I just beat eyedol with 2 more characters and have some tips.

with TJ Combo:
Charge Back then Forward+Strong Kick
he'll do a flying knee 9 times out of 10 Eyedol will block it but it will do chip damage ... just keep doing it over and over again for an easy victory


with Sabrewulf:
Charge Back then Forward+Strong Kick
he'll squat down then pounce toward Eyedol, again eyedol will block 9 times out of 10... however because there's no spacing after the hit any small slip up and Eyedol will combo you

So after 1 or 2 of the pounce move, when you're really close to Eyedol do this combo:
Charge Back Then Fordware+Strong Punch, Back+Medium Kick, Forward+Medium Kick.
This should do a spin attack then after a few small hits uppercut Eyedol into the air. DO NOT do this combo unless you're right up next do him, he will usually block the first few hits then let his guard down allowing you to finish the combo, however if you start the spin move too far away he will be able to block the whole spin move and then combo your ass...

Don't jump in toward him either because he'll destroy you that way too...

so do the pounce move once or twice to get in close then combo him... rinse and repeat.

I'm also playing on version 1.4, not sure if it makes a difference.


EDIT:
I was on a real KI Classic kick tonight and knocked out a bunch more achievements... I also completed the game with Spinal... beating eyedol with spinal was a real pain the ass... probably the hardest yet but if you do decide to try your luck I did it with some well placed jump kicks, some well placed slide kicks and this combo

Forward, Forward+Strong Punch, Back+Medium Punch, Down, Down, Down, Down+Any button

like Saburwulf you need to be in very close when starting the combo or else you'll be destroyed.

---------

There is supposedly a glitch that allows you to throw infinite fireballs with Spinal once you've got at least 1 skull... I personally couldn't get the move down but if you can it makes defeating Eyedol easy when used with eyedol's health recharge glitch:

Thanks for the write up, will give it a go soon.

Also looks like my pins have been shipped so should get them real soon.

[Likey]

Just checked and the PAX KI pins are still available.

Shame there's no way to see how many are in stock.

I continued on my KI Classic kick and 100% completed the achievements.

so if you or anyone else needs help just let me know

The TJ Combo method I mentioned for Eyedol is without a doubt the easiest way to take down Eyedol... you can pretty much perfect him if you have decent timing and a little bit of luck. I used him to get the "Thrifty" achievement (beating the game on 1 credit).

Impressive!

I ended up beating Eyedol with Orchid and TJ Combo, using anyone else is just nearly impossible.

I had to use my controller as I packed away my KI fight stick.

[twistedsymphony]

oooh you have a fight stick.

I'd love to have one but I find it hard to justify the cost considering I could build one that's better quality for less than half the price.

glad you got the challenge completed

I got it on eBay back in January when it was near impossible to get one! The seller was from the UK and it was near-new so I was pleased.

They've recently announced the new ones for Ultra Street Fighter IV and comes in 2 flavours, one for PS3/4 and one for Xbox 360/One.

Unfortunately the KI is only locked to Xbox One. So unless they update the drivers to work for other platforms it sucks to own it for that reason.

I do love it as it feels amazing to use and worth the money I reckon. Fortunately for you it is a lot cheaper in the US compared to the UK.

Yeah but it's still $200 here in the US. Considering recently built a 2 player control panel for a custom arcade machine using 100% genuine Sanwa arcade parts from japan and it only ran me $120 (for 2 players)... a $200 price tag for 1 stick is hard for me to justify.

People that sell stick building parts within the Fighting game community have a control board that works with PS3/Xbox 360 and PC right now, in a little while they'll probably make a new version that also supports Xbox One and PS4 so I'll look into buying/modding a stick once that comes out.

For now KI is the only game I can't use a stick with so I'll deal with it for now... hopefully there are some other options come Season 2.

[Likey]

Yeah let's see what becomes available then.

I paid £185 for mine which is about the same as the rrp (recommended retail price). Compared to $200 that is insanely expensive but it's about the same if I imported it I suppose.

I've neglected the game for ages, must get back on it again as that was the sold purpose of getting the Xbox One.

Please post any news on new pin challenges etc.

Many thanks.
