Riptor was a bioweapon created by UltraTech. It’s participation in the first game was trial testing. Being female means they could bleed more if it was a success.
Yeah there’s a few people that still worship Glacius’ older design, but I never cared for him as a character until now. He’s a lot more sleek and deep looking now.
Hey man, everything needs loyal followers who have no chance of winning but still pay into the system. The FGC would be nothing if every scrub and potmonster simply stopped caring because they weren’t winning. Heck, the economy functions the same way, if 99% didn’t care and gave up, the 1% would be lost.
Glacius older design didn’t really looked like an alien character. He looks like he could of been a human story of an Ice version of Cinder. Now he really looks like an alien character. I’m glad they made his projectile useful now. Also I never really seen old Glacius picked during competitive play.
So for anyone that’s looking to see more KI footage (or even actually play it), the game will be playable at Super Arcade in Walnut, CA this Friday.
It will be on stream here also.
Favorite Tracks: Cinder Theme, Sabrewulf theme, Orchid theme and Thunder theme.
Fulgore as a grappler is a pretty big stretch… I’d rather see him as Hybrid like Jago. I could see Riptor as a Grappler/Zoner type.
The only real issue i have with the redesigns is that they are missing their manly pro wrestler bodies. I hate the new sleek and feminine looking glacious and jago.
Ain’t nothing femine about their looks lol.
Well they lack the muscle of the original versions.
I think they look a bit too skinny.
You have no idea what anatomy is.
Although he doesn’t have his muscle tone anymore, I did notice Jago got bigger though
In the KI official art jago was jacked and so was glacius…just don’t like how they started losing weight.
Did Riptor even have a projectile? I see Tusk with his sword being a unique grappler/zoner hybrid. Fulgore, they could kinda put it together like they did with Wesker in Marvel where you just get a command grab that’s so good that you end up being a semi grappler. With the way the triangle is starting to form I’m going to assume Chief may be the grappler.
Jago is more buff than he was in the older games. Overall I didn’t really care for the huge muscled characters. Never was a fan of huge muscles. I like characters that looks like they can kill you because they know the correct moves or technology to use. Over being hulking beasts that just push their body on you.
Oh mkay yeah I understand
By the way, is anyone else a fan of the stages? They all look great, especially Glacius’s. Makes me really want to see Maya’s now since I’m sure it would be a beautiful jungle
Yeah the stages are easily the best I’ve seen in a 2.5D game. All kinds of shit is flying around in every stage without it getting overbearing like some of the SFxT stages. The amount of detail in the stages is amazing also. The individual papers and electric sparks flying around in Sabrewulf’s stage is sick. All of the explosions during the Ultra remind you that you’re getting blown the fuck up.
Their up there with the KOF XIII stages for me.
…surely you jest.
Yes, he could ‘spit’ energy low, high, and in the air.
Around a minute in you see some of them

Wow…I had no idea Riptor had that many projectiles. The rapid fire one is really interesting.
