Yeah it’s like 90 percent certain it will look different or just generally be a lot more detailed than the E3 Glacius.
Good games @Deviljin01. I did much better than the first time we played. I will say that you should use @onyx strategy against me with the Shadow Shatter when I jump freely. I had some input errors and have a habit of locking out and that’s how I lose a lot. I did know sometimes when you were going to counter-break. Your counter-break during cold shoulder was good stuff…cuz I was really just trying to bait with 2 but you would get me on the second one.
Sexy bathing suit with full curvy ass exposed vs overly glossy green jumpsuit…you must prefer the transformer movie designs over the cartoon looks I imagine.
Why are you complaining Rik? Orchid is still in a skin tight outfit show off ever inch of her curvaceous body. A woman doesn’t have to be nude or showing skin to be sexy my friend.
Definitely. We’re all pretty new at the game so naturally you and others I face will only get better as time goes on and people play more. I love how the online is making practice for tourneys much more practical with a much wider variety of competition.
Hmmm…I use shadow shatter occasionally but more so as a tool to keep the opponent away in conjunction with hail. It’s not a bad anti air and tracks the opponent so it can stop cross ups, but as an anti air you have to do it pretty preemptively. It takes one frame to freeze the screen, bu then takes another 13 frames after the screen freeze to actually start hitting you. Generally a big waste of meter for the lack of damage if you’re just using it for anti air. Holding HP hail or using b+HP/ice pick are much more solid AAs that don’t require meter. Holding HP hail is probably the most fool proof anti air in the game. You just sit in front of it and they pretty much can’t do a regular forward jump anymore without getting hit. Damage is minimal on both anti airs initially, but they don’t require meter and get the job done.
Yeah my brother figured out in training mode that you can catch people trying to break even during the one or the two. If you’re trying to bait a counter breaker you’re better off just doing one break or create a gap between the second one. Mainly because the counter breaker will grab you out of any attempts to break even if not successful.
Definitely liked some of the tick grab setups you were pulling off and like how you were keeping combos short. Once you start learning manuals and getting a bit more aggressive with the counter breakers I think you’ll be closer to where you need to be.
Ok, I see where you’re coming from with the antiair. Yea, I don’t do long combos with Thunder as his damage output is high. Only if I do a counter-breaker will I try that. I know a strategy I use is if i have 2 bars and I land a shadow opener, I’ll go straight into another one for a shadow linker and there I can wait to see if someone is going to shadow break. If they try to break, I can counter (most of the time I don’t) and if they mess up punish with a heavy AD and 1 heavy linker and end it. If they don’t break, go straight into ender and get guaranteed damage and get some bar back.
Not really a curvaceous body anymore.
Granted its a grade above most girls in fighters but that’s not saying much. Also once again, the point of the outfit is to show skin much like Mai…remove that and it defeats the whole point. What used to be a super sexy look now is as sexy as balrog in a thong.
Not really a huge difference here, dude. Why are you being so fussy about this?
The biggest difference is that her waist is more realistic now. That and her ass isn’t hanging out.

Me and my bud have a little set. Damn dog.
I really dont wanna derail this thread with anymore ass talk so ill make my point 1 last time before we continue on with relevent discussions.
While this classic look is based off her KI1 outfit…in all honesty it was her KI2 outfit that made her famous even to this day. Removing the ass from her outfit is like putting pants on Cammy or making Mai wear a full body suit on top of body armor. A skin tight jumpsuit IS quite different then a ass revealing 1 piece…and since her KI2 outfit was shown in the concept art it seems to have been dropped cause of the new pussy"we like dicks"mentality of the DH art team.
It’s not something that will ruin the game but it is disappointing.
I would have preferred her KI2 attire. Hell, it’s probably still coming, and it would make since for it to be after the KI1 suit.
As I said many pages ago, I don’t go to games for something like this - but Orchid’s ass is something of a polygonal marvel. And it very much needs to be depicted in the KI2 uniform. If anything but for historical record.
Actually, it was a KI1 taking off her shirt what made her famous, but I digress. The Hitbox tourney last night was ok, there was good competition in the later matches.
The Most Vocal Player In Killer Instinct
No it’s not. Most people played KI1, and most people were talking about Orchid’s ridiculous pointy boobs. I remember a MAD or Cracked comic did a bit on KI at that time where they called her B.O.O.B.S Orchid.
I’m not saying her KI2 costume wasn’t an improvement, I think it was, but Orchid was definitely popular for KI1. And just in general, KI1 was a colossal success on SNES, while KI Gold was pretty much off everyone’s radar, so I can’t imagine that everyone was talking about Orchid’s costume in KI2.
And how can you derail this thread? It’s pretty much just the KI general chat.
Yeah Rik you’re the SuperTroll. You of all people shouldn’t be worried about thread derailment. Push your KI2 Orchid agenda to the fullest.
Again, not saying I agree with what they did since I would have preferred separate costumes, but it works in the intention of just being a classic costume and I think it does a pretty good job showing off new Orchid’s body.
It’s a costume…
what is chief thunders language he is speaking in killer instinct?
Oh my god was that guy stoned or what? “Ya’ll f’d up now!” LMAO.
Gg’s Jin, thanks for the matches.
I’m still having a hard time recognizing attacks to combo break especially (against Glacius, not to mention learning the matchup)
And yes, my heavy’s got broken far to often lol
Time to check on some of those replays.
Once again, thanks for the fun games :tup:
