I think he meant that Wind Kick can be used as an Opener, leading to a combo that takes half your life bar.
And yeah, kinda nostalgic to see the Jab Endokuken x Roundhouse Wind Kick from KI still works somewhat…and kinda noobish, too.
With the mod powers invested in me, I made some stickies in this subboard.
Let me know if you need anymore.
Also:
If this is true than it truly sucks for KI fans in the Nordic regions… I’m even more happy I imported an Xbone now…
Q3 2014 is like forever!
I just posted this in the DH forums:
I went into practice mode and noticed that not only do auto-doubles have different hurt animations (on the attacked), but so do linkers. All in the same fashion. These hurt animations are not the same as auto-double hurt animations of the same level. They are a total different set. Also these animation differ depending if the attacked is being hit HIGH or LOW (this also goes for auto-doubles).
I wonder if there is a chanche of us seeing some Spinal footage near the end of this month…
I mean january is coming up next.
Chirs G is getting KI? Well at least he won’t be able to blame any of his losses on lag this time. Good player and all, but should straighten up a bit.
I hope Spinal uses his wheel as a means of attack. Launch up and spin them like a guillotine. Would be an exquisite move.
Double Helix said Spinal will be “very annoying” and have his projectile and teleport. Looking forward to it. Double Helix needs to hurry up and add the option to top off the combo breaker pack. Trying to get in the beta.
Have they said anything about the beta recently?
They haven’t said a lot about anything lately. Just gonna have to stay tuned. Only thing confirmed is another patch in a couple weeks.
No, we’ve been asking in the streams on thursdays…they just ignore it. I’d rather them say that they either won’t be able to have it or we’re working on it but nothing is confirmed when it will happen. Saying nothing disturbs me. Surprises are cool, only when they aren’t advertised (well beta wasn’t but getting access to characters beforehand released is).
EDIT-On the topic of breaking linkers, I discovered that I was wrong and that it’s even more difficult than that and Sabrewulf is tough to distinguish. Here’s what I put in the other forums:
So I’ve confirmed that for each character, the set of hurt animations that they use is different depending on the character you are facing. It goes for light medium and heavies still. It’s very difficult to discern for Sabrewulf (you have to look at positioning of head and timing to distinguish for difference in lights from mediums when hit with Sadira spinny move…very difficult stuff). I tried Thunder’s Linkers vs. Sabrewulf, Jago, Sadira, and Thunder. Jago vs the same. Sadira vs. the same. and Sabre vs. Sadira. I didn’t do every permutation. It goes REALLY fast too for lights. I can distinguish mediums and heavies for Thunder when hit with Jago, and Sadira pretty well, but it hasn’t been memorized or anything.
Good News: I got my Cronus device
http://sdrv.ms/J3EENV
Bad News: I got the wrong model
If your buying it make sure you get “CronusMax” thats the one that supports Xbone, any other Cronus device like " The Original Cronus" ( what i got) does not… Im Salty as shit but its my error.
Anyways while readig the cronus forums today someone asked about lag and one of the devs said its 1-1…I guess take it with a grain of salt but that’s out there. Ill give an update once i reorder and get yhe right device, until then - ithink someone else inhere ordered also, hopfully he’ll be able to tell us whats up.
Well if the devs are proposing 1:1 with the delay then I guess that’s a good sign. Means at least the average gamer won’t notice the difference.
Hey yo.
Alright it’s been a month so far and I wanna know what the verdict so far is.
What’s the basic opinion of this game as far as a competitive tittle…are we talking another SFXT or something good for once?
Need dat status report cause if its good ill buy this system and game too.
Same thing that everyone else that’s been giving us crap for spending 700 dollars for one fighting game has.
It’s good, buy it.
Eh, I hate zoners so not looking forward to him. It will be interesting to see a Spinal who isn’t low tier for once though.
Ha I was sold already but just needed a extra opinion.
I still hate the pay to play format but its probably gonna be a industry standard eventually especially where fighters are concerned.
Pay to play format for a game that isn’t finished is brilliant especially for a game that hasn’t been out for 17 years. Jago will sucker all the kids born in the 90’s who didn’t play KI into buying it once they try it in free mode. Hell I switched from PS3 to Xbox one Just for this game exclusive.
These matches are vs a good Glacius player Big Robawt. I ran into him basically 3 games in a row the other night in ranked, so i combined them in the order we played. They were gg’s its seems the first two sets he was just downloading me because the last set he destroyed me lol.
Pay to play/digital download is just the future of gaming. The number one game in eSports follows a similar model and its not surprising that its hugely successful. This generally gives the game more time to be successful over time than be completely decided on whether or not people take 60 dollars worth of their hard earned money to take it off the shelf. Which then the game gets resold over and over and its uncertain how much money the devs actually get from the purchase of the game.
There’s a lot of stuff that the 60 dollar games miss though (good netcode, frame data in game, tournament friendly button checks, hit boxes, optimizing stages at 60 frames for tourneys) that this game already has down pat. Once 3 seasons go by it will be more robust than most of those titles.
Spinal was 1st or 2nd on the tier list in KI2
Probably the greatest fighting game I have ever played. Its only going to get better also
