Things I didn't realize about KI

If you successfully counter break and hold mp and mk, it’ll hit back three times instead of the normal two times.

Retro Spinal Winpose “looks at you

Mind. Blown.

True… It will give you a heavy linker. I learned this when Mira was released.

WHAT?!

God ■■■■. Trying this now. Good to know.

Another thing that is mind-blowingly NOWHERE to be found in the dojo or any tutorials, and that I didn’t find out until months and months later, is the quick rise thing. Is that supposed to be common knowledge in fighting games or something?

I never ever use it, to this day, because I was never told. I don’t even think I even know how to officially do it. Is it pressing ANY button as soon as you touch the ground? or a specific one? or something?

It differs from game to game, in KI its hit any button when you hit the ground. In SF4 its 2 buttons and on third strike its hitting down.
