Killer Instinct - Series in General

The shield is doing a victory cry, then he threatens the player...

i love how he's at the same time menacing, goofy and disturbing

VERY faithful to the original in that regard

After reading about it, I don't think the jail system seems well thought-out.

A new-ish player gets a rash of games against RQers? Well, since there's no way to see who actually caused the DC, the innocent newbie goes to Jail. If this happens a few times and the Jail period increases, random players can just get screwed over either by bad luck or trolls who DC against players that have a small number of games.
Just wanted to say "I called it":

Nyooooooh. That's not good.

Amazon bought out Double Helix games, and once Season 1 is done, KI development is getting passed off to other people.
This is either really good, or really bad.
The last time that happened to copyrights and stuff getting passed off to another team was Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, and that's languishing in a limbo waiting for a patch.
But given that KI is selling Xbones. It's pretty much gonna still get support.
It could still go south though.

Even as a non-KI Fan, hearts go out to you guys. Hope this won't turn to shit on you
 
And double helix was doing a darn good job on KI...

what was microsoft thinking when they let amazon buy DH?
 
Well so much for this passion project if it's getting passed off to a third party group.
 
I have been playing KI alot.
Its super fun, just needs more content; Characters, Story, etc.
 
So Thunder's alt costume was leaked and I think it looks cool, but it doesn't look finished though.
Also a tease of Sadira's retro costume was tweeted by the Creative Director from Microsoft Adam Isgreen.

Fulgore is probably going to be out at the end of March like how Spinal was released on the last day of January. TJ Combo and other characters have not been confirmed yet,
 
i'm guessing failing to retain double helix could have something to do with it

according to the gaf threads, Keits is now running the KI show.

that's kinda neat.
 
I wonder if Mike is still involved.

Those threads are wrong. Keits runs One True Game Studios, NOT Iron Galaxy.
 
Apparently, Iron Galaxy originally offered to develop KI until Microsoft chose Double Helix. How do you guys think it would have been like if IG had been the original devs in the first place?

i meant he's running the gameplay specifically as referred to here:

Hi guys. I'm lead combat designer on Season 2 of KI. Come take a ride with me.
 
Fulgore and his stage is looking great. Lobbies/Spectator + arcade mode is very welcoming. Hope Iron Galaxy does a good job taking over since DH did a fine job themselves so big shoes to fill.
 
Semi-breaking news: Fulgore is old-school KOF (manual meter charging) meets new-school KOF (special to special cancels at meter cost).

I'm so jealous of people who already have KI. I wanna play Fulgore so much.
 
I'm still waiting for my TJ combo. I hope cinder is in there as well.
 
TJ Combo seems to have lost a lot of weight lately. I wonder if he'll be a charge character in the game. I don't have the game, so please correct me, but there are no charge moves in the game currently, right?
 
I might be wrong, but I think Sabrewulf has charge moves.

They're not actual charge moves. They have similar motions, but no need to actually charge.
 
That rush punch looks very, very slow to me. I hope it comes with armor or low/overhead mixups.
 
the damn grab kills what little of a boxer he still had
 
Boxer in SF4 has a command grab.

Are you talking about Dirty Bull?

The only reason the people in my local area remember that move exists is that if you land it on someone in a match, you automatically win in our eyes. You're automatically the winner for the rest of the night.
 
I honestly like the way Combo looks and fights. I mean of course he'll need to be sped up a bit and be polished, but overall I like Combo and his stage is really cool.
