Killer Instinct announced for XBOX ONE!!!!!


Second match was Godly, Jago is amazing.

Still have love for Glacius too, and it seems like everyone is playing a more rush down Glacius vs a Keepaway Glacius, either way the character is cool to watch in action. Can't wait to see some Orchid gameplay.
 
I'm still trying to figure out what this series is and why it took a two generation hiatus....

1. An old fighter made by Rare with Robots and wearwolves and other cool stuff. Surely you've heard the term "C-C-C-C-Combo Breaker!" before? Cause it's from that.

2 . Because the microsoft buyout and all the fun delays and shattered dreams.

But hey its back now!

If only the people playing with him could win with the alien I'm tired of seeing my extraterrestrial boy get owned
 
I can't but help to acknowledge that Sadira is a badass broad yo. That music, that shit talk in her language, dem UMVC3 Spiderman movements, so cool!
 
Since spinal is the only character who is basically confirmed I wonder what's his playstyle is going to be like
I see him being a defensive character or a anti-zoning character
 
Wasn't Fulgore basically confirmed too? And I can't imagine that they'll ignore Cinder ... Do we know how many are supposed to be in the final line-up?

I agree that Spinal will probably be a defensive character.

I am going off the box art leak that showed each character symbol there was a skull and crossbones symbol that was obviously associated with spinal and another futuristic esque symbol that could be either fulgore or cinder

tap? spinal tap?
Spinal confirmed.
 
It has been confirmed by several people that the X1's controller d-pad is awful for this game. Your only option at launch is to either buy the stick or play with the analog.

Yeah I've heard the same.

Here's Youtuber AcidGlow's(diehard KI player) video of his first impressions. He states neither him nor the MS representative could get the game to play properly with the D-pad.

This is a deal breaker for me, as I don't like arcade sticks and using analog sticks is not precise enough to be able to play a fighting game.

and I have heard and read that it plays fine on the D-pad from recent MS tour events.
