Killer Instinct Gold - Strategy Guide (Page 05)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Killer Instinct Gold - Strategy Guide (Page 05).

Team Elimination Mode:

 We all know that the Team Elimination Mode is the funnest thing about
 Killer Instinct Gold. With that in mind there are a few things you can
 do to make the experience even better.

 One controller, 2 players - if you have a brother or perhaps a friend
 who usually comes over to your house and you only have one controller
 the Team Elimination Mode is the perfect solution. Choose this option
 and pick 4 characters against 8+ (depending on your skill level). Make
 sure you choose the first and third and he/her (there are female KI
 players out there... I hope) should choose the alternative (2,4).
 Began playing and play the elimation mode as you would normally. Once
 your character dies or is eliminated (to later come back to the game)
 let your friend grab the controller and attempt to destroy the
 computer. I had a lot of fun with my friend the first day I bought
 Killer Instinct Gold! We started 4 on 4 and later into 4 vs 11 in
 master, it was one hell of a challenge. There was even a time when I
 was on the controls for approximately 15 minutes! Fulgore just would
 not give in and allow me to perform an ultra or ultimate.

 Two controller, lots of players - if you are lucky enough to have 2
 controllers and are able to gather 4 or more players for a game of
 Killer Instinct Gold you can achieve an even greater level of fun!
 Playing on teams of 4 or more its amazing. Using the same technique
 mentioned above you will be able to have very challenging fights.
 Remember though that your team is counting on you, the pressure is
 on. Also for added fun turn on the early ultimates (no mercies) to
 have an even more challenging match. Warning... this will cause a lot
 of screaming and shouting in your house =)

 Conduct Tournaments - team tournaments can be much more exciting than
 single player tournaments. The reason why this is true is because some
 good players usually have a weakness, whether it is a character or
 simply the way the other human opponent plays. To give you a good
 example when I was on the XBAND network Kreat *GeN* (one hell of a
 player) used Cinder a lot. He used to hold down back on the controller
 and pressed fierce punch. What this accomplished was a great level of
 frustation for his opponent. Let me explain...

 When you hold down/back and press fierce punch with Cinder he will
 either (a) hit over head (b) hit low. If you are close to your opponent
 and he is blocking, by simply doing this you are guaranteed a hit! If
 he blocks high you hit him low, if you block low you hit him high! You
 had to predict his next move in order to anticipate him and counter.
 ECA (another great player) had a difficult time doing this and
 continuosly lost to Kreat. I on the other hand was great at predicting
 Kreat's move and countering accordingly thanks to my Spinal (boy was I
 cheap =) ) . I used the same technique on him with Spinal and his big
 machete. ECA was an Orchid player so he was not able to use Spinal
 easily. On the other hand I lost badly to ECA when he choosed Orchid
 against my Spinal. The aggresive factor of Spinal is just NOT effective
 against Orchid.

 Anyhow... conducting team tournaments is more exciting than single player
 tournaments not only because of the weakness factor but also because once
 again, your team depends on you. If you are out they will be out.

 Unique Storylines:

 Now you might call me crazy, but if you can create your own storyline
 while playing Killer Instinct Gold you can have a lot of fun. Come up
 with your own setting and pit characters according to these settings.
 Below is an example:

 King of the Hill - "Every year a warrior is considered 'The King of the
 Hil'. Hundreds of opponents have opposed him but to no avail. This year
 there is a new batch of opponents ready to send this warrior into
 submission." Now I know this is a very simple idea, but you can come up
 with your own ideas. In order to be the King of the Hill (better with
 more players) there has to be one person who should be choosen the king;
 he will pick his favorite character and both of you pick the special
 level. If you knock him down you gain the title of "King of the Hill",
 the next player attempts to defeat you and so on and so forth. Whoever
 stays on the level the longest(aka more wins) he will be crowned the new
 "King of the Hill".

 I know some of you who are reading this are saying this is too damn
 stupid. You are never too old to have fun =) this is specially cool to
 have your own tournament in which you can charge people to enter. With
 a storyline like the one above (you may wish to make it more exiting!)
 you can attract more players. There is a comic book store near my school
 were tournaments of MK3 took place regularly, and believe it or not all
 the tournaments had its own story. The winner usually took home $100 and
 one free comic of choice $20 or less in value. Thanks for reading!
