Killer Instinct needs a pirate with sword and retractable hook hand (Sort of like Scorpion he can grab you). His level is a pirate ship or island with buried treasure surrounded by sharks. Pay me Double Helix.

Not really for a very short period of time this will happen plus the trade off would be her attacks does less damage

tl;dr
Finished them both and... wow, this guy is now one of my heroes. His passion is infectious. I am now more interested in Wolfenstien than I ever was.
That part where he used the audience was amazing. I am now going to be trying to find every bit of music I can in the game to try and figure out where all those sound bits ended up.
So far I think that the whistling and wind bits will end up in the background and in the tornado on Thunders stage. As for the others, I don't really know.
Also, I can't stop trying to do the throat thing!
Not sure about the hook thing but I can see Double Helix putting a pirate slant on Spinal.
He's already sort of...piratey?
I have a feeling most if not all of it was for Thunders stage. The only thing I'm questionable on is the "zombie" like whistle thing he had them do.
Also it would be pretty bad ass if the chanting stuff was for Thunders ultra hits on his stage.
As far as real martial arts go, i wouldn't mind seeing a Wing Chun practitioner as part of the cast. If any style lends itself to a game that's about big combos it's that one.
Also would love to see a character maybe based on Sun Wukong( monkey king) complete with magical growing staff, i imagine with so much reach would make him almost like a Zoner.

I would LOVE this to happen actually. I was probably one of the few people to miss Son Son in MvC3.
And my reaction to Sabrewulf's music so far is pretty much in line with:
unfortunately. The old theme was my absolute favorite character theme and while this new piece of music will probably be nice as well (mostly because it reminds me of the classical piece Danse Macabre, as can be heard here while accompanying stills from a haunted house / graveyard ride in the Dutch amusement park De Efteling - this would have actually been a good source of inspiration in general by the way!), it does sound a bit lacking in the oomph and graveyard / violin dance department. Oh well, maybe we'll grow to love it!
lol!
the $20 for 7 isn't that bad... but the costume pack is a ripoff!

in for the ULLLLTRAAAAAA EDITIONNNNNNN.
they missed a trick by not calling it that by the way.
It's in line with Injustice.
So 6 at launch with 2 before their 'official launch date'
So, get the full base game for $20 bucks... Or get it with Accessories, costumes, and the original KI for 20 dollars more.
Not bad at all. Insanely cheap initial price for entry, for a game that looks like this.
6 characters at launch, 2 soon after. That seems pretty within expectations, given the info feed we've been getting.

I'll enjoy listening to the soundtrack on YouTube.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Orchid, Spinal, Fulgore, Cinder?
Sounds about right.
$40 for 8 characters and you get the original game?
Put me down for that one. I'm excited for the new game but I still really enjoy playing the SNES version. I was really hoping for at least 10 characters though.
I'm somewhat surprised there isn't a bundle with the fight stick.

I wonder which two will be relegated to DLC status...
Cinder/Spinal I guess?
It does say "first" 8. Already obvious this is being rushed, kinda nice to know this will build over time, I guess. Price seems fair enough i think
That's the standard price per DLC character for fighting games and it's pretty fair. Still, $20 for a fighting game with only 8 fighters seems a bit much, especially considering we'll only play with 6 at launch, should be $15. If the game has a deep story mode and is packed with content similar to MK9 I wouldn't mind paying even $30, but I doubt they'll include that.

Not sure if I'll go for the $20 or $40 edition yet. Curious to see what all is included as far as costumes and accessories.

£17 for the Combo Breaker Pack sounds pretty inexpensive to me, will get that one.
What concerns me is that the "Season Pass" only includes two future DLC characters...
Once the initial 8 are released, do we have to start shelling out the full $4.99 per character?
Will there be a new, 50%-off bundle offered upon release of the 9th character? ($10 Season pass for the next 4 characters as an example)
Hmmmmm

The free download probably includes everyone (just locked until you pay). Compatabity packs for post launch characters.
So inexpensive entry level price and an early promise of support for more, and all people can think about right now are "Rushed!" "OMG, $5 per character if you buy them separately!", etc, etc?
Not to mention the "Ultra Edition" will be getting you the first real port of the Arcade KI along with it.
I think it'll be very good to have something like KI easily obtainable for such a low price on Day 1 of a console release. The idea of getting to "Location Test" future fighters from Day 1 sounds pretty exciting to me, as a gamer. Could already be working out the kinks while new fighters are coming to the game still. Wouldn't you like to be playing that GGXrd Location test the world over, rather than watching a limited amount of sneaky cell-phone movies taken in a single arcade in Japan?
I actually think this is a nice starting point for all fighters this Gen. If this works out well, we could be seeing the next iteration of SF way before Capcom's classically-planned dreams suspect. Or that KoF in late 2014 Arcade release could take a new path to release, that allows them to make money while still making more and more characters for the game.
MOBA's get away with it, PC games get away with making you pay for "Alpha" and "Beta" states when a game is missing vital modes and gameplay. Why does it suddenly cause complaints when it's applied to a game genre that actually makes SENSE to offer modular parts for, on console?

Being digital only, they don't have to worry about compatibility packs. When a new character is released, they will just push the patch to everyone.
You have to remember that it's an update of an already released game. I can go and buy DOA5 for £7. The pricing of the f2p version reflects that.
In the £17 package, that's £2.13 per character.
Remember Dead or Alive 5 or DOA 5 Plus (Vita) are completely incompatible with the forthcoming Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate.

40$ is fine. I have spent 60$ on plenty games this gen that wasnt worth 60$

This game better have an extensive tutorial/training mode like Killer Instinct 64 had. So many good memories from that game a lot more than with the original.

How many DOA characters are there total, now compare that to KI.
Also how many characters did Blaze Blu launch with and what was the MSRP, now compare that to the new KI.

Thats good to hear. Unfortunately XBOX gold needed to play online is a bummer but I hope I can get to try this game at local fighting community meet ups in the future before I decide to go with an Xbox 1 or not.

I was all-in at any price (within reason), so $39.99 for everything you can get at launch? Take my money. Pretty sweet that they're including the original KI arcade. It would probably be too much to expect it to be upgraded though (less compressed assets).
Now the question is who are the other two characters that'll be in the game for day one? So far we have Jago, Sabrewulf, Glacius and Chief Thunder.

the REAL question is will it have achievements?
BB launched with 12 characters, but they were 2D and had so much detail and depth put into them. Plus the game had a lot of content, especially for its time.
Another more fair example would be Skullgirls, which was a new game that launched with 8 characters for $15.

8 characters for $15+next gen tax is ok.
Still wtf do they mean by character accessories?

Considering the rate of reveals, 8 characters was to be expected
