If the bait isn't taken for the Breaker, the combo ends and the attacker is left open for the punish.Īn Ultra Breaker was introduced in Killer instinct 2/Gold, In order to break them, you must have at least one full level on the Super Meter. If the Combo Breaker lands while the attacker feints, they'll instantly Lock-Out the defender for 4 seconds (in comparison to 3 seconds for usual Lock-Outs) and the attacker may keep attacking, refreshing the knockdown value gauge to make for an even longer combo. The player baits the breaker in the middle of the combo with a feint, signified by a low tone. It is described as "breaking the breaker," where the attacker can defend themselves from a Combo Breaker and continue their combo uninterrupted. Later, in Season 3, Combo Breakers were adjusted so the attacker would no longer be knocked down, but instead flipped backwards so that they could move back into the battle much faster.Ī Counter Breaker is another new move introduced in Killer Instinct (2013). They are performed just like the ground versions. In Killer Instinct (2013)'s Season 2, aerial Combo Breakers were introduced, giving more depth to aerial combat. Upon getting Locked-Out, the player cannot Combo Break for three seconds (four seconds if Counter Broken) or until the combo ends. This is signified by an X on top of the opponent's head with either the strength of the correct button or a clock signifying incorrect timing of the breaker attmept. In addition, a penalty called Lock-Out is issued to a player that misses a Combo Breaker. In the case of Shadow Moves, a player presses a punch and a kick of any strength three times at the frame of each subsequent hit to successfully break - this results in what is called a Shadow Breaker. Upon a successful Combo Breaker, the breaker will gain some Instinct Meter and reset all potential damage racked up by the combo (note that it no longer deals damage to the attacker). The strength of an attack can be examined by how the other character reacts upon being hit. Combo Breakers can be executed by observing the strength of attacks in the combo and pressing both the punch and kick out of the corresponding strength - for example, if a player wants to Combo Break out of a heavy double, they would press both heavy punch and heavy kick to break out of it. In Killer Instinct (2013), Combo Breakers became a much more vital part of battle. Combo Breakers also do not work on ender moves. Combo Breakers cannot be performed after a certain amount of hits have been performed by the attacker, so the move must be done quickly upon being caught in a combo. When done correctly, the defender breaks out of the combo, deals a large amount of damage, and resets all potential damage. When caught in a combo, the defender can interrupt the sequence by performing one of their special moves, differing between each character. In the original Killer Instinct and Killer Instinct 2/Gold, Combo Breakers were not quite as essential and more of a side tactic.
