KI has a lot to overcome...like everything a game could possibly need to overcome in order to get big at tournies.
That said, it sounds like they have fans of fighting games on it, which is a good step. And people aren't saying it's shitty right off the bat, also good.
From what Max said, I don't like the sound of the breaker system. Instinct canceling into 2 ultras sounds more than a little dumb. and I'm not sure if the crazy meter gain is gonna pan out all that well. But that's all stuff that could be fixed and will change throughout development.
It's strange that they're showing it off on cabinets, to bring back that arcade feel, but it's gonna be on the most locked down console ever.
