Weird... it was lag free on my end :0
Really? lol... I mean I had you do a shadow counter on normal combos and stuff, was really weird - glad we pulled off one Spinal Ultra
Max playing ranked ... against CDJr

Spinal plays very different, but kinda like Jago if he has skulls ... wish he would be more defensive :/

Seems Max is having difficulty with the ranking system, it doesn't seem to be pairing with people of lower ranks when it doesn't find someone at the same rank. I have been having the same issue, to make matters worse it makes it twice as long to find any match at all. I have also experienced the freezing up on Jago's stage and few other random glitches. A lot of matches are still demonstrating significant lag / desync spikes vs the original release. I hope DH is going into double time to get it fixed as soon as possible.
Have not had the issue of being put into jail because of my opponents disconnect but I have also been fortunate enough not to have any matches where the player has quit / disconnected...yet.

After beating an opponent with Spinal, I love running past their body and just running away forever.
Spinal Derp Run FTW!

Have they added the option to upgrade to the ultra edition yet? Still stuck on the $20 version.

The only aesthetic issues I am having with the new classic costumes is that, along with Jago and Orchid, Glacius' classic should have been KI 1 inspired. It's the superior design to begin with but it's also that the KI 2 style classic they have gone with has some slight proportion issues. The head is also slightly off as others have noted, needs thinning down from the profile perspective. It is definitely a step in the right direction if they make some minor adjustments to it. It does not look like a cohesive face / head, it looks like an elongated head with the face as more of a mask he is wearing. Pretty silly if you pay attention to it.
Sabrewulf didn't fair quite as well. When in match it looks pretty decent. We know DH isn't particularly great at modeling hair and it shows ten fold on the new classic alt for Sabrewulf. it looks pretty terrible / rushed like Orchid's classic. I wasn't a huge fan of Sabre's original design to begin with but it would have been nice to see a little more effort put into it.
Speaking of Orchid, it seems her classic finally had some tweaks done to it. Good effort and it does look much better than it did before. Happy to see that as I like the character and after seeing what they did with Jago's classic it just felt cheap. What this says to me is they are willing to go back and tweak any of the classic designs or original designs if they feel like something can be done to improve it. That is great news and something we very rarely see from a developer.
I finally was able to really spend some serious time with the game after work so obviously my impressions have changed from when I was only able to browse screenshots on mobile

Is there a picture for this?
Unlocked the full game today after I finally got an ultra in Dojo. Not going to be competent enough to play against other people for a while but I actually really like practicing to get better in this game. Gotta give credit to LeMaximilian too. Your genuine love for this game and the franchise as a whole is very apparent in your videos and it's because of that fact that I am now a fan of Killer Instinct. You and Benny keep up the good work now, you hear? Also, Fulgore.

Is there going to be any Shadow Jago love? Has there been any word for costumes for Shadow Jago?
There must have been 2 combo breakers in there, that's crazy!

Baby steps..
Avatars!
Sadira (already taken by someone)
And Jago
(Shadow Jago coming as well soon!)
Max was using the Sadira one in his latest video for a thumbnail. Congrats, they look great.
Agreed.

So, an interesting thing can happen in Spinal CPU vs Spinal CPU matches:

He - if you are looking for a friendly match or two with a European - add me.
I'm not to good and play with Sadira, Jago & Orchid.

He looks like an anorexic rat.
Edit:
Cant help but think of this
What movie was that from? It's driving me nuts that I can't remember.
Also judging from comment on the last stream I am not sure I am excited for Cinder anymore. They more or less trashed his old design meaning they are probably going to pull a Glacius on him and ruin the character for me.
The only thing I didn't like about the Cinder mention was "He was a man in a fire suit!" ... well, he was living flames. Though that's an accurate description of how model; no details, just a generic male silhouette with fire texture attached.
I hope they still keep him as "living energy" rather than try and make him a man / flame hybrid. No matter how much they change him, his classic will be close enough to his traditional look anyway. I like the fact they seem to stress that his movement is harmful to others... I want a combo trait where he leaves Potential-damage-building burns on the opponent after combos. Due to this, he has no direct damage ender.
Spinal continues to be kinda complex and confusing; I have a much easier time dealing with a Spinal as Thunder, than I do with Spinal himself. Dives and slides aren't safe at all, but Spinal's own crappy pokes make it so I walk into punishment trying to punish a fellow Spinal, rather than gain the advantage.
I really love the difference in speed on his Spectral Doubles. I think I'm one of the only people USING them ATM, so I haven't been able to practice counting them much, people just mash out combos like any other chara. It's a good way to get a double lockout / counter breaker, since heavy Spectral takes forever and a day to come out.
I'm pleasantly surprised he can land crouch HP after his heavy Searing Skull ender. Even though it's a resource ender, in this way, it sets one up for easy curse application.
I swear his EX spectral sword is delivered with a scream of "it'ssss BAAACONNNNNN!", which has been good fun.
I've encountered the ultra sound glitch / distortion much less than before his patch. Beforhand, it happened anytime Thunder did an ultra in a corner, basically. Now I've heard 1 massive explosion when Jago did an ultra on the right side of Spinal's stage, and that's about it.
I've bumped into a low amount of glitches since getting him, but I got more Kinect detected "A sign in has changed, returning to chara select screen", which led me to just disable Kinect Sign-in. That might be more the XB1's fault, but after the save deletion stuff I had happen, it's worrisome to see.
Oh, and of all the things I notice about Spinal's stage music... it's the obvious throwbacks to his KI1 theme that really get my attention. That and the chants. I love listening to it, but I haven't gotten hooked on it like Thunders.

Thanks for the vid. Those spectral manuals throw the timing waaaaay off on combo breakers.
