So does this mean when, say, they're airing the KI streams every Thursday, we're seeing a 30 second delay? It sure doesn't seem that way. Perhaps they're doing something techy to reduce the delay or get rid of it altogether?
Yeah, we have a delay there. It's just the way the site works, and it's across the board for everyone, which shows a lot when you watch a streamer that is trying to interact with chat a lot.

Yeah it's probably the worst thing Twitch has implemented, makes interactions with the chat a pain in the ass.
If only I could get to him. Orchid is my main and sadira is the bane of my existence.

I love when I'm fighting against CPU Orchids. I break her combo every single time she tries to open with that.

Nice! I love the Gladiator set, the knight one isn't so great. It looks just odd with that helmet. I wonder what the 4th set, I hope it's some dark fantasy thing.
Highlights from today's stream http://www.killerinstinctcentral.com/highlights-from-the-killer-instinct-stream-041714/
Showed Classic Spinals colors and accessories (released today).
Selecting Ultras will likely be in Season Two.
Its a lot more difficult creating a completely new character as opposed to revamping an existing character.
Confirms that ARIA is a she.
Would like to show in the KI meld some of the original ideas they had for the game.
Shadow Jago will not be receiving his unique moveset until later this year.
ARIA name does mean something, wouldnt say what.
Iron Galaxy has already started development on Season Two.
We can expect around another eight characters for Season Two.
Killer Instinct will be both E3 and EVO.
No Mercys and Ultimates will not be previewed before E3.
Well hear more about a female announcer during Season Two.
Stages are expensive to build.
More at the link!

Would be cool if characters received white colors.
Mike will still be the voice of various things in Season Two.
Are thinking of new ways to do the story in Season Two.
No plans to build your own characters in KI.
KI is one of the main reasons the d-pad was improved upon for the Xbox One.
Considering brand new fighting archetypes for Season Two.
The AI in Arcade Mode is more difficult because the AI learns.
They are considering redesigning the games UI (menus, character select screen, etc.).
Would love to have KI gamerpics, but no guarantee it will happen.

Uh... the d-pad is still pretty bad. I certainly can't play this game on an X1 pad. DS4 d-pad is far superior.
I would be fine with 3 characters at launch if it means we get it early.
Yeah, hard call on that. I would imagine working with an already made engine would be easier, but with the team switchup it may not work out like that.
I'm alright if they stagger it again, though.

- Riptor
- TJ Combo
- Kim Wu
- Cinder
- Vampire
- Tusk
- Maya
- ARIA
That's how I see it, in that order specifically. Also, I added 'Vampire' based on that one thing found in Killer Instinct 2/Gold.

ARIA I don't see launching last. She would be among the first characters if they have the new story mode prepared for launch, which I think they should. Personally, I'd like to see the season be evened out between new old--four returning characters, four new. Then for Season three do the same.
Just to say, Cinder, Combo and Riptor are the most in-demand characters right now. Our current poll on KIC (started at the beginning of April):
Cinder (35%, 748 Votes)
T.J. Combo (26%, 547 Votes)
Riptor (18%, 385 Votes)
A Brand New Character (6%, 123 Votes)
Tusk (5%, 107 Votes)
Kim Wu (3%, 74 Votes)
Maya (3%, 69 Votes)
Eyedol (3%, 65 Votes)
Gargos (1%, 26 Votes)
Total Voters: 2,144

Which is why I expect her last. She's the final boss. If they completely re-do the story mode from what we have now, it would take a bit longer, especially with the current cast we have now plus new characters added in. They'd have to get stuff done for them.
Honestly I wouldn't mind that, but i'm sure that could possibly go bad by keeping Cinder/Riptor for Season 3 to help it out. New characters are always welcome and i'm curious on what other 'beast' character would join the cast.

Or the almost as important question, where is Killer Cuts 2? They were saying end of March and we're fast approaching the end of April now.
Are they actually going to call it Killer Cuts 2? That sounds like a Killer Instinct 2 soundtrack (which was titled Gold Cuts, thanks to the stupid N64 port). I guess it's probably better than any other alternative though.
Mick keeps saying that MS is doing it. On an interesting note, Mick did post a new Vine.
Absolutely not. We don't even know if we're getting a season three, but even if that was confirmed, no way should we have to wait for season three to get the complete KI1/2 cast. That would upset A LOT of people, myself included.
I would take any of the old characters over Sadira any day of the week. I know I'm probably in the minority on that, but she doesn't even fit in KI given the lack of aerial options you can use against her.
Not in the slightest. terrible character. Greatly disappointed TJ Combo got booted for her.

ya'll need to leave sadira alone.
I want all the old characters to return by the end of season 2. I would be pretty disappointed if we didn't get the full roster.

If you guys did not catch Max at The RunBack last night he had some fantastic Fulgore play, I can only imagine what he could do if he had more than a few hours a week to play the game.

There is absolutely no reason all of the cast from KI 1/2 would not return for Season 2. That should absolutely be the primary focus for the team. I don't think there would be a bigger slap in the face to fans of the originals than to put in more new characters and omit the remaining cast. I also agree on Sadira, her move set does not fit in with the rest of the cast and while I like her design I didn't think she should have been included in Season 1 when we weren't even going to get the entire KI 1 cast to begin with. While I am sure the team wanted to have an original character of their design, that's something you do with a new IP. If you were brought on to work on an existing IP then you are tied to that game's history, design, characters. If that wasn't something they were interested in remaining faithful to then perhaps it wasn't a game they needed to be involved with. I am going to beat a dead horse with the classic costumes argument but I think when you look at those you realize they never had a grasp of what made the originals iconic to people of my generation to begin with.

In lieu of any official Killer Cuts release, has anyone found a good rip of the soundtrack? There's a guy on YouTube called Rkosmith or something who has some stuff but it's not edited very well.
As far as new and original characters go I just want to see Riptor, Cinder, and TJ. While I've never played KI2, what I've seen of Tusk, Maya, and Kim Wu make them look pretty generic in terms of character design. What I really like about the first and current lineup is the diversity and over-the-topness of the fighters. I'd like to see IG and MS continue that trend when they inevitably add new fighters like Sadira. Make them as 90's as possible and I'll be a happy camper.

Naa, they should definitely come back. Sure they'd need some new things, and a good redesign. But they should definitely stay, especially with Tusk. Him having a giant sword could play out in many ways.
I just hate that it'll be even longer before we see a new group of characters.
