As long as she isn't a palette swap of Orchid.

Not that the old fatalities were great or anything but has anyone confirmed the're coming back?
They are not.

Eh, probably for the best. Still a little disappointing for some reason.
The devs have said that if there's really a heavy demand they can add them, but not on release
Woah, is this a real screenshot?
Yes. I remember laughing out loud when this happened.
I hope so I loved the outrageous fatalities. Orchid anyone?
Edit: all signs point to this game being rushed like hell. Hope it turns out well.

I really don't think so. And I think that is why we won't have many characters out the gate. They are focusing way more on gameplay and features.
I guess we can expect Fulgore as part of the roster!
DH confirmed Fulgore, Cinder, and Spinal will be included (in addition to Jago, Glacius, Sabrewulf, and the recently revealed Chief Thunder).

Daaaaamn! This game IS in good hands GAF, I'm sure of it after the EVO interview. Ken Lobb is a very cool guy with a awesome voice. A true passionate veteran in the gaming industry.
This game looks fucking INSANE!! I have to buy the Xbox One eventually, I can't possibly NOT ignore this game. I torture myself when I do this.
PS4 will be in my home day one, but I have to say that Killer Instinct makes me way more excited than the whole 1st party line-up of the PS4.
Double Helix will redeem themselves with Killer Instinct. Calling it right now.
I wait for the inevitable retail version. I hope it doesn't take that long.

Her hahas are so fine they make an alien, a reptile, a robot and a fucking skeleton to die just by looking at them...
Bottles said he was going to be in the game.
I agree. Probably something like 10-12 fighters to start with. First season of DLC will probably be 4-6 fighters and if that does well I could see them doing a second season with a comparable amount of extra fighters. When the dust finally settles it will probably be between 20-25 fighters which is perfectly fine by me if they are mostly balanced and varied.

I hope the game launch with at least 10. Right now we on pace for 6.

I have a feeling they're going to put ryse characters and spartans as playable fighters. And this will be as awful as ps3's all stars.
We have seven so far. I can see Orchid, Combo, Riptor or all three get announced by launch.
Xbox releases in Nov. So one character reveal each month. August is Orchid, Sept. is combo, Oct is Riptor.

id agree but we've yet to actually see cinder, fulgore, and spinal. I hope they along with cheif thunder are in the GDC build, start ramping up Development. then tease orchid or riptor for TGS. I wish MS would announce X13 for october to get real momentum into november at least with the US press

I looked at a YouTube video of all those old fatalities and my God were they awful. The majority are worse than D level MK fatalities.

Wow. That sounds fantastic.
Dare I say... this game is looking really realy good. THat direct feed video the other day showing off the music in combination with gameplay actually impressed me.
I was actually surprised to be "surprised."
This is one of the rare occasions when I wish this game could be delayed 4-6 months. They seem to be listening to feedback and the staff looks very promising after all. I don't get why MS wants this game ready at launch, their lineup is actually pretty decent and a summer 2014 release for KI would mean we get the best product with good netcode and probably a good single player campaign.
Sucks that it is being rushed because that may cause a bad first impression on the community. That often kills fighting games as we saw with SFxT

It's not being rushed at all
It's F2P
Release, listen to the feedback and tune it till it's ready for retail.
That's the benefit of going F2P but of course, this is all from my ass.

The feedback so far has sounded much better than SFxT, and it's still young.
Its not F2P, DH is going to release a demo with Jago playable for single and multiplayer. The full game will be available for purchase the same day as that demo.
That said, you are right about them being able to respond to feedback and implement it via the download model. And they stated in the panel thats exactly what theyre gonna do. Respond and update regularly.
Edit: beaten, and lol love that pic

That was 5 years ago.
Pretty sure it has also been tested even more. Since the announcement at E3 this game has been showcased in a lot of venues and by many more people than STxT
Skullgirls has Nine characters, and by the time KI comes out, they will have 10 characters.

It's amazing what updates can do and with the cloud being such a predominant tool on the Xbox One they can update things on the fly. I feel sorry for those who can't have a online connection or refuse to be connected.

Is that the feature that makes a short video of your best moments?
I dunno, but it looks like you can customize the title ("best of evo") as there was something different at E3 - and have some short gameplay that maybe you choose for yourself? Interesting for sure.
It kinda baffles me of how much we have not seen of the game yet that was confirmed to be in at the panel etc.

Yeah, sounds like we will see it all at Gamescom
Actually, SFxT had great first impressions if I remember right. It was only close to release that its flaws became apparent.
Constant updates actually hurts fighters as we saw with Injustice, you don't want to change characters often as it messes with the players.
Skullgirls is an indie game, despite its budget. Also, it has a lot of problems gaining popularity because of its small roster, especially because it's a team based fighter. While KI doesn't have that problem people expect more from a long retired franchise with a lot to prove, plus it's backed by one of the largest companies so they should have all the funds and manpower needed for a decent roster of at least 16 or so.
