Killer Instinct is pretty cool, but learning a new fighting game can be overwhelming. Maybe you're confused. Or maybe you're just curious about how the game works. |
| Don't worry, you've come to the right place. |  |
 |
This guide is a teaching aid for the game. I use embedded video and hoverable linksThese caption boxes will define terms, outline small exceptions to rules, and discuss other interesting facts. Be sure to hover over one when you see it! to explain every concept about KI from the ground up. |
| I might use language familiar to Street Fighter players sometimes. But if that's not you, don't panic. This guide is useful for players of all experience levels. |  |

Basics
|
How to move around, play basic offense and defense, and why you might want to do these things. You should probably start here. |
|
Meter
|
Sometimes you get to do extra flashy stuff. I explain that here. |
|
Combos
|
KI has a pretty unique combo system, with a few weird terms. Just to be sure, I go through it all very thoroughly. |
|
Combo Breakers
|
If someone is hitting you with a long combo, you get to clear your throat and remind them you're still playing. But it's a bit risky! |
