Fighting against ARIA seems to net you the most XP because of her three life bars. Do multiple different enders/openers, and mix up the strengths you use for linkers/autodoubles. Double XP weekend right now so it's a good time to get some of it done. There's no real efficient way to do it, but what I just mentioned has helped me.

Yep, still like her design and she looks better in motion. I wonder what that grab move is though, can't tell if it's an SRK or a command grab but it seems like a SRK that grabs imo.

I'm expecting it, honestly.
Free for 5 days and then it starts again.

FUUUUUU that was a painful ban.
Missed out on so much stuff.
So gave in and pre-ordered Season 3 despite the higher than expected price. The 18,000 Gold made it worth it. Mira still looks awesome.

Agreed. Maybe even one of the outfits from Van Helsing? Draculas women?

gotta wait till tuesday for color 10s
Thanks
I just saw this, that track isn't too shabby I love that they used a live choir.
And Mira looks pretty cool so far.
Maybe Mira's "grapple" in the trailer is similar to Rose's Soul Throw in SF. They sure showed us a lot of her model for one of their teases! Sly acknowledgement of the leaks?
Kinda meh on her being another pale skin with dark hair character (Hisako and Sadira cover that well), but it's still cool that our vampiric style addition is female.
Hope drinking blood for a certain reason is part of her unique mechanics. Demitri never really DID anything with that aspect of himself... and I don't believe Slayer did either.

It looks like Mira is pretty close to completion, maybe an early April release would not be out of the question. I am really happy they decided to up the female representation in Killer Instinct and for the most part have kept over sexualization to a minimum.
I hope the unknown character slot goes to something really creative like Aganos was. I also feel like Gargos is more or less a blank slate to work with as well so I expect really cool things in that department aesthetically and game play.
edit: just realized one really nice positive to having Mira, if they do a really great gothic theme for her I can use it on Sabrewulf's stage so I never have to hear that one again.

Wat you talkin' bout Willis? Wulf's theme is great

It grew on me but every time I hear his themes from KI 1 and 2 it just really pales in comparison. It never hits hard enough to feel like a fighting game theme either.
What's funny is IMO Wulfs KI1 theme is the best track in the entire series...yet I feel his KI2 theme is WORST in the series, go figure.
His KI3 theme is decent but certainly not a standout among all the crazy epic arrangements for Cinder, Omen, Combo, Aganos, Hisako, Spinal etc..

I main Wulf, there's something I really like about playing Wulf on his stage with his music. It all just fits.
Does anyone play Glacius? I could use some practice with that matchup
Also is anyone down to get a Gaf lobby going this weekend?

I think for Glac v Wulf, the idea is to apply pressure at the jump. Giving too much space leaves you suspectible to Ice Pillars, and jumping can get you stuffed by either Hail or f.HP.
Use Wulf's Heavy Run and Dash in to keep the distance close and usually s.LP should be good to open combos with.
You could try going against my shadow, not sure if that would really help.

My favorite theme is TJ's. Gets me so pumped every time I listen.

Hey guys. Never played a Killer Instinct game before and I don't own a X1 but after seeing the gameplay videos and listening to the OST, I'm definitely getting this game for W10 when it comes out. Hell, I'll be upgrading to W10 primarily for this game.
Though I had a few questions.
(a)I live in Pakistan so the players I'll be playing against will be either from South Asia or from the middle east. Is there a decent community for this game in the ME or will I have trouble finding people online to play against?
(b) The only fighting game series I've played seriously is Street Fighter. Will it be particularly difficult to learn this game?
EDIT: (c) Is this game easy to play on a pad? I'll primarily be using the DS4.

community is biggest in north/south america
europe and asia are semi small but growing.
Game is most similar to Street Fighter... easy to learn... difficult to master (mind games are pretty big in this game)
this game is easy to play on pad (a lot of tourney players use pad too), though i'd check to make sure DS4 pad can be used on Windows 10 games

Hmm. Hopefully the W10 release will increase the amount of players around here.
And yeah, DS4windows now works perfectly on W10 so a DS4 can be used easily.
Thanks for the response.
The official W10 FAQ for the game says that Xbox 360 controllers (X-input) are compatible, but I don't know about DS4 or other D-input controllers or if they work with something like x360ce in those Windows 10 apps. I know people had some complaints about the W10 apps being walled off so far. Anyone know how it worked with Tomb Raider and Gears?

Well from what I've read in some of the threads here, DS4windows now emulates x-input for W10 just as well as it does for W7,8. If a X360 controller works, I see no reason why this wouldn't work.
Though I suppose some confirmation from someone who used DS4windows on Windows 10 apps would be great.
EDIT: Someone on reddit claims that their DS4 works fine on the W10 store version of ROTR.
Good to know. Thanks!
Nah, Hinnamatoom is the best.

Well let's not bring internationally acclaimed music into this, we're talking about fighting games here.

I can't pick a favorite theme in KI. I honestly love them all. Even all the season 3 themes so far I love.

For KI merch, a physical OST of the new KI is all I really want....also a 2nd art book like the one released for S1 but for the newer seasons.
The fuck..looks like it was designed by a 12 year old in MS paint
Yeah I'll stick with EightySixed stuff.
