Cinder

Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 195 lbs
Age: 31 years old

Bio: Ben Ferris, a small-time criminal with counts of assault, breaking and entering and arson on his record, is the latest convict to be bought out of jail for Ultratech's twisted uses. His fate is to be used as a human guinea-pig in the company's chemical weapon developments, an unexpected side-effect leaving him consumed by fire but somehow, much to his own horror, still alive, as a living flame. He is kept confined in a top-security block until Ultratech decide to enter him into the tournament under the codename Cinder to defeat Glacius fairly and in full public view, his freedom providing the ultimate incentive.

Cinder also has my favorite music theme in the game.

Bitter encounter between him and Glacius before they fight in the KI tournament.

Cinder was my second-favorite character in "Killer Instinct".

It would've been nice if he was in the sequel.

And he was my 1st favorite. 😛 xd

Well, your 1st favorite got defeated by my 1st favorite. 😉

lol That's anticlimactic. 😄

Yep, but it's somewhat weird how a fire warrior got defeated by an ice warrior.

You'd think Cinder would win the match since he had an elemental advantage over Glacius.

Well, I guess having an advantage over your opponent doesn't guarantee victory.

Anyway, he had some nice finishers.

Yeah..
And cool! I was thinkin' about posting that sooner or later. Always loved using his first finisher (on the SNES), or the Super Inferno as I call it. Looks even better on the arcade version there.
As for that Ultra Combo at the end.. wow. Might as well call that an 'infinite' combo because of that flip kick. xD That's awesome, but no wonder people consider Cinder to be so broken.. He's still my favorite fighter to use though.

Well, all of the finishers in Killer Instinct look better in the arcade version.

Yeah, his flip kick allowed you to continue with the combo as long as you timed it right.

Yep. ^^

Bah. I guess I can't really argue with this.. =(

Wow, I didn't know he was so broken.

LoL. I remember pissing off my friend back in the day. I always chose Cinder because I loved his design. I had no idea he was this broken though. Still cool!

Me neither until I saw that vid last night..
I hope the complaints about his brokenness didn't have anything to do with him not being in KI2/KI Gold.

I'm sure it did.

Always wanted to have a Human Torch-like character in a fighting game anyway (before I came across Killer Instinct), and Cinder delivered.

Do you like Pyron from the Darkstalkers franchise? He looks like the Human Torch, but with horns.

Which talks really bad about them. They couldn't just tone him down. No they just killed him off. >=\

Here I am hoping for a Kazuya-like resurrection from Cinder.

Though story-wise, Cinder wanted to die if he didn't manage to defeat Glacius in the tournament (which he didn't), so meh. A Kazuya-like resurrection could still be possible though, which I'm hoping for if KI3 turns out to be more than just a rumor, in which case, I hope Eyedol comes back too, and battles Gargos or somethin'.

You are not the only one hoping for a new KI. I am fond of that franchise. Back in the day my fighting games were SF, MK & KI. I liked SNK too, but I was more into those 3.

Weren't there rumors about a third Killer Instinct game?

Boo.
I bet there were probably faggy petitions or somethin' to not bring back Cinder in KI2 as well (before it came out). 😬
Nothing's sacred in the world of gaming when people make actual demands to ruin an experience for someone else.

I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens to Metaknight from SSBB...
