RATE THE SUPER: Killer Instinct - Ultimates & Stage Ultras

This deserves a lot more likes.

@ryukenb2k you never seen death battle

Why did this make me laugh so much

I feel like the effects go a long way, when you put the focus on them (like in Raging Demon) and it feels like they are overwhelming the opponent in some way, it creates this image of power. It's easy to do that with blood because we know what it means, but yeah it can also be done with effects that represent energy or motion.

A Potato raging demon has to be one of best finishing moves in fighting that doesn't use gore.

@@speedy932key4 guilty gear and blazblue would like a word

@@deathbringer9893 fair point.

KI doesn't need gore but these ultimates remind me of the finishers in street fighter 4 and 5.

I'd rather not see Hisako cradling her own intestines.

12:41 DAMMIT THANOS

She's a Queen

and Hisako paired up with Mileena? HOO, I don't think my pants would take that.

Sadira would be great too.

But Solid Snake wrote it :(

Same thing it happens to everything else

Halle as Storm should've said: It croaks. Better than what she actually said.

You get a well lit toad. (you wrote lighting, not lightNing)

@@applejuicejunkie316 Oh God, that joke seems so obvious now!

Unfortunately development just ended up getting dropped. I think you can see that some of these were pretty rushed.

And Im shocked there isnt much of an outrage because of it. Any other game would have been torn to shreds.

I'm surprised spinal and Cinder didn't get ultimates.

@@Hillthugsta I was under the impression that the Ultimate releases were free though. Like yeah, it sucks not all of them got one but it's not like you wasted money on them.

Yeah, this is the one real bummer about this game. If you're going to do it, really do it.

It has a really good beginning but it has such a limp ending. You really expect something to seal the deal after the final punch but they just get knocked away it sort of just stops

Let me just change that 69.

Glacius' in particular has shit just...happening. Then there's those hard, awkward close ups.

Yeah right..it's awesome but not polished at times ...I think the rating really held it back from its full potential

Blame the teen rating for them not reaching to their full potential

Alot of these are just ok or mediocre but Max can't criticize his baby

I know hes bias but he doesn't even work in this ultimates and some of them are pretty cool

Does Max actually work on the KI game?

@@tarisco614 work a bit in the first season of the game with double helix

@@jasonlobo2350 Oh cool. Thanks for the answer Brochacho.

Right lol

Ok but we're not gonna act like the Devastation Beam isn't one of the best fighting game moves in existence

Well I guess he did say He tries, not that he does

U look tasty af ngl

rofl

Hehe

Agreed

Totally, I almost lost it laughing at the 9 for Fulgore, in any other game he would have called it "basic beam super, I give it a 5" 😂

He's biased towards Tusk because he was the model for Tusk's left nipple.

Yea these ultimate are trash

He’s allowed to Max worked on the games trailers.

Hes eyes pop off right? I remember that

im glad to know that im not the only one who thought that

I liked the design but I can definitely see where you’re coming from

I think when you’re playing the game and you have to quote on quote earn the super through good play it does feel very satisfying, I feel the supers could’ve been improved if the game had a mature age rating but because KI has always been a teen game I can understand it

Max is ALWAYS super biased when it comes to ki, but imagine loving a game alot when you were younger then getting a chance to help develop its sequel

Its the T rating. Glacius, Aganos, Thunder, and Kilgore have some of the best. But this isn't MK so they can't be too graphic.

I won't deny, the ones you listed are pretty cool (especially Kilgore and Glacius). But most wouldn't look any better even if they *did* show them dying. Like Spooder Chick.

While I'll agree that this game is a T rated game, can you honestly tell me that they couldn't reanimate some of the old Ultimates (or fatalities if you want to be a nerd) from KI gold? Especially when they were extremely lacking in the gore department when compared from Mortal Kombat? I understand that the developers don't have the manpower to make these as great as Netherrealm's fatalities, but if they're going to spend the time and resources to make them, they should at least make them worth considering instead of making an ultra more desirable. In the purpose of being constructive, if another KI game is made, and they start out with 5 characters just as before, I believe there should be one Ultimate for one specific character, then they add another when 3 more characters are added. Not only would this save up on time and resources, but it also gives more room for improvement to make them more desirable than a simple ultra.

