Fuck that, make grapplers hella imposing. Make people feel like they’re staring down a pissed off Brock Lesnar in a dark alley.
I gotta be honest and concede to deviljin 01 on some of my KI concerns man, some of these music and videos are fucking tasty. Anybody know what the final roster is gonna look like?
Grapplers should be strong but this is too much…gief was never this scary.
At least gief could throw punches, lesnar has stand up like a bitch and besides grapplers always deserve more love 
So, chief thunder…
Damn…
Yeah there are very few grappling characters that are high tier or regularly used in the meta of most fighting games. Most games they’re usually just a speciailist character and never really become the IT character to pick.
I’m glad he doesn’t have those skin tight pants anymore also.
Thunder :’) oh yeaaaaah.
He’s passed expectations though I did want to see more grappling moves. Probably get that at Gamescom though.
I think Orchid is defo one of the next since she was revealed in Thunders teaser (Max don’t lie) or Cinder. Eh I still want my gender confused dinosaur at some point.
I know most of you know this, but from reading comments everywhere…
Everyone keep in mind one key thing about KI.
Combo Damage is not guaranteed like other games. This changes the perspective that you have to evaluate everything in.
Am started to suspect supertrolls HDD is made purely of win.
One thing that I noticed in this build is now they show how many wins a player has.
I’m sorry but any actual discussion will have to wait until the next page, I’m distracted.
I definitely agree with the 3S Alex comment. That stomp, his facial expression, his raggedy appearance, and the paint dripping down him is reminiscent of Alex’s bangs.
I knew they were going to get rid of the Mohawk and give him some kind of feather hat sway back. That’s how I imagined it.
His voice is fucking sick, and dat instinct mode is WTF! Almost like hyper armour Zangief but without the hittable box. I need dat ultra.
There is IMO a little bit of legitimacy - not only was it the basis for one of his most important moves - but it was his trademark, it would be like Capcom deciding Ryu shouldn’t have a headband or finally laces up some Js with all that fight money. With that said, I’m not heartbroken about him losing it, the only thing I don’t like about his look is he looks EXACTLY like a cross between Nightwolf and T.Hawk now.

Phlukin A! I love the feeling as Gief of backing someone in the corner, and being able to ‘feel’ that desperation seep through their pores as they try and figure out how to escape the rape. The scarier a grapper looks, the better. I am VERY curious as to the frame data though - I want to know what kind of tick setups are viable.
- :bluu:
and folks want to know why I’m thinking of doin some Cosplay…shee-it.
Could anyone tell if it was possible to combo after his ‘stomp out’ throw?
picturing instinct canceling a combo into a dash into a throw2
And yeah @Koop I was scoping the wall HARD lookin for stuff.
- :bluu:
Chief Thunder’s new design is fucking awesome. He looks like he would right up murder you and that’s just when he’s having a good day.
Shadow command grab not only does crazy damage it ends in a launcher. Is there going to be juggle combos in this?
Back in SF2…being corned against a good gief was the most frightening experience in a video game.
Damn, CT looks freaking impressive! O_O
And just as everyone guessed, he’s a grappler! SWEET!
