Killer Instinct eGuide THUNDER

INTRODUCTION

At his core, Thunder is a grappler. His goal is to knock his opponent down, then force a strong guessing game between his command grab and combo Openers from that point on. Some may claim that a grappler doesn’t fit into a combo heavy game like Killer Instinct, but Thunder’s unique combo mechanics and Instinct Mode make up for this. One of the slowest characters in the game, Thunder's mobility is an issue ... until he activates his Instinct Mode, that is. Then he becomes a grappler who can dash through attacks to put the pressure on up close.