Yeah, seems kinda bias (Max work on the game)

Budget reasoning

The bias is real, lmao

Isn't the rating only relevant to the same game? So an 8 in KI is probably only equivalent to a 5 in MK11

@@JinJinJinJinJinJinJinJinJinJin "I might be biased, but I'm not an idiot" Max during rate the super in KoF XIII, 2019.

@@ChronoAlex if that was true Sadira really deserves a 3

Are you really watching this vid for fairness on a judgement for supers? I'm here for Max's hype.

Yea but the whole point of this is to rate it accurately too

"The points are made up and the score doesn't matter." - Max

John Maika - Okay, I thought that as soon as I saw the second one with Sabre and that got a 8/10. Doesn't he have a business type of relationship of some kind with the company that makes this game?

He has also stated that scores given in each episode of "Rate the Super" are contextual based on the game for that particular episode. Other game franchises and even previous games in the same series cannot be taken into account or compared to.

True

Depends... I mean, if the throat's vocal chords are occupying most of it, (intermediate anatomy isn't my forte) a throat slashing like that would leave you like Claude Speed from GTA 3, and probably not kill you. But the shock certaintly would on someone like TJ Combo.

That would be the one time you use a gurgling sound for it, yes.

The beginning and end seemed very solid, there's just an underwhelming amount of punches/attacks

I mean this is just his thoughts, not an actual super official rating bruh

Of course he is biased, but it remains a cheap source of entertainment at least

It's his opinion so everything biased..what dont you understand

Ultimate bias.

@@Uso_Wakka you can be unbiased towards things you like. People do it all the time. I like Sadira, but there is no way I would give her Ultimate a 9 or 10. I wouldn't even give hers an 8. See, I just showed you that it's possible.

I forgot about this game ! It was the shit

Max and the gang need to have another go at Def Jam, pronto.

Your wish is granted

Regarding budget, I believe both games had similar resources. It's all about the talent differences

Sorry but KI plays a lot better for me

Visually yes, in gameplay they're both great in their own ways.

Maybe in 2033 did you see when the last character will launch?

@@brotherextreme yeah I've seen

Seems criminal that there hasn't yet been an MK and KI crossover

@@SonofTiamat honestly, I would love to see Jax fight TJ Combo,or gargos take on shao kahn

Na

A few people don't have em. I think cinder dont have one. I believe he use to in the really old ones but not in this one, couple other people don't have ultimates

12:44 this laugh tho.

Me too.

Its not scary tho

Agreed that thing was like a 5

WutTheDeuce agreed that was a 4 at best

*Whispers* 'the points are made up and the score doesnt matter.'

Theres plenty of impact

He did help in making the game so yeah it's pretty lame

Yeah, they really don't seem like they're Killing the opponent. There's always something missing in the end. No dever, I like this concept of an execution with implicit gore.

I wish they were more super like. Seems like the path to go since they can't do gore, but they have an... awkwardness to a number of them. Now thinking about it, I think it's because they try to be anime and cinematic about it, but it feels off because not all the proper effects are there.

The original games had ultimates. These are okay but they're just meant to say I beat you without losing a life bar.

Döglasch Santos Hisako may be close. Imagine how many bones she breaks. She literally brought Rash’s legs so far up he could sit on his head. No, he’s crippled for life.

@@VVheeli The thing about hisako's "ultimate" is that it's a recycled animation, she already breaks the opponents bones during gameplay.

lol same

Sage Jonesy the sound direction in this game is amazing in general. Every single hit sounds satisfying

It's one of the best fighting games to come out in a LONG time. Has all the features the retards at Kappa claim to want. Only problem is they suck at this game just like they suck at all the rest. Unfortunately, they can't make up bullshit claims about "No defense" "It's all defense" "No way to come back" "Comeback factor too strong".

It has a great roster with a great gameplay but these finishers would mostly get 6 and below in any other fighting game from max himself.

So I'm not the only one who wants that lol

Guilty Gear Xrd would most likely be a top pick for that one.

@@justsomedude7138 nah id say ki takes that one ki not only tells you what to do but if you mess up they tell you how to fix it

Max already made a video gushing about guilty gear’s tutorial lol

@@ILoveToEatRed40 True, but they can both be top picks. ^-^

@@justsomedude7138 yeah definetly agree on that

Maybe it's for the best all things considered.

I love it. The way he walks away before you hit the ground is so badass to me. Like he already knows you are finished without even looking at you.
