Thank Christ.

My Sabrewulf shadow is apparently 0-3. So if anyone wants some free shadow points, challenge GT: SeventhGear. Also if you have any feedback on what it was like to play, that would be really interesting.

Oh, I was saying that because I don't have an XB1. :< Once I go in, I'm going to get wrecked, at least I think so. Lol
That was a pretty obvious fake for many reasons. :x

Okay Shadow Mode is pretty damn cool, it really was like fighting against a weird version of myself even though I can kick it's ass 9 outta 10 times. Few things different was I don't waste a Shadow Meter on a already down opponent and it doesn't change tactics on different things. But that's the cool part since it learns and you see how often you use this and that and it makes you wanna try and improve yourself. Also the Shadow Survival and Challenge are pretty fun too and a nice change from just the regular ones.
And some stages look kinda different....can't really explain it.

Yah it's pretty fun to fight I think it can have some improvements.
Stages are glitches, if Thunder's looks like a brown desert reset your Xbox.
For those interested there's the whole TOP 8 from last week COMBOBREAKER tourney in the Team Spooky YouTube cannel:

Audio mix still needs some work, Orchid's intro for example is still barely audible unless you crank voice to 100 (standard television speakers.)
Yes you did!

Wait..what?
They're not adding the other season 2 characters to shadow mode this season?
That would be...really stupid.

I read it wrong, my bad. Thought he meant about season 1 characters getting a more cinematic story mode for some reason.
Yes & sometime in the future. Check out the latest text steam.
They are adding other characters to shadow mode, it is just that other characters were not ready for this update. I assume we get more of them when the story mode launches.
I have realised that one of the best things about shadow mode is the fact that it makes losing online matches more bearable. Even if you lose a close matchup, you still get to feed that shadow data into your shadow in order to make it better.
I feel like I am playing two different games at the same time. There is the fighting game in which I try to become better myself, and the other one is a weird Tamagotchi/fighting game/Mario Kart ghost mode hybrid.
That feel when your brain switches on during the second round.

Honestly really like playing Hisako. Once you get rolling, feeling like you have so much control is fantastic.
I seriously think Shadow Mode is amazing. It's like a combination of a training tool and a baby raising/virtual pet type game. Seriously think it's sick as hell. I think playing my shadow/trying to make it better has massively improved my play. It'
s just fun in general playing against other shadows too. It can almost, almost feel like a real game.

I may not be a good KI player but I love watching people play KI. It's just so much fun.
I bought Hisako and her retro costume cos I love the char so much, but I'm not that good with her. She's a bit hard to use.
Just found out that I like Sadira(she is free this week), her style is just like how I like to play my fighting games. But will wait for a sale to get the complete edition.
Discount for those that bought the Combo Breaker Disc

The shadow stuff is rad.
I fought Jeff Gerstmann's Jago shadow, it was fun.
It was a nail biting 3 matches, but the third match I had against him was nuts. Haha.

Did you...turn the music off?
DO YOU HAVE NO SOUL?
Edit: Oh it randomly kicked in half way through.
I can confirm your soul is still intact.

After a few days of playing around in Shadow Mode, Iron Galaxy really hit it out of the park imo. I was kinda skeptical during the first mention of it a few months ago but it just works like it says it does. Even though you are a fighting an CPU, the tactics, combos, etc just feels WAYYYY better than fighting regular CPUs and it actually feels like fighting someone. I'm gonna see if it can learn tactics against other characters though since I've just been trying to just improve it here and there. Good Job Iron Galaxy, I hope they can add more cool modes like this or even expand Shadow Mode in the future. KI keeps growing into a better package each time. 
Wow that fight was by a hair and also I didn't know Jeff played KI lol. Kinda weird that the music doesn't kick in until the 2nd Round.

Yeah, not sure why the sound is bugged like that. Oh well!
I dont think Jeff plays it much, he just created the Shadow on UPF, and I wanted to see how I would fair against it.

Hey,
I was wondering I'm not a pro or anything when it comes to fighting games, but for some reason I always enjoy them. I didn't really spend much time with KI in the past, but now for some reason I couldn't resist and bought season two. Now The menu everything is so new, to me this is like a completely new game. Last I played was like a year ago something. Time to get to tutorial again...

Now that Season 2 has ended, the game feels a lot more complete than it did a year ago so we hope you enjoy it. All the Season 2 characters add a lot of variety to the game so it's best to try them all! Also try Shadow Mode if you like any thing similar to a pet simulator in the form of a fighting game.

Thanks. For some reason I'm stuck with Sadira now. I really enjoy her movese, but I'm planning on checking out every character.
Thanks. I'm going to take a look at this.

So I just beat the #1 player on the leaderboards.
I think it might be time to change how this works because I'm really not that good at KI lol.

I like the artwork for the loading screens and it's a welcome addition to have intro, rival, and ending cut scenes. I think with that and the new Shadow mode there is substantial single player content available to players as well.
I'll probably never complete the mural if a lot of the third requirements are difficult unfortunately

That would be cool, and it's in line with the statement would see story mode earlier in the month than we did character releases. I wonder if it will follow the character release type schedule with ultra packs updating first or if this will be a universal update? I see no reason it wouldn't be universal.

I wouldn't think we'd hear any Season 3 news until EVO at the earliest. Even then I wouldn't think they'd have anything substantial to show since I am sure the team has been busy finishing Season 2.
I'd love to be wrong though. Either way I am sure they want to continue the momentum with the game and have Season 3 start this year.

Yah my bad, I forgot that the conference is before the actual opening, so it seems way more plausible now.
Especially when you consider this was mostly made by Max, who wouldn't really have much knowledge about KI patch times so it being the release date seems a bit off.
I'm convinced
Well... it depends entirely on if they launched right into making a new character right away or not.
If they were already working on it before hand, they'd be able to show off a new character by the 15th of june.
Hell... maybe they'll do something like the season 2 launch trailer but with no additional footage.
Or maybe they'll just outright announce season 3 without a trailer... just give an outline, pump the games tires a bit, announce a PC port and weeee, onto the next thing.
