specific character. Eventually, you'll
learn to mix up the basic combos at random, and your opponent won't know how
to Combo Break them!
First, the all-important concept of an autosecond. An autosecond
is a normal move used in a combo. However, as a reward for using this normal
move in a combo, you get an extra one or two hits from it. In addition, you
can add a combo ending or a linker after the autosecond to extend the combo
further. However, here's the trick: only CERTAIN autoseconds work at any
given time. I'll tell you in a second how to figure out which ones do work.
First, though, in the character profiles I list all the autoseconds and how
many hits they give you. For example, 3 - (3) means that using button 3 as
an autosecond will give you 3 hits rather than 1. A very few autoseconds
also require a direction to be pushed with the button. So, D+6 - (2) in the
profile means that you can push down and 6 to do a 2-hit autosecond in a
combo. There are exactly 6 autoseconds for each character - one with every
button.
All the basic combinations in Killer Instinct start with an opening
move. Now, this may be a jump-in attack (an attack from you, in the air, to
an opponent, on the ground), or it may be a special move (but only certain
ones). In the character profiles, under Openings, I list all the SPECIAL
MOVES that may open a combo. However, I don't list the redundant jump-in
openings, so I'll explain them here.
Which autoseconds you may do depends on what immediately precedes
them in the combo. At the very beginning, this means that the combo Opening
determines what autoseconds can follow it. Now, in the character profile,
you'll see the opening move, the number of hits it does, and then an arrow
pointing to some numbers. These numbers are the autoseconds that may follow
the move. So, for example, after doing Orchid's Fire Cat with 2, you can
push either 3, 4, or 5 to get a multiple-hit autosecond to follow it. ALWAYS
vary the autoseconds that you use from the choices given, however; this will
make breaking your combo that much harder.
With jump-in attacks, it's a whole lot simpler to determine the
autosecond to use. The buttons are linked 1-4, 3-5, and 2-6. After doing
a jump-in attack with one of those buttons, on the ground you may push the
other button to do the autosecond. This, of course, eventually leads to
an entire combo from one jumpkick, which can be very nice. :) So after
jumping in to attack with a 5, you may autosecond with 3 (and, of course,
an autosecond direction, if required). Sometimes you must be fairly close
to do a particular autosecond, however; be warned.
Ok, you've done your opening move and you've gotten your first
autosecond. Now what? Well, you've got a choice. For a shorter, but much
less breakable combo, you can add on a combo Ending now. Endings are regular
special moves that do... well, a VERY cool ending to the combo. The combo's
over (almost) once you've done it, but your opponent will feel bashed,
bruised, battered and beaten. In the character profiles you'll find the
section Endings, where I list all the special moves that are done as special
combo Endings. So after you've done your opening and autosecond, then follow
it up with the Ending for a very satisfying combo. (Note: sometimes the
endings requires charging back to do the move. You should charge back while
the previous autosecond is still going).
So, is that it? Nope. Now I'm going to tell you a way to nearly
double the size of your combos. It's called a linker. What the linker is
is a move done in the MIDDLE of a combo that does NOT end it. Instead,
you can follow the linker up with ANOTHER autosecond, or an ending. So
you've just added even more to your combo! In the character profiles, I list
every character's linker, and the autoseconds that can follow it.
So now your combos may become Opening, autosecond, linker, autosecond, and
Ending!! (Though some characters have more than one linker, you can't
normally do two linkers in a combo. Also, remember, if you need to charge
a direction, do it WHILE the previous autosecond is going).
Ok, that MUST be it, right? Wrong. There's one final embarassment
to be thrown your opponent's way after a combo. Look again at the Endings
section. You'll notice that, after them, they have a number and then "air"
or "end". The number is the number of hits that they do. But what do the
"air"s and "end"s mean? Well, if you do a combo Ending that "end"s, then
the combo's over. Kaput. However, if you do one with "air", then you can
do another special move to hit the opponent as he comes down! In each
character profile you'll notice a section called Air Juggle. This is the
special move that a character may do to hit the opponent as he comes down.
