What's wrong with blocking though? I mean, you'll always have Grabs/Overheads/Lows that deal damage.. No one can block forever.

Ever since childhood, I never liked blocking, which is why I would have loved Marvel if it wasn't such a broken piece of shit because of how aggressive it is.

KI is basically giving you a penalty for blocking. That's ****ing awesome.

P4A does that, and so does Blazblue, and Guilty Gear lol.

But can you explain why blocking is bad? o.o

P4A does that, but not as well. I've never had it happen in a single match online. You literally just have to be completely acting stupid to get it, running away for no reason because if you just throw out a projectile here and there, it won't happen. This is cool because if someone is evasive, I can force them to keep blocking projectiles, luring them towards me for a head on fight instead of a game of tag.

I grew up on Tekken as a kid, not 2D fighters like SF except for MK, so blocking was always non-frequent to me as my brother and I would always rush down on each other. My friends played Tekken as well. I always saw blocking as necessary, but cowardly. Now I see it as necessary, but annoying. I realize there is ways around it, but I prefer it to not be encouraged.

I like a fast paced fight, which is why I loved DOA5.

You are actually repeating what I said so I see we are in agreement here. :)

Also, ironically enough it seems like Microsoft sees their own OS (Windows) as competition to the Xbox. Why else treat it like they have? Why not release all their exclusive games simultaneous for Windows PC and Xbox if it's not competition and they have nothing to worry about? I mean.. it's just more money in their pocket right? Right? ;) *that's sort of rhetorical as I already know the answer*

I think they will port it to Windows... to Windows Phone 8! :DDD Also its coming to our homes next year on Nintendo Ultra 64! :D

Anyway they confirmed there won't be Ultimate Combos, No Mercy moves and Humiliations so this game is less and less Killer Instinct by the day.
 
When asked if there was going to be a single player mode in KI in a video I just watched Ken Lobb (creative director) said "there's going to be a practice mode" and when asked if there where going to be any bosses like Eyedol or Gargos he said "not right away". So it sounds like it's going to be multiplayer focused with no real single player mode per say. I could be wrong.

And thats one of my concerns, it will be KI by name with little splashes of what make KI well KI. Its still early but I am concerned.
 
I personally think the free to play will help the game. It will be a free download day one on Xbox One. People who arent familiar with the game can try it out to see if they like it and fans can download the full game right away

Microsoft just needs to give Rare back to Nintendo.

I have less interest in the Wii U than the XBox One, and if Nintendo owned Rare, KI would be a Wii U exclusive, which would suck.

Instead, somebody needs to buy the franchise from MS/Rare and make it a multi-console release. I know this will never happen, but that's a perfect world scenario...

agreed.

Rare's games with Micosoft have never been good sellers. (don't see KI3 being too successful either) And it's kinda sad cause they still had some creative talent left in them until they started doing kinect games. They'd be so much better off freed form Microsoft.
 
They have alot working against them, single platform, developer who has put out mediocre titles, aesthetics are all off and ambiance are off right now compared to the first two games:

Rare is overseeing the project and they brought people onto the team who worked on Skullgirls and Street Fighter.

Double Helix has released mediocre games but from all the interviews I have seen, they all love fighting games. Maybe they have finally found what they are good at.

The game is being praised by pro tournament players as well so im not worried.

That worries me to be honest. Don't forget they are still fans and prolly just hyped to be involved with playing the game early. I don't trust anything they say pre release any more, especially how Injustice's balance turned out.
 
It don't feel like killer instinct, the character are so off! did you see sabrewulf? holy crap dud!

This is how the funs remember sabrewulf

They have a big big problem in the character design. That is the biggest mistake Companies make.

Like all the PS2 Mortal Kombats, after several years of MK Shits they finally back to the essential design and style with MK9.

I speak like a big fun of KI, i played it from the first day KI1 come to the arcades. Maybe young generation are not going to understand this.

The new KI only have the name, is another game for actual generations :/

To be honest the game does look fun. I just hope MS releases a full retail version for you guys and doesn't N&D people for characters,music and stages.

Not to sound like a dick but do people not bother to research or read anything that was posted in this thread? I'm sick of having to explain to people that A FULL VERSION IS AVAILABLE TO BUY AT LAUNCH! They have confirmed this through multiple articles and live E3 demos

Sorry to come off as a prick but I keep seeing constant comments over the last few days on various sites like "F THIS GAME AND THIS FTP BS RELEASE A FULL VERSION" "FU MICROSOFT WE DONT WANT IT FREE TO PLAY WE WANT A FULL GAME"

Christ they are giving you the game for FREE. Sure you only get one character but you at least still get to try the game before you decide if you want to buy it.

I grew up in arcades and with KI and MK and I think the new character designs look amazing. I was fully expecting this game to be a complete reboot like the new Mortal Kombat. Not a HD port/re-release

I am loving the mechanics of this game so far. Blocking and turtling is punished by your opponent getting tons of meter? Awesome
