Set EARLY ULTIMATES to ON in the level four options. This option lets you perform an Ultimate at any time on your opponent's second life bar. Deplete your opponent's first life bar. When they get up, perform any combo that ends with an Ultimate and all 99% of their second life bar will be drained. Easy 99% combo!
Make sure that KNOCKDOWNS are turned ON and CHEAP JUGGLES are turned OFF or the game won't allow you to register your initials.
The LEGENDS score is simply the total of your STREAKS, FATALS, ans SPEED rankings. Each entry in those categories is worth 1-10 points based on its order in the list. For example, if you are first in STREAKS you would have a LEGENDS score of 10. If you were first in STREAKS, second in FATALS, and third in SPEED you would have a LEGENDS score of 27 (10+9+8).
So the maximum LEGENGS score you can obtain is 165 points (your initials on all 10 spots in STREAKS, FATALS, and SPEED). Good Luck!
This is a little different than K12 in the arcade as NO points are given for each character's # OF HITS and DAMAGE PERCENTAGE.
To be able to access all the game's levels options without beating the game on the higher difficulty levels, wait for the character profiles to come up. Now press Z, B, A, L, A, Z. (That's the L button on the top of the controller.) The announcer will say "Perfect" if you did it correctly!
To check out the ending credits without beating the game (read: the credits only; you do not see any character's ending), wait for the character profiles to come up. Now press Z, L, A, Z, A, R. (That's the L and R buttons on top of the controller.) You'll see the game's credits come up if you did it correctly!
To bo able to select the White, Shadow, and Gold versions of any character (without having to get through the practice mode), wait for the character profiles to come up. Now press Z, B, A, Z, A, B. (That's the L button on top of the controller.) The announcer will say "Welcome" if you did it right!
To play as Gargos, wait for the character profiles to come up. Now press Z, A, R, Z, A, B. (That's the R button on top of the controller.) Gargos will laugh if you did it right! Now he is selectable in the arcade, team( but not team elimination) and Tournaments modes!
No matter which level of difficulty you select, there is a relatively easy path to get to Gargos. This cheat will require two controllers. First of all, you must play a two-player Arcade match on the Sky Stage (see below.) Make sure you select the characteryou want to use and just select any ol' character as your opponent.
The next thing you must do is beat up on that second player (I doubt it will be hard if no one is controlling him.) when you defeat them, do NOT have the second player continue. If you selected the Arcade mode, then you should now face off against the computer.
You'll notice that all the battles against the computer will be up on the Sky Stage! Doing an uppercut move near the ledge means an easy knock off and an easy win for you. All of your opponents, except Gargos, will battle you in the Sky. This is much, much easier than fighting the characters on their resective stages. And it gives you an oppourtunity to "cheat" your way to better records on the High Scores Table! Unfortunatly, you still have to contend with Gargos on his regular stage!
Just like the arcade version of K12, you can choose the level you want to play on and the background music to go with any two-player mode in the game (Arcade, Team, Tournament, etc.) The following button sequences below should be done as you select your character. The first person pick their character determines the scene. And the second person will determine the background music.
So, for example, if you wanted to fight on Jago's Bridge with Orchid's "Play Hard" music, the first player to select thier character would have to press Down + QP as they pick their character. And the other player would have to press Up + FK when they select their character.
As with the previous Killer Instict games, there is a special Sky Stage you can fight on in the two-player modes. The Sky Stage makes knockoffs very easy, though. To access the Sky Stage, both players must press Down + MK when they select their character. All subsequent battles will continue to be on this stage until you select a different one from the list above.
Even though there's an option to force random character selects in the option screen, you can still hold up and press start to have a random character chosen for you.
This is not really a trick per se, but some of you still may not have figured this out yet. As you may or may not know, Killer Instinct Gold contians a built in EEPROM chip to save all your scores and options. If you would like to view the different records srceen, just press the Z-trigger button underneath the controller.
Beat trianing on EASY with all "a"s. After that select your character, and if you change the colors, you will get a white one and a gold one of THAT CHARACTER ONLY!
Beat training on NORMAL with all "A"s. After that select your character, and if you change the colors, you will get a white one and a gold one of THAT CHARACTER ONLY!
Beat training on HARD with all "A"s. When you do you will get an average of "Grand Master". After that select your character, and if you change colors, you will get a white one, a gold one, and a shadow one of THAT CHARACTER ONLY! You will also get the options level as if you beat the game on HARD too.
