So I just chatted with MS Store right now and this is what I got…

I ordered the Killer Instinct Pin Ultimate Edition for Xbox One a week or so ago, I was just wondering if there was any finalized ship date on the item yet, if I will be receiving it on the release date of November 22nd.

I will be more than happy to check on that for you today!
Laconya: at 22:48:20
Just a moment while I check on that for you.
You: at 22:48:33
Thank you.
Laconya: at 22:50:33
Yes the ship date will be 11-22-13 and you should receive that with in 5-7 days.
You: at 22:53:09
Okay so there is no release day delivery?
Laconya: at 22:55:05
No, unfortunately it is not a day one edition game so it would not be delivered on the release date.
So I am probably going to cancel my preorder on it.
Yeah I wasn’t going to fuck with the Pin version. Just getting the strat guide whenever that hits. If I REALLY need a pin I’ll wait till they make them separately available and just buy one.
New info on counter hits.
Works like SF where you get different plus frames depending on whether you get a hit with a light attack (+2), medium attack (I think +3) or hard attack (+6). So basically landing counter hits will unlock new manuals.
25 to 50 percent damage is also added to the INITIAL hit only of a counter hit. Meaning landing counter hits with damaging hard normals or specials can be beneficial even if you don’t start a combo from them.
That was one of my fears regarding Pin Ultimate. Besides the pins, we’re getting everything else with the $40 version, so I’ll be more than happy with that option.
Sweet my second fav Killer Instinct character Spinaal is in (but most people figured he was going to be anyways lol).
Also damn, is it just me or does Orchid already look like she’s going to be like, Jago’s worst matchup, lol. Any brother’s worst nightmare. Also Firecat oki setups are going to be boss.
The only thing I don’t like is the attitude the DH guys have towards the original looks.
Street fighter has some of the most enduring character designs and they are as 90s as it gets…the excuse of"we have to modernize things cause it won’t work now"is the reason we have the terrible chief thunder/glac redesigns. It’s a rather arrogant attitude IMO and I don’t like the way it shits on fans of the original…on that note orchid had a sexy face in the teaser trailer but now she has a cave man face.
Why does orchid look like a tranny instead of the sultry version we saw in the teaser…WTF DH?
Street Fighter character designs are one of the most iconic in gaming in general in a long and enduring franchise.
There was only 2 games of Killer Instinct… ever… almost 20 year ago. Somehow I think Double Helix has a bit of leeway in, dare I say, IMPROVING on the cheesy but memorable character designs of yesteryear without the very hardcore of hardcore fanbase getting in a hissy fit about it
You use that word but I don’t think you know what it means.
Now granted I’m not saying they have to use the same art style for obvious reasons due to the dated technology…but the outfits themselves don’t exactly need to change that much.
Chief thunder went from being unique amongst night wolf and t.hawk to now looking IDENTICAL…he could literally pass as a uninspired custom pack for either of those 2 characters.
Orchid went from being a extremely curvy sex symbol in a jumpsuit…to a almost flat "gym"girl who stole Lara crofts wardrobe with a bad case of a cave-man face.
Jago,saberwolf are more tolerable because they are the most consistent with their old looks…granted I prefer the muscular manly saberwolf as opposed to the new male model metro thin saberwolf but its at least comparable enough.
Glacious just looks like a dead space enemy…so I don’t mind it by that virtue but it just isn’t glacius. I could accept it as his younger brother with a eating disorder…but not as the true glacious.
I pretty much disagree with everything you said, everyone looks better and updated, this is not a cartoon like game were as street fighter is so characters looking the same isn’t a problem there.
I’m not gonna go into detail but I don’t agree with any of that.
I disagree with almost everything too. The original designs were very simple, true stereotypes. We had the werewolf, the ninja, the sexy, the boxer, the skeleton, the dinosaur, the indian, the fire and the iceman. Only Fulgore was really distinguished (Yes, I’m a big fan. The original KI was my favorite snes game). The new designs preserve those particulars modernizing the chars and making them more unique. They still seem KI chars, and that’s the most important. I agree only with Thunder: now he is looking very similar to T. Hawk, but it’s ok to me.
