Spinal costumes

Sairus

Fulgore looks super boring

I also reckon Spinal's shield is way overkill in the design department. The rest of him is cool though. Great to see that laugh intact! YAHAHA mother ****ers.
His gameplay looks pretty fun too. I imagine if I get this I'm going straight to him.

Ramza

Awesome looking but he looks nuts gameplay wise :P He can probably setup unblockables with those high low fireballs, lots of nasty stuff! Looks like a mental bs character so definitely my type :pac:

Oh btw is the KI tourney still going ahead for R2C tomorrow Nutrient? And will Spinal be out by then? Would love to try him out

The Spinal patch is out now with classic Glacius and Sabrewulf costumes!

I think that Wulf looks a bit "cartoony" but Glacius looks sick. The accessories for both characters look cool though

RG Rico Suave(Spinal) Vs. KPB Dreamcrusher (S.Wulf) FT10.

Not a KI player, but interested to see what effect this news has on the future of the game. Maybe nothing immediate, but long term support is probably dead.

Edit: Or maybe I'm overreacting.

Judging from those tweets it sounds like Double Helix won't be producing anything for it any more, MS' internal team will be.

Hopefully that won't be as disruptive as it sounds, maybe it was a Capcom/Dimps thing.

Maybe the internal team did most of the work which would explain a double helix game turning out alright.

Killer Instinct Tutorial Chapter 1

An excellent tutorial made by VesperArcade. This youtuber has made loads of videos on SF4 and Marvel in the past such as the trial/mission videos for each character. In this tutorial he goes into the basics of KI which includes Autos, Manuals, Linkers, Openers and Enders. He also talks about frame data and explains each characters specific "Combo Trait". A good watch for anyone who is curious.

Personally, I'd never sell my current gen system, I've too many titles on it to justify it, I wouldn't have purchased the system had I not gotten the reduced price prior.

I don't think I ever will sell 'em

But everyones different

Summary of the Microsoft Thursday Stream 6/3/14


Fulgore

-He is really coming along.
-Will be great for people who like to manage meter.
-Very excited to see how players perform his combos.
-His Shadow Meter and Instinct Meter work harmoniously together.
-Confirmed to be a Zoner.
-Fulgore and Glacius will be a very interesting match-up.
-He is a mix of new stuff and KI 1 and 2.
-He still has his teleport move.
-He cannot turn invisible.
-His teleport is different than Spinal’s.
-Character isn’t fully polished yet. Still some work left to do before release.
-He has a dash/run move.
-Does not have a dive kick.
-At a basic level, he is not difficult to use. It’s how players utilize his tools that will determine how difficult he is or not.

Other News

-Reiterates once again that Shadow Jago will eventually get his own move set.
-Want Shadow Jago to be available to everyone.
-Replays will not be deleted after every major update.
-Lobbies are still on to be released later this month.
-Have been thinking about what to do with the other old characters as well new characters.
-No set date for the other Classic Costumes.
-Early adopters will not have to pay for Shadow Jago.
-Sadira will receive her own Classic Costume.
-Jury is still out on whether Spinal is too strong or not. Want to watch more videos before determining if he should be balanced.
-There is a version of Thunder that has a Mohawk (may be Classic Costume).
-There are plans for a balance patch. Want all eight characters released first before moving forward with it.
-Want to continue keeping KI a mix between different types of characters.
-Plans for Stage Ultras in the future.
-Still love the idea for ‘respect taunts’.
-May do a poll asking what characters people want to see in the future.
-Sadira’s Classic Costume is imagined as how she would have looked in the 1990s.
-They started making No Mercy moves in the past. Jago had his own No -Mercy move where he threw his opponent up in the air and cut him in half. It was removed because there wasn't enough time to give the other characters a finisher as well
-Story/Arcade Mode is the same thing.
-When asked if Story Mode has only one boss, they said it would depend on how you play.
-Have not talked about Glacius’ back dash on wake up.
-May change the color of Spinal’s skull colors for Spinal vs. Spinal match-ups.
-Having conversations about moves that would utilize double meter.
-It was not a difficult decision to remove Orchid’s tonfas.
-If Eyedol and/or Gargos were to be implemented into the game at some point, they would likely be completely redesigned.

Thunder retro costume leaked

people on the DH forums aren't too happy and I agree that it doesn't look too good, but this is most likely Thunder's retro look with all the accessories on.
