Orchid has an air throw?

Did someone say she's charge?

She definitely felt quite chargey in the original. I've not idea how she'll play this time around.

She was charge in KI.

In KI2 they changed all the charge commands to tap back, forward or tap forward, back.

This made Sabrewulf awesome.

Ken Lobb showing off how the classic KI game looks on the XBO.

Looking at the Dojo mode
It seems to have the most tools on offer from any fighter I've seen before

Also the sound design is indeed impecable, the themes while not ALL are great some are very memorable

KI main theme is one of the best i've ever heard in a fighter, theme is exciting.

IJ has the worst music I've ever heard, period.

That is the booklet that comes with the "ultimate pin edition" of KI. Its for collectors. For the upcoming year there will be events in which people have to attend if they want to get a certain pin. There will be a pin for every character in the cast. When "Penny Arcade" uploaded this pic on their website, they forgot to censor Fulgore's name.

Pin Ultimate Edition.

Please give their gloriously terrible "Penultimate" pun the respect it deserves.

How will this work? Are we talking about physical events which people will have to travel to, or only events were you'll then get the pin sent out to you?

I gather you can get them sent out for non-physical tournament events.

Each character will get its own pin and the official Killer Instinct page will reveal surprise pins, every month until the end of the season, that can be earned through your community and in-game efforts.
Additional pins sold separately or available as part of future promotional activities.

A load of people have been getting mails from MS saying they're unlocking all the KI characters for free...

Aye, they're apparently giving them out as rewards to people with high gamerscores and/or long active accounts.

Shadow jago us okay

Just spent the last half hour playing KI at this Xbox gig in Dublin. I'm having a blast with out. It's simple and fun. Also, Sabrewulf is a beast!

KI is on Spooky now

CdJr vs FilthieRich ... easily the best matches of the night hosted by Spooky. the two players show off all the mechanics of the game in this set. Also Filthie shows off his skills with every member of the cast.

Scavenger XIII

I'm almost annoyed at how fun this is starting to look.

On one hand I loved KI when I was a wee lad so It's good to see the game turning out decent. On the other hand I still don't want an XBone or any of the season-pass DLC character nonsense going on.

deathrider

I must have put about two hours into this at the Xbox One Tour, and the more I played it the more I loved it. It's just great craic. The mechanics are simple and easy to get used to. The combos are all very flashy, and everything just makes you feel like a badass. I don't think I've enjoyed a new fighter this much since MK.

FutureGuy

The reviews are starting to pour in. Favourable reviews across the board. The only major complaint is the lack of characters. I'm not bothered about that so long as the 6 that are in it are solid.
