Niiice! Hopefully see some gameplay soon for it! I miss the white hair on her. Wonder what the accessories will be.
Edit: Somehow I missed the link. Lol.
Edit 2: They did something to her voice.

Amazing how they managed to ruin it from the previous tease.
The tease was already much worse than the concept in the book.. so I am not surprised.

To be fair, maybe the tease was an alternate color from the start.
But it's still better.

Sadira being my main... I dig the costume but I hope there's an accessory that gives her better hair.

I had always assumed it was coming out this year given they'll be at both E3+Evo, but it's always nice for more confirmation.
I don't think so. I got 60 general fight titles and no achievement unlocked for it. My ranked wins aren't counting for Saberwulf and Thunder so I'll likely never get those achievements anytime soon.
- A projectile is not a good wake-up option, especially given that it's not invincible when it becomes active. It's way too easy to go through it on reaction.
- Teleports do not work as most characters have at least one OS to punish it.
- Shadow Sword and Bonecrusher you're guessing that the opponent will go for a specific attack, which is a huge gamble.
In terms of the Sabre/Glacius comparison, I wasn't making a direct comparison that Sadira has invincibility like Glacius. The comparison was that people think Sabrewulf has it easy once he gets in, when in reality it's harder for Sabre up close against Glacius than it is against any other character in the game.

Incredible. This seems to be the hardest fight Max ever had. Well done Max!
You're only discrediting his options because you're thinking you know how Spinal will react on wake up 100% of the time. He has options, but it doesn't mean you will 100% always beat out his options. This is a game of chess. It is not straight forward at all.
If you cannot react to your opponent and are just throwing out special/shadow moves on wake up because you can, you're (not you specifically) the kind of opponent that Spinal destroys with fireball set ups, meatys, and frame traps. At the same time, if Spinal is just doing things on wake up without actually being aware of his options, he's also a bad Spinal.
Yes, Shadow Searing Skull will lose to a lot of things on wake up, but it destroys meatys. Meatys are typically medium or heavy attacks. Easier to react to.
Teleports, as I said before, work well against jump ins. Even if you have an OS, your OS does not auto correct for where Spinal where end up. You are guessing on your OS. Teleports are also all Shadow cancellable. If I do a Light teleport to gain distance, I can shoot out a Shadow Searing to make sure you don't advance. Of course, you can just say you will Shadow Wind Kick through it. That's my fault for not paying attention to meter then. But it is still an option when opponents don't have meter or a way around fireballs.

So stream tonight, but probably no new info? Seems like they're already knee deep into season 2 (yay)
Bring Doom.
Glad they're already working on S2. I've been thinking about how the other KI1 characters could look in S2 and I'm stumped. Riptor was basically a Spielberg velociraptor, Cinder was the Human Torch, and TJ was Mike Tyson minus the tattoo. TJ had an eye patch in KI2 and still has his cybernetic arms. Maybe in S2 his arms will be a little ripped up to wear you can see some of the circuitry. Will Cinder look like a guy wearing super tight neon orange skin suit or walking, talking flame with arms and legs? Will Riptor be more like a dinosaur, komodo dragon, or crocodile? Maybe she'll have frills like the dilophosaurus from Jurassic Park?

Bring in Max, he always makes for a great stream! I expect we won't get a ton of information on the streams going forward until after E3. Hopefully after that we will get to see new progress on Season 2 the way they did with Season 1. Those were always a lot of fun to look forward to and watch.
And the same thing could be said about Sadira's wake-up options...
This conversation is really only about playing at the highest level. In that regard, there's no reason to meaty Spinal on wake-up because a throw beats almost all of his options. You either throw, or you bait out whatever you think Spinal will do to avoid a throw.
I almost don't care what Combo looks like (no lipstick please), but if Combo is not a frame-trap heavy, in-fighter... I will be very disappointed. He also better have back > forward and down > up notations instead of QCF and DP. If this isn't the case, I may just stop playing. I still don't have a main and Combo is pretty much my last hope. No reason Jago and Fulgore should have more frame traps than Combo.

Awesome! I look forward to this Stream! Max will be there. ^^
I want them to give him a Karakusa-style headbutt.
Amen. Combo is the one character I've been waiting for since KI3 was announced. Keep him a back>forward character, keep him a BOXER, and no MMA bullshit pls.

Love it XD
That's pretty cool. Glad the stream is still on then.
Also, Shogun Spinal anyone? (Uploading the video at the moment)
Also also, fuck the rage quitters. So many online. Denying me my win. >: (
Edit: Shogun Spinal
(Ignore the crappy gameplay, was actually talking the opponent).

That's it. Spinal's my favorite KI character.

Awesooooome. Holy Shit. That's a great accessory set.
Edit: I wonder what the Sword/Shield look like.

What do you guys think we'll see for the trailer at E3?
Obviously we'd get some new characters shown for the start of Season 2. TJ Combo, and Riptor are for sure, in my opinion. I think Kim Wu would be shown for another female rep that they have spoken up on.
I expect Cinder to be shown later down the road. They'd have to get him to just right with the lighting and what-not. He'll surely surprise us.
Hopefully more features added in, even more characters for the dojo.

I hope they show a trailer for S2 during the main conference. Fade out the lights, a female singer slowly sings the chorus of K.I. Feeling, screen comes on with short jump cuts of various characters from S1, fade out the lights again, KI Announcer yells "Coming to your home in 2014, only on Xbox One!", "Riptor!" - show clip of Riptor, "Cinder!" - show clip of Cinder, "TJ Combo!" - show clip of TJ doing an Ultra. Announcer yells the long Ultraaaaaa!, "Killer Instinct, Season 2!". Phil struts his way back on stage and then Max does this again.
Basically a repeat of last year. Dojo mode for all characters would make me very happy.
I thought you still get the win? Or they just take a loss I guess?

No idea. Same with Fulgore. I assume it'll be out soon. Both Sadira and Fulgores costume are hidden in the game and confirmed.

If that all comes true and plays out exactly as you said, it's confirmed that you work for Double Helix. OMG BUKTOOTH IS THAT YOU!?
Your rank stays the same
I need to montage those rage quits >: (

it's in the store now
honest hippo used to be in charged and was great, but I believe he got a new position so someone else is/has taken over.
You might have luck posting in the official Xbox forums in the KI forum, but I'm not sure :/

hmm so I was watching one of max's old videos, and characters used to look at the opponent (if opponent was jumping, the character would move their head up and look at them)
wonder why they got rid of it.
(example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA2tXVjlQzs)
congrats! first ultra against someone online is sooo satisfying.

I got my first Ultra on an online opponent! I've graduated from Noob of Noobs to Noob, First Class!
I knew spending all that time fighting against the CPU would pay off eventually. Got it with Shogun Spinal too.
It's so satisfying pulling them off, also doing extra shadow moves at the end.
yeah that was great!! hilarious too
It was. I yelled Xbox Record That and the other guy said, "Well someone's freakin' proud of themselves". It was definitely my own personal Guile's Theme Goes with Everything moment.
I found some really cool KI sprites on DeviantArt the other day. I call dibs on Spinal.
