Arcade mode won't arrive until both Fulgore and Spinal are released, Dojo Mode is full of depth, and Survival Mode takes some inspiration from Mortal Kombat's Challenge Tower.

Our Arcade mode is going to come out when we've done the eight characters," Fornace said. "So it's not going to be at launch, at launch we're going to have six -- Orchid's the last -- and then we'll have two more following up post-launch."

For instance, an extensive practice mode called Dojo will be available for players looking to learn the ins and outs of the combat in Killer Instinct. "We start out, we go through the basics, stuff you'll see in other fighting games like navigation, blocking, crouching, jumping, throws, specials, and then we go into Killer Instinct specific things, like combos; Ultras, which are the finishers, and Instinct Mode." Interestingly enough, the Dojo mode will also display hit boxes, frame data, and other information such as damage output for the hardcore fighters. These features are rare, and it's a clear indication of the respect they have for the community by providing them.

The survival mode will also take advantage of Killer Points, in-game currency, to help you skip the harder matches or jump ahead a few matches. "The way it works is you pick a difficulty and you go in, and you're basically playing a long chain, and after each match you regenerate health, but as you go on you generate less and less, and even if you do beginner difficulty, as you get to the higher numbers the CPU does start getting tougher, so you'll still hit a limit. You set your difficulty to where you're at -- so if you set it to Champion it'll start hard and get even worse."