You have to time it right, but the end result will be an even COOLER combo!
This'll add one more hit to your combo; or, if you are powered up (which I'll
speak of in a later section), you'll normally get THREE more tres-cool
looking hits!
So overall: with regard to combo Endings, they can be put in after
ANY autosecond, the opening moves with "end" after them in the autosecond
list, and linkers with "end" after them in the autosecond list. Linkers
may be done after the first autosecond, or an opening with "linker" after
it in the autosecond list. Autoseconds may be done after anything but other
autoseconds, if you know which ones to use.
In closing, here's the basic (longest) combo sequence we have so far:
Opening, autosecond, linker, autosecond, Ending, juggle. You can also shift
this a little by bringing the Ending up earlier or doing the linker right
after the Opening (sometimes). Using this, you can do ALL the basic combos
of any character! At first learn only a few combos, but as you get better
with practice, learn to vary what you do so your opponent NEVER knows how
to break!
Ah, yes, there are two more types of Endings that are a little more
secret. One is an Ultra, the other is an Ultimate. Both may ONLY be done
when your opponent's on his second life bar and it's flashing. (It doesn't
need to be flashing when you start the combo, only when you do the Ultra or
Ultimate Ending). Both end not only the combo, but your opponent. The
Ultimate does a Danger Move right at the end of the combo. The Ultra,
however, is a whopping 18-hit Ending that looks AWESOME! Nothing makes
your opponent look more beat than a good, swift kick... then another one...
then a flip kick into 5 jabs, a slam, another few kicks, a sword slash or
two, and an uppercut. :) Ultras are what make this game... well, Killer
Instinct. You'll find the Ultra and Ultimate moves in the character
profiles.
Enjoy, and remember: Practice makes perfect.
Now, I can't tell you like I did above how to put together your own
advanced combos. They are VERY irregular; certainly not subject to any
pattern I could name. But here are a few tips to reduce the breakability
of your combos and do other weirdness.
1) Sometimes you can hit a person with a normal move before doing
your Opening. You might have to do the Opening fast; and, also, if you do
this the combo will often end on the coming autosecond or linker. But it's
a good way to start combos, especially against the computer.
2) You can start combos with Top Attacks, too. Do the Top Attack,
then an Opening. The same problems as above apply, however.
3) Instead of using an autosecond, you can very often use just one
normal attack. It'll only give you one hit, but that portion of the combo
is not breakable. In a VERY FEW cases, you can put 2 or even more normal
moves together as a combo! (Jago and Eyedol)
4) If your combo DOES end on an autosecond or linker, often you can
still do an air juggle! This actually ends up looking as neat as Endings
in some cases! I'll tell you which air juggles can be done like this in the
Air Juggle profile section. These special air juggles are sometimes in slow
motion, too...
5) End your combos with regular moves or non-Ending special moves
rather than Endings. Again, you can sometimes Air Juggle after these. Also,
these can't be broken.
6) Sometimes you CAN put more than one linker into a combo. Notable
cases are T.J. Combo and Cinder.
7) Sometimes you can put another Opening right into the middle of the
combo! Orchid, Riptor and Combo are very good at this. You normally can't
have as long a combo follow, however, or it'll end suddenly on another
autosecond or linker. (It's like there's a counter determining how many
portions of a combo of whatever type you may have.)
8) Sometimes you can just insert a normal move or two between two
portions of a combo! Often VERY hard, this is how you get a few extra hits
like in Jago's 30-hitter. In Orchid's case, you can even insert some SPECIAL
moves! Timing is critical here... normally, you must push the button exactly
when you want the hit to happen.
