— TJ Combo |
TJ Combo is a playable character in the Killer Instinct franchise.
Appearance
TJ Combo maintains a fairly consistent appearance throughout the Killer Instinct franchise.
In the first game, Combo is depicted as a tall African American man with a fairly muscular physique and short dark hair. Combo wears a red, white and blue star-spangled tank top, black shorts with a red belt and red and white striped socks under his blue and white shoes. His primary weapons are his red boxing gloves.
In the second game, Combo gets some slight changes to his appearance. His tank top is fairly shredded and he now wears long camo pants instead of shorts, along with new American themed shoes. He wears an eyepatch over his left eye, a wound he sustained from Riptor, and he has ditched his boxing gloves for wrist wraps.
In Killer Instinct 2013, TJ Combo's redesign is more in-line with his original appearance when compared to some of the major design overhauls. He now wears a blue workout shirt with the name of his gym on the front, star-spangled blue shorts, long boxing shoes that go up to his ankles but instead of boxing gloves, he now wears red MMA style fighting gloves. He no longer wears the eyepatch from KI2/Gold, and both of his upper arms are covered in long scars from the surgeries that removed his cybernetic implants.

Combo Trait: Auto Barrage - TJ Combo can cancel any hit off any Auto-Double into another Auto-Double of a different strength, punch or kick, as long as that Auto-Double has not been used in the Auto Barrage, i.e. Hard Punch to Medium Kick to Medium Punch etc. until he hits all six buttons. If Combo can successfully go through all six buttons during this combo without getting broken, he goes into a unique ender causing a lot of damage.
Instinct Mode: Name unknown, confirmed effects are giving Combo a blue glow around his body, his scars on his upper arms lightning up and gives him an overall increase in speed. If he is defeated with the instinct meter full, he will have the last breath with 20% life and releases a shockwave of energy that pushes his opponents away and then immediately goes into instinct at half meter.
Signature moves

No Mercy moves:

Notes
- Combo's profile in Killer Instinct 2 describes him as having claimed a "decisive victory over Riptor in the tournament". This very likely indicates Combo killed Riptor in the first game, leading to its absence in the sequel.
