Killer Instinct XB1: Season 2 hits October 15th. 20 dollars for Combo, 40 dollars for Ultra

RIP @PushaTee22‌ :frowning:

So wtf is the deal with Maya’s air attack that can’t be blocked standing? Where she like slides on you. Does anyone else think that move is just a stupid ass move?

Gg’s FlyingVe, that was a fun lobby session.

The Spinal matchup is probably my personal most horrid matchup, mostly because my lack of experience against the skeleton.
I hope the connection was as smooth again as last time, as it was for me.

Note to self, don’t jump in on Orchid when getting impatient or you’ll eat cr. HP :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

So… does anyone have any techniques on punished Maya’s Dagger-Canceled uppercut?

Because I feel I’m missing something… or that tactics is stupid as hell.

I hear you can back-dash or forward it. I forgot where…somewhere on the ultra-combo forums…but it’s really not a safe move.

I figured as much, but I was having trouble figuring it out. You can forward dash after block to avoid the dagger, but punish options from there can be limited.

Yeah they made her uppercut into dagger semi safe on block as a perk for holding on to the dagger. The daggers are like temporary projectiles for her so she gets powerful things as long as you let her hold onto them. I know depending on which dagger you use you can back or forward dash out. Even if you don’t punish her you can try and stay on top of her and keep her from getting the dagger again. You gotta treat her like a souped up version of Cody or Vega. When their props fall on the ground, don’t let them pick them back up. If you’re using a teleport character you can purposely teleport to a certain side of the screen to cut off her access to the daggers.

Her air grab special is like a really fast version of Guy’s bushin grab. If you think it’s going to come just crouch before she does it and it will whiff. Probably can just mash c.LP or c.LK as a quick way to guarantee you’ll connect with something as she lands.

Pokes KI thread

I hope we will get a trialer for the new character soon, I’m curious…

So can someone tell me exactly why nobody picks any other characters besides Spinal?

because his taunt is boss

I rarely play against spinals, but usually when I do I get my ass kicked because I don’t know what to do against him, and he’s just a nasty character when in the hands of a good player.

Spinal…don’t let him get skullz (obviously he will when he gets instinct unless ur spinal). He’s seriously is easier to fight when he doesn’t have any skullz.

New character full reveal Friday. Released on the 24th.

He’s not as good with skulls as people might think. There’s still lots of options for the opponent.

It’s matter of matchup knowledge (or lack of it) imo

Had some good fun with Kan-Ra so far. I little hard to work with him on the defensive side but still quite an intresting character to use

As long as u got sand out, his defence is OK. Insects too. I’m still shit with him, but the potential is there. Love his cMP

I just got the Killer Instinct combo that comes with the code for TJ Combo. So will I pay extra to unlock Maya, Kan-Ra and other future characters?

Has anyone had any problems playing online? Lately I have been getting alot of lag and disconnects. It seems like ever since the halo connection its been fucking up my connections with other games. Before halo came out I would hardly get any disconnects at all. Anybody else having this problem?

My games have been fine.

On a different note:

This glitch is all wrapped up!
