For anyone curious, this is a real SNES running KI but the audio was modified to be HQ versions of the songs. These are known as MSU-1 mods, allowing certain carts able to run much higher quality music/audio and other cool stuff.

damn that's sick
Ah i see, i was wondering why the music sounded so different.
Can you explain how ai works & how it's evolved?
And you can run it on emulators! bsnes and higan work wonders
I was just about to ask if it was black cartridge or grey, thanks for the heads-up!
Max you remind me of why I love fighting games it's because I had fun with them and not trying to be better than anyone... I'm always going to be a fan of you... keep up the content
Fr. I may not be amazing at them but I’m gonna enjoy the hell out of them.
I'm better than very few, if any people lol
I suck at fighting games but I love the hell out of them. I own 80+ of them lol
@Dimitrius Medina I have 1 on XB1 (3 if you count the classic KI's separately from the newest KI), 2 on SNES, 1 on PS5 and the rest on PS1, 2, 3 and PS4.
I've pre-ordered KOF15 and paid it all off.
this game was my first introduction to fighting games and it absolutely mesmerized me. the soundtrack, the announcer, the visuals, the cast, everything was just amazing. playing against my brothers, who were godlike, as a wee lad were some of my favorite memories and made me want to graduate from just mashing buttons so i could do the sick shit they were doing. this game to this today is still my favorite fighting game and one of my favorite games of all time
also FUCK eyedol, taunting ass with those fucking stomps. his death is one of the most satisfying ends for a final boss
I got in the Practice Mode and went to work
Not gonna lie, I got slapped with huge wave of nostalgia. I remember my older sister owning this when I was 5 years old.
This and Street Fighter II Turbo were not only my introduction to fighting games, but video games as a whole.
Seeing you react to the return of KI back in 2013 made me so happy because not many people I knew played this game growing up. It was one of the main reasons why I subbed to you back then, and I'm glad to see you since.
to think this was one of the first games that brought us the max we know to this day
I’m nothing but grateful for KI, always will be
This game holds one of the biggest spots in my heart. It was quite literally the first game i ever played. I played it with my older brother almost every day.
Fun story, (I'm 24 now) when I was in high school i was part of a gaming club and our teacher who ran the club brought in his SNES with KI. I hadn't touched the game in over a decade by this point. I started playing with one of my friends and my hands quite literally started moving in ways I didn't know they could for this game and i performed Cinder's Ultra Combo. Truly a special game lol
Cinder ultra is the only one I remember by muscle memory lol
This was my first competitive, learn everything, know all the characters fighting game, too. No strategy guide, no internet, just figuring out what chains to what, until you get it.
Per generation, it was this, MK3. Then SFA3 and SSB. Oh, those were the days.
Shared consoles, figuring out whose bringing the cart, disc and console, all chip in for pizza, and after school clubs.
The original FGC.
I find it hilarious that Max was basically the villain in a kids movie back in 1995-6. Think about it, this one kid who comes in a mops the floor with everyone, that everyone would cheer the defeat of? That's the bad guy in those stock films that amount to Karate Kid knock-offs.
I can relate to Max a lot here. I remember playing Killer Instinct for the first time back when I was still in kindergarten and my uncle and a friend of my mom introduced me to it. I still remember the late Saturday nights playing it in my pajamas, trying to learn the Ultras and “fatalities”. I wasn’t exactly the best at it, but it’s absolutely one of the games that not only kindled my interest in fighting games, it also constantly brings me the nostalgia of my early youth of how so incredibly fun video games were.
Great memories of playing this at the mall arcade, often against the teenage girl they employed to make change when the change machines weren't working (she always picked Sabrewulf). I loved this game as much for its crazy CGi characters as for the wild-yet-structured combo system, and I always hoped that one day we'd see games that could give us characters like that rendered in real-time. And what do you know- we did!
“Max approved dope ass game”
YES, YES IT IS MAXIMILIAN.
I remember one time that, in the Hobby Shop that I used to go to play YuGiOh and such, one person brought their SNES to the shop with KI.
Understand, this was almost 20 years after the SNES era! Seeing a working SNES was rare! So all on the shop started playing!
