Oh god :lol
In terms of matches this is literally like all the SF4 matches at evo except they need to be played on one single console.
2000 matches with every character
my body was never ready for that.
Thing is... you're almost bound to do that in a year... then another 8 characters come out lol
2000/char isn't for the achievement hoarder...
Wrong he did a fucking amazing job. He told me when they approached him that this soundtrack would be a tribute to Beanland and Noregate.
This music teaser is missing Jago's theme right? Man Orchid's theme is dope!!!!
2000 with my main is easy stuff but holy shit, they cray

MY EARS!!!!!! So fucking goooooooooooo
So they want you to play 12000 matches overall to truly ace the achievements.
And, y'know, future characters are coming out, too.
Maybe if they mean "Play 2000 matches containing these characters", it'd make some sense... since it also means the opponent could count as a play, and if you both play mirrors, you give each other 2 plays.
But otherwise... that's just... offputting. People could spend WEEKS grinding characters they don't even like to try and get 2000 wins. It actually goes against he fun of trying everyone on the cast out freely.
The KI 1 achievements look much more bearable. A good, decent list, and putting it to 40 matches per character is still a small bit nuts, but not bad as fast as rounds go. I guess I'll be earning Cheevos in that for years, lol. I doubt I'm going to play 500 or so matches of original KI, evenly divided between each character anytime soon.

It's 2000 played matches though, not wins (thank god)
For the grinders I'm sure you can turn it very easy, highest damage and pump these out quick.

Isn't belts a CEO thing? I wonder how Jebailey feels about this.

Sadira's music was so sludge-like, mucky, and dark that I felt dirty afterwards.
Wonderful.
Wonderful.

oh ok lol nevermind
Ugh, now you just reminded me of how people handled the matches played achievements in KoF XII: Tape down a button, and let the character get into a match. Since it only counted towards "playing" in games, and not "winning", people would just get matches up that way.
I hate "grind" style achievements in online MP games. Having just enough to make the community try out each character is good. Having so many that people will potentially lose interest multiple times over, before reaching such achievements with 1 or 2 characters? Just encourages "boosters" and the like.
Nope, got it from major nelson... the belt will be there for the wearing
Hopefully they add danger moves/ultimate combos and stage finishers. I still hear fans asking about them.

I can also answer any questions now that embargo has lifted.

great read dude!
Killer Instinct is on par with KZ on Metacritic
i see people smashing their heads against a wall lmao
i havent checked it yet, i'am going to soon, but have you tried manuals? Are they hard to perform constantly? I mean this game has no p-linking so you'll have to get the timings perfectly.
Likely. One of the builds had the option in the menu, so its likely they couldn't finish it in time.
They have said stuff about doing a quarter mode and KP betting in the future, so it will be in eventually.

I had just checked the pricing for the mad catz xbox one fightstick...
...too rich for my blood at the moment. So then, I guess I get to see how well it plays on the regular controller.

With the character's being pretty unique and distinctive, are there any obvious lopsided matchups atm?
Is Sadira annoying to fight against?

can't developers add achievements whenever they like now? Doesn't make sense to have the achievements at launch if the characters aren't.
Achievements will be added like they are with dlc: it'll come with the content.

yes but the game already has 1000 points. it will either be 0 point achievements or achievements that make the game have 1200 or something. whatever it is that sucks. since they already announced spinal and fulgore the achievements for them should just be in the original 1000
Dr.dogg does the game implement this smart match making feature?
Second question, is there any parameters when searching for a match? Can I prioritize connection speed over finding similar skill level opponents, for example? Or is multiplayer just pick rank or not and go? No real options to tweak or adjust.
Third, how stable is the snap feature? Or did you use it at all while playing KI?
Thanks.

I remember him being a combo breaking machine, so I can't foresee it being a simple feat; especially if there's no way to adjust difficulty.
"Like the visuals, the music and sounds are largely forgettable, with the exception of "C-c-c-c-combo Breaker!" which you will hear more and more frequently as you get better at the game."
