Speed Up Combos

Learn how to speed up your combos in Killer Instinct (2013) with our guide. Master Combo Openers, Linkers, and Enders to dominate your opponents.

Alright, let's talk about making your combos hit harder and faster in Killer Instinct. This is all about chaining your moves together smoothly so your opponent doesn't get a chance to breathe. We'll focus on the 2013 version here, as the mechanics are a bit different from the older games. ### Combo Openers These are your bread and butter for starting a combo. Think of them as the first hit that locks your opponent down. For TJ Combo, you've got a few good options: * Spinfist: Use `[Charge ← → + QP]`. * Reverse Spinfist: This one is `[Charge → ← + QP]`. * Rollercoaster: You can get this with `[Charge ← → + MP]`. * Powerline: This move is `[Charge ← → + FP]`. * Flying Knee: Use `[Charge ← → + QK/FK]`. ### Combo Linkers Once you've started a combo, you need ways to extend it. Linkers are those moves that connect your opener to your ender. They keep the pressure on and rack up damage. For TJ Combo, the main linker to focus on is: * Reverse Spinfist: `[Charge → ← + QP]` is your go-to here. ### Combo Enders These are the moves that finish off your combo, often dealing the most damage or setting up for a follow-up. You'll want to choose these strategically. * Spinfist: `[Charge ← → + QP]` can end your combo. * Rollercoaster: `[Charge ← → + MP]` is another option. * Powerline: `[Charge ← → + FP]` works as an ender too. * Flying Knee: Use `[Charge ← → + FK]` to wrap things up. Pro Tip: The key to speeding up your combos is timing and rhythm. Practice these moves in training mode until you can execute them without thinking. You'll want to get a feel for the slight pauses between each part of the combo – too fast and you might drop the chain, too slow and your opponent might escape!