I WIPED THE FLOOR ON EVERYONE!!!! I was a monster with Fulgore!! I still remembered how to play the character, even after all these years!!
I finished the final fight I played with a FATALITY!! The shop exploded with HYPE!!!
It’s something I’ll never forget…..
That is like so ULTRA badass and HYPE holy SHIT!
Man I still have this game for the snes fulgore was one of my favorites he was like a cyborg Predator (the alien ones not the EDP ones)
My uncle got a snes and had street fighter 2, mortal kombat 3 and a black KI cartridge. I can’t remember when Max said it but he mentioned in terms of the character roster, he felt like KI did what MK wanted to, but better.
Kid Max: Who's ready to play Killer Instinct
One person: Y'all ready to take on the boss
I love the Killer Instinct games, with KI 2013 being my favorite. I'm terrible at doing flashy combos like every one else, but that never stopped me from playing the game. One if my fondest memories was playing at my friend's house while we're all trying to figure out how to do Ultra Combooooos!! For me, it was listening to that awesome soundtrack!
Max over here reminiscing bringing up nostalgic I remember hosting a killer instinct fight club on my block in Chicago brung the TV outside on the front porch with the super Nintendo and everybody in the neighborhood was battling it out on my porch it was just an awesome time can't replicate that time anymore so nostalgic
This is definitely one of the games of my childhood that not only hooked me on fighting games but games in general. Had a SNES with this, DKC 1, TMNT: Turtles In Time and Empire Strikes Back. Awesome times playing with my dad and next door neighbors and landing my first Ultra with Fulgore....
KI was new, fresh, and exciting. Definitely had that black cartridge and CD soundtrack. Finally landing an Ultra felt so awesome.
Man this soundtrack was so good.... It still is. I'm kinda amazed how well it holds up and still works to this day.
I too was completely obsessed with KI, and KI2. Once I got to a certain level. I never lost to anyone, home or arcade. Wish we could have played back in the good ole days, lol.
Still to this day KI is my favorite game of all time. I have my mom to thank for introducing it to me all those years ago as a little kid. I always enjoyed playing the snes and n64 over my ps2 at the time. Like I spent plus hours playing KI and KI2 trying to learn everything from linkers to shadow moves. I was cinder main in KI and Jago main in KI2 although it never stopped me from learning the other characters lol. I wish I could’ve played fulgore like a lot better than what I remember back then because he was such a bad ass. I still own my systems and play them every chance I get. But Im thankful you keep KI alive max. I’ve been a faithful subscriber since 2017 and I’ll continue to be for the years to come. SHINE ON!!!
Not sure if you'll see this. But believe it or not, the first "fighting game" that made me into the FGC junky I am now is because of Melee. Back when I was 9, kids at the Boys and Girls club all played it on the GameCube, but there were 4 kids around my age who were friends and would keep ganging up on anyone who tried to play. So it made me determined to keep playing and beat them whenever I had the chance in line lol. I got good, REALLY good for a kid my age to the point that they would Target me only whenever it was my turn haha. Just a bit of story myself so you're not alone when it came to mopping the arcade floors lol
Killer instinct was the first fighting game I've ever played. Cinder was my favorite character in the game and he still is
still have this on SNES, N64 and XBox One - still play all 3. such a blast
The game that made Max how he is today. Oh yeah who doesn't remember their first game that made anyone the gamers that they are today. Let's go max shine on dood.
This sounds exactly like my buddy. He also spent a LOT of time learning KI and using the guide. To the point where his big group of friends would have little tournaments and say "Sorry, you're not invited." Because it was 'unfair.'
The music of this game is timeless and i have the game also i used to have the CD with it. Man it's a must have for us hardcore fans.
Killer Instinct and DKC 2 were at the head of their prime in 1995. 2 Great Rareware classics. My favs were Spinal and Cinder.
Hopefully there'll be a video on the Gameboy Killer Instinct in the future! I never had KI SNES as a kid but I played a lot of Gold and Gameboy
Eyedoll just effortlessly dodging Max's attacks while taunting is hilarious
This makes me want to play classic KI again!
