i think they are around €200. a cheaper option would be to mod an 360 stick to work with the XBO if you already have one.

i personally didnt play the game, but people do generally prefer the 1st game over the second.

Some Spinal dive kick action

Also, Eventhubs posted a much more detailed list on all the new info on Spinal which can be found at this link

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2014/jan/23/spinal-has-dive-kick-overhead-fireball-and-ghostly-manuals-killer-instinct-rage-quit-issue-being-addressed-next-update/

Ramza

No morphing

He sounds like his mixups will be mental!

Will his ghostly manuals allow for unblockables? Like, auto double into teleport then the ghostly manual comes from the other side while you hit from the other? If I'm getting that right

Sairus

From Eventhubs

• Another way to acquire skulls is by using his shield absorb special move.
- This attack can absorb physical attacks. (The stream used the example of Spinal absorbing Jago's Wind Kick, gaining 1 skull, then punishing Jago even though he'd normally have frame advantage in that situation. They also mentioning being able to absorb a full Shadow Wind Kick from Jago.)

Wat. He has a friggin focus counter now?

Spinal sounds like a beast here.

• Spinal retains his classic laugh, and can do so by performing his taunt.

YAHAHAHA

Ramza

Woah, that's even more than focus, it's a move that negates positive frames of moves? AND it's an absorb? Holy crap. His shield was just back+LP in the original, wonder if it's the same input

HE HAS ****ING CTHULHU ON HIS SHIELD, = ****'S ABOUT TO GO DOWN

Spinal to get day 1 patch LOOOL, character sounds godlike

Yep, its the same input in the new game as well. Its mentioned on the Eventhub list but you have to hold the LP

The KIT (Kumite in Tennessee)tournament will be streaming some Killer Instinct on the twitch channel Sixfortyfive at 8pm (Irish time).

http://www.twitch.tv/sixfortyfive

Known players attending include Pr Balrog, JWong, Dieminion and Chris G.

2gen

JWong (W) vs Pr Balrog (L) Grand Finals at the KIT tournament.

there were 5 Wulfs in top 8, but after seeing how Pr Rog handled the match up in these matches i'm sure that S.Wulf will fall down in numbers like how Wesker did in UMVC3.

also there is some footage of Dieminion playing Thunder in the archives which is cool.

2gen

finally a concrete date for the Spinal reveal trailer...

Also, the DH team will be streaming Spinal gameplay at 10pm (Irish time) at the following link

http://www.twitch.tv/xbox

also it should be noted that Fulgore will be teased at the end of the Spinal trailer, so thats another thing to look forward to.

-UPDATE- stream has been delayed to Friday 31st ..... -_-*
