Recently I have been using the character Omen in Killer Instinct. The following videos cover my first Omen experiences. These videos are live gameplays with real time reactions and commentary. For more comentaries and experiences like these, be sure to follow my stream at Twitch.tv/Jgleez.
For a quick run down of Omen, let’s just say he has a lot of strengths and weaknesses.
He is able to gain three shadow bars which is great. He also gains meter very quickly. He has the ability to shoot one, two or three random fire balls at a time. This helps with zoning tactics as well as making certain rush downs safe.
His flash kick move is great and difficult to break in shadow form since it lands so quickly. His super powered Rose-like orbs are also great for getting in on an opponent and closing down space.
His biggest weakness is the fact he has zero wake up options. This leaves Omen vulnerable and very susceptible to mix ups as well as pressure on knock down. Omen is also relatively weak in comparison to other characters. This forces an Omen user to land more combos and work harder to get the same damage output as other characters.
In my opinion his worst match ups are Spinal, Fulgore, TJ Combo, and Orchid.
Also, don’t forget to check out the awesome Ultra Combo video at the bottom of this page!
Enough talking… Let’s get to it!
I hope you enjoyed these new additions to the Fighter’s Corner. Over the next few weeks I will be posting more videos in this category of the channel. I plan on doing a basic tutorial for fighting game mechanics that translate through all fighting games. If you are looking to begin competing in the fighting game community or just interested in getting better at games like Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, and Street Fighter… these tutorials will be great for you!
