Interesting that around the 45 minute mark in that video they pretty much confirm that no mercies WILL be in the game post launch. Last I had heard they still weren’t a definite and were up in the air.
Never thought I’d say it but I really need to play Thunder. he looks liek that dude
The more I see this game, the more I salivate. The look of this game just looks absolutely perfect. The combo’s look fluid and much more majestic than the other 2 games, ESPECIALLY KI 2. Its taking away the disappointment of knowing the game won’t be “complete” at launch. Can’t wait till next Thursday when we get more footage. I’m still not expecting to see Orchid next week though, they’ve seemed to wait a few weeks after teasing a character to completely reveal her
Yeah slowly the game is starting to be more and more like the old game presentation wise.
I pretty much liked everything so far with the launch except the whole no option to just pay up front for all of the basic content (simply the characters). Despite that, I still don’t mind it too much overall since in the end it means we’ll be spending a lot less now, for a more robust game later. Instead of dropping 60 dollars down for a game right now, I can just throw 20 on it and have 20 dollars easily saved up by next year for the next season. We’re finally getting the future of fighting games where essential features that should be in fighting games aren’t left out (like they are out of full 60 dollar plus fighters). The value will definitely come in the long run when we get a strong set of characters, some really good netcode and frame data in the menus.
Yeah he’s starting to grow on me more too. He’s definitely the most visceral character of the game so far other than Sabrewulf. Nothing like plowing 2 axes into your opponent and slamming them into the ground with lightning striking their body when you stomp on them.
It doesn’t have to be as big as a Capcom game for the scene to be as big or hype. KOF is a shoe-in for this year’s EVO despite SF having 4x as many players due to it’s hype. However, worst case scenario is that it ends up as an XBO version of TvC (Great Game by the way.)
Thunder is really interesting, I’m really liking how each of the characters in this game play and look differently. The roster may be smaller but it is incredibly varied.
Colors look sick, Purple Drank Glacius is my secondary.
That and MS is going to be putting some serious money behind this, so it’ll attract some “Mercenary” players lol.
Jago and Glacius still seem the most interesting to me.
I showed some friends Sadira stuff earlier today. Basically sold 3 X1’s.
You’re welcome M$.
Damb, I know this had been said a million times but Sadira looks freakin’ awesome. I’m guessing her instinct mode (or is it shadow mode…? Sorry, I’m still trying to wrap my head around all this stuff lol) puts webs EVERYWHERE and she can zoom towards them at will pretty easily. Jeebus.
Also her alt colors are awesome and seeing her kicking ass does something weird to my crotch. Love the sandy brown color variant.
@caribeandragon, it would have been a little bit nicer if you didn’t go throwing around an obvious troll title for an Orchid reveal. There’s a lot of serious ass Killer Instinct fans who are trying to see Orchid and people aren’t going to take kindly to people throwing out “Orchid Reveal” with a game that isn’t Killer Instinct. Cute game you got there, but it’s not Killer Instinct.
You obviously mislead people to promote your mugen work. It’s not that people are lashing out at you because it’s Mugen, they lash out because you are being sneaky and dishonest.
I’m surprised there’s barely any comment about Sadira’s Instinct Mode, it looks so fucking cool. Seriously I was skeptic at first but this chick’s a great addition to the cast.
The game looks so crazy from that new stream, I feel it’s changed a lot from the demo at EVO. I remember when the demonstration came on before finals it looked…interesting, but now it looks freaking great.
Shadow moves are basically ES/EX moves. The only Killer Instinct that had super moves was KI2 and those were taken out of the new game. So basically none of the meters are used for traditional super purposes like other fighting games.
Instinct mode is basically a mix of SFIV Ultra, XF and Injustice trait. Can use it to cancel the recovery of anything including combo breakers. Fills up like an ultra for getting hit or doing successful combo breakers. When it’s full, instead of getting K groove/XF style generic buffs to your speed or damage, you get a character specific buff like a trait to make things more diverse. So basically you are referring to her Instinct. The only character with the generic “damage” buff is Sabrewulf and his instinct also makes his normals do chip damage.
Which Shadow move are you talking about?
Shit, I meant her Instinct Mode.
I can already see a ton of vicious mixup possibilities with it.
It’s also a very nice tool to limit your opponent’s mobility.
Now I think you’re trolling. Nobody likes Maya.
I like Maya, she is way better then the generic boxer
honestly maya’s character design in kI2 suck but i love her “stage” and her “amazone attitude”, i think a remake of her should be very impressive
his boyfriend Tusk is cool too
I never did get why people hated Maya so much. Personally I’m not a fan of Kim Wu (because she comes off as a Sakura/Yuri clone made for KI), but I can’t see the disdain for the Amazon. I even thought she had a good ending, marrying Tusk and assuring the past wouldn’t fall under UltraTech/Gargos’ control.
Also, shame on you for badmouthing TJ Combo. Could a generic Boxer knock the fuck out of a Velociraptor?
I think NOT! =)
I have feeling Riptor’s gonna make it into S1, guys. Peeps have been saying Fulgore, but in my opinion Fulgore is pretty much the ‘posterboy’ of Kay-Eye, who else would be the perfect opener of an eventual Season 2? Season 1’s roster should be rounded out by a couple of ‘freak’ characters. We need a bio engineered super dino and maybe a skeleton warrior.
Kim Wu and Maya were cool looking to me in 1996, but yeah now they look a bit generic. Hopefully they’ll get that Thunder shape up and look more edgy.
Kim would look alot better in the more modern art style.
The horribly misproportioned KI1/2 characters just look ugly by modern standards.
