Killer Instinct has made a comeback, but back in the day it was one of many fighters crowding arcades across the country. So what set ita part? ULTRAAAAA COMBOOOOOOS. Plus stacking life bars and some other nifty mechanics. This week, Shack's Arcade Corner takes a look back at this unique fighter.

        Very nice man loved it this was your best coverage yet(full coverage nice), was that you playing btw? if yes you got skillz :) I dug you showed like everything.

        Man KI 1 is my fav you can really see how much content is missing from KI3 on XB1 and its such a shame the base of KI3 is epic it could easily been the best KI. If only they had full 3D backgrounds not flat cardboard stuff, add No Mercies juiced up, and added back projectiles and more moves to certain chars that are missing some key stuff.

        Anyways I am a fan of booth but KI was freaking crazy when I first saw it in the Arcade that type of shock value and "holy shit!" was not felt when I first played KI3. At least you have to say one thing KI3 feels really damn good(like awesome) and very close to KI so I guess that is what counts.

        Good job man.
