Oh its not all of it, but doubles deal more raw damage, and more potential damage. Its the main reason why Jago and Sabre’s custom doubles deal such huge amounts of damage.
He actually cashed in the combo twice.
Yeah if we’re going to theorize high level combo play, the scenario that might come up may come into 2 plays.
-
Auto doubles that are higher damage, but easier to break and will require trickery with counter breakers and instinct cancels to throw people off occasionally. This will be go to for people who want to risk a bit for high damage without heavy execution requirements.
-
Manual combos which will do less damage, but will most likely fill the KV meter slower and will be much harder to break. Of course at the expense of less damage (for now) and being stricter in execution.
If at high level play, people really start to make strong reads on auto doubles, this where the “CVS2/SFIV” portion of the game’s execution will come into play. Which will lead to more links and juggles. This will also make it interesting to figure if there will be any help through plink systems. If it’s like traditional 3S/CVS2 links, you’re gonna have to man up on your own for them.
max also clarified something I’d been wondering about, you can’t break if you are being juggled with specials and the other character is on the ground.

Now that’s the way the classic announcer is supposed to sound! Kiiiiiiing Combo!
Glad that finally got cleared up. It was like one dev was saying you can’t break and the other one was saying you could. So I guess it’s just move specific.
I love the way the combo system works. It reminds me a lot of SFxT in a sense where it bridges the gap between those that just want to do combos and those that want to be rewarded for timing things. Instead of SFIV which is “LEARN ONE FRAME LINK OR CANT PLAY MAIN CHARACTER RYU” or Marvel 3 “ABCS BBCS DO A LOT OF DAMAGE” you get a nice medium while eventually having an easier time to break the stuff that does more for less.
Also, i think its important for Auto’s to do more damage (potential anyways). It preserves the risk/reward and prevents the “false choice” situation with auto’s and manuals.
Yeah less stuff that becomes obsolete even though it was coded into the engine the better.
watching that video showed me…i’m coming from a long way back xD
Pre release KI tournament happening in Auckland, New Zealand this weekend. 32 man bracket with finals on Sunday. For the one person that lives there or can fly there from Australia. @mason

Yeah, that would be cool to see. But, alas, I live not in New Zealand.
On that, though, I’m glad the game is being sent to so many places pre-release. People get a chance to try it out (and the controller), and while I’ve not been to one yet, everyone seems to come away with a very positive reaction. From the little we’ve been able to see outside of those venues, it certainly looks incredible!
Can’t wait to try out “Spider Chun-li” Sadira!
:o I LIVE IN AUSTRALIA :D…butttt i don’t have the money to head to NZ 
Why would they hold that in New Zealand of all places? Peter Jackson don’t give a fuck about KI.
Just to reach out to other countries. I would like them to do a tournament in Uzbekistan also. Laos would be nice too.
Nonsense! Peter Jackson will do the movie soon, and Andy Serkis will give a stirring performance as Riptor.
Im prolly just gonna go back to my mains from KI1. Cinder(if he is the last one), and Spinal. I hope Spinal gets his teleports back and his ability to do transformation combos. However, until I’m actually able to play them, ill stick to Sadira, and either Jago or Sabre.
When did this Maximilian guy become a reliable source?

When Double Helix has gone out of their way to MAKE him a reliable source? Wouldn’t be the first time he’s been tapped by a company to do this.
Well, regardless of his reliability, where did he confirm the last two are going to be revealed? Can’t find anything on Twitter or his Youtube
I thought it was IGN confirming that the last two characters would be revealed on Halloween…
In his most recent KI vid with the Jago combo.
It might just be a slip of the tongue, but he said wed glimpse the final characters.