I’m really impressed how accurate the music sounds to the actual arcade OST....Rare had some black magic alchemists in the studios man
Rare was legit the best. They were like magicians like what you said lol. Doing the impossible.
Well... That's not the original soundtrack. It's an MSU-1 hacked ROM.
That's awesome Max! Street fighter 2 is what made me. I was the best player in my town as a kid. Killer instinct has pretty cool music and I also enjoyed that game.
I had the Xband. and was an online warrior for KI back then on SNES
I remember I rented ki for n64 because the cartridge picture looked cool. I had no idea it was a fighting game and no idea how to play.
This is the game that made me love fighting games.
Because of Max I got into Killer Instinct. Can't believe I skipped on this game in my youth. It's such a great concept. 2013 Killer instinct is my Favorite!
The SNES version was the one that I got good at. I started with the arcade, but once this came home plus the combination of Xband online play really learned a lot. I learned overhead combo starters and jump kick in combo starters on this version. All the special starters and linkers I already had from the arcade. I started maining Jago, because you can start a combo by just hitting middle punch, middle punch then go into a linker or ender. No other characters have openers as fast or safe as that. It’s unfair. Without that his wind kick or sword swing openers are way too slow and punishable.
I won my first eve local tournament back in 99 in killer instinct, this game will forever be in my heart
I still have a soft spot for this game.
I always liked using Spinal and Cinder, especially since I knew their finishing moves.
Plus I could perform an Ultra with Cinder easier than others.
Man I'm reminded how much I loved the soundtrack for this game!
The AI and how evil it can be?...........eeehh not so much.
Played MK first on the snes and thought it was pretty cool, soon as I was introduced to this game it was like love at first site. Jago and his theme music will always be goated to me 🤘🏼
One of the small things that i find to be funny about the snes version is the fatality tune that plays, like why is it so much more eerie than the actual arcade's version?
It's funny, I don't ever play fighting games. Haven't played a fighting game since Tekken 3 on playstation when I was a kid, but not really seriously. Found this guy through the algorithm from ffvii remake and have subbed since. He's just fun to watch, and seems like a genuine dood.
The Available roster, the music, unique character designs, unique combo mechanics and for it's time this game looked so good. I honestly wished game developers would just step back a made killer instinct like this just polished a bit.
Max you not the only Dood that fell in love with Super Nintendo version of K.I I was Born in 92 and SNES games was cream of the crop to me
Man I remember playing this version with my brothers as a kid and getting dominated by my older brother. He was the best in the world in our house.
the good ol' days of the 90s... pizza restaurants and their arcades, and gazillions of quarters... laughs....
(and also video game rentals too), either you rushed home from school to go to a pizza restaurant to play the arcades or to a rental store to get the game you want before others
(as a young teen, I always played orchid doing her "flash-tality", but only when no adults/parents was around at the pizza restaurants, laughs, surprised they had KI with this as a finisher in it at pizza restaurants, but probably the parents didn't know of it, we kids/teens weren't stupid, knew not to do it in front of them, lol)
(and loved the arcade victory "bouncing" and "bottom bopping with her tantas/weapons" pose/screen of orchid, laughs)
(same with dark stalkers, always played morrigan for same "reasons"... though loved raptor a lot too, really a cool character)
MK was no big deal... americans don't care about violence at all... just no "naughty stuff"... sighs... at least back in the day... it was like this... meh
---------
SF2 (I was so excited, buying this for fkn $60 for the SNES when it came out, it was such a big deal at the time, as a fighting game, lol, and this isn't the later 'turbo' edition either, the original SF2, lol, I was really stupid, lol)
KoF
Samurai Shodown (SS)
MK
KI
virtua fighter
tekken
primal rage (PR) (this was such a good fighting game, probably my most favorite of all)
darkstalkers (DS)
weapon lord (SNES, very obscure, but it was funny as you could infinitely juggle someone in the corner by simply hitting them in the air, as a teen it was funny to see like a 1,000 combo display, lol, how long could you go before muscle fatigue set in, lol)
soul caliber (SC)
marvel vs capcom
marvel vs snk (maybe)
marvel super heroes (I think)
VS (yes, 'VS' is the game's name, lol, PS1 game, extremely obscure, my sister got some games from company she worked for or helped, and gave them to me, it's actually quite a good game, tekken style combat play)
SF3: 3rd Strike (loved watching pro matches, really loved the combos and strat, though wished it had more diverse characters, as it has too many similar combat-style characters)
clay fighter (CF)
and probably a lot more that I'm missing... meh....
