For a first attempt at the genre it was pretty cool. Also it feels like one of the most 90s games ever. Say something nice about it.

the fact this game came on a black cartridge and came with a cd of the soundtrack was fucking awesome

As a kid I thought it was impossible to master. After revisiting KI2 as an adult I realize it was basic dial-a-combo shite with the openers/linkers/finishers system, all style no substance.

Still better gameplay than MK in my opinion but ultimately not as great as SF/KOF/sega/namco fighters. It's in the World Heroes tier

Based low IQ anon doesn’t know how to into manuals and why autos are a stepping stone to one-frame links (as in every other fighting game) but that still didn’t stop this chad anon from posting his uninformed opinion.

I thought this game was shit most of my life but these days I find it has a lot of kitsch value the same way Primal Rage does.

I think that it still has a lot of substance, and it is the best non-japanese fighting game, at least of the retro era.
>Still better gameplay than MK in my opinion
This is a no brainer, MK's gameplay is quite poor, KI follows more the traditional SF school while adding its personal flavor to it.
As a kid I loved both, as a teen I lumped KI along with all the shitty western fighting games just because it was western and not animu-looking, then I played Ki again and realized it's actually good.

Fortunately it's not expensive, I remember seeing it for $5 on discogs. Of course not the same as your very own childhood copy but you can still get it if you want, great CD.

I always thought Orchid's tits looked fucking weird even as a kid. I was like, yeah, I get what you're trying to do, big boobie good, but wtf are THOSE?

[Anonymous No.9010602]

>>9010345

Yeah me too. They did better in the sequel (though there were still problems, mainly with necks and faces). I mean she's still hot even in the first game, but... you have to be willing to discard some of what your eyes are telling you, to be attracted to her.

[Anonymous No.9012342]

>>9010345
Even back then people would joke about early 3D models tits, i.e. Lara Croft.
But they're still titties, I don't discriminate.
Orchid was much more attractive in KI1 than 2 for me. Not that she was ugly in 2, she had a great ass, but her Janet Jackson face never did it for me the way her KI1 more asian face did.
But Ki2 has Kim.

[Anonymous No.9013450]

I love early CG and I loved the extreme 90s style KI had. I agree it's the most 90s game ever, I dont think any reboot could ever do it justice since it'd need that same 90s energy that could only be unironically enjoyed in the 90s. That's why the reboot failed.

[Anonymous No.9013527]

The graphics were awesome looking for the time. I remember renting games since I couldn't afford them my cousin got this an sucked at games so I got to sit down and play it for them while they watched. It's easier than mortal kombat for single player but probably not quite as good as tekken. Really for the time period Tobal#1 was a lot better. The game is probably too easy till you get to boss levels.

The arcade version is miles better than the SNES

[Anonymous No.9016061]

>>9010345
Same. Something about her being all alone in that fmv, the lighting, and the geometrically unique tits just made it odd.
I’m okay with the character design in both games etc but her boob anatomy is weird.

no shit namefag, the arcade was state of the art tech at the time and the SNES was late 80s hardware, but the gameplay was kept intact and even was tweaked to be more balanced.

Didn't this have an arcade cabinet? If so, I think I've played this at the mall's arcade.

this game has one of the worst character designs i have ever seen. who the fuck made these stupid characters

[Anonymous No.9021847]

The combos filtered me hard, as a kid the basic idea of Rare prerendered 3d characters fighting eachother sells you on it but when you actually have the controller in your hands you realize it's some sort of elaborate rhythm game.

Good try at an original gameplay concept (fighting game centered around extended combinations), good soundtrack, could play as a werewolf.
Some of the game concepts were hit-or-miss, but that's to be expected.

It was the first game that I ever saw a copywrite protection screen for when I tried using it with the game genie and it scared the shit out of me and I thought I was going to get arrested so I started inconsolably crying until my older brother asked what was wrong and told me I'm a dumbass.

Rare is a British studio, girls in the UK either have huge fat knockers that hang down to their stomach or like a c-cup that points off in weird directions.
