  • Devs have shown interest in some kind of King of the Hill mode.
  • Non-story can still have modes: Arcade, Survival, Special conditions, Team Battle, etc.
  • The fact they have a "point earning" system normally hints to their being something to do to earn those points. And those kind lf "3 hit combo: +200 points!" notices aren't generally for online / multiplayer play.

DOA makes elaborate modes out of viewing the characters in various poses in any stage you choose, with outfit, hairstyle, sweat and dirt level options as a choice. Or it's dynamic survival mode, where you can pick up enemy drop items to restore health as you fight on.

Chaos Code on PSN offers the ability to view stages individually, and has an exceptional gallery of in-game assets to view. Similar things happened in the KoF MI series.

Soul Calibur series generally put a lot of lore and notes behind their galleries. SCV had a mode that allowed you to fight ghost data of players.

There's a lot more than just Boon-style stuff out there, and even if it's just 2 or 3 modes, we don't know how fleshed-out each will be. Even the newest, smallest roster fighters generally try to do something unique and notable.

Yea I doubt any of this is in the game especially at launch. This is a game that has had a very short development cycle and they are cramming to have it ready for launch. It doesn't even have a full roster or a single player ladder with boss fights much less anything else.

We already know it has accessories, unlockable announcers (and potentially colors), and some kind of in-game challenge / point earning structure. I wouldn't be too surprised to see an out-of-left-field online or offline mode make it into the game.
 
Not sure if I like the Orchid redesign yet.

Also, I knew they were saving Fulgore until next year...this is not gonna go over well with people. Fulgore is the face of KI.

Isn't there two more characters coming shortly after launch this year?

I think so, but I have my doubts that Fulgore is one of them.

When did Double Helix say they were adding a story mode? Because Fulgore is a big part of KI's story, I think he'd come around that time.
 
Boo! Boo!
I'm not really angry with Orchid, she deserves a spot. But bring in Thunder and keeping Fulgore on the side? Yeah, no purchase from me.
 
Orchid confirmed? ORCHID CONFIRMED! I want to shout but I'm in the office now. She alone was the sole element in my decision to keep my Xbox One preorder or not. :)

So without further reservation:

*ahem*

ORCHIIIIIIIIIIID!!!!!!!!!!

Season one is basically all wrapped up. Each character except for one is on the table if we include shadow Jago, so who's the last character?
