Yep, when you play as the Wulf/Dog you should stay on your opponent at all times. Wulf isn't a distance character so you shouldn't stay away, Wulf is a rabid animal so you should play like one.

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but I've been having a pretty major problem since the update. Anytime I pick Sadira, the game crashes right before the characters load for the fight. Anyone else experience this?
I figure redownloading the game is the logical fix but I don't want to lose all my unlocks.

Probably players "de-syncing" (aka: rage quitting ahahah)
I wish
but this happens offline too. Also, just realized I can't redownload the game due to how the X1 works. Not really sure what to do...BananasWithGuns

I wish
Should be able to. Go to My Games & Apps, press menu on Killer Instinct and you should have the option to uninstall. Then just find it again on the store and redownload.
you don't need to find it on the store again, it will show up on the far right of My Games & Apps with an option to reinstall
it will be greyed out with a cloud icon to indicate its purchased but not installed

DH better not do any nerfs until a year has passed and they release all the characters. A lot of you guys need to think of ways to counter the problem then get rid of it.So what if you have to work harder. There are pros and cons to everything. Besides there is no such thing as a truly balanced fighter.
Let the e game mature first. There is nothing game breaking with any of the characters so let's go in the lab and see what we can do.

Yup, I agree. It WAY too early for nerfs to start.
Max posted a video showing the how the classic music shows up when the characters are idle.

Soooooooooo damn good.
Edit: Just saw AcidGlow put a similar video. Man these remixed themes are so good it kinda makes me want an option to just use them as the regular music, who knows maybe theyll patch that in.

So unlocking the old stage music allows you to hear it in training mode and it puts a transparent image of the old background on the training stage's back wall. This background NEEDS to find its way into online matches!

The music is so good, all around! Does anyone know if there is a place to download the character select music, would love to have it as my ringtone. I don't own an XboxOne, and can't seem to find it anywhere online, (outside of the teaser that was released months ago).
Back to listening!

Goddamn they need to fix the inviting friends to a private exhibition match. Took me 20 minutes to get my friend into the lobby. And I'm not even sure what we did differently to get it to work.
And you can't view recent players you've played against??? Why would they take out features that already existed on the 360??

No Mercy's? They're not in. May be added in the future.

LTTP and don't know if it has already been mentioned, but is KI Classic out yet? Haven't seen any screens from it yet.
I've had it since launch. It's in your games and apps to download if you bought the $40 pack, IIRC.
Tiger Fury. It's an Anti air for a reason dood
I think it must be, in the store last night it was listed as the top selling game.
Yeah, it comes with the $40 edition. It's listed in My Games and Apps as Killer Instinct Classic.
Get in line! Mick told me that when he first met his wife on their first date he brought her to his place and played the killer cuts CD lol.
Who's doing that this time around?

