Iron Galaxy Producer and Designer Derek Neal has put together a rather impressive manual for training your Shadows in the Killer Instinct Xbox One game. Below you’ll see posted some portions of the manual that will surely assist you with training your Shadow successfully. To read the full manual in its entirety, be sure to visit the Ultra-Combo website.
THERE IS NO TRULY “BEST” MATCH DATA
Shadow Fighters become better and better at mimicking you the more data they have. Your Shadow Fighter’s memory is made up of all the matches you’ve chosen to save. For best performance, record matches that the Shadow can learn a lot from. This means longer fights, and close matches against strong opponents with lots of good back-and-forth. Short matches tend to contain little data, especially defensive data. Remember: Winning isn’t important, showing your Shadow how you play is!
Note that the ‘best’ matches aren’t necessarily the ones where you steamroll over your opponent! These matches tend to be short, and contain very little data (especially defensive data). Again, it’s better to record close matches against strong opponents, with lots of good back-and-forth.
ALWAYS FIGHT SERIOUSLY.
Trying to train your shadow by doing something outside of the context of a serious fight will tend to make it less accurate to how you actually fight!
For Example: If you want to improve its combo breakers, the best way to do so is by doing better and more consistent combo breakers in actual matches. If you try to train against a friend who you let hit you with combos just so you can break them, your Shadow will learn to stand around and get hit by combos.
SHADOW FIGHTERS CAN LEARN TO ADAPT LIKE YOU.
Shadow Fighters are aware of the general context of the fight, and they can adapt to changes in strategies by your opponent – but only if you have shown it how to adapt!
For Example: if you notice your opponent has been attacking with overheads a lot, and you change your defensive options to compensate. your Shadow Fighter will also be able to notice when opponents do this, and change up its responses once it has.
HELPFUL TIP FOR YOUR SHADOW’S PRIVACY SETTINGS
If you’ve been enjoying Shadows but not sure why you’re not getting challenged more often, it could be your privacy settings.
Here are the full steps:
• Go to the dash
• Push Menu button (three lines one) -> Settings
• Select “Privacy & Online Safety”, on the left.
• Select Custom
• Go over to “See your game and app history” and make sure it’s set to “Everybody”
