Eyedol's lava-bridge stage has the portal machine that freed him as its backdrop. The biggest plot point ignored by the game is that Eyedol is not an Ultratech bio-weapon in testing like many of the standard characters, but a warring god from ancient times sealed in Limbo by sorcerers (the other one being Gargos, boss of the second game).

Killer instinct 2 64 series#
The third game, a reboot of the series titled simply Killer Instinct again, released in 2013. that is, until E3 2013 when Microsoft announced a new KI game was in the works for the Xbox One. However, in light of certain news, it sadly seemed unlikely. The series still had a fanbase, however, and some still hoped for a revival done by developer Rare. An updated version, titled Killer Instinct Gold, was released for the Nintendo 64 a couple months after launch. A sequel called Killer Instinct 2 was later released, but wasn't nearly as popular for several reasons: getting rid of the pre-rendered backgrounds in favor of real time polygonal backgrounds, the revamping of several characters, a confusing time-travel plot, and the rise of 3D Fighting Games. The first proved popular due to its eye-popping graphics (courtesy of Silicon Graphics, who did the pre-rendered sprites for Donkey Kong Country), catchy soundtrack, and signature combo-intensive gameplay. This forces players to be keenly aware of what buttons their opponent is pressing even mid combo, and keeps things interesting and engaging the entire match. A "Combo Breaker" occurs if the opponent is keen enough to know what works in a Rock/Paper/Scissors situation by pressing the two light, medium or heavy buttons corresponding to what type of autodouble is being performed. However, the combo system has an out for players who are observant enough to know how their opponent is trying to combo them. Instead, combos in Killer Instinct are very formulaic and easy, following a strict process of opening with a special move (called Openers by the community), linking together auto-doubles note If you crave a little more technique, you can use Manual hits instead, which are more difficult to break and more special moves, before finally ending in a finisher that shaves off a ton of health. (" C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER" and " ULLLLLTRAAAAAA COMBO" seem to be running gags associated with the series.) You don't have to expertly string moves together to keep your opponent in a stunlock state to rack up big damage.

KI-style combos are great for beginners who are inexperienced at fighting games. Among the competitors are people who have been wronged by UltraTech, most notably the Corporate Samurai and fanservice character Orchid, and a few of the company's whacked-out test subjects such as the Mascot Mook Fulgore. Set in a dystopic future Earth, the plot revolves around the eponymous Killer Instinct tournament held by the hugely-evil UltraTech corporation for reasons that are unclear, though the comic implies it's for the huge revenue from bloodthirsty spectators.
