INTRODUCTION
============
I know that there have been a lot of solution and strategy guides for this
game, for this system. But, I don't think that a lot of the guides cover all
the info that SHOULD have the right info for the game. Some of these writers
also have a lot of false info for this game. What a lot of these writers don't
know is that the SNES version had a lot of the special moves cut out from the
arcade. Some even think that all the glitches still exist in the SNES version.
The problem is that the programers of the SNES version of KILLER INSTINCT took
out a lot of the glitches that did exist in the arcade. What follows is the
COMPLETE TRUTH to the KILLER INSTINCT game for SNES. I will try to keep this
solution guide up to date as often as possible as well as telling and writing
only the truth about KILLER INSTINCT. I hope this guide helps you understand
this game more when you're done reading this. Enjoy!

THE UNDERSTANDING AND EXPLAINATIONS OF COMBOS, LINKERS, AND BREAKERS
====================================================================
[Will explain in next version or update of this guide]
COMBO BREAKERS
==============
Combo breakers can only be done when your opponent is doing a combo on you.
You do a combo breaker when the opponent starts to do multiple hits on you
during a fight. Also, if you do a combo breaker, you can do more hits than
usual when you do a combo on someone.
ULTRA COMBO
===========
Ultra cmobos can only be done when your opponent's life bar is red, almost to
no energy is left, the opponent's life bar is flashing while red, and you're
in the middle of a combo. When your doing a combo, the move mentioned for each
character is what you do to the opponent in the middle of a combo. Make sure
you continue to do the combo or the ultra combo will not go off properly.
NO MERCY
========
In order to do a no mercy, the opponent must have lost all of their energy
and the game say "DANGER!". Once the screen starts to fade, stand at the
distance mentioned for that character, then do the move mentioned for that
character, then they will do a type of fatality on the opponent. Try not to
take too long to do this move, or the opponent will just fall to the ground.
HUMILIATION
===========
In order to do a humiliation, the opponent must have lost all of their energy,
you must still be on your first life (GREENISH/YELLOW), then stand anywhere on
the screen and do the move mentioned for that character. The humiliation move
is about the same as doing a friendship in Mortal Kombat, only the opponent
gets to humiliate themselves, not you. What happens is the opponent does a
dance for you while disco music is playing in the background.
SECRET CHEATS IN THE GAME THAT WORK FOR SNES
============================================
Here are some cheats for this game. Although not a good list, it's enough to
get you to have fun and survive the game. The first cheat allows you to play
as the boss of the game named EYEDOL.
PLAY AS EYEDOL
To play as EYEDOL, start a game (In either 1 or 2 player mode) and select
CINDER as your character. Wait for the VS screen with the 2 pictures of the
characters appear. (The screen where the game says "FIGHT ON!") During that
screen and before the game starts, hold RIGHT on the controller and press the
following buttons in order as quick as you can...
WP, WK, FP, MK, MP, FK
(If you did this on the SNES, the default buttons you would press are...
R, L, X, B, Y, A
Remember, if you change the buttons around, you have to press the buttons
indicated based on the type of button you are using to activate EYEDOL.)
If you did the cheat right, you will hear the game say "EYEDOL" to let you
know you are now playing as EYEDOL. You have to enter the cheat each time you
win a match. Just so you know, either player 1 or 2 can do this trick. It is
possible to have an Eyedol Vs Eyedol.
BASIC AND COMMON MOVES FOR ALL
==============================
The following moves mentioned here can be performed for all characters...
Sweep = D + FK
Crouch Counter = [Stand close, opponent crouching] B + FP
Fake Crouch Counter = [Stand away from punching distance] B + MP
Power Punch = B + FP
Power Kick = B + FK
THE CHARACTERS
==============
Their are some things I want to mention before we get to the characters...
1.) If you want to switch a characters color, highlight a character, and press
up or down on the controller and you can select from a wide range of colors
for your character
2.) If you want to do a RANDOM SELECT, hold up and press START and the CPU
will select a character at random for you
CHIEF THUNDER
=============
STRATEGIES FOR CHIEF THUNDER

Sammamish = F, DF, D, DB, B + #P
Tomahawk = [While In Air] F, DF, D, DB, B + FP
