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

August 21

Really hope Orchid will be shown :smiley:

Im kind of thinking how Cinder could be remade. Like a skeletal being enduced in fire or perhaps a Johnny Ohm kind of guy with flames spouting from cracks in his skin or such.

pretty sure we are getting orchid next. I’m willing to bet on it.

My bro didn’t like new thunder…missed that hairstyle and his projectile.

I can see where he’s coming from it was a original great look.

From the Vine Mick had posted, id like to believe it’s Cinder.

His old look was nice, but you have to remember that this game is being redone in many ways. KI1 was from '94, theres no way they could leave everything thing the same, that especially includes characters. IF they gave them the same design, they wouldnt look as nice, and wouldn fit. Their designs were good for the time, which was the 90s. I personally love his new design. Even sill, they said they would give us original costumes for nostalgia purposes, so its really not that big of a deal.

So what if Brock Lesnar had an ethnicity change…
Holy shit, Thunder is scary like a muthafucka.
So when the white man comes for his land, he gonna make them get off.

Or bury their asses there.

Thunder will definitely put the fear on everyone that is going to play this game, he has that ā€œuh oh!ā€ vibe going on

Hoping Fulgore has some Sim/Seth projectile teleport shenanigans.

Especially if more Zoners than Glacius are put in. The moment that Instinct Meter gets full, your strategy is gonna have to pull a 180, or you won’t survive.

Yeah as a Glacius player, Thunder with Instinct sounds the scariest so far. Every character other than Sabrewulf seems to have some move that goes through projectiles. I’m hoping his dash only becomes projectile invincible and not completely invincible like it sounds like they were letting on. Cuz pretty much going to be forced to ice lances, ice picks and jump back/neutral normals to keep him out. Especially since some of his moves with naturally have a point of armor on them on top of that. When both characters have instinct ready it’ll pretty much be a battle of armor at that point.

The Sammamish/Alex Stomp naturally going through projectiles on the way up will prove tough to deal with also I’m sure. Glacius better have a complete win in the footsies matchup or else it’ll prove difficult to keep him out or even rush him down. Glacius’ walk speed and dash are both really slow so it seems like taking advantage of ice lance into small combos or bluffs to bait breakers will be key. Using neutral throw with Glacius will also be a key panic move to throw people to the other side of the screen also.

Wouldn’t it be a surprise if the next character reveal was a female character… But wasn’t Orchid?

Didn’t Saberwulf High and Low out of his command run go through projectiles?

Sorry guys I guess I’m kinda late to the party but I’m hearing Riptor may or may not have been confirmed? Any truth to that or should I just wait for some hopeful news at Gamescom about the possibility of a certain badass dino?

Doubt it. It was never mentioned in his IGN breakdown and the devs would have mentioned it. He has the fastest walk speed in the game, the fastest and farthest travelling regular dash in the game and the only regular dash that allows him to move through the opponent like 3S Ibuki. I doubt any of his moves are going to be projectile invincible or he would just be like the ultimate counter to zoning and probably easily be the best character in the game with how good his normals are also. Especially with his anti cross up reversal, eclipse. I’m assuming they’re not giving him any projectile pass through moves so that he has to earn his way in (which honestly…doesn’t seem difficult enough). Otherwise it would be too easy.

There’s always time. Game is going to be a regularly updated digital download title so Riptor isn’t in by release, they’ll be in very shortly after.

Yeah, but I’m more than ready for Maya to make her debut (she could have an even more ferocious rushdown than Sabrewulf)

Anything is possible. Consensus now is that Cinder will be the next one shown (from a teaser on Mick’s Vine), but we didn’t expect Thunder to be the next one shown after EVO, so…

TBH, I’m pretty sure DH knows which characters will garner the most hype and are saving those for as close to release as they can. It was different, but not really surprising that Thunder was next, because outside of a few niche fans people weren’t dying to see him. Although his new look, moveset and being a grappler will help him garner a new set of fans.

Sabre’s overhead from command run is invulnerable to projectiles. I forget about the low though.

Yeah the overhead is just slow enough where it makes some type of sense. Doubt the low does anything other than go under higher elevation projectiles.

But I could be slightly incorrect. Didn’t play much Sabre. My knowledge is retained more to Jago and Glacius. I just know that Sabres charge is really a charge. I would know considering I hate charges.