You and me both, man. I wonder why there's such a big hold-up. As much as I'd love a physical disc and case, I'd also accept it being delivered via iTunes, Amazon Music or anything else of that ilk. I just want it in my music collection.
The only character who can do a Counter Breaker from a distance is Glacius, so the issue is reserved to him and him alone. Also, Ice Lance is a long-range Manual for Glacius.
I get that he should own at range, but it's too easy for him to get you back out to range once you get in. That's my issue. I fight and fight and fight to get in, then one throw, Combo Breaker, or well-timed Puddle Punch and I'm right back out.
The low sweep goes through the Wind Kick as well if you time it properly. You need to just move in, then start the Run and wait to execute the slide until you see Jago twitch. If he doesn't twitch, use the Running Uppercut.
Maybe I'll upload some of my Jago matches. I do not fear Jago at all when playing as Sabrewulf.
Not really. At full screen you can't move in much. The recovery on a missed Counter Breaker can't be more than 7-10 frames. That's not much time at all.
When I play Thunder, I do the battery Ender almost exclusively. There's no reason not to unless you have full meter... in which case you should be using meter in the combo. There are exceptions, especially if you want a corner combo, but I tend to want Instinct to be active when I do the wall splat Ender.
Attack. Normal CotE can be interrupted pretty easily in almost any situation.
If I have time to land a single hit, I have time to start a combo.
Also, Glacius doesn't have quite the variety of chaining normals at close range, but he still has some. He can frame trap just like most (all?) of the other characters.
The HP are fireball is very risky to use. If the opponent has meter it's an easy Shadow Counter. If not, after the kick off you can generally anti-air before she has a chance to attack. At worst, I've traded with the dive kick, but that was more because I was late (yay controller issues) than anything else.
I need all 8 buttons since I use the x3 buttons for Shadows/Ultra. On a stick this wouldn't be a issue, but on a pad I don't have much of a choice.
His normals are the same speed as everyone else. The fastest is i4, the slowest is i11.
I disagree. You need to space against Jago, Sadira, Thunder, Sabrewulf and Orchid. If you're constantly in their face you're taking more risks than you need to. I find giving them some room they tend to make errors giving me easy punishes. After a knockdown, I go off until I feel the need to give them room again.
Your saves are stored in the cloud. You won't lose anything.
A year is far too long. It doesn't take a year to develop a solid metagame. If need be, there should be a balancing patch around Evo. Before Evo is it's bad, after Evo if it's minor stuff.
Also, the full-screen, risk-free Counter Breakers are game-breaking.
No...

I used to main Orchid in KI and KI2, and I've actually found that I have trouble stringing together combos with her. The timing on Flick-Flack just feels off. I'm not saying it's wrong, just saying it's not clicking for me.

Do you need to have 150 IQ to perform ultra combo? I sure suck
How do you guys remember all the buttons to press?

Just play it by ear. If you fall back on the same combo repeatedly you'll get broken.
Yeah the combos and randomly for me, which is frustrating. Not to mention that I always mix up her specials somehow, always try QCB punch... dunno why.
I just came here to post this.
I preordered from Futureshop the first day it was available and they still haven't shipped it.
Walked into Best Buy today and they had 15 sticks just sitting there. Apparently they got them last Thursday.
Loving it so far but holy sh*t, the art is super awful. It looks like it was printed on the last legs of an ink cartridge or something. I also had to remove the plexi and smooth it out to get rid of some bubbles. Has anyone made a template yet?

UGH! What a pain in the ass this has been to try and get my missing Pins!
Contact MS Store service -> they think I'm talking about the digital code (I don't realize this) -> get transferred to XBOX service and they can't help - Total Call time around 40 minutes
Contact MS Store service -> wait 2 hours for call back -> they don't have a reference of earlier call -> try to explain situation again -> keep getting asked if I want to buy the item again then told repeatedly that the Ultimate edition is sold out and that's why I didn't get the pins -> eventually told they can't help me and I have to await an email from the escalation department to try and help me -> Total Call time around 45 minutes
If anyone has any other insight who to contact outside of the MS Store number or Xbox support it please let me know. Hopefully they actually send me the damn email.
/RANT
Outside of that LOVE THE GAME!
Was lucky enough to walk into Gamestop asking when they would have more Xbox and a shipment just arrived!
Then get home and my Ultimate Pin edition is waiting for ( minus the PINS!!)
Spent about 3 hours playing last night, only got through the first 10 trials since I spent lots of time just trying out different combos instead of doing what the lesson was teaching.
For linkers I notice that I actually have to work to only tap the button and NOT pull off a heavy linker each time. Maybe that will be better when my stick arrives.
I was getting better at the end and was using mostly light autos so maybe linkers are easier off of the slower autos
Overall using the Dpad has been fine, I only miss a QCF every once in a while, but only from the left side, probably just my thumbs.
Can't wait to get home and play some more tonight!
Yes, its normal.
Also... "shipped" for a lot of retailers tends to mean "we created a label!"
