Is there a retail version of this coming that isn't some super expensive LE? A friend of mine was saying they had a big LE coming to retail but he didn't know about a full version of the game without all kinds of extra goodies.

If it's not Orchid, I'm going to knock over a magazine rack.
Another problem with that is, what happens to the people not reading instructions and just spamming A just to get to play and pick an underwhelming character to them? SOL for them and their impression will not be good. If anything, they could always tease a new character and announce another character to use for free over the weekend/specific days?
From what I played at EVO, Jago was the most fun to use namely because of his "Around the World" linkers (should really come up with a term for each character's unique combo trait/ability though). It's so easy to do, but so satisfying and he's good all around.

Can you make sure someone takes a Vine of you doing it with the KI them music in the background?
The only versions revealed so far are
- the "Free" Jago+All modes (even online) version
- the 6 (+2) character $20 version,
- the $40 version that includes all of the above, plus costumes, accessories, and KI1.
All digital only. Most likely won't be a retail unless it:
- Comes as a code with the fightstick
- Gets a retail release after round 2 is released, or something.
I would make it so that you get one random character when you download the game. By making it so that you have no control over which character you receive in theory online population would be more balanced.
Would be quite a ballsy move for a company like MS to do. But it would receive a lot of rage and backlash from people not getting the character that they want.

The issue with this is that you would have people creating multiple accounts to download the demo versions, then they could sign into the XBL account that has the character of choice whenever they choose.
Digital purchases are linked both to the physical console and gametag that bought it. There would probably be a way of linking the character to the physical console (like how digital games are linked to the physical console and to the gamertag that purchased it); so no matter how many times you re-download the demo or try a different account, the free character won't change.
If possible that's what I would do.

Nice job with them! Gotta love that strengthening storm, the rain looks especially good in these gifs of yours!
I really like the effect of rain splash-off with the impacts in the stage. It makes Sammamish look so strong, and like every fall is one to remember.

They should pronounce the mohawk-no mohawk uppercut more and make it a shadow move.
Since most people choose a "main" in fighting games, that would just make the game effectively free. I don't think that would make sense in terms of actual viability.
"Customers want a better product for free."
Awesome. I am loving those "costumes" already, looks really natural and good.

I love this one, makes the fur stand out more.

My goodness. Looks insane!
If anyone has issues getting Jago for free in ALL modes, or paying $20 for the first 8 characters and story mode, I don't know what to say. Are people seriously going to say that free Jago with the full game or a $20 get all the basics option is a bad thing? People want different free characters? Come on...
Go buy your $60 CoD Ghosts and have fun with that...

I feel like I am going to be so disappointed in the new Orchid. She has to have sir mix a lot type proportions and be flipping around like crazy.

how many hours for this? you know, EU here
The event is scheduled to begin in a little less than seven hours (8 PM PDT), so I assume the stream will be up around the same time.
welp, guess i'll catch up with this in the morning, hope to see the thread blow up
Btw do we know if it's "New Charachter" as like, really new and not from KI1&2?

Last time, I believe the actual KI portion started around 9:00PM PDT // 12:00AM EDT // 6:00AM CET, and lasted about an hour.

Yes, Orchid soon, as well as T.J. Combo and Spinal.
Also, do we know yet if they're going to put Jago's revive move from KI2 back in this?

I'm really hoping TJ Combo makes it this round. I think he may be the easiest to screw up character design wise. Hopefully they can pull it off.
Also, did I read right there finishing moves aren't going to make it at launch? That's a little disappointing. Some were pretty cool and I liked how you could string them into combos.

TJ Combo would be easiest to screw up? He's probably the simplest designed character out of the entire original roster, and the easiest to update to a modern look.

He'll look like Jamie Foxx, ugh.

T.J. Combo was my favorite character from the first Killer Instinct. If he doesn't make the first 6, hope he at least makes this game's regular roster.
Wouldn't surprised me if even after that 8 they do a season pass sort of deal. (Would love Maya back.)

Does the stage start storming harder while thunder is doing combos?
Yeah, looking at his old design..you can only go up from there. Honestly i still think they should go the MMA route with that character. Also holy shit at those gifs. Game look gorgeous IMO.
During Ultra combos' the backgrounds go all crazy with explosions, debris, storms, etc.

Has anyone played this game with the pad yet? I always see it paired with arcade sticks, just looking for how well it plays with default pad.

So the 20 bucks gets us 8 characters and the story mode? Shit, after seeing those gifs above, this game is looking GREAT for 20 bucks.

I love hearing they got Ken Lobb back to reprise Chief Thunder's voice. Stuff like that is too good.

tl;dr
I think something a lot of people may also be forgetting is that, unless I am very mistaken, all of the new characters also come with their own stages. So that $5 gets you a character and a dynamic stage.
Rain starting is through the progression of the match, at the end it's pouring and with an ultra it goes apeshit
I'm excited for new character and stage, hurry DH!
Yup! They confirmed this during the last live-cast I caught. All the stages have some variation on that, both with music and the physical surroundings.

Combo was my main in the original KI so I hope he's one of the characters in the first 8

It was stated yesterday that the new character would be revealed before the next stream. Are they talking about the stream tonight?
We don't know, but don't forget DH/MS aren't the ones streaming super Friday, they just bring the units
YEah where was this footage taken from?
