Killer Instinct (2013)

Yeah I can’t wait to see him. But I don’t think the flattop is coming back since that was more of a 90s look and it would make him look outdated

It’s funny cause it came out during a similar timeframe too. After a new street fighter, and then a new mk. Although more time has passed, this is great timing on MS’s part. The fighting game scene is strong again. Not mid nineties level but its better than its been in awhile.

I just want to say that I’m glad this thread has moved past the XB1 hate that you see on Eventhubs and the front page.

Always nice to see good gameplay discussion and speculation.

Man KI was huge back in the day and the only fighter with that much success that never got a sequel so it’s gonna have that impact people have been wanting this for so long and some thought it would never happen

I’m one of those people who thought this would never happen under MS. I figured the only way we’d see a new KI was if NRS or some other random studio would by the rights.

Dude I want the whole cast from KI1 and KI2! Although TJ with the flattop would be hilarious I doubt they’ll bring that back.

Me either, but his design (along with Orchid’s) is what I fear for. Might be in the minority but I liked the Flag Wife Beater with the Camo pants & sneakers. That look might be a bit outdated for this day and age, but I just hope they don’t change him too much.

What are ya talkin about? Flattops are like gettin revived
Wild people I know got one now.

Man, it’s not even a fad at this point. The number of flat tops are so small nowadays it’s a joke.

You just mean besides KI2 and Gold?

Camo pants and sneakers? Outdated?

Have you not taken a look at your local urban community?

Niggas wear camo with **EVERYTHING.

here’s my rendition of Orchid http://fav.me/d6aenwi

They might, I see a ton of guys rocking the flattop now. Yesterday after work, I literally saw a Paul Phoenix flattop on this 15 year old looking kid. I had to respect it.

Don’t jinx it.

Yeah, doesn’t mean your eyes won’t bleed when you look at it. I live in Chicago, and I’ve seen enough of that shit for 4 lifetimes.

That…is actually friggin awesome! I prefer her Tonfas in KI2 over her Laser Knives, but the design would definitely work in this game.

Nope all 3 Gold even more than KI2 because it was on N64 and looked damn good

Thanks man :smiley:
IDK I feel like the tonfas are less unique, just reminds me of stryker from MK or Maki from CvS2. How many characters have double laser swords?

New Interview. VERY juicy details mentioned in there.

  • Plans to offer DLC characters, after launch
  • Pre-release program. People can play DLC prior to public release and test them out/help find possible bugs, etc.

And more

Very nice.

Am I the only one that liked KI2 Orchid?

The one where she went from Asian to light-skinned Black girl?

She looked like Janet Jackson back in the day because of the shitty late-90s 3D graphics.

Despite all the negativity surrounding this game, I’m actually looking forward to it. I guess I’m just a slave to my nostalgia. I definitely like the KI music remix.

Finally people are seeing the light…
