The screens look nice, that's definitely the PC version. Just got home from work about an hour ago and I can't wait for the Arbiter stream later today. He seems to have a lot going on UI wise from what I saw in the videos and I wanna see all the details.
There's a stage ultra for the Halo stage? Any link to it?
Very last video at the bottom of this link.

He plays like how I imagined he would if he ever got into Smash. It's glorious.
Edit: These stages look a lot better too

Oh man, I really REALLY hope they show Thunder's stage in the stream since it's my favorite stage and I want to see how it looks after seeing Spinal's. I mean seriously, I thought Spinal's was pretty okay-ish but the new lighting bumped it up to one my faves now.
And holy shit yo, Sabrewulf's stage looks great as well! I'm just loving this new lighting, everything feels so fresh now!! Thumbs WAYYY up Iron Galaxy!

Lmao, Kim Wu is like half of Arbiter's height and even his crouch is taller than her. Dude is huuuuge and I wonder if Gargos might be similar to his size.
EDIT: YOOOOO that Kim Wu combo by Keits!!

Sucks that I can't watch the stream. My internet is being poo..
I'll catch it on YouTube at some point. I really want to see how these stages look now.

Alien on alien violence. That usually doesn't end well for us humans.
Indeed is. Every stage so far.

It'd be really nice if they could do weekly streams. I really miss those

At least we got to see more Kim.
Although I'll admit I was a bit worried before Keits turned it on lol.

Just the mention of Spinal, and Sabrewulf's stage is making me hyped up for them. Have they shown Thunder's and Fulgore's stage yet? :V
Wow, I'm genuinely impressed by how much better the stages they showed look with the new lighting. Can't wait to see how the rest!
Bummed we didn't get to see the new UI and Char select yet, hopefully on the Tusk stream they show the goods.

Yeah, I'm a bit surprised they didn't show off UI yet but it sounds like they will soon, and honestly as long as the character select screen is improved I'll be pretty happy.

None of theirs sadly. It was just Aganos, Spinal, Sabrewulf and Glacius of the old characters stages IIRC and also Kim Wu/Arbiter which we've seen already. Spinal's look drastically different in the new lighting for sure and doesn't look as plain as before. Sabrewulf's looks a lot more moody and atmospheric with fog in the background outside and the stage being dark but lighted by the candles and such. Overall the game looks a LOT better and they've did a really good job on it. I really hope they show Thunder's in the next stream whenever they do it.

March 29th must come sooner.
Yeah his gameplay looks fantastic, I do think (like Kim) his face could use some polish before launch but great design overall.

Tusk looks phenomenal and the nod to Virtua Fighter is all class.

The gamma blow out at the end of matches still rearing its ugly head since the middle of season 2. Will hold out hope it gets fixed before launch.
Tusk and Kim Wu need work on their models, especially in the face. Tusk falls apart especially bad in up close shots. I feel like a few weeks of polish should help them shine though so not too concerned about it. Game play wise (the most important) season 3 looks like a lot of fun to play. You can tell a lot of love went into Arbiter both aesthetically and in how he plays, great job IG.
The new lighting in the stages seems much better buts it's hard to tell on IG's potato cam quality streams. I await direct feed. I do like the new shadow move effect, it's easier to see the character's movements and as a result should be easier to break shadows.
The music isn't Mick level but I never expected it to be, still a good effort and fits KI. I've noticed everything shown for season 3 has been using the "classic" announcer, I wonder if that will be the default moving forward.
Load times were bad and still some lag when loading menus, performance issues I expect will be ironed out before launch. I have to say I expected a bit more polish given the development time for this season.
