Not only does it teach you the basics and gameplay systems of Killer Instinct, it teaches you solid fighting game mechanics. I thought Skullgirls was good, but the 32 lessons in KI’s Dojo mode is hands down the best. The Dojo mode, which I previously mentioned, starts off like a tutorial, and then hours later turned out to be the single best training mode I’ve ever seen in a fighting game. If the next round of DLC was $20 and included 8 more characters and some expanded single player content, like a MvC3 mission mode or Mortal Kombat story mode, I’d be thrilled. For $20, I’ve already gotten my money’s worth. ![]() There is an insanely in-depth training mode called Dojo, which I’ll cover in more detail, and there is the requisite exhibition and ranked online matches.
