Check Out Some Footage of the Elusive Aganos Mirror in Killer Instinct

Mirror matches in fighting games don’t inherently draw much attention. We’ve all seen (and participated in) plenty of them, no matter what game we’re playing, and we’ll certainly see many, many more before we finally shelf our fight sticks for the final time.

However, earlier this week, a good bit of footage surfaced showcasing one of the rarer sights in the fighting game universe: the Killer Instinct Aganos mirror. In the footage below, Leo Ferreis faces off against N1ghtSlash and LiFE0NMARSx, each in a best-of-three set. You’ll certainly notice that the matches take place at a much slower pace than your average round of Killer Instinct, and are perhaps good deal more intense for that reason.

To take a look at these matches, check out the drop-down boxes below.
