Nine new achievements. Eight of them are for finishing story mode with each character, Omen excluded of course. Last one is "Complete Season 2 Story Mode" which I assume is just beating it with all characters.

I love the image that KI's Official Twitter account put up, it really shows how diverse the KI cast is. 
Reminds me of the old group art of the S1 cast when you beat the game back then. They really should make more of these group shots like how the older KI did back in the day.

IIRC, there IS a new mural for season 2.
I think Adam even tweeted a tease of it recently? Or maybe it was a textual stream?
Edit: Yeah, it was a textual stream. He gave us two teaser images.

Yeah I'm not sure they understood what people were asking for when they wanted a female announcer unfortunately.
Lol sounds almost like A new challenger approaches except the last part.

Mine's still at 37%. :/
No idea why it's going so slow.

Posted this in the preview thread, but figured it's relevant here.
Had my 360 FightStick hooked up to my PC and started to stream my One to my PC. It read the stick perfectly. Loaded up KI and it ran well enough for me to not drop any combos.
This all becomes moot when KI comes out for PC next year, but for now it's nice.
Yes, I'm sure there is lag, no it wasn't enough to bother me.

man some of the writing in this story mode...lol
My download was fucked also, took 4 fucking hours.
Anywho I just beat the story w TJ, nothing spectactular but it gets the job done, cool little storyboard loading screens between matches and intro and ending is narrated. Aria even just on Hard was really challenging.
I tried out Aria as an announcer, she sounds really cool in certain samples but strangely off in others.

Update finally finished.
Story mode is alright. Maybe a bit more bare bones than I had anticipated but it's certainly an improvement over season 1.
ARIA as an announcer is pretty terrible though in my opinion.

Aw I was hoping the stage finisher camera angle for the Season 2 finale trailer was what they had actually changed the finisher to. Unfortunately it's still the same one that takes way too long. They should really look into doing something more akin to the finale trailer, looked great, no goofy arm swinging, over quickly.
I actually like all of Aria's retro stuff except for the top hat. The default retro looks good in game.

So no hidden ending like beating Shago in S1?

For Hisako, what exactly does it mean by "catch counter"?
Catch counter is another name for counter, given that name since counter could also be confused with counter hit. I got the piece by doing counters nothing special with them.

Member
Oh alright, for some reason I was thinking it meant counter enemies while they were in the air which seemed a bit ridiculous. Thanks for the clarification.

The amount of teases and blatant references to season 3 in the story is insane. Kan-Ra is probably the most blatant.
Seems like season 3 is going to be all about Gargos.
Poker Face
Member
Looked more like the Tiger Spirit to me. Like Jago's thing..but then again I think DH said that the tiger spirit was actually Gargos all along lol
So far I've done TJs, Mayas, and Kan-Ras. Kan-Ra is my favorite so far.
In reference to your spoiler tag, that's how it's always been.

I've only seen TJ's and Maya's story. From Maya, it's getting me excited for the future of Season 3.

It's still the wrong cinder character art in your player profile card list -_______-
Yeah I hate it. She's to subdued. I beat story mode with Aganos 99% sure Eagle will he in S3.

That would be pretty sick. The character fits into the story and it's a blank slate more or less they can work with.
I've only finished TJ's story mode so far. I do like the way the story mode plays out now, they did a good job despite limited budget. Would have preferred Max doing the voice overs for cinematics, the guy they have sounds bored.

Yea I remember people complaining about Max, but he sounded better than whoever did the final.

Oh man, I finally saw every story bit from the characters. I love how they all go together. And it has me even more hyped for Season 3.

If we do get a season 3 I hope the boss feels like a boss. ARIA is alright, but she just feels like a regular character with an extra lifebar.

Should be in the options once you download the story mode update. If it's not there then I'm not sure what the issue is.
Yah Max would have been much better as a narrator, old one lacks a punch.
I don't know about Eagle, an older brother of Chief Thunder makes me feel like it would be very similar designs and Tusk also might tread similar ground to both. Then again Orchid and Jago are also siblings.