9) Almost any combo Endings (not just Jago's!) may become Turbo if
you hold the button down while doing the motion, and then release, rather
than doing the motion and pushing the button. Sometimes the difference is
small, sometimes great. (Glacius's h3,D-F+r3 Ending comes to mind)
10) When an autosecond is going to end a combo, if you do the Turbo
version of an Ending motion BETWEEN the 1st and 2nd hits of the autosecond,
you'll usually get either: a missed combo Ending (still does the ending, but
misses the opponent with it), or a Slow-Motion combo Ending (only a few
Endings do this, but the ones that do look awesome!). Also, you can put an
Ultra in there for either a missed Ultra (neat!) or an Air Ultra (for Thunder
and Combo - MEGA neat!), where the opponent is being hit in the air.
11) Sometimes after a very strange normal hit put into a combo, if
you delay the ending until the last second, you'll also get a Slow-Motion or
missed Ending. I have one such combo for Glacius.
12) If you miss by about a 10th of a second for a linker, it'll do
the linker move as the BEGINNING of a combo for many characters! This adds
a few extra hits, and is how combos like Thunder's 38 are achieved. In
my Combo section I show small combos that are easy to miss the linker with
at the beginning of the missed-linker combos. However, note that if you
do the linker too quickly, you WILL accidentally keep the combo together - be
careful not to.
This is what the announcer calls out after you've done a combo of a
certain number of hits.
3 hit - Triple Combo 8 hit - Awesome Combo
4 hit - Super Combo 9 hit - Blaster Combo
5 hit - Hyper Combo 10 hit - Monster Combo
6 hit - Brutal Combo 11 hit - King Combo
7 hit - Master Combo 12+ hit - Killer Combo
xx hit - Ultra (echoing) (After doing an Ultra)
xx hit - Ultimate (echoing) (after doing an Ultimate)
These are the high scores that the SNES version comes with
automatically. If you want to get your name in first, this is what you'll
have to beat! (Push left and select at any point in the title sequences to
get to the high scores). Sadly, every time you reset or turn off the power,
your high scores are lost...
Speed Demons (fastest win): SJP 0:15.00
Winning Streak (most consecutive wins): MB 25
Killer Kings (highest score): MRY 500000
Combo City (highest combo for each character):
Jago LOU 30
T.J.Combo CTS 36
Spinal GAV 27
Thunder RSR 33
Glacius GN 29
Fulgore DEB 30
Cinder FAY 33
Sabrewulf JAN 31
Orchid TIM 48
Riptor KAL 30
Eyedol JMH, SH , JR , EIL, CAR 03
To get to the high scores, either wait for 30 seconds at the title
screen after you've got an entry in it, considerably longer if you don't,
or simply push left and select at any point in the title sequence. :)
You can choose your character by pushing left and right. You can
choose his COLOR, however, by pushing up and down. There are 8 different
color schemes for each character.
To do Random Select, where the computer randomly picks your character
for you, push up and start.
To select the stage you wish to fight on (can't be done in 1-Player
mode), push up or down and a certain button to select your character. Which
button you used and direction you pushed to select him determines where
you'll go. (See next section for which go where). In 2-Player or Tournament
mode, the first person to choose picks the stage. The second player chooses
the stage MUSIC. (ie, you can get to the Lava Pit with the music of
Glacius's stage if the first person to choose does D+3 and the second U+1)
If the first player to pick does NOT choose a stage, it is random (and you
could get one of the 3 non-selectable stages, too). If the second player
does not pick music, the music matches the stage (obviously). Unfortunately,
if you choose Random Select you cannot pick a stage.
In Tournament mode, push select while choosing characters to get a
menu that lets you modify options, change the Tournament players, or leave
Tournament mode.
The two secret stages may ONLY be arrived at by selecting the stage -
they'll never come up randomly.
The Sky Rooftop stage may only be reached from 2-player or Tournament
mode; BOTH players must use D+5 to select their character. This is the most
fun stage in the game because you can knock your opponent off the edge at
ANY time!! :)
Unfortunately, these stages are unselectable: Jago's stage, T.J.
Combo's stage, and Eyedol's Castle stage.
