Man, I wanna know what that new multiplayer mode is so badly. Wonder if they'll finally put a tag mode into the game.

Also very surprised that Gargos is May, I was sure they'd round out the season with him. Makes me wonder what they're going to close with. I'd be surprised if it was RAAM. Eyedol?

Oh boy. Not cool.

If you're not going to take the job, don't crap on others' work.

But yeah, it was blah.

As I've mentioned before Mick probably was willing to do the job, Microsoft just wouldn't give him a definitive answer on whether or not it was happening. Dude has to eat so he took another job. Just speculation tho

The music didn't leave a strong impression there, it sounded cool enough, but I didn't feel any unique hooks that pulled me in.

Arbiter's armor sets are really what we wish all accessory sets could he, eh? There's barely anything shared in his armors; they all look basically like unique models. It's impressive.

Gargos has a jerky face, but nice to see he looks like something memorably unique here, rather than just some Gargoyle.

Mira's accessories look pretty nice, too. Good variety, nice variance in looks... now just to see how she ends up playing! Her into reminds me a bit of ARIA's from the little we saw.

Shadow Lord's mimic army theme sounds like it'll hopefully put all these accessories and colors to good use, in sending army activity across the world, ha. New collectables, crafting and accessories from it? Sounds like Edge Master Mode EX, which would be very nice.

The characters are still promised at a rapid-fire pace, and we got to see a lot of future work here. Feels good. We've already seen more of this season than we have of SFV's, lol. Have we STILL not seen gameplay of a character we're receiving in 2 days?

This is the forum post about it from Adam re: supposedly "letting him go"

While everything you say is of course your own individual opinion based on limited information, this one is just flat out wrong. Mick had lots of prior commitments and didn't want to put in a half-effort in regards to KI's music due to juggling his own time. It was a mutual agreement he wasn't going to be involved in S3.

We've said this before. This level of misinformation needs to be put to rest.

Music was forgettable, not anywhere near the level that was the S2 launch trailer, but everything looks great. I'm glad they've confirmed Gargos. : )

Shitty call by Mick.

He wasn't taken off KI was he? He left didn't he? In which case, dick move.

So the update won't be out until around 11.30pm Australian time? Oh fuck off.

I don't argue that he had too much to do, I just don't think they were willing to give him a concrete answer on whether or not they would need him.

edit: Look at this release schedule if you need any proof, literally EVERYTHING is super last minute.

Well no one outside either party has proof. I'm just posting what was said about it.

I'm expecting some Doom accessory set for Gargos with the way he looks. Give me the Cyber Demon he deserves to be! lol. Also, I really hope in his retro that we can get some stone gargoyle look in one of his colors.

I also got home to listen to everything the correct way, and see the trailer in HD since I watched it without sound on my phone since I was somewhere. But yeah, Gargos theme, disappointed by it for sure. The face is even worse from when I saw it through my phone. xP

Loved the trailer but wasn't feeling the music. Surprised they revealed Gargos (even though I called it) so Raam and another Shadow character most likely eh? Guess we'll have Mira at the end of April.

Bring it on!!!

There is no way a shadow character is taking up a spot.

Launch trailer music was nowhere near the hype induced by TJ Combo's theme last season. Probably the most disappointing track in the game so far, but hopefully it's work in progress.

Speaking of work in progress, Gargos' face better be. That looks terribad coming from a team that has released some amazing updates to old characters.


Of course Mick was referring to something else, the guy is all class.

The music in the trailer is really generic, it's true. Though to be honest, Season 1 and 2 wasn't perfect either - some really hilariously over-produced tunes that often just mashed up traditional instruments fitting the character's theme with chugging metal guitars and artificially epic arrangements with layers upon layers of layers of chants and choircs and ascending progressions. It all worked because thankfully Killer Instinct has a cheesy 90s aesthetic, but it seems weird to me to be on a high horse about this game's music.

Oh wow Gargos looks pretty dope but I probably have to get used to his new face though since it's really different from his old look. Also he's coming after Mira in May? Cool, I really thought he'd come last or something but I guess the others aren't ready to be shown yet.

Shadow Lords mode sounds pretty awesome from what the details listed. If the mode is fun and has a lot of variation, I can see myself sinking many hours into it.

Also lol, if Mick's tweet is about the trailer's music, I don't blame him since I kinda wasn't really feeling it myself lol. It fits the trailer but it wasn't as great as Season 2's launch trailer with TJ's awesome theme bumping in the bg.

Why do they show "playing on Windows 10" as "playing on a shitty netbook"?

Oh well, HYPE! Can't wait for Shadow Lords, that looks like it'll be tons of fun if they add enough variety to it.
