Yeah Killer Instinct (and Darkstalkers) heavily inspired Marvel. Naming combos and making everything over the top is what KI is about. They would even purposely make the sound louder during fatalities as a way to draw a crowd over to the arcade cabinet. Killer Instinct is just good old shit blowing up in your face like the 80s and 90s were about.
I think it’s less about people trying to dictate how the game “should” be and more of people saying “Wow, these particle effects that happen every time fireballs collide with each other that fill the entire god damn screen and make it hard to see ANYTHING are fucking obnoxious and dumb and I personally don’t like it.”
It’ll just be a downloadable release on the Xbox Two if need be also.
Xbox One or not, this is the only next gen game I wanna play. If this is gonna be playable at Evo I’m all over it.
I’m lovin it
The particles are beautiful! The designs and animations look superior to sf4.
Anyone not in these countries shouldn’t expect to get this game any time soon.

First Mame now arcade machine access… feelin nostalgic.
Well the latest stuff from the new KI looks like they want to recapture the FUN the game had (essentially KI 1)… I do hope we get the Original cast plus a few from 2 (Kim Wu please) an maybe some new ones.
That might explain how Mike Z got around not having update fees on Skull Girls
KI was the first game that made combos an actual feature of the game, yeah earlier fighters had combos but that was a bug exploit not a feature. Capcom just decided not to fix the bug in later versions of SF II as it added a dynamic in the game they didn’t expect. In Later SF titles they made Combos a feature and KI shown it was possible.
wonder if they’ll make all the females look like janet jackson again…lol.
i want this game sooooo bad but can’t shell out 500 for it.
praying for a pc release or somehow someway that this gets onto ps4.
not completely excited until i see my main (orchid).
I love the sparks that fly over the place. I played SF4 yesterday and the lack of sparks suddenly bothered me. It actually makes more sense to have all those sparks fly out after a large ball of fire explodes in your face and knocks you back a few steps, than for it to completely disappear with little to no effect.
I need that demo.
TIL fighting game players can be separated into two groups - those who like sparks and those who don’t.
lol, awesome post.
Not having Orchid is like not having Chun Li. Look what happened with SF3 lol.
She’ll come back in the 3rd update to the game and be god tier?
Who said Orchid wasn’t gonna be in it?
Need more Glacius gameplay. He was in the reveal trailer and got no follow up. I don’t want to wait until Evo.
Yeah that sucks she wasn’t revealed in the first trailer. She is the main hero amongst females and the second main hero in the series.
Plus she is Jago’s older sister and she is iconic to the series, hope she is next
Lord Raiden confirmed.