These are codes that are entered on the screen showing the two
characters' pictures. You should do them only AFTER the announcer says
"Fight On", so that you don't end the screen accidentally. You can't do
any of these in Practice mode. You can do all or some of these at a time,
if you're fast enough. :)
"C-C-C-Combo Breaker!" This code makes combo breakers easier; after
you've entered the code you can break combos with ANY of the 3 buttons,
rather than having to be concerned about what your opponent's using. To do
it, push down and start. Only one player needs to do it, and the change
affects both people. This is the same as temporarily setting "Easy Combo
Breakers" to On in the Options screen.
Different speeds of play. These let you speed up or slow down the
rate at which the game is played. In 2-player or Tournament, both players
must enter the code for a specific speed (so agree on it ahead of time),
while in 1-player mode you only need to do it yourself. For slow motion,
hold left and all three kicks. For slight turbo, hold right and all three
punches. For turbo, hold right and all three kicks. For MEGA turbo, hold
left and all three punches. You'll hear a swish or hit sound if you've
done it properly.
"Eyedol!" Yup, you can play as him! If you've got Cinder, you can
hold right and push 1,4,3,5,2,6 to become Eyedol! Only the player changing
needs to do the code. Both players can become Eyedol if they want... Oooooh
boy... :)
Options screen. If you push select, you'll get to go to the options
screen to change your controller configuration and options just before the
fight starts. Only the player who pushed select can change the options; the
other player can only change his controller configuration. The nice thing
about this is that in Tournament mode the game remembers the configuration
for each player!
I already said it, but I don't want anyone asking again, so it bears
repeating. Pick Cinder, and when the announcer says "Fight On!", hold right
and push 1,4,3,5,2,6.
Top attacks are attacks that will hit your opponent if they're
crouching, even if they're blocking. This is to prevent people from holding
down and block the entire fight. You can start combos out of a top attack
by doing the Opening right after, but the combo sometimes can't be as long.
To do a top attack, push B+3 when your opponent is crouching.
To FAKE a top attack (to lure your opponent into trying a quick
move), push B+2 when your opponent is crouching.
Yes, on the 4 rooftop stages, you can knock your opponent off the
edge at the end of the match! There are a few ways to do this:
1) Do a combo that takes the last bit of the person's energy and
sends 'em forward a bit. If they fly off the edge, well, arrivaderci. :)
2) If they're standing near the edge when the announcer says
"Danger", do a special move that knocks them backwards a little, and, well,
sayonara. :)
3) Of course, the best way is to end with an Ultra. Some Ultras
don't push the character forward very much, so must be done near the edge;
some, like Cinder's, can be started from ANYWHERE, and, well, au revoir. :)
Note that in the secret Sky rooftop stage (see 6b and 6c) you can
knock them off in the ways above at ANY time, not just the end!!! Fun!!
If you hit your opponent with several normal moves (not part of a
combo) in a row with you doing practically nil to them, then he may become
dizzied. When this happens you'll see him convulse and he won't be able to
move. Set up your best combo opening and let him have it!
If YOU'RE the unlucky one who's been dizzied, you can speed up your
recovery by spinning the control pad and pushing buttons rapidly. You'll see
the character begin to convulse faster when you do this. It takes about 8
convulses before you recover from dizzying.
Hooooo-boy. If you really want to get your friends to hate you, read
on. :)
After the announcer says "Danger", you might think that you are dead.
Well, do nothing, or get hit by your opponent (or have him do a Danger Move)
and you are. However, if your opponent takes too long to set up a Danger
Move or hit you, you can break out of the Danger state for one last try at
killing them!
To do this, as soon as you start convulsing in "Danger", rotate the
control pad and push buttons rapidly (just like a dizzy). If you do it fast
enough, you'll break out of the Danger state! (I think it takes 7 convulses
in this case).
