Hisako killer instinct wiki update#

An update in February 2017 brought the return of the series' 'Ultimate' attacks, cinematic finishing moves for certain characters that can be used in place of an Ultra Combo. Instinct Mode can also be used to stop an Ultra Combo in order to chain it to other moves and even into another Ultra for an even more stylish finish than a simple Ultra Combo can provide. Instinct Mode can be used to perform an instantaneous cancel during a combo and also reset the 'knockdown value', a meter that appears during a combo that determines how close the combo is to being automatically ended by the game.

The enhancements are built around complementing the character's playstyle traits. By filling up a secondary bar beneath the character's lifebar, each character can trigger a unique enhancement for a limited period, such as Glacius covering himself in ice armor for better damage resistance, or Thunder's dash becoming invincible and moving farther. All characters can use a Shadow Counter technique while blocking to instantly cancel into a shadow attack.Īnother new feature to the Killer Instinct gameplay is the addition of 'Instinct Mode'. A two-segmented meter enables the use of 'Shadow' moves that have upgraded hit properties and can cause more damage and combo hits, though certain characters' meters function differently. The Season Two update added the ability to use Combo Breakers and Counter Breakers even while airborne, as well as an 'Aerial Recapture' option that allows certain characters to attack opponents in the air and pull them down to the ground to continue their combos. Players who fail their Combo Breaker attempt or are attacked with a Counter Breaker enter a Lockout state, preventing another breaker from being attempted for three seconds or until the combo ends. The game also features the return of Combo Breakers, attacks that can interrupt an opponent's combo when executed properly, as well as the new addition of Counter Breakers, which can cancel out an opponent's Combo Breaker while leaving the character vulnerable if improperly performed.

Season Two later added Stage Ultras, environmental finishing moves that can be triggered on specific stages. Like in previous titles, players can finish their opponent using an Ultra Combo, an automatic sequence of attacks that can only be used to end a match. The basic elements of combos are Openers, special attacks that start combos Auto-Doubles, button presses following special attacks that create automatic hit sequences Linkers, required to join several auto-doubles together Enders, a sequence which finalizes the combo with increased damage and Manuals, attacks chains entered outside of the traditional combo structure. The gameplay in Killer Instinct retains its traditional combo-based mechanics. I'm creeped the f*** out.Further information: Killer Instinct § Gameplay (Don't go to that mall.) There's not much else for me to say. Hsien-Ko would probably hang out at the mall, too. 'Ghost' characters are pretty rare in fighting games, after all. She's a pretty compelling character on her own. On a side note, I could even see Hisako starring in her own game (or horror movie, easily). The other KI 2013 designs seem kinda under-developed. and her foreboding stage is also one of the most atmospheric in This ghostly, creepy Japanese warrior girl fits in perfectly with the KI cast. In my humble opinion, Hisako is easily one of (if not) the best newcomers in Killer Instinct 2013.
