oh also, killer instinct season 1 ultra edition (so all costumes + extras) is this month’s games with gold free game, down from $40

and this week, KI season 2 ultra edition (more extras) is $20 with a gold sub, down from $40

so you can own all the KI content for $20 if you have a gold subscription, and it’ll transfer to PC

i imagine not many of you have a XBL gold account anymore but thought i’d share, hopefully they put some stuff on sale around S3’s release in march as well

I do, but no Xbox One.

you can log into the xbox website with your gamertag and pick it up (if you have an active gold account), no need to use an xbox one

the only reason you’d do it is if you were interested in playing on PC in march, since all your purchases transfer

brutal time for KI to come out on PC as I have limited spare time and i’m going to put that spare time towards SFV.
not a good decision by KI

to be fair to KI, it decided on march release date before SFV announced its date

but yes i agree that it’s a pretty brutal time and i wish they had done some early PC beta or something

graham wolfe has been pwning in sfv – good to see an OG taking it back.

I’m actually pretty excited for SFV, KI and MKX all around the same time. As someone who basically only plays fighting games and the odd rpg, I’m super stoked to get to play a bunch of games again. With those three games at once I won’t get a chance to burn out on a particular fighting game.

Mika and maybe Laura for SF until Alex comes out, Riptor or golem guy in KI, and Sektor for MKX wuuu. Haven’t gotten to play a game with mains I’m all that interested in in a long while.

why did you stop playing mkx last year?

The netcode is like 90% of the reason. The rest was a combination of no Baraka/Sektor and being salty at my evo performance.

My schedule means if I can’t enjoy a game in the comfort of my home at weird hours online, I’m probably not gonna play it. And MKX was indeed unplayable online. But everyone seems to be saying it’s pretty great now, and we already know KI’s is top of the line, so yay.

GC Yoshi is actually known for the raw S. It’s a running joke and he kinda plays along with it.

I wish Ketchup and Mustard would move to NA and commentate more games…

Even yo man Seth Killian ridin’ their hype train

Quality commentators are hard to come by

Zomg Sektor and Cyrax look suuuuu cool. I’m so damn excited - my screen is all white and sticky now.

Only complaint is their names still show up as “Triborg” :frowning:

Edit: shiiieeeet Triborg has a secret fourth variation - Cyber Sub-Zero is back tooooo. 4 characters in onnnee. Quadriborg hype!
