Killer Instinct XB1: Season 2 hits October 15th. 20 dollars for Combo, 40 dollars for Ultra

Luckily Napalm88 or Ryude of the DH forums are gonna help me out and sell me one of theirs (Napalm has a launch day one) if I can’t get a launch day one over standing in the cold. Man, I love KI community.

Justin Wong played the game and he said it was fine.

Yeah I went again to the MS store to play KI and played against some people that actually knew what they were doing (including my bro). It’s a lot more stressful trying to remember which shatter to do during auto doubles and getting the enders to come out with the left buttons in the middle of a heated match. It’s nice for just getting stuff out, but my mind is wired to do more complicated, timing sensitive decisions on a stick. It just doesn’t register the same on a pad for me.

It’s all up to Markman now for me.

CHIEF THUNDER FTW! Cant wait to see what Fulgore looks like.

Orchid dev breakdown part 2

Lara’s cat assist will be interesting…reminds me of that one dude in GG who had a assist move too.

What is your avatar? I know its a porn star…but which one? I’ve got some fapping to do.

Filthy is a guest star on the two best friend’s podcast talking a lot about KI with dev choices.

While I don’t support the xbone I’m very tempted to buy KI (and never buy an xbone) because I do support fighting games.

@nsc your link doesn’t work. I’ll just repost the podcast.

Well you could always buy the Pin Ultimate collector’s edition just to support the game and have something physical. Honestly, if you’re not going to buy an Xbone I’d personally think you’d be better off just watching streams and maybe telling a stream monster or two that it’s a good game. Enter the tournament at a major would probably be the absolute best thing you could do without buying the system. I was never a man of systems since myself or someone else in the family always ends up getting all the systems eventually. Only thing we don’t get is the Wii and my bro still loves the 3DS.

That’d pan out better for someone who isn’t going to buy the system more than anything else. I know nobody is going to convince me to buy a WiiU, but I respect anyone that likes it or owns it etc.

Wow…well this is just great…so I got a new (temp) card from my bank since my other card was cancelled as of yesterday. I call Gameshark (Madcatz) so I can switch my card information (since they don’t actually charge the card until shipment) so I don’t have to go through the same thing I did with Amazon and they actually can’t switch the information. hahahahahaha. So I’ll have to cancel my preorder (and they don’t know if it will be first come or first serve, which is what the representative told me) and order it again. sigh Welp, I’ll be playing with a controller (whenever I get my xbox one) until further notice. Got damnit.

EDIT: Haha…then when I try to go to madcatz site to place another order with my temp card…ERROR WHEN SUBMITTING…great…I’m just gonna give up getting an arcade stick.

So hold up, MadCatz told you that they aren’t sure if they are shipping preorders out on a first come, first serve basis?

That is utterly whack if they don’t do that.

Again, if I don’t have mine at launch or over the weekend, chances are I will just go buy a wired controller and figure out how to mod my current joystick over the weekend.

Actually, there are no wired controllers.

However, the X1 controller is designed do that if it’s plugged in, it bypasses the wireless and functions as a wired controller, eliminating the lag issues.

So basically, you just need to by a cord.

Yeah I know, I’m talking about the wireless + plug/charge combo you can get for $75.

They actually have them in stock right now. I’m almost tempted to just mod my joystick this weekend.

@purbeast let me know when you figure out how to mod. Ill pay you to mod one of my sticks.

Yeah man I will let you know if I go that route. I’d probably just compare it to the 360 controller PCB since they are so similar (at least on the outside) and see if I could figure it out. Definitely not guaranteed that I could figure it out though, but I’m sure someone who is smarter than me will figure it out within a week of the system being out.

I also would like to do it on my TE if I do it, so that I don’t screw up my dual modded ps3/360 balrog stick that I have. But my brother has the TE, and he’s in Cambridge lol, so not sure how I would get it. I don’t know, I’ll wait to see what happens with the TE2’s and the info that MadCatz gives us in the next day or so, and if it looks like I won’t have a joystick by next Friday, I may get a little adventurous this weekend since I got nothing to do.

Not sure if this is news to everyone but it’s new to me, but the KI port is going to have a training mode.

second that cause right now my setback is a stick…

I guess there was no MS stream today?

NVM…that’s tomorrow.

Since the news didn’t seem to reach here yet, a note of Spooky streaming KI this Saturday. Source being a mention by .la1n on NeoGAF:

"*Just wanted to let you guys know I am watching the TeamSp00ky stream and Spooky let the stream know that KI will be at next level on Saturday and he would be streaming the matches. Casual play should be fun to watch.

No mention of a specific time, unfortunately.
