Finished 100%'ing PvZ.
Went into the lab.
I have a Spinal Unblock-able, I think(temperamental). Also, some very useful Spinal OS, and some neat tricks.
I would really like to put together some intro videos for the characters, but the Xbox recording setup makes it very difficult…
I also read the Evo Grand Finals thread on the new official forums… and I got cancer…
Edit: Spinal also has an Ultra Infinite and a repeatable frame trap string that must be Invul’d out of if done frame perfect.
Id like to see that repeatable frame trap string. Sounds like some Sadira instinct jump cancel type stuff.
It’s not that fancy (or powerful quite frankly), it just abuses how good his LK shoulder charge is.
Its only a perfect trap if your execution is frame perfect, but the sequence is:
cLP, sLK, cMPxxLK Shoulder
cLP - 4 frame start +1
cLK - 4 frame start +2
cMP - 6 frame start (will crush all other character 4 frame normals with its disjointed hitbox)
Spaced LK shoulder - +2 ~ +4
So its:
3 frame gap
4 frame gap (that will beat all 4 and 5 frame moves)
1 frame gap
The other important thing I have is a good OS for hitconfirming the slide, which makes it a much better neutral tool.
Lastly a question if you know. Can you force an unblockable with Spinal by hitting low at the same time the overhead skull hits? Of does auto-guard kick in. I’m having difficulty telling if its a true unblockable, or a near unblockable.
Well I know the game prevents Glacius unblockables when youre in block stun, but dont know if it protects you from high lows like Skullgirls or anything
Me neither, but the fact that Spinal has alot of positioning linkers (the only exchange linker besides thunders grab), lets him set up some interesting stuff.
I finally got some hate mail yesterday playing an exhibition match against some guy that was bitching all I was good at was throwing fireballs and the obligatory trash talk after I poked him a bit and said something like, “no need to be so salty”. Of course I was just bodying him with Jago combos and he was just sitting on the fireballs I would throw out, and once I beat him 3-0 he tried instigating me to play again, but I decided not to. And here’s what he sent, “Pussy i was about to try LOL scared vs me in ghost xD” and I sent back something along the lines of I already bodied him and I don’t have CoD Ghosts if that’s what he meant by “vs me in ghost” and I got no response after that. Made my night it did.
at least you can get online, everytime I start the game it says “you must be connected to Xbox Live” when I’m connected to Xbox Live. Freezing, black screen loads, WTF is wrong with this game ATM
DISC RELEASE?! http://shoryuken.com/2014/07/31/killer-instinct-receiving-retail-release-in-september/
Thing is, it doesn’t say anything about a disc being included in the article, so who knows.
I don’t have any issues…
NAT?
Wide open and everything else works. “shrug” (unplugs X1 and plugs back in)
Uninstall>Re-Install?
(I’m just grasping at straws here, to see if I say anything that rings a bell)
I only have problems with the lobby disconnecting me all the time, does anybody else have that problem?
Its a disc. Also Keits mentioned a 3,500 year old character on the last stream…
Riptor
I like the theory of Tusk pulling a highlander…
Isn’t Riptor 4?
Of the returning characters so far we have TJ Combo, Maya, Kim Wu (possibly confirmed), Riptor (possibly), Cinder (hopefully)
In the old timeline…
Based on comments from the developers, everyone you listed seems a safe bet. And they said we get one newcomer so:
TJ Combo
Maya
Newbie #2
Kim
Riptor
Cinder
???
???
They also said not every classic KI character would return in S2…
Which would only leave Tusk, and hopefully that tease at the end of TJ’s trailer was Cinder and maybe they’re saving him for the end like Fulgore.
Saw a comment that there would be more new characters this season. Maybe saving kim, tusk and riptor for season 3…
