Hi!
This is the first part of my Killer Instinct definitive edition guide. Since it's my first guide, please be patient if I made mistakes and help me to make it better with your feedback.

I'll start with some notes:

1 Note that I'm using an xbox 360 controller here, so I'll use A, B, X and Y keys. If you have an xbox1 controller, press the correspondent buttons.

2 All the menues do wrap.

3 I'm playing with the Italian edition. I've tried to translate the concepts of the options names as best as I can, however, the wording may be slightly different from the english version.

4 The guide is still very incomplete. I'll fill the spaces as I play and depending on my sighted friends availability to help me. It shouldn't take too long.

And now, let's start!

When you lounch the game, you'll be on the logo screen. You'll hear a voice saying killer instinct. After that, Press A