One of the best soundtracks on SNES history
I'm proud to have and still have this game, the black cartridge on snes, and the music cd too. Nice playthrough.👍😄
Grande KI,gracias por la nostalgia...eyedol era dificilisimo...eres fanático del juego...yo también...
Veo los torneos locales y mundiales con Starsex...
Saludos de Chile...
Damn tj combo stage music is still funky af...I love it
Way back when, I entered the Blockbuster Video Game championship. At the time, they had 2 age groups for 2 different games. For the Sega, they had a Primal Rage Tournament and for the SNES, they had the Donkey Kong Country Tournament Edition from Nintendo. I was either 9 or 10 at the time, and I entered the SNES youth bracket.
Now, the DKC tournament edition cart was created by Nintendo for the tournament, and was different than a regular version. First of all, it had a built in timer that stopped the game once the time was reached, and 2nd was that it lacked any overworld and just went from one randomized level to another. There was no order, so you had the know the game quite well.
The rules were simple, you had 2, 5 minute runs to complete as many stages as possible. After I registered for the tournament, I borrowed a copy of DKC from a friend and basically taught myself to speedrun it. I learned where every bonus game barrel was, how quickly I could fail the game and where in a level it would put me. I spend a good month learning everything I could about it.
I came first in the store, for both my age bracket and the adult bracket. As a prize, I got a framed certificate saying I won (I tossed it when we moved) and a gold Blockbuster card that gave me 2 free game rentals a month for a year. It's the only tournament I've entered.
Love saberwolf stage soundtrack
Loads of nostalgia for this, did anyone else also love Clayfighters back in the day?
This wasn't just the first fighting game I've ever played, it was also one of the first video games I've ever played (Contra and Donkey Kong Country being my other first games.) I was around 4 years old the first time I beat Eyedol with Cinder, and here I am now at 30 beating Eyedol with every character on the arcade version released on Xbox One. The arcade version looks and feels pretty sweet, but the original SNES copy I've owned for 26 years is still my preferred version. Damn time flies by.
When I play Fulgore, I like to spam eye laser. It catches jumpers and counters lots of other moves. It also is a combo starter as well. Then I mix it up with charging heavy into uppercut. Makes my fulgore super agile on the screen.
My first ever fighting game was KI on the game boy color, played Glacious because of his puddle teleport and it was so cool seeing that when I was 5-7. Might just have to give KI on Xbox a go and look for a game color and the KI for it.
It is times like this I wish Nintendo had bought Rare.
Yeah.😧
as a guy who owns this on this snes it is nice to see someone else playing their copy but I don't have that strategy guide which looks really cool as well as that nintendo power magazine
My first tournament was at Last years EVO Tournament and I practiced seriously for it across all of my fighting games.
Top 5 in my list of favorite game franchises in terms of osts ever made as well as FGs
I can relate... Being the guy with the group of friends just cheering for me to lose. Or more accurately, to die... 😆
Dope matches. That one ultra looks sick.
5:26 Ah yes the insightful commentary we all subscribe for.
I used to own a copy of KI on Super Nintendo back in 1996, it was an Awesome game, it Still is until Now. It’s an Honor to know you’re an Awesome Player at it.
One of the only black cartridge games
@@rekkasketch4659 True, it is so “Rare” to see a Super Nintendo Black Cartridge back then, a “Pun” intended.
Good memories with the snes version, me, my brothers and best friend battling it out on the big tv in the living room on a friday night. Very good times. 😊😊😊
The SNES soundchip produced an absolute beauty here.
