Ok. This video has many implications that could definitely help the FGC and just in general. Auto-bracketing. Online tournaments. AUTO-BUTTON CHECKING. Twitch stuff. I can’t wait for the information to come out but Xbox One’ Kinect and Killer Instinct look really good.
EDIT: Also…I asked Beserker Mike a question on twitter about counter-breakers.
I wouldn’t be surprised if MikeZ helped come up with some of those ideas.
I remember hearing somewhere that double helix said they were also gonna get arcade machines. They still doing that?
Kinda figured that’s how it would go, but still good for confirmation.
This sounds awesome, also very very good question!! Props for being a deep thinker.
Here are a few pics I snapped while in the KI area at Evo for those interested.

Amazing, you actually managed to get pictures of when i wasnt up on the sticks xD They had to kick me off a few times before they implemented the best of 3 only xD
Also that integration proves to be promising. I look forward to it. Actually, that thing is perfect for locals. Everyone tends to stick to the games they like and it ends up being the same players every time almost with a few exceptions here and there. This means that all those players will automatically be registered in the system. No more button checks. Right to the matches. Interesting
Yo, those Kinect/Cloud features are sick! Def needed at my house for casuals.
Agreed. Itll be difficult for the system though to pick a character for me. Im fickle when it comes to picking characters since i generally play a few xD
I hear ya. Hopefully what Kinect does for you can be set and turned off via some menu in the options.
It would be rather stupid if they didnt give you an option to turn it off. I dont think theyre that dumb xD
What I think it does is not literally pick your character but just have them automatically highlighted for easy access. I think for tournaments, offline, part of your “registration” would be signing into an xbox(es) for it to recognize you and setup your buttons (if internet is around maybe it will have that info already and you just have to download your profile). It would just be apart of the process. Then people wouldn’t have to button check anymore. Just sit down and play. Definitely make registering longer but the games would go by quicker. I definitely see the rest of the fighting games taking that route if it is as good as I think it would be. Kudos to Double Helix for that, and being the first fighting game for the next generation makes them set some standards.
Love the idea. What better way to show people how close minded they are about the Kinect than to make it work for fighting game tournaments? Good shit.
Had no idea Buktooth was working on Killer Instinct too! That is a really good indicator that this is gonna be a game that is quality! i’m extra hype now!
I haven’t seen a full panel video link yet on YouTube. Thanks for the IGN link. Hopefully someone will post the full session at some point.
Yea, I’m also awaiting the EVO panel link…I NEED MOAR INFO!
Also, it seems that Gamescom is when all will be revealed. A month away, but also a month closer. And if they are going to announce launch specifics, that may also reveal that MS will reveal the Xbox One launch date by then.
I thought Xbone was confirmed to launch November?
I think they mean the exact launch date, not a soft time zone.
