KI has never had a big roster(both games were 11 i believe)...not really expecting one now.
Just make the characters play extremely different(BlazBlue) and i'll be fine.

As long as characters it has are balanced I don't care what number over 10 character's they have.
I don't think the entire cast of KI1 and 2 will be in the line-up on release day. I think some characters will be dropped for future dlc. Instead there will be some brand new characters in the launch line up.. This is as it's easy to sell dlc of old returning characters than brand new ones.

Good point. TJ Combo better be there at launch though.

I'm sure the roster would be larger on launch if they had more time. It really feels this is getting rushed to be ready at the launch of Xbox One. I imagine it's more important to have something at launch than to delay it.
edit: at the current rate of characters being completed and balanced I wouldn't even bank of the original cast being ready for launch day, much less new characters.

It actually doesn't though.
Thankfully we have more and more American devs making fighters, who aren't held back by the ball and chain of arcade roots.
I doubt DH will go overboard constantly overbalancing characters, its more they are paying attention to content the community wants, and aesthetic/audio changes.
There are system mechanics that have never been used before (counter breakers/shadow cancels) that may need tweaking. Also DLC such as classic costumes and new characters/stages.

That's part of Upload Studio, the app which records your gameplay and uploads it to social networks.
You can select "skins" for your video which puts in cool intros/outros for you automatically. From what they showed at E3, it looks like every game will have its own unique skin you can add to the videos if you want. You can also record commentary using Kinect over your clips which could be really cool, especially for people who want to make "tips and tricks" style videos or walkthroughs.

They had no choice, really. The game was barely tourney viable even after the updates.

True, but that doesn't mean they can't add new characters. a quarter of the character that appeared in the arcade version of SFIV were new.
There were a lot of complaints due to Injustice's constant updates, even though they were justified.

That's impressive. So are Ultras no longer an automated thing and you manually do them now?

Negative. It's still just a single motion. So far...
Jago: SRK+PPP
Wulf: BF+PPP
Glacius: QCF+PPP

I kind of wish killer instincts had supers, but i don't think they were going for that in this type of game, and maybe too man fans would be upset.

Looks like supers got replaced with shadow moves and the instinct mode.
Audio is very compressed, but holy hell.
The ship taking off, the scifi sounds you get in Glacious stage on the ultras, damn so good.
Dat bass drop...

The music timed with the hits is so cool. How have no other fighting games ever done that?

Will there still be a Chief Thunder reveal today?

Also, at the Madcatz event, I hit a 78% damage combo with Wulf. Opponent missed a combo breaker early, all heavy rabid doubles, Instinct cancel into more damage, he missed another breaker, into more heavy doubles....and it killed him with 3/4'ths the health bar. People were flipping the fuck out.

Wow the music and sound effects continue to amaze me.
Just take my money at this point DH.

I'd love to see that, sounds hype.

Did you catch it on camera?
I hope so. All the people complaining about time outs or slow action need to wait. Game isn't even out yet, and I'm probably the only dude to play it the most of the public from all the events.
Just now am I learning how to get REAL damage and make things really hard to break. I have some matches against Filthie Rich, where I learn so much about the game it's crazy. Will put those up later.
the bit at 0:25 is...woah

Any estimated time on the Thunder reveal?

The rumor is right now. But I believe the rumor started at the DH forums so don't hold your breath.
Here's the stream, they are showing KI next, we'll see if they show Thunder.

I doubt they will. I expect they will talk and show off Evo build. Nothing more.

Lobb just said Gamescom for Thunder yeah?
Maybe they'll at least show the character model briefly like they (supposedly) did at PAX Aus...
Please?

Forget showing. He better be playable with another character unveiled and playable there. Wish they were able to start this game a year ago.

An update tweet from Mick said it was a stage and not a character actually and the reporter was mistaken.

Yeah I wouldn't bank on this game having a very large cast by the time launch comes, it seems they are revealing characters as they finish them. That's a lot of crunch work.
Gamescom - August 21-23
Pax - August 30 to September 2
TGS - September 19-22
So Thunder at Gamescom with the next character teased. I don't think will will see the 5th character playable at PAX, too close to Gamescom. TGS could see the 5th playable and 6th teased. Not sure how likely though.
As Gamescom is the big convention where they are revealing the price and other details, it is possible Moore than one character could be revealed.

I just find it funny they said they want more females in the cast and yet the first 4 characters revealed are men. lol Will be epic troll on Ono levels if they show riptor next lol
Yeah. Either they are stacking their show announces... Or they are leaving some surprises or they are going to release the characters later. (Post-release)
Also a chance they are leaving other announces for media exclusives too

They are going to release them post release, but they can't release this game with like 6 characters. They better off delaying it then if that is the case.

Ken just said on twitter, 'Not a month. Stay tuned.' Whew.
I'd rather play it at launch... Even if there's only 6 characters.