When you have this "Last Breath", you only have enough energy to
barely survive. If your opponent hits you once, or you block a special move,
you're REALLY toast this time. (However, he doesn't get the pleasure of a
Danger Move :) ) So what use is it? Well, you do over TWICE your normal
damage when in the "Last Breath" state! Fulgore's standing close 6 takes
away half their bar! ONE combo is normally enough to obliterate the poor
guy! However, if the person you're playing with is a) stronger than you,
b) bigger than you, or c) your boss, I don't recomment doing "Last Breath".
It tends to turn people homicidal if you beat them after "dying"...
grin>
You can become powered up in several ways during the fight. If you
do this, then the white bit at the end of your life bar will start flashing.
You'll then have several special moves that are new and improved. To do the
powered-up versions, hold the button down as you do the motion (ie, do
h2,DF-DB+r2 rather than DF-DB+2). These are usually faster, and do more
damage than the regular moves. (These are followed by a shadow in the arcade
version, but alas, not here) In this version I don't show any moves that
require powering up (except Sabrewulf's and Spinal's...)
Every character except Eyedol can get powered up. To become powered
up, all you have to do is break a combo. Easy, huh? (ha ha) :) Sabrewulf's
Howl powers him up, as well, and Spinal's Power Devour gives him Skulls to
power him up. (More on Spinal in his profile) These two are the only
characters that can LOSE their powered-up status. Sabrewulf does it by
connecting with a powered-up Sabreroll or Sabrespin. Spinal does it by
throwing projectiles.
One more thing: when a character is powered up, air juggles do 3 hits
rather than 1! This happens for everyone except Spinal; you simply throw as
many Skulls as you can to juggle your opponent with him. This is how you do
many of the maximum Ultra combos...
Well, we all know how to do a Danger Move when the announcer yells
"Danger!" (if not, read the manual). However, you can do a special type of
Danger Move called a Humiliation if and ONLY if you are still on your first
bar of life after killing the opponent! They are done as a Danger Move
(though they require no specific distance to work) Your opponent will start
dancing, and you'll get a big "HUMILIATION" at the character win screen...
just to rub it in...
If you do a Danger Move, a Humiliation, or an Ultimate combo to
finish off your opponent, you'll get an "Awesome victory" at the character
win screen. If you do an Ultra, or nothing but you're still on your first
energy bar after killing your opponent, you'll get a "Supreme victory". If
you don't do anything to your opponent and you're in your second bar of
life, you won't even GET a character win screen. :(
If you absolutely rule at the game, and have lost absolutely NO
energy when you toasted your opponent, at the character win screen the
announcer will shout out "PERFECT!" for the world to hear. People's entire
reputations have been created or destroyed by the utterance of a single
"PERFECT!". Really. I'm serious.
Spinal has 6 combo Endings with each character. He temporarily
morphs into the opponent and delivers one of his endings. His morph Endings
are D,D+A: and here I'll show you the button pushed, what ending it
corresponds to for the character, and how many hits the ending is (plus "end"
or "air", depending on whether or not you may juggle afterwards).
Note: If you do the Turbo version of Spinal's Ending (ie, h5,D,D+r5),
it will do the Turbo combo Ending for the character. Also, if you use any
of these Turbo endings in Spinal's slow-motion combo, you'll get either that
character's slow-motion ending, or a missed ending.
These will give you the motions for all the special moves of a
character. Many of them give you the choice of ANY punch or ANY kick to
do a move... which one you use normally dictates the speed or distance of
the move (as well as the autoseconds which can follow the Openings).
In addition, there are what are called Transition Moves. These are
Special Moves that START as one move but end as another. This can often
really surprise your opponent! This is shown by an indented dash just
below the move, then the name of the move it's being turned into. After
that will be a description of the full move to do the transition, if it's
non-standard. If the starting move can be followed by the regular motions of
the transition move, I'll just leave it at the name or listing of names.
