Hot Killer Instinct gameplay starring Cinder

Here's a cool tip if you want to chain two Ultras together.
David Caballero Editor-in-Chief Spain 4 May 2015

Cinder was probably the only main character missing from the classic games in the modern version of Killer Instinct, but now the fiery fighter is back, more frantic and cocky than ever.

The character is now available for Ultra Edition users, so we've just captured a few fights in the following gameplay clip and tried his smoking-fast combat style with many hits and long combos in the process.

The first match is, of course, versus Glacius, so you can consider it as a "Song of Ice and Fire" particle-filled showdown of sorts between the two legendary opposite characters, meanwhile listening to the trademark Cinder's stage theme remixed.

The second fight is versus the creepy and also recently released character Hisako, then with third match versus Aganos you can check out Cinder's new Ultra Combo. Genre veterans: keep in mind Cinder comes with no own Stage Ultra as of now (you can try others' Stage Ultra instead), but there's a rather neat possibility with his standard Ultra Combo, allowing you to chain two Ultras together for an ultimate 80+ hits beating. Aganos gets just the single portion, but you can check out the potential linker around the 9:00 mark.

Finally, as a bonus track, we fight Riptor in her most... girly costume. Let's put it that way.

May will see the release of the anime-mech like character ARIA, apparently the last one planned for Season 2.
