In one of Maximilian's latest visits to Double Helix Games he was introduced to a combo that is being called the "Filthie Combo" named after Double Helix community manager, Filthie Rich. While Max explains that this combo doesn't do a great deal of damage - the point is that is may be very hard for your opponent to break IF you can pull it off. This combos requires precise timing on both the aggressor and the defender. Check out Max's video below to get a real feel for the depth that Killer Instinct is bringing come November 2013.

there are a lot of ambiguities about how manual links are integrated into the overall "golden path" of regular auto doubles and linkers

according to the frame data, linking a close HK after a HK wind kick shouldn't even be possible

http://www.primagames.com/games/killer-instinct/feature/killer-instinct-frame-data-analysis-jago

Note, that when you go for a manual link, it's actually what's called a "manual cancel" and you break out of the recovery of the move 5 frames sooner, meaning that the window to manual link is actually the listed Advantage-On-Hit +5 frames

EDIT upon further inspection it appears as though ONLY the first special in a combo adheres to the listed data and counts as a pseudo-opener.

After that all the specials must be performed as light/medium/heavy linkers in the SAME WAY as done when on the Golden Path BUT have their own unique set of hit advantage which is obviously enough to hit a close HK

NOTE: the close round house is totally for swag only; you could also link a close fierce there for an easier window
