soundtrack is sooo good
As a fightpad player the Dpad in this game doesn't feel good to me. So instead I am using the analog stick which to my surprise I'm very effective with.
Either the game was lagging for PL or he's just not very good at KI yet. Not a very solid Jago either way.
You know, I get that novice players want to be able to learn the game as easily as possible, but I think this is just asking for too much. The Dojo mode teaches you everything you need to know to be good at this game. If you can't take what you learn there, go into Practice mode and utilize that stuff with a different character... I don't know. Just seems like people don't want to put in ANY effort of their own.
online fights are awesome. utterly lag free. but am i the only one that has difficulty finding matches? most times i select ranked or exhibition, i sit at a search screen for a minute or so before it kicks me back to the menu. it takes several tries to find an opponent if i'm able to find one at all.
Seems to be something with the NAT settings. I've had no issues at all.
If you have an Xbox One, look through my videos if you want to see a decent Sabrewulf. I would upload some matches to YT, but I can't be bothered to hook up my Kinect, and you can't use Upload Studio without a Kinect hooked up (one of my many complaints about the X1).
The netcode is definitely the best of any fighting game to date, but it's not flawless. The more I play, the more I realize the minor flaws. It's super difficult to block empty jump lows, or tech empty jump throws. It can also be difficult to punish when you only have 1-2 frames to do it.
I strongly believe Glacius needs to be nerfed. At the very least, he needs his "broken" aspects to be fixed. Essentially, he shouldn't get free Counter Breakers from full screen with ZERO risk. That breaks a very big component of the game system.
I'd personally like to see the delayed Hail removed as well, but I think it's unlikely Glacius will get any real nerfs. Hopefully Spinal is anti-Glacius because it's ridiculously frustrating fighting even novice Glacius player. I still beat most players who aren't really, really good, but it's not an easy fight... which is ridiculous IMO.
Sadira likes being "Ontop"

you invited me? Lol
I agree about Practice Mode for using other characters as it all applies from what you learn from the Dojo.
If you're a Wulf player then you will consistently have issues with Glacius as he can fight from long range and all you got as the Wulf/Dog is to be in someones face at all times. I like this, and I feel Glacius is fine just where he is at.
I thought I did, you were watching Netflix last night no? on xbox.com it says the FR is still pending though.
The game being off sync caused DSP's first throw to hit on his side, which just threw everything out of whack.
Working as intended, Killer Instinct's netcode makes everyone feel like a good player.
I'm worried about the dojo achievements too.
I had done quite a few before purchasing the game, but when I purchased, the achievement didn't pop. I has to basically start again.
I think I'm up to 19 or 20. Worried about the final one now.

I finally got to play this from a friends, and we played for 6 hours straight. Finally used everyone to see who else I would enjoy besides Thunder and Sadira.
It was just glorious, and too much fun. I did my first double ultra with Sabrewulf.
If only I had more time. D:

When you buy the $40 version, are the extra stuff separated and need to be installed separately or does it all download and install together?
KI Arcade is a separate game. All other stuff is already in the game.

Thank you friend.
I can't even count on my phalanges the number of times that neat little tidbits like this have given me piloerection all over my body.
Double Helix really have nocked it out of the park with KI so far in my opinion.
I don't even have an XB1 yet, but this game is a blast just to watch on YouTube.
I do have a question though: sometimes the announcer will say "Ultra Combo!" and sometimes just "Ultra!" after performing one. He actually does that will other combos as well. I wonder what causes this difference?

It is related to dong style.
Now my Nemesis is Sadira. All she does is sit back and spam constantly with web. Can't get in on her because if you touches you it's over.
And why am I fighting the same dude 4 times in a row.
Wait wait wait. I am a rank 4, and get paired to a 12. I lose and I lose all my 4 points? Bro-bro-broken system.
Oh well, off to bed. But at least I got this gem. He was breaking everything, so I did the next best thing: http://sdrv.ms/1b9YOPP

Is Jago's flying kick move safe? People have been spamming that against me and I cannot find a proper followup with Thunder.

ULTRA COMBOO! - is when you perform one ultra.
ULTRAAA! - is when you perform a second one
within that combo, by instinct cancelling the first to continue on.
Or maybe when you do a crap load of hits.. lol.

It feels like 1 out of 50 matches are Glacius.
Man, I got mud-stomped last night by some guy playing as Glacius on Live. I could barely get a hit on this guy, he ended up finishing me with like a 74 hit Ultra (and im not bad, i won most of my matches last night)! Glacius is one beast of a character for someone who knows what there doing with him.
BTW, have DH announced a date when they are releasing Spinal this month? Also, whats going on with being able to switch to the original announcer? I bought the $40 package and the announcer option is still not accessible to me. I LOVE the new one, but it would be cool to hear the old announcer for nostalgia purposes, and just to switch it up every now and then.

I don't own KI yet, but I may be able to give some advice.
Jago's wind kick(the flying kick) is safe, but it doesn't leave him with frame advantage. Light leaves him at -2, medium leaves him at -3, heavy leaves him at -5.
You're using Thunder? After blocking a wind kick, maybe try for a standing light punch into his command throw? At -2/-3 the Jago might be able to jump in response to anything you try after blockstun, but it's an option. A standing light punch into his command throw will be a tick throw, whether it's on block or hit. You could also try muscling through it with Thunder's shadow Triplax, since it has one hit of super armor, or invuln. through it with shadow Sammamish, but both will require meter of course. Regular Sammamish might work as an answer, but I don't know if it has invuln. frames.
If the Jago is using wind kick as a means of getting in from distance, you could try neutral jumping/jumping back and punishing him with a jumping attack as you approach the ground. I've heard players suggest this as a general anti-wind kick strategy, regardless of character.
Hopefully these give you some answers to that pesky ninja and his knife.
Sweet, will get mine this week I hope.

I'm still having trouble doing forward > down > forward/down, both with analogue stick and d-pad.

Which announcer is which? I unlocked the new announcer and I don't know which is which? Can someone explain the difference?

Mike is the new announcer, which is default. Chris the old announcer and is the same guy from the older games.
The Ultra part was already answered for you, but with regular combos if he doesnt say Combo at the end, then you didn't finish the combo with an ender, and you lost most of your damage.
