Looking at the new V-Triggers in Street Fighter, it got my thinking…
What if KI had a alternate instinct mode where you are able to chose between two different instinct for each character? I would love to hear your creativity on this topic.
Some instincts I came up with:
Jago (Way of the Monk): Every laser sword move or sword normal now gains a good amount of meter on block and hit. Has same frame changes as first instinct. The sword glows when in instinct.
Arbiter (Fully Loaded): Arbiter has an infinite amount of grenades (only 3 can be on screen). Carbine starts glowing when instinct is popped.
RAAM (Kryll Tsunami): A kryll swarm begins forming at both ends of the screen and starts to slowly crawl to the middle. The kryll swarm does real damage and can be stacked upon any afflicted kryll. Kryll swarm is as dense as first instinct. Knife now shines in instinct.
Kilgore (Protocol 4.5.1.): Kilgore can now remotely switch between overheat and cool states by pressing HP+HK. Performs an exhaust like move and can used to cancel all moves. Each cancel depletes some of the instinct gauge (like Tusk). Cool mode can not traditionally go into overheat and stays at max level spin once used enough, but can still decrease spin. Overheat cannot cooldown, even via shadow exhaust. Steam comes off from Kilgore throughout his instinct.
Eagle (Náqc Háma, Náqc Saq’antá·y): When the bird is being sent to retrieve arrows, using KKK (triple kick) cause the eagle to perform a screech and cause an explosion around it. This attack hits overhead and can be done when the bird is move to or away from Eagle. Using the move calls the bird immediately to Eagle to cooldown. His bird shines bright throughout the instinct.
That’s all I have for now, will probably add more if I think of any. I wonder what you guys can come up with. There is no such thing as a bad idea
P.S.- Eagle’s instinct name means “one man, one eagle”
By the way, parody instincts are also appreciated in this thread, maybe something like this:
Hisako- You now have the powers of @STORM179. Hisako instantly reads all attacks and counters them automatically. Also, all knockdown setups are unblockable and you can grab out of the air. Sit back and a relax or make yourself a sandwich with this totally balanced instinct.
