Killer Instinct announced for XBOX ONE!!!!!

I haven't really been following this game all that much mainly because I don't plan on getting an Xbox One anytime soon but I gotta say Shadow Jago and the customization looks badass.


 
Hopefully, there will be customization choices than what can be seen immediately the screen.

This is my favorite though.

Im not overly impressed with either I would rather cave a good color mixer, Shadow Jago (who looks good)was said to be more then a pallet swap, ummm well he isn't anything different and I don't know if they will keep up with the whole "we want to make him different in the future" promise. If I hadn't used a gift card for my XB1 XBL card I think I would take it back.
 
I'd take costume customization over color mixer anyday.

I hope I get the opportunity to mix fools up with a butt naked Sabrewulf all day long.
 
Me and a coworker decided to take a long lunch and go check out the truck at one of the malls around here.



Looked around, saw forza, fifa but no KI so I was like WTF, but then I saw a few younger guys playing on one of the back sides so we went over there to get in line.

I decided to play it safe with a character who I knew I would know (I wasn't going to let those kids beat me ;D ) and picked Jago and ended up going 5-0; had a few 15 hit combo's and I would say for having really only 10 min with the game getting a 37 hit Ultra was a nice bonus, I almost didn't get the shot of it, it vanished right after I snapped it.



I HATE using the pad but I will say the D-pad for me was 100% responsive and did what I wanted it to, the controller feels a hair smaller then the current but maybe that's just me.



Random thoughts:

* Thunder build

* felt good, looked great

*default controls kinda odd, both fierce are on the LB and LT. I opted not to change it.

* Had issues with Saber's pressure, those rabid claws are vicious.

* Seems mash friendly, when waiting in line (and vs me) people were playing it like tekken and pulling out 8-10 hit combos and I even saw a few breakers mashed out.

*Wanted the line to go away so I could check out the other characters but it wasnt going to and I ran out of time so I just gave up my streak and spot.

* Jago's wind kick travel distance was way shorter then I was expecting.

* I rather enjoyed fireball spamming some kid talking a bit of trash since I beat his friend. :)

*was thinking how to call in sick for the rest of the day and close the truck location down. :)
 
I got to play KI for about 10 hours over 3 days a couple weeks ago.

Felt great just jumping right into it. There was so much intensity behind every move, it just drew you in until the very end. I lost about 3 times since on day 3 someone switched the mapped buttons and I was like, why is Jago's fireball not working? Not sure if you heard or saw but you can use last generation sticks on this. Someone brought one to one of the locations I was at and worked fine.

Really looking forward to the 22nd! You got to see it in person to believe how beautiful this game truly is, I was awe watching all the little particle details and when you get into instinct mode, it is artwork. And it is not just the intensity of the fighting but as the match progresses the background shift into chaos. Just an amazing touch.

Always great to see you.
I can't wait to see the classic costumes. I wonder if they'll make a cheesey 90's Sadira as a "What if".
Kind of like Cyber Sub Zero's MK3 gear.
 
Well I am gonna wait a year or two for a price drop. So I will keep an eye on this game and see it progress. Shadow Jago looks pretty meh so far. Can't wait for his differentiation from normal Jago.
 
I'm not trying to be negative, but i fail to see how a game with 6 characters and lack of modes can gain such high scores without cash exchanging hands for review scores.
It can't be that good surely?