There's an even better MSU-1 version of this that uses the extra RAM to cram in FMVs and cut animation AND combos alongside the redbook audio. Even the "Danger" versions of the music playing in the matches
Hearing the announcer yell ULTRA COMBO! is still a great nostalgia vibe.
I still have the CD that came with it. I have all the songs in MP3 format, and on my phone!
Combo breaker 2022 is happenning, if you want to come back to Chicago
The Killer Cuts soundtrack that came with this game.
oh yeah I fondly remember picking up KI on SNES, to our surprised we found the 'killer cuts' disc tucked away inside! its in storage somewhere but yeah that one definitely got a ton of playtime, especially 'the instinct' I mean the game starts up and you hear THAT and it just starts building to something fucking amazing?! yeah that whole soundtrack though! I used to be half decent with b. orchid but that was a million years ago so I've definitely gotten rusty. might need to replace my copy at some point soon, for sure!
Me too . I was addicted and worked at mastering it even though my friends were very Good 👍🏾
Ki was also my first fighting game the difference is that I started playing around 2007 when my parents bought me a SNES from Craig’s list with a ton of games including this and Suoer Mario World I was like 6 at the time
One of my fondest memories with this game, specially the snes version of it was beating eyedol with tj and finishing him with an ultra, my 9 year old self lost his shit.
Ps: English isn't my native language, so sorry if there are any mistakes or misspelings
This and eternal champions (Sega CD version ) was my back and forth games to play back then. I wish they bring e.c back in some way.
I grew up with this game as well... SF2 was my first real taste of what fighting games where like, but KI was the first to get me serious about anything...
Well... As serious as I could be when I was just so damn excited to have the Gameboy version of this game, still holds a special place for me! 😅
Its bee awhile since I've seen the SNES version of Killer Instinct. Looking..crunchy
This and Alpha 2 on SNES made me pass lots and lots of nights awake and distracted.
This was my first fighting game as well. Both my parents played it all the time when I was like 2.
My mum mained Orchid and my dad would use everyone
Was also the first fighting game that got me hooked!! Good times
I'm surprised that Max didn't grab a KI 1up Arcade Machine XD
oh my godness.! the music.
This game has the best soundtrack, músic, sounds etc
KI on the snes + Xband was hype
Man I love playing Killer Instinct online so fun Ultra Combo🙂🙂😃😃
Killer Cuts, what a soundtrack
I didn't play fighting games properly until the PS1. Before that KI was literally the only fighting game I liked. My friends and I learned everything in the game except for Ultimates which I didn't know existed until I accidentally did one something like 15 years later lol
Also...with Orchid when you want to squish the frog its FQ straigt after you do the frog fatality
I just remember Jago's golden/brown shot was a mystery to me.
That was me at a place in my town called the tilt on Saturdays my parents would drop me off before they went bowling with five bucks in my pocket I was untouchable with saberwulf and orchid but I played all of the roster
Ah yes, I got the Ki SNES bundle (first game I played on the console) sadly the cd got stolen but I still have the Black Cartridge. This game took away my wrists (I played a lot in house and in some local "tournaments" but wouldn't change one bit about that, one of the classic SNES games of all time
I had this game and played the hell out if it as well. That being said, how does he have the arcade version music???
I beat Eyedol on SNES as well as on an actual KI cabinet. This fight suuuucks. KI was the first SNES game I ever owned. Wish I had the strategy guide
I had that game. I had that guide. I had that Nintendo power. I wish I kept them all.
Remember that black SNES cartridge. Got my butt whooped by my big brother but got better by it. Going to friends houses and whooping their butts made me feel better then they learned from me and eventually got some competition. Good times with this fighting game.
Same for me. I ask to my father if can buy me this game as last game ( i never ask anythings to him from that moment). And he knows my word and buy the game. I play any character but i'm addicted to Fulgore and finish the game till unlock Eyedol without any guide. Since then everything is related to KI brings me a sort of bind that nothing is close by. ( A reason why i start long time ago to follow you Max. Thanks for all this content related and the dedication to KI). Fight ON!
I would never forget that killer instinct i was my first SNES
Mortal kombat street fighter2 were my first fighting games I would play I guess competitively with the rest of the kids on the block when I was 7 or 8
