sounds good! man you really want eagle huh :P

since its reveal at e3, this period has been the slowest newsless part, and it feels weird! safe to say though, the suite hasnt stopped playing since i first saw it here

i was pretty sure the eurogamer expo was going to reveal its first batch of games today, nothing yet though, was hoping to see anything X1/PS4 exclusive to confirm they would be there, especially KI!

I'll have a Sabrewulf mini-guide going up today on Prima's site. I'll link here when it's up.

Also, I only want Eagle because then I'd feel justified as to why we didn't get to see Thunder in the Evo reveal. If it's just Thunder, then I feel the Evo reveal was really lackluster.

Just finished reading your 'Wulf guide. It's almost surreal to have an in-depth character breakdown months before the game actually launches.

Excellent work, mate.
 
Here's my Sabrewulf breakdown for anyone interested. It's based on the Evo build.

Thanks! Although I wouldn't call this in-depth. I have to hold back quite a bit until I know what's going on with the official guide. If there is one, then I'm hoping to write it. If there isn't one, then I'll still need a lot more time with the game before I can write anything as in-depth as I'd like (including frame data and the like).

Just saw the impressions, Wulf's launcher is actually positive on block, being BF+HK. It leads to potential 20-25% damage after launch, and gives you a chance to do cr.MP into vortex(high/low) or cross under, it's really good.

I think this was the case int he Evo build, but I'll ask the devs tonight.

Thanks for the correction. You mean the launcher from Run right? So, B,F,K,HK? Just want to make sure we're talking about the same thing. Unfortunately, since my only play time is what I can get at events with no extended access, I can only go off of what I see and do. Assuming there's an official guide and I get to write it, I'd have a build and would be able to test everything extensively.

I punished someone for using the launcher at Evo, and saw other people get punished for using it, but it could've just been the person not blocking after. I also asked about Sabre being so unsafe, thinking only Ragged Edge was safe, and the devs actually corrected me saying that only LP Ragged Edge was safe (I had assumed all variations of Ragged Edge were safe). They didn't mention the launcher being safe, let alone advantage on block. Even the devs rarely used it, which is odd since it'd be the only attack Sabrewulf has that's advantage on block.

I mentioned that you can follow up after launchers, but since I don't have a build to play to really test things, I didn't want to put any kind of damage percentage.
 
Goddammit the sound design in this game is amazing.
 
I want this game but it looks so complex.

Yeah, there seems to be a whole bunch of shit to learn to be able to play this worth a crap.

To play online, probably. Unless matchmaking is really good.

I'm pretty shitty at Killer Instinct, but the game is a blast to play...or at least the older ones are. If you're getting an Xbone you may as well download the demo since you can play the entire game with Jago.

I'm definitely going to give it a go. It looks fantastic. I just know I'm gonna get destroyed online.
 
Well the game is a fighting game which is its own genre requiring more knowledge.

The game looks great though on the stream. The graphics look better too seeing the game in motion.
 
It does my heart good to see that arcades have lived on in some way.

Feels, man. The feels.

I know, since i started playing videogames in the arcades back n the 80's/90's seeing this brings me back to those days ;_________________;

so..... much.............. feels
 
118 Hit ULTRAAAA CAMBOWWWWW, eh? Looked liked Manual links out of Wind Kick, eh?

And yeah, the colors do look different; more saturated, and with less thick shadows. It's probably good for a fighter, but I have to say, I kinda liked the thick shadows, just because it had such contrast.

Either is find with me, and it could just be the quality of the stream or whatever they're using.
 
Sorry if this has already been covered in the thread, but on the Xbox One MS preorder site, they describe the Day One Xbox Live as such...

"Make the most of Xbox One by adding a Day One
Xbox Live Gold membership, and play Killer Instinct: Round One with the exclusive Shadow Jago character."

So does that mean it includes all of Round One or does it mean that if I buy Round One, I get Shadow Jago? I ask this because I already have a year of Xbox Live, but if this includes Round One, its a no brainer to pick up an extra year on the cheap.

Everyone gets Jago for free. With this you get a special Jago Shadow skin.
 
Yes! thanks man.
edit: Is Sabrewulfs ultra new? Looks somehow different.

yeah pretty sure something has been changed, maybe just the camera but it looks better.
edit2: or not.. is the evo build. hmm.
 
its only a little thing, but itd really like it the character portraits on the health bars during fights, matched the colour/outfit you had chosen

be even cooler if player 1 had a different stance then player 2 (on the Vs screen) rather then a reversed stance

also, a quick question

just watching a fight where its a colour 2 sabrewulf on glacius stage, the colour stream coming from his swipes are light blue rather then green, is this because of the stage or his outfit? i could have sworn they were normally green?
 
I can't stop listening to the Jago theme. Its fucking amazing. Gets my so hyped and reminds me of the glory days of the arcade when fighters ruled the world.

I gotta get an Xbone for this. I neeeed it in my veins!

Double Helix has said that the character select and VS screens are just placeholders for the alpha builds. It's likely that this is true for the HUD as well.

From what I can tell, Sabrewulf's swipes have always been blue in the post-E3 builds and it's not dependent on stage or skin. I'm not sure why though; the green looked much better.

Genuinely saddened this is an exclusive to Xbone. The more I see and hear the more I want it.

If you're not choosing your console based on the games want, you're probably doing it wrong.

Come to the dark side, it's kind of nice over here :D

I'm not doing anything wrong lol, I'm really not an Xbox guy... and I prefer my fighting games on a playstation pad.

I can't justify the cost for just one game... maybe two or three at a push.

I am not trying to persuade you or something, but those are going to be new controllers, plus there are going to be fighting sticks out there.

And what ps4 exclusives are you excited about? Because I really see nothing that is compelling, especially stacked up with the xb1 launch titles.

I'm useless with fight sticks lol! and I still do not like Xbox's face buttons or D-Pads I'm afraid. It's a shame because this game really does look like a lotta fun. Soundtrack to die for.
