And now I feel 20% dirtier.
As for Kim Wu, she’s not needed. I would love to see Tusk & Maya return, especially since their debut would mean their one of the few Fighting Game Couples that made it (other than Mai and Bogus Bogard), but Kim Wu has that Sakura factor to me. Like she’d be nothing more than an inexperienced female Jago.
I say bring back the entire roster! KI needs all the characters it can get and keep in mind Kim Wu will be getting a complete redesign so she might end up being way more badass then before. I can see the Nunchaku moves being pretty cool…

Check out the character designer Eric Canete’s (guy who designed Jago) blog might give us some idea what the female characters could end up looking like http://kahnehteh.blogspot.com/
I’m new to KI, but I think the game does look good.
Just curious if someone could help me out explaining the lingo, “linkers, auto doubles” etc. I know the regular fighting game lingo, but this is new to me. Care to explain?
Ps- when you guys type in xbone, I keep reading it as x-bone, like the console is gonna bone you.
KI never had a grappler (or any grappling moves for that matter). I wonder if we would see one. Maybe chain throws or ultra throws?
Yeah, for some here it’s purposeful.
As for the lingo, check page 6. I posted a link explaining them.
I heard rumors the devs are trying to create not only Chain Throw Ultras, but Keepaway/Projectile Ultra Combos.
If the latter is true, I expect ChrisG to be all over it, lol.
The sad thing, and it is sad, is that I was completely leaning PS4 in every way… until I saw this trailer. I am such a rabid KI fan, but I just don’t think I can swallow the pill that MS is serving up.
Damn that Ken Lobb v Maximilian match was pretty fucking great. I can totally see this being competitive if they can sort out that Kinect always on crap.
Do we have that archived/on youtube yet?
its in the Madcatz twitch archive, didn’t see it on Youtube yet…
But then how can I sync my Xbox One so I can play Killer Instinct?
Alright, day’s footage starts at 1:14 about.
I’ll try to look for the time of the Klobb/Max match.
its around the 1:00:00 or 1:30:00 mark.
It’s 1:45
Saw that crosscounter episode and was really impressed with how good the movement looks so far. Reminds me a lot of SF4. The only thing I really hate is the budget looking character select. Can’t wait to see what they do with some pros on the team
If this has been noticed & posted before, my apologies.
I remember Max saying in his rundown video that the music actually escalates as you do an Ultra Combo, right up to when you land the final hits. After watching both Jago & Sabrewulf’s, I think it’s more than that. The hits you put on your opponent actually add beats to the soundtrack as it scales up, leading to the crescendo. In short, you’re laying the beatdown, and the beat down, to your own Ultra Combo Theme.
DAMN!!!
when i was 15 16 some one traded us a snes with killer instinct and mk3, i remember i could tear it up with sabrewolf and in mk3 cyrax, now i bet i could not remember shit , probably wont matter tho
but once again sabrewolf will be my main
Yeah I think they need to have some shit on fire in the background or something lolol!
Yeah even at this early stage the sound design is really fantastic!
With how easy the Ultras seem to be to perform, they’re going to get old really fast.
Same thing with SF4, MK9, MvC3, SFxT, Injustice, etc etc
GODDAMN DiosX doing some double ultra combo video shit on Day -100 lol
