Fulgore is straight-up Fear Factory. How did I not notice that before? Is Mick Gordon accepting wedding proposals?
K not leaked but s2 early access was released early.
Oh man it's finally happening!
S2 early access was released exactly when they planned on releasing it. I'm still not getting your original point here?

Early access did actually release a day ahead of schedule, Microsoft put it up earlier than the team had planned. Nothing major though and I don't think TJ or the discount worked correctly until the actual planned launch day.
It was actually out a day and a half early. Anyways I patiently await.
It was the evening before, not a day and a half. And that has no baring on when a trailer will be released on the web.
I was talking about early access I got it on the 21st, S2 Ultra pack was evening before like you said.
ANYWAYS!

Unless Adam is trolling us we won't have it until next week before launch.
13th/14th.

Jump heavy kick is still damn good.
Utilise her web traps.
Learn her jump cancels
Poke as much as you want.
Be fast and go for mixups
Use her double jump to mess with the opponent.

And we have a tentative price! $11.49:
Though it only shows up when you search, not on the product page. Still, heck of a deal.

It 100% is, I have no idea how I missed that.
I just put in an inquiry with the higher-ups. I'll relay any responses I get. I don't handle the official eGuide, just the website articles. Rip and Tom Brady did the guide.

Thanks any good video guides? I can't find much.

I'm not sure what that link brings up for anyone else -- I get what looks like a busted HTML page without CSS -- but here's a better one below with the little preview/sample widgets:

Six more days...

Unfortunately no. All I can suggest is watch the top Killer Instinct guys on YouTube. Even then, since Season 2 changes have come into effect, everyone is pretty much re-learning their character. Not because of nerfs and buffs but mechanical changes. Sadiras webtraps for example are nowhere near as stupid or even game mechanic breaking(See free counter breaker). It's hard to say where to get into the character since new mechanics have been added.
Killer Instinct really doesn't have the dedication set towards it so guides are extremely hard to find. All I can suggest is actively talking on here and playing. Check out some top sadira players or top players in general like Grimmz, CStyle45, KI4Life and Max.
I could say how you can get some amazing setups from a heavy knock down, but since counter breakers now let your quick rise, Sadiras Oki' has now changed. The same with using her web traps, they have less trap stun and cannot be used as a free counter breaker, they now increase the KV meter pretty drastically.
Sorry if I'm not being helpful but this really is about adjusting to the changes.
7 days too long, lol.

Well it's not really even 7 days tbh. The update will probably be out monday night (since that's when most updates go out), and today's pretty much over. It's more like four and a half days lol
Well its scheduled for Wednesday and most of their updates happen the night prior.

Nice, the Microsoft guys will start streaming again after Season 2 launch.

I thought we were keeping this OT?

This one is in community so since it's for all intents and purposes a new game it would get a new thread.
Same as Ultimate MvC 3 and Ultra SF IV.

Actually yeah now that you mention it we don't really know much at all about a game coming out in a few days. That doesn't happen much these days.
The OT right would be Killer Instinct Season 2: balance changes plus Maya! We also changed some UI graphics.
I'm okay with that but I think as an outsider that seems worse than even the usual street fighter revisions.
I disagree. We know all of the S1 character changes, the UI changes, the in-game currency changes, and we know 5 of the 8 characters for S2. You've also got the release schedule for the characters and the inclusion of KI2 Classic with online play. Presumably, the only extra information we'll get from the trailer is the last few characters, and we may not even get all of those.
We do? Did someone figure out the two additional original characters?
Combo, Maya, NotaMummy, Aria, and assumedtobeCinder
I'd count that as four known characters since it could be Cinder or Riptor.
We still know its one of the two, so thats 5 known.
We don't know what stage ultras are yet...
Don't know what new modes they are adding... We know there's something coming near the end of the season that's amazing(keits suggesting).. But don't know what it is yet
We don't know what 4 characters are coming or what 6 of them bring to the table
A lot of stuff we don't really know yet

I only know two characters, unless something is confirmed by the team I can only consider it speculation.
Then you know 4.
.la1n
Member
Maybe I'm missing something super obvious and sorry for being oblivious but did we get confirmation of another two?
There' s Combo and Maya. NotaMummy guy was revealed in an official trailer, and Aria was confirmed a very long time ago.

Of course! The notamummy guy, forgot all about that. I wonder if Aria is still a go or if they are going a different direction now.
edit: KI pools, running up to Top 8 for The Fall Classic live now:

Thx
Was she confirmed playable though??
Id actually prefer if she wasnt playable..(or at least require some kind of hard to get secret unlock) and be a crazy powerful boss only type character.
