S-rank Killer Instinct Effect Triggered Prematurely by Main Event

Status:	Duplicate
Added by:	atressym on April 1, '26
Reported for:	9.5.2
Actual Result:	Gain unintentional killer instinct as The Trickster.
Expected Result:	When activating main event, a secondary S-rank killer instinct effect should not activate.
Severity:	Minor
Reproducibility:	Frequently
Platform:	Steam
Additional Notes & Comments:	I apologize if I am unable to service any video evidence - my pc has a hard time with recording softwares. If absolutely needed, I will upload a video file.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Obtain S-rank on the trickster through normal means.
2. Wait for the S-rank visual timer to reach the apex of the timer where it would normally end.
3. Press your bound Main Event key at the point above.
4. Depending on server connectivity, you should see the hud icon flicker between E and back to S-rank.
5. After this visual "flicker" occurs, you should have an undue activation of the S-rank killer instinct.

Explanation

When playing The Trickster, after obtaining the S-rank feature through normal actions, you can activate the Main Event power feature right when the S-rank timer is around less than a second remaining (varrying on ping). When you activate Main Event in this way, the game will be tricked into thinking you have gained S-rank once again, and activates the S-rank killer instinct effect once again at the start of main event - when it is only supposed to be obtained when reaching S-rank.
