That main theme makes me want to get an Xbone even though I'm ass at fighters and KI is the only exclusive that appeals to me.
Fuuuuuuck.
Fuuuuuuck.
And:
I'm with you man, but she (!!!) is not a dinosaur
Human/Reptile Hybrid.
How about this: make Riptor a character that evolves during the match in order to be true to both his dinosaur/reptilian AND mutant qualities?
He could for instance have three different forms, one more velociraptor like, one more snake like and one more bird like, and allow the player to switch between them.
Or, and this might be even more interesting, he could start out in classic Dino form and evolve over time automatically (or because of damage taken / dished out) into a feathered dino and then a snake like mutant (to name an example) and this would force the player and his opponent to adapt to each new form.
I really like this idea because it gives a new role to Riptor while also being even more true to the mutant dino qualities that he already had (which would place him neatly in line with what DH did with Glacius). It would also be a kind of character creation that screams next gen so to speak because of its dynamism. Do let me know what you guys (and girls) think.
I think it's hilarious that game that started off as a joke for a lot of people when announced at E3 could be the jewel in the crown of their launch.
I mean platform exclusive fighters are damm near non existent in this day and age so the fact you'll need a Xbox One to even play this is quite a boon for MS.

Can't believe this friggin game. Every time I play a shit load at an event, I learn more the next time. Gonna try to get some of this footage of my playing the devs, it gets crazy.
Sucks right? I'm in the exact same boat here!
Apart from SFIV and Smash there rarely have been games that I want to follow this closely when it comes to their development and all the little teases and tidbits. In fact, almost half of the fun for me actually consists of doing just that.
I might cave in at some point and buy that bloody console anyway....sigh...

With all your hands on time, have you seen what is the game actually running on? A PC or and actual Xbone?

If Riptor has feathers I'm going to be pissed. I want to play as a cool reptilian beast not as a giant chicken or Blaziken from Pokemon.

Maybe I'm just tired, but I laughed my ass off at giant chicken lol
When I first saw Killer Instinct at E3 I dismissed it on the spot and I don't regret it, the game looked like trash but I admit that watching Maximilian's videos has gone a long way into changing my opinion. I still hate the art direction and Glacius looks awful but I'm slowly warming up to the game the more I see of it. I don't see myself picking it up as I have no plans to buy an Xbox One, I'll be rocking a Wii U/PlayStation 4 combo this generation.

guys - I removed some of the hiss of that audio and stripped out the talking/silent parts.
Here's the updated KI theme and character select music sample from that youtube video via mp3. Overall quality is still pretty poor due to source but hey it's a start!:

Not a fighter fan but I keep visiting this thread because the game looks so good. Can someone explain the " Ready, Fight" in the middle of the match. I'm not familiar with the franchise.

It actually should just be Ready, and NO fight (ala KI 1 and KI 2) but it appears they going the more traditional route.

But what makes the match stop and this happen?
Players have 2 health bars, when someone's first is drained it triggers the ready
It was an interesting take on the round mechanic...

Got it. Thanks!
If i recall correctly the reason was that Nintendo wanted the game to be as fast as possible and non-stop to showcase the ULTRA 64!!!!! speed for games, we all know what happened with that system in the end
The Xbox One Panel with Ken Lobb and Rare's Nick Burton is today from 11:15AM-12:15AM (PST). Hope we get some new KI news and maybe another new Rare game?
They're not going to announce another game at Comic Con, if anything, it would be announced at Gamescom.
Well idk. They announced Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise at Comic-Con, so you never know... But Gamescom would be more likely.
Anyway... Really hoping we see Chief Thunder today!

Yeah, so stoked!The Xbox One Panel with Ken Lobb and Rare's Nick Burton is today from 11:15AM-12:15AM (PST). Hope we get some new KI news and maybe another new Rare game?
I think it is gonna be KS Rivals or for a crazed Rare fan, a new game. Lobb is the biggest proponent of MS using Rare's IPs. He was a big force behind PD XBLA and I am sure the Banjo games as well. A dream come true would be them announcing a new game for an existing franchise.
Oh, anyone have a link on where we can watch it. I don't think IGN is going to cover it.

Exactly what I was wondering, Hope so!
I don't particularly trust anything from DH forums... Place is swamped with casuals and trolls
There is only so many ways to keep interest until launch
Showing everything at once will leave nothing to talk about
Don't expect to see anywhere near 30 characters in this game, KI always had a smaller roster.

Totally agree dopey.....
In fact, this thread is the best one yet for posters who are actually interested in the game.......its remarkably troll free

Haha yeah it really is kinda bad, Im just hoping they are right I guess. I havnt seen any info anywhere else about what or when KI might be shown, its slim pickins right now.
Edit: On the Comic Con site it says there is an Xbone presentation at 11:15 PDT, so maybe we'll get something there if lucky.
There was concept art floating around of a voodoo doll and a snail like character plus they did state they wanted more female fighters...
I think there may be a LOT more characters in this KI roster after all the DLC dust has settled.
And hardcore nostalgia ridden arrested development "fans" who want a KI1.1.0. port.
It's these ass hats that made the "ultra combo" announcement sound weird
That and my eyes rolled out of my head when I see threads like "orchid must be slutty" and "the women's boobs must jiggle" like wtf.
KI's roster was fine for 1995 & 1996. But this is 2013 now and almost every established fighter has significantly increased rosters.
DH already stated that they will be adding new characters to the roster though. I wonder if there will be any "guest" characters in this game. It would be cool if Joanna Dark was playable.
You mean Banjo and Kazooie.
I certainly hope so, the way the camera would zoom in at the start of a match on those stages in KI1 was always a memory that stuck out to me.
Master Chief vs Fulgore?
Ryu Hyabusa vs Jago? MS: "C'mon Tecmo, we gave you our guy (girl
), now give us yours!"Conker vs Sabrewulf?...You heard it here first.
