Killer Instinct isn’t even on store shelves yet, but its competitive life begins this Thursday night. A story running this morning on majornelson.com reports that Microsoft will be running the Killer Instinct Ultra Fighter Tournament at MS retail stores around the country on the evening of the 21st, with the top player in each store heading to the grand finals in Jacksonville, FL on the 23rd where they’ll play for an Xbox One, every launch, and a one year subscription to Xbox Live and the title belt.

Major Nelson will be on hand to present this blinged out belt to whoever proves themselves most worthy. Participating locations include:

Burlington, MA
Houston, TX
Lone Tree, CO
Orlando, FL (Florida Mall)
Seattle, WA (UVillage)
San Diego, CA

Though it’s being announced on short notice, there’s still a chance for the competitive fighting game scene to come out in force. Houston has a strong scene, Orlando hosts CEO, one of the biggest and most beloved annual tournaments, and San Diego, along with the rest of Southern California is in many ways the capital of the US competitive scene.

Registration begins tonight at 6pm, and is totally free. Click away on the store closest to you if you think you’ve got what it takes.

A tournament with the majority of players not even have been playing the game before.

wat?

It will be like the Gamestop Injustice midnight release tournament I was in. I played the shit out of the public demo so it was basically like Brock Lesnar VS Justin Beiber every match.
 
I was totally stoked when i first heard about KI coming to Xbox One... but until two weeks ago i wasn't planning on getting an Xbox One until the price dropped... Than I got this in my email.

Has anyone preordered their xbox one through best buy online store? I have a confirmed email but until they sent me the store ready for pick up email I'm a bit nervous.
 
I got my 2nd email!!! My xbox is at the store!! it's going to be hard to sleep waiting on the 22 lol KI here I come!!
 
Got my xbox one and KI ultra edition. I've only played the game for a brief moment but I'm already doing ultras and combo breakers like crazy it's fun and no doubt the best xbox one game. I look forward to learning all the deep gameplay that double helix has left for me to explore.

Have you bought the entire launch lineup of something?
 
Played KI a bit last night. Really noob-friendly combo system that even button-mashers can get into. but it still has all of the depth that technical players will get into. Runs really smooth and looks great. I played it on a 54" sony bravia 3D tv. The AI even pulls off decent combos. I played one match online, and it was ultra laggy and unplayable. Worst lag I've ever seen in a fighting game online. Though I only played one match. I couldn't find any matches, the guy I faced was on my friend's friend list. Overall the game seems good though. Feels and looks like Street Fighter though.
