played Killer instinct 1 I can see how you confuse it with the second

Write your reply.

assistant: The Raging Demon is Jab,Jab,Towards,Short,Fierce (None are done
        together).  Super Fireball in air is Double Quarter-Circle Towards,
        Punch.  Quarter-Circle Towards is his normal fireball and his air
        fireball.  Half-Circle Towards is his red fireball (3 hits).
        A reversal is done when you hit an opponent right after they hit
        you.  I'm not sure what you mean by a parry, but if you mean an
        alpha counter, it's done when an opponent hits you while blocking.
        Depending on the character you have, you move the controller from
        back to down and press either punch or kick.
