Killer Instinct (2013)

Hmm? What system war?.. I think what I asked was a fair question. Also, in my case at least, it’s not as much a ‘system war’ or whatever, as it is not supporting companies whom’s business practices you don’t condone. If there are people that will purchase the xbox to play one title, good for them. I won’t be one of those, but I’m not here to create some stupid console wars. I asked a damn question pertaining to my choices, no point in being so defensive. That being said, I am excited to finally see the franchise move forward, obviously. That’s why I do wish for them to expend on other platforms down the road, reaching as much people as possible and have a solid community.

The above statements werent really geared towards you Faith.

Came up with an idea on how to balance Shadow Breakers.

Good point, it’s a knee jerk reaction from people working in or interested in IT to bash MS on any level available. Not really a system war on my end, mind. If xb1 turns out to be solid, I’ll buy one just like I have computers with windows on them. Won’t make me loathe MS any less all the same :stuck_out_tongue:

As for Ki, I want Titality back obviously!
Orchid + girlpower ftw.
And I’d love to see right balance instead of Mk9 - iGaU level of fundamentally broken nonsense. That’s no worse match ups than 6-4 or 7-3 at the very worst but even that’s crap.
All the cast back and a few new faces too if they can manage it.
But if it only has K1 characters and that’s balanced, I’ll be playing it for years to come.

Spinal not having his teleoports and character changes is like Jago not having his fireballs and flash kick. I dont think you have nothing to worry about.

I refer to KI2

The idea is nice, but like i stated before, Shadow Breaks are already kind of balanced. Theyre not balanced if youre not smart and dont take the time to learn different combos.

I was speaking to glortor, but its statements like the one you made that always stir up this crap either way. Just saying after this point if anything derrogatory towards Microsoft riles people up into system wars, I will get mods to clean things up so we can get back to the gameplay and features of…the game.

I know everyone is excited about the game and I’m glad glortor is as well, its just we need to steer away from comments that obviously lead to “Xbone sucks, not for me so not getting it” that always leads to a thread derail.

My point. It’s beneficial to everyone to just speak about the game itself and the features, not the console or your feelings on what it should be on and what not. Please keep all that talk to a minimum if not at all.

Well, if someone starts that kind of crap you simply ignore them and the fire will die off. You ignite it by responding to it, or being defensive. You’re smart enough to know how much the discussion will devolve if you engage in that kind of debate, so why do it, just carry on with the discussion. Like I said, there’s no need for this fuss. But I see where you’re coming from.

Anyways I’ll get back to lurking.

Spinal had teleports in KI2 didnt he? If im not mistaken its teh same animation used in his KI2 combo breaker.

I was referring to the character transformations. He did have telports in KI2, but they were drastically nerfed due to him needing a skull to do so. Im hoping he gets his costless teleports back and becomes like KI1 spinal, constant mixups and pressure game.

Ya your right, he needed to absorb attacks with his shield to teleport and cast skulls. I thought that was a really cool mechanic though i wouldn’t mind seeing that kind of stuff come back. Didn’t Sabre Wulf need to howl to gets bat projectiles also?? Not sure if that was KI1 or 2… How the hell is teleport not a word recognized by spell checks.

Game looks sick. If ms really did change the bs policies, ill be one of the people buying xbox1 mainly for KI. In fact Xbox exclusives are the only reason I would get xbox1, bs policies aside. If all Xbox exlclusives went multi platform I’ll be getting ps4 for sure.

Sabres howl in KI1 gave him shadow power. Howl in KI2 led to those pillars for juggle combos. In KI1, Sabre could just throw bats.

Not starting anything, Microsoft did change the controversial policies to the ones that you know now that’s been in gaming forever. The only difference is that all disc based games must be installed (you can play while it’s installing after a certain point btw). So if that’s the case, based off of your quote, you should buy an Xbox One and play KI to your hearts content. I will tell you that KI is a digital download game only, as of right now (it seems it may stay that way actually). Now that that is out of the way, enjoy the discussion that is KI.

I’m hoping for some news from SDCC but not hearing any so far.

Microsoft’s Comic-con schedule.

KI is only going to be featured in their booth. Unless Ken Lobb gives KI info in the future of Xbox gaming panel we probably won’t get any new info.

Look, I understand you guys don’t like console war stuff brought into this thread. That’s fine. We get it. But if you guys keep insisting on posting factually inaccurate information about the Xbox One, people are going to keep coming here and telling you that you’re wrong. It’s not fair of you guys to mislead SRK users in such a manner. Some people here might not be following the controversy.

MS did not change all of its polices. Only the always on internet/DRM policy. The system is still region locked. You still can not use the system at all if you live in an unsupported region (servicemen/expats/importers). There is still an always on camera/mic that gathers information for targeted advertising.

If you’re OK with all of these things, that’s none of my business. Just don’t try to claim that no controversy remains. There is plenty.

Sorry. You may now return to your regularly scheduled discussion.

Actually they also dropped the region lock, system is now region free.

Sorry for bringing back the topic btw

Mataku…People should really know stuff before you post. Granted this is the internet and there is plenty of that. If youre gonna complain or correct, have your facts correct and backed up.
