No clue how to fight shadow jago or how to unlock his stage, tried beating story mode with regular jago and no dice.
I noticed this as well. Not sure if its a bug or intentional.

Only messed around with him for a little bit but...it seems like Fulgore kinda sucks. There are rarely good opportunities to build meter. Sure you can build a bit here or there but compared to everyone else's meter generation it's pretty abysmal.
I'll have to play with him a bit more but first impressions aren't great. I imagine he'll be stuck as a lower tier character for for the most part.

dont forget his "triple" double which is the best way to gain bar
Don't know about the triple double, but chest laser is quarter circle forward hp+mp+lp while you have instinct activated.
they said it was one of the 3 ways to gain meter
i am having difficulty doing it though... i have done it a few times though
\/ ah yes that's it. i was thinking it was another input... but it's a hold

I believe you have to hold down the button of your auto double for it to do a triple, or that's what seems to work for me.
Beat arcade mode with Jago...his ending was kinda meh, at least the one I got.
Messing around with Fulgore now, I like him. Something odd though, I noticed there is no 'fan' or nuclear symbol or whatever it is in the circular spot in his instinct meter...its just empty. Does anyone else have this or is my game glitched?

Has Cinematics listed under Fight Archive on the main menu.
Not sure what all that consists of though since I haven't gotten around to Arcade mode yet.
Correct, that's where the endings show up after you unlock them.
If you any of you moved your instinct meter position up or down in the HUD options, thats why the nuclear symbol doesnt show up in Fulgores instinct meter. I reset the position to default and sure enough now its there.
Edit: and yeah Ultras seem faster now.

aw man the endings suck.really short even compared to the original KI.
Max with the 140+ hit Fulgore ultra http://youtu.be/_npw1PPnCJg
I'd dislike the endings more if we didn't seem to be getting 3 per character. That's a nice bit, along with the intro animations. A little something in between battles would have been nice though; even if it was just a piece of artwork of the character transitioning to the next area.
Thunder's Retro Alt is officially out too, btw.
Anywho, I played in a lobby online, and... it was really framey, skipping frames everywhere. I've restarted the game since the patch downloaded, but now, I've given Xb1 a reset, to see if that helps later.
I rather like Fulgore so far, as he has a bunch of BS he can pull off without meter, but even more once you get it. It's funny he actually has a "super beam" motion, rather than just pressing instinct again. His combo trait kinda throws me off at first, as those light charges go by pretty fast, but nothing one won't get used to. His normals are all very direct and to-the-point, and all the link shenanigans he can get off normal -> projectile are pretty fun.

where did you hear there are 3 endings per character and also how do you get them?
When you beat the game and go to the cinematic it'll say "Sadira ending 1" for example. Been confirmed by myself and from the devs on twitter. Need to get all 3 and beat medium without dying to get the special shadow jago fight. I just don't know the criteria to get Orchid 1 and 2.

Is Fulgores Hidden theme up? Any pictures of Shadow Tiger's Lair? Any hints found from the endings? 
You are not alone, it took my like 45 minutes to beat the arcade mode with Jago on medium. The game's ai is way harder than it used to be.

wtf i heard ultimates will be in season 2.

Anyone know how to get the other endings? I'm thinking it may have to do with ultra comboing certain characters, and maybe waiting for the time to run out on certain matches?
I've got two endings so far. Both played on noob difficulty. Haha. I'm putting down what I did so we can figure out the ending criteria
Fulgore (ultra on most enemies, died a few times)
Thunder (ultra everyone except Fulgore, beat under 6 min (match clock), no continues)
Fulgore (ultra on most enemies, died a few times)
Fulgore prototype passed inspection, released or something to that effect
Orchid gets you to spare her life by telling you that Eagle is still alive

Here's someone fighting Shadow Jago. It's pretty crappy quality but he has a different move set.

Holy Shit dat Ultimate Combo..HNNNNNNNG. And looks like he has Jago's slide from KI2!
I thought you made a typo! An ultimate!!!

That Shadow version of his slide looks very awkward. lol. And he does two tiny fireballs. Those were the only changes. I really hope that there will be more changes than that later one. But that Ultimate though! Pretty awesome, even if it's no blood and whatnot.

Max just beat Shadow Jago. http://www.twitch.tv/maximilian_dood
There's an ending seems to be setting up Season 2. It looks like the boss of Season 2 will be "Aria" the head of Ultra Tech.

Wait, really? Is there a video on that?
Got an XB1 at launch and loved this game despite any shortcomings due to the high quality of the game itself and what was there was great. I used to fight AI on Killer all the time. I play arcade and hard mode and it is just impossible. Not in a fun or challenging way. Just imagine never landing a hit and having 95% of your combos broken after just a few hits.
Even on normal after a few battles the difficulty ramps up. I don't get this new AI. When I play people and lose against them online I feel it is because of skill that I lost. The AI just feels cheap/rigged to me now. Jump next to orchid? Instant anti-air attack, every time. Jump while fighting Sadira? Get ready to get hit and slowed by a web 5 times.
What happened with the AI? Before it felt like it was actually a player who could have flaws. I wasn't just rusty in this game. To make sure I went online and I was able to beat 10 people in a row. I can beat Eyedol in KI Classic in a few tries while the arcade mode gets rediculous with the difficulty.
For all the time it took to release story mode I feel that it is a joke. Fighting all they players on stages that already exist, along with small text basesd cutscenes made up of assets that already exists is just cheap. I say this as someone who loves this game, but I am very let down by the story mode, it cheapens a high quality experience.
The good news is that Fulgore and his stage are really cool.
Does anyone else feel this way? I can't be the only one right?

Yeah, the AI in arcade mode is really difficult, I was playing on Easy and had some trouble. The guys on the Microsoft Stream last week couldn't beat medium difficulty during the stream.
