Killer Instinct (Actual SNES Capture) - Fulgore Playthrough on Max Difficulty

This is a capture of me playing through Killer Instinct on the SNES. I'm playing through the game on max difficulty (six stars) using Fulgore. This is not an emulator. This footage was recorded directly from my Super Nintendo using an actual Killer Instinct cartridge.

Here's some new 60 fps footage of the SNES port of Killer Instinct. Although the SNES version of this game was severely downgraded from the arcade version and several animations were removed, the game still runs at 60 fps, like most SNES games.

I played Killer Instinct a ton in the arcades when it came out back in 1994, and it is probably still my favorite tournament fighter to this day. The SNES version doesn't really hold a candle to the arcade version when it comes to sound and graphics, but for the most part, all the moves are there and the game plays like the arcade version, minus a bunch of the glitches.

Even though the SNES version came out in 1995, I actually didn't get my own copy of Killer Instinct until around 1997 or later. Before that I used to play the game at my friend's house all the time, and we would constantly battle each other every day after school. It never got old.

I would constantly re-read issues of Nintendo Power to study combos and figure out how to become better at the game. I even taught my brother and my friends how to play the game with characters I didn't even use (Glacius, Cinder, Sabrewulf). When I finally got my own copy I started battling another friend and polished my skills even further. Shortly after I picked up my copy of the game, I also picked up the Official Nintendo Power Player's Guide, which I still own.

From the moment I first played this game at my local bowling alley, I knew Fulgore would be my favorite character. He's just so fast and versatile, plus he looks like a total badass. Even though Fulgore only has two openers, he's a very capable character if played correctly. The Eyelaser is an extremely important opener, especially when combined with the Plasma Port, so I tend to use that combination a lot. I also like to engage in a little bit of showmanship, so I do Killer Combos even though I know they're likely to be broken.

I always have trouble doing the ultimate combo for some reason, so I wasn't able to do it in this playthrough. But all of the other finishers were shown off.

Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official SNES S-video cable at 60 frames per second. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the SNES's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal.

I'm using a standard SNES controller.