There are a few things I'll tell you about the moves, as well. Some
of the moves are projectiles, which are basically objects you create that
move across the screen and damage your opponent. There are normal
projectiles, and two special projectiles. I'll tell you whether a move is
either a projectile, or a special projectile.
In addition, some moves go THROUGH normal projectiles, some special
projectiles only, and some all projectiles. I'll tell you if they do this,
too. If I don't tell you, assume they can be hit by projectiles. Oh yeah,
and two of the special moves reflect projectiles, too.
Finally, some moves are done in the air. I'll tell you this, too.
Here I'll tell you how many hits the autosecond with each button
does. In addition I specify the directions that must be held with certain
of the autoseconds. You can use this to count up the hits you'll estimate
a combo has, too. The number of hits are in brackets.
These are the special moves (given as motions, not by name) that can
begin a combo. I show the special move, followed by the number of hits that
it does in brackets. Then an arrow points to the autoseconds that can be
done out of the move. Also, I list "end" or "linker" if you can do an Ending
or linker out of that Opening. Remember, though, that you can also use
jump-ins to begin a combo.
This is where I show the person's combo linker(s). Same format as
the Openers, really - I list the number of hits, the autoseconds that may
follow, and whether you can do an ending.
Here's where I show all of the combo Ending moves for the character.
I have, in the brackets, the number of hits the Ending adds, followed by
"end" if it knocks the opponent down right away, or "air" if it's possible
to air juggle the person after. Note that the turbo versions of the Endings
are done by holding the button down through the motion. Also, note that
Jago's F-D-DF+3 ending can do EITHER 3 or 4 hits, depending on circumstances.
The Ultimate motion for the character. You do this as a combo
Ending, and only when your opponent's life is on its second bar and flashing.
This will do a Danger Move in place of a combo Ending. A description of the
Danger Move follows the movement.
The Ultra motion for the character. You do this as a combo Ending,
and only when your opponent's life is on its second bar and flashing. This
will do a whopping 18-hit ending! It also fries your opponent. I give the
number of hits (18), followed by whether it knocks you into the air or ends
the combo, in the brackets.
The motion for the character that will juggle the person after having
done a combo Ending with "air" in it. It will add 1 hit to the combo, or 3
(normally) if the character is powered up. These require timing and practice
to hit! Some of them may follow autoseconds that end the combo, too; I'll
tell you which ones.
Tells you the two or three Danger Move motions for each character.
In brackets is the distance that you must be, in terms of a fraction of the
screen. 0 means right next to the opponent, 1 means as far away as possible.
A description is also provided. Note that for those characters with really
far fatalities, you can hit the opponent with a projectile just before you
start your Danger Move or Humiliation. :)
A Danger Move that can only be done if you're still on your first bar
of life after wasting your opponent. It'll make them dance, and you'll get
a "HUMILIATION" on the character win screen. Distance does not matter, so
I haven't provided it. :)
This is the Combo Breaker move that the character uses. As it says
in the instruction book, you must use a Fierce to break if your opponent is
currently using a Quick, Medium for Fierce, and Quick for Medium. So if your
Combo Breaker move is B,F+P, and your opponent is currently using 5 in his
combo, you can break with B,F+1. If you've got "Easy Combo Breakers" turned
on in Options, or have done the "C-C-C-Combo Breaker" code, then Combo
Breakers can break combos using ANY of the 3 choices.
A move that is done while you are getting up from a fall. VERY
useful to get away or retaliate if your opponent is nearby. Just push the
movement as you are standing up. If your opponent is standing next to you,
he'll be hit.
If you are both in the air and you connect with a hit, you can VERY
quickly get a second hit in by doing this movement. The button you use in
the movement depends on what you connected with. If you used Fierce to hit,
use Medium in the Air Combo move. Medium requires Quick, and Quick requires
Fierce. So if your Air Combo move is F,B+K, and you connect in the air with
a 4, push F,B+6 for a quick second hit.
The good stuff! Warning: Only try if you consider yourself a VERY
advanced player. I can't really convey the timing required, so often you'll
have to use your experience and trial and error to get the combos to work.
