KILLER INSTINCT: Dojo Mode Breakdown

Gives a decent look at the training mode that will be in KI. Some things of note:

• Detailed explanations of everything from basic combo structure, to countering projectiles, to explaining manuals.
• The goal is to be able to teach you the core concepts of the genre that would apply to all fighting games in general as well as the mechanics of KI specifically.
• Visual and audio cues to help learn timing.
• All hit boxes and frame data are viewable and can be toggled on and off in practice mode.

If only I didn't suck at fighting games.

Looks like it was ripped straight out of Street Fighter. (the training room I mean)

Game looks great though.

This dojo mode is precisely the solution to fix that, friend.

Jago has crossed through pec mode and is now clearly in breast mode.

I love how more and more fighting games are putting the tools in game to improve players of all levels. Frame data AND hit boxes in training mode is great.

The audio cue is an amazing idea. I absolutely hated trying to get the timing for links down in SFIV.

Well, the prototype had the sf4 training stage, so yes:

Tekken and Street Fighter have done training modes for a while. The replay analysis is very cool though.

Honest question.

What's the resolution of the latest fighters VITA games?

 

[Iced_Eagle]

As someone who sucks at fighting games, I'm very interested in this. Maybe I can move beyond mashing buttons to learning some actual combos, and some of the terms.

Definitely picking this up day one. Double Helix has seemingly done a great job with it thus far.

My interest just raised a bit.

I understand why training stages have to be so plain and boring... but... they're so fucking plain and boring.

This has been in Tekken for a few years. Even has different tones for buttons that are pressed close in time to each other.

There is supposed to be a lot of easter eggs in this stage.

This is a tutorial, not just a training mode. SF especially should take notes.

Figures, the one FG I have never really tried, haha. Good to see this stuff catch on either way.

This must be a new low for Microsoft, using Nickleback singer to front one of their games.

That's the point lol

More power to games that use it and implement it well! Loved it in TTT2.
