Killer Instinct announced for XBOX ONE!!!!!

Man, Combo looks lame. They should've brought back his high top fade and gave him a younger look/voice. He looks like a washed up boxer. Boring.
 
The scars on his arms, which suggest the cybernetic implants, is a nice touch.

That being said, the original Combo had one of the least interesting designs in the series. It just enough to communicate that he was a boxer and not much else.
 
He does look very bland and lame, but gameplay-wise he looks pretty fun. Max was talking about some kind of new system in season 2 where you can air juggle them then bring them back to the ground and cash out the damage with a combo ender.
 
Also even though Combo looks so bland, I'm guessing IG wanted to make him an ordinary person, going up against extraordinary competition. Although I do agree that his gameplay looks crazy as hell. I think the only major gripe is that unless he can cancel or do a feint roll, it's mostly can be telegraphed.
 
Having cybernetically enhanced arms (although not outwardly shown in the original design), I would hardly call it normal.

I remember he had a flying knee attack, but don't remember him throwing kicks in the original games.

I'm a big Killer Instinct fan, good to see it doing well. A shame I won't play it for a while though, don't wanna buy the Xbox One.

I'm looking forward to see Cinder's new design, hopefully they do him well.

I think his fighting style is now currently mixed martial arts instead of just boxing alone.