These are basically unusual, weird, and/or tricky combos that will impress
your friends but usually are not of much use in regular play. Beginning the
section is the maximum Ultra combo and maximum regular combo known for each
character. This is how you'll get on the high score list in 1st place! Then
follow a bunch of weird combos. Ending the section are some Slow-Motion
combos. You can substitute the regular Slow-Motion combo Endings for either
other Endings or an Ultra for a missed Ending or Ultra. (The missed Endings
are kinda funny. The missed Ultras are a riot!!)
Basically I start out with an (in air) if you must be in the air to
start the combo (though the second hit will ALWAYS be on the ground). Then
I give the combo motion itself for you to slug through. Finally, I give the
number of hits in my intended combo (though sometimes if you have improper
timing you can end up with a different number. Try to get my given number
of hits...) The number may be in two parts. The first is the number of hits
you can get normally, and the second is the number of hits you can get if
you're powered up. So (15/17 hits) means you can get 15 hits without being
powered up, or 17 if you are.
Finally, just to sum up: The (known) maximum number of hits that that
character can EVER do is the powered-up Maximum Ultra. The (known) maximum
number of hits that can be done in Practice mode is the non-powered-up
Maximum Normal. (Except Sabrewulf, who can power up in Practice mode)

After you win the game at each difficulty setting you'll get a
different winning sequence. Some of them have the character's ending that
you're using; some of them also have the credits. All of them have text.
So here are the 6 different difficulty level endings:
Difficulty Level 1:
You have successfully conquered the training level. There is more to
be seen, and more to be done. Return to the option screen and change the
difficulty setting to **
Better hurry, a new foe is waiting for your pitiful challenge!
Difficulty Level 2:
Congratulations, you have defeated Ultratech's low end, garbage,
obsolete, floor model, weak, on the verge of extinction, barely mobile, only
can do a 5 hit combo, pathetic, yesterday's news end boss.
I hope you're happy with yourself!
Maybe you should up the stakes for a real challenge.
Difficulty Level 3:
Excellent job, you have proven yourself as a true KI player.
Ultratech has been defeated, and all is well with the world.
Right? Wrong of course!?! You don't know anything about your
character.
What really happens in the end?
If you are good enough, these questions will be answered.
Same Super NES,
same Super NES game,
different difficulty level.
[CREDITS]
Difficulty Level 4:
[CHARACTER ENDING]
Congratulations, you have earned it!
You can play through again with a different character to see what
happens to them, or you can prove your skills on a higher level.
You're not afraid to get hurt, are you?
[CREDITS]
Difficulty Level 5:
[CHARACTER ENDING]
You have finally proven your skills as a true KI master, but you have
yet to earn your reward. Your reward will be a secret surprise that will
only be given to the best, the elite, the ultimate KI fighter.
You know what to do, put the hurt on the next difficulty level.
Do you have what it takes, or are you not worthy?
[CREDITS]
Difficulty Level 6:
[CHARACTER ENDING]
You are victorious! You've done it all and are ready to battle the
best KI players. You beat Eyedol with one hand behind your back, and you
crushed everyone else. You can't get any better, you are now the Sensei.
The only thing left is to give to the less fortunate and teach your skills to
the pathetic, wimpy, clueless KI beginners. You will go down in the record
books, become a hero, a legend, be envied by all, people will fear you,
people will love you, people will want to be like you, you will reign as the
true KI champion forever!
Or at least until...
Killer Instinct II
Well done, you are indeed a
true warrior!
You are now allowed to possess
Killer Instinct's
most valuable secret!
To become Eyedol:
Choose Cinder, hold > & press WP,WK,FP,MK,MP,FK at vs page.

For each character, if you win the game at difficulty setting 4 or
higher, you will get a short cinema scene and some text. Here is the text
for winning with each character: (NOTE: if you'd like to see all of the
endings yourself, don't read on...)
