I doubt it’s has to do with the look. The gametrailers has the dev mention the suit gives him lighter weight which is why he has a floaty jump. There must be plot relevance to it.
I wouldn’t worry too much about the new look, there will be alt costumes. They already have the model.
Im thinking Glacius users will have ample meter. People are gonna have to block allot of this zoning.
Those combos are incredible. I’ve never seen that kind of stuff before really, let alone in a KI title. I like the new look. He looks less MARVEL 90’s ICEMAN and more of an alien of some kind, which he is supposed to be.
His new stage is boss, too. I liked his previous model from the trailer a bit more, but this new take will def grow on me.
Actually I’m down for this new look! And those full screen combos are siiiiiiiick!
Glacius stage looks AMAZING!
I notice Glacius fireball is different, he summons it from above his head and it floats really slow…
Glacius can also summons spikes from the ground? Looks like the same animation as his old FB… But then he can also stomp the ground to summon spikes… Can’t wait to figure out how that works!
Spotted Icepick, not sure if a command normal or a special move…
In general the Shadow Move effect looks a lot better!
Also noticed the changed the “ultra” indicator “danger”. Makes sense.
The big question: Can his fullscreen combos be broken?!
I love the new color. Looks sick on him especially his black color
I’m sure that’s a yes. It’s Killer Instinct, every combo outside of an Ultra or Ultimate can be broken…
OK, need more info but

Did I hear that right? You can now COUNTER a COMBO BREAKER!?!? My Hype can’t take much more if this is true!
Puddle Punch – now can be used as a reversal
Cold Shoulder – lets you close the distance and get up close
Icepick – seems to have reduced range, maybe the HP version has a bigger spike?
Hail – His new fireball, replaces the bouncey ball. Summons a fireball over his head. Range/angle determined by button strength. Can be used as an anti-air.
Shatter – Summons ice clone from the ground. Lets you start combos from anywhere. Unblockable move! Cannot hit you if you are in pre-jump or blockstun. So basically has throw properties.
Icelance – horizontal version of Icepick, seems to serve the same purpose as Shatter…
BTW I noticed for his P ranged double he does the same ground punch animation as his old KI1 fireball. NICE!
Also I noticed they changed the CH effect from those chunks of yellow stuff to a flash of yellow lightning. Thats cool I guess? Didn’t bother me before lol.
COUNTER BREAKER HOLY SHIT BALLS.
From what I can tell from the Counter Breaker if you pull it off you immediately reset the hitstun meter.
Holy Shit @_@
I bet the meter gain is going to be nerfed before release.
Probably, because it is ridiculously high right now. I mean Vanilla Mahvel high.
Also, heard a rumor that Glacius’ Instinct Mode gives him Super Armor…he is looking more beastly by the update!
That’s not a rumor…Double Helix said it outright in their Glacius Walkthrough on Gametrailers.
COUNTER BREAKERS!!!?! HOLY SH*T! 
Glacius looks VERY dope! If they add a Grappler too w/ chain throws then i will be officially obsessed with this game.
As awesome as the counter breaker is in concept, they cant make that shit free. I watched that vid a few times and Glacius didnt loose any health super bar or instinct meter when he performed the counters. If left unchecked that will break this whole game day one, make combo beakers useless againsts players super human reactions like 60% of the marvel players. This mechanic cant be free…
Agreed. It has to cost half-meter, or Instinct Meter so it can be controlled. But still, the idea of Counter Breakers brings a whole new layer of Techincal ability to this game. Now when you go for that huge combo leading to the Ultra, you can bait out a Combo Breaker and Counter it to clench the win.
I say make it cost full shadow meter. Or cost half Instinct Meter. Countering a combo breaker should be expensive as hell.
Still so terribly saddened at the fact it is xb1 exclusive. Was my favorite back in the day and constantly counted the days it would be made again. Maybe, just maybe, it will fail so bad that they will sell the name back to Rare to be re-done properly.
How about before stating what restrictions it has we wait until Double Helix explains the mechanic thoroughly.
