To beat Boss Shadow Jago once is a task that some Killer Instinct players possibly haven't attempted, for any number of reasons. A while before this video's upload, I surprised myself by beating this secret Season 1 boss, first with Jago and then, more recently, with my current main, Fulgore, thus bringing my total victories against this masked modification to 2.

However, what you are seeing, for the first time on this channel, is PC footage of Killer Instinct and along with it, a speed run of sorts. I play through as Fulgore, though with a different colour this time, if memory serves and manage to take down "the hardest boss in fighting game history" (other people's possible term for him, not mine) in what I believe to be the shortest number of fights yet achieved in terms of my own successes at this task.

I do play with combo assist mode (CAM) on, but realistically, the game knows the moves you're trying to input and treats it just the same in terms of what comes out the other side. For all those who have said that CAM is useless or for scrubs etc, please reconsider, it isn't just a set of training wheels but can be applied tactically to allow greater focus on the actual mechanics of gameplay, thus potentially improving your gameplan.

Not that you see any of that here really, of course. Then again, I'm facing an AI. What does it care if I'm using a different set of inputs or not. It still wants to beat me down and as you can see, in places, it makes a fairly significant attempt at doing just that.

If you would like to see a run of this mode with commentary, discussing my strategy etc, feel free to comment and let me know, though I will state now that it's not a guarantee that I'll make it happen. Think of it as a survey of sorts.

I would've trimmed out all the unnecessary footage (going into the incorrect menus, for example) but unfortunately Windows Movie Maker doesn't seem to work well with footage from the game bar in audio terms and there's little to nothing I can do about it at the time of this video's original upload. What you see is the full, unedited process of getting into the game, starting the story and finishing it in just over half an hour, though the story mode itself took less time than that, in part due to the loading times afforded by the well-optimised PC port.