EYEDOL:
"Billy... Are you my long lost son Billy?..."
"Why would I be your son?... My name's Eyedol."
"My son was lost in a car crash... I gave him that club for his
birthday....."
"Somehow.......... we don't think so."
BLACK ORCHID:
Escaping unscathed with vital information about the corrupt future
plans of Ultratech, Orchid rushes back to report.
Informing her superiors of Ultratech's evil intentions, they can now
act in bringing about the destruction of the corruption presiding there.
CINDER:
Leaving as the champion of the tournament, a hostile police reception
awaits him outside the gates of Ultratech.
As no stranger to confinement from his former life of crime, Cinder
has no intention of being imprisoned again.
Using his newly acquired power, he easily evades the capture attempt,
leaving his potential captors in his wake.
Picking a location suitable for his current condition, he ponders his
next move.
CHIEF THUNDER:
After discovering the fate of his brother, Thunder contemplates the
future and mourns the loss of Eagle.
But, with his death avenged, the soul of Eagle can finally rest in
peace forever.
Or can it...?
FULGORE:
The combat test of the Fulgore series assault cyborg has been a
success.
Mass production can now take place...
After years of research, a weapon of awesome power is in the hands
of Ultratech.
The dawn of a robot-controlled empire will soon begin.
The first prototype model, Fulgore 1, is deactivated and placed in a
museum. The only humans left to view it are now slaves.
GLACIUS:
After escaping from the grasp of Ultratech, Glacius finally returns
to the site of his crashed spaceship.
With the advanced technology present at Ultratech, Glacius takes the
materials he needs and repairs his damaged ship.
With memories of the evil he faced there fading slowly, Glacius
begins the long and arduous trip back to his homeworld.
JAGO:
Jago returns victorious to his shrine for communion with the Tiger
spirit.
By defeating the evil that existed at Ultratech, Jago is brought one
step closer towards total enlightenment.
Granted new powers for his loyal service, Jago strives for self
improvement. He must now seek out a greater challenge and fulfill his
destiny.
RIPTOR:
Ultratech's plans at creating a genetically engineered weapon have
escalated beyond even their control.
By toying with the laws of nature, Ultratech have finally doomed the
human race... dinosaurs once again rule the Earth.
SABREWULF:
With victory, Sabrewulf obtains the cure he sought for so long from
the hands of Ultratech.
Cured at last of his curse, Count von Sabrewulf can return to leading
a normal existence.
SPINAL:
Tired of constantly being surrounded by death and destruction, Spinal
decides on a career break...
Although nominated for an Oscar for his first film, Spinal still has
great difficulty finding roles that have meat to them.
T.J. COMBO:
With victory in the tournament, Combo has finally achieved his
ambition to regain his lost fortune and popular status.
Once a nobody from the ghetto, Combo celebrates his win and new found
wealth by parading through those same streets.
With money and fame at his side, Combo believes he can achieve
anything.
These were taken from several sources; credit is given at the end of
this FAQ to most of the people who created these.

First of all, special thanks to Steven Gilbreath for his very
complete Arcade KI FAQ, from which I got most of the special and Danger
moves. Also, thanks to Brian L. Smolik for his good (though somewhat
inaccurate) Arcade KI FAQ, from which I got the idea of giving basic combo
information under all of the characters. Thank you to Charlie Grey for the
idea of using some moves before a combo to "fake" the CPU into doing a
linker at the start (from which I derived Fulgore's, Chief Thunder's,
Riptor's, and Sabrewulf's longest Ultras. He also gave me Spinal's longest).
Thanks to Ricky Montoya for the listing of the Killer Cuts tracks. Oh, and
thanks to araya@aol.com for most of the given Slow-Motion combos and the
Air Ultras to extend Combo's Ultra, and which I used to stretch Thunder's
Ultras even further.
Here is a listing of some of those I owe credit to, with no
particular order (or is there? Mwa ha ha...):
