Wait hold on is it laggy now?
Fuck and this game had one of the best online codes too:(
That’s just what some people have reported. I played like 15 matches now including against regular like Mike Infinite and didn’t notice anything different. Netcode is still in top shape for me. Helps that I have FiOS, but it’s smooth for me.
Still didn’t fix rage quits from what’s in the notes and the character rotation has started (earlier than the said 3 months even). All of the Freegos are now Freebrewulfs and people have to buy Jago finally.
Classic Jago
Good to hear I was worried there. Hey next time your online hit me up cause I need to fight some good players and not just random rank matches anymore.
Also jago’s classic outfit is ummmm…well it would look way better on a girl lets just say.
I finally get to laugh at the people who were shitting on Jago’s new design. 
It’s just funny how ppl were so butthurt about the character redesigns, and now that they have the classic costumes, they hate those too. They look exactly like the original, just more detailed for next-gen. The designs didn’t hold up well over time, but here they are. DH could do a better job with hair, but I like them both actually.
Jago never used to wear spray-on pants, they always had a little bit of baggyness (not tons, but they weren’t skinny jeans) and his bra wasn’t quite that skimpy before.
That looks more suitable for Orchid. 
Orchid’s looks good enough. I just don’t like the ninja turtle shell thing she’s got going on in her new suit, so I’ll definitely go retro for her.
So whats the story here? I didnt see Jagos classic costume in character select so how did you fight him? Survival mode?
Oh lol is this now a costume critique thread?
Where should I go to discuss gameplay?
This is a discuss all things KI thread, consider doing some research “lol”
Yeah that was a tad snotty lol.
I haven’t had my coffee yet
People will bitch about anything concerning costumes. I actually don’t think Orchid (and obviously Jago) was supposed to be released in this build (as it wasn’t in the patch notes) since she doesn’t have all of her accessories. But oh well, we get a little something.
Jago had extremely tight pants in KI1.
They were baggier than the new “retro” ones.

They certainly at least looked like something a male would wear, as opposed to… well, this:

Jago did wear tight pants…as tight as leggings…don’t know what the hell “baggy” you are looking at.
I don’t know what you guys were expecting. Jagos old costume was really effeminate, so naturally the update also looks that way.
I think the nostalgia blinders are having their usual effect.
I guess to some of the new generation, skinny jeans are baggy. Pants where you can see ripped muscle definition in the legs are skin tight, they aren’t baggy.
