Game 260 - Killer Instinct (1994/95)
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/c/c0f07a84.jpg
not the 2013 one

7.5/10

Really good roster. The gameplay wasn't super smooth, but it was still fun to play.

6

5.2

The music was pretty great. The roster and overall presentation were really fun. Loved the announcer with the combos. But man the actual game without all that stuff is super clunky.

Yeah, I think I give the game probably a higher score than it deserves because the presentation is so good (and for being maybe the first fighting game story that was actually interesting within the game itself, meaning it didn't require secondary lore to beef it out).

5

yeah, pretty much everything besides the actual fighting is pretty awesome. but I think the actual fighting is just so rough, especially compared to a lot of the fighting games that came out around the same time.

5

5.5

4/10 - great presentation, but man the gameplay was kinda terrible

also if this is still going nominate Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3

6

9 off music, presentation and just vibes alone. Yeah it doesn't play spectacularly well but I still love it lol

4

8.5

I had some good fun with this back in the day.

6.3

9/10

Probably the best fighter that wasn't SF2 on the SNES, and perhaps better gameplay than in the arcade.

Did you play any of the SNK fighters on the SNES cause they're all easily much better.

I'd also take MK2 over it pretty easily but I can see why one wouldn't
