I think so, and Killer Instinct is one of the main reasons I preordered an Xbox One.

As a fighting game it was horrible. Worse than Mortal Kombat mechanically speaking, and MK was plenty bad in its own right.

It was such a great fighting game, with such deep yet easy to grasp mechanics, with such a compelling character roster, that sold so well that it took 17 years for a sequel to get green lit.

Excluding Smash Bros, Killer Instinct on the SNES was probably my favorite fighting game ever.

Pulling off those 8+ hit combos was so damn satisying. Not even gonna go into the Ultra combo

:lol: Not even close. I can think of numerous fighting games that are better. SoulCalibur, DOA, SF, MK, KOF, Tekken, Guilty Gear, Virtua Fighter series are much much better fighting games IMO.

Killer Instinct wasn't even relevant back when people actually cared about fighters.

I may sound like a weaboo here, but the truth is that I have never enjoyed fighting games made by western developers.

I think the best ever fighting games were mortal kombat, the iconic characters such as scorpion and sub-zero will be forever remembered, and of course...FATALITY!!

I always loved it, definitely one of the best.  If I eventually pick up a 1 I'll likely grab the game.

No, it was an average game back in the day and I expect it will be below average today. It was in the same league as Eternal Champions and Kasumi Ninja. Not anywhere near the level of Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat or Samurai Showdown.

Mortal Kombat is probably my favorite, but I recognize that Street Fighter is likely the best in the sense of tournaments and such.  KI aint even close.  Oh adn I loved Soul Calibur II!
