No. They did confirm Cinder and Aria's stages do.

I hope everyone enjoys Riptor! I'm really proud of everyone at IG for making her completely awesome.

I've been sitting at 5% for the update for the last 30 mins. Have tried rebooting, unplugging console, pausing installation, etc. Nothing is working. This did not happen with Kan-Ra.
Any ideas?

No. It doesn't even have its own ultra music.
Reinstall would be my next step

I think it's because she has actual special daggers, compared to everyone who just has normal weapons.

This is a different Riptor than the KI1 one, right? so it could be male, y'know. 
Riptor is very fun to play, not sure how balance she is.
Her biggest weaknesses are her wake-up game where her only good wake-up(Shadow Tail-flip) can be punished and she overall is very easy to punish. Though her pressure can be tremendous.
Where are the new character icons for unreleased characters, I was looking forward to them.
Like her stage but her stage music feels lackluster.
I also didn't get my story xp for characters I already had it done with(though the challenged showed up)

Nope, she's still female.

I thought this update was meant to fix menus and loading?
Or was I imagining that?

It was suppose to fix loading. I think it is a bit faster, not noticeable though.
Based on the livestreams at least, we've seen the improvements in action.
Shpeshal Nick

Yeah barely at all. They need to fix the menu lag/sluggishness.
Based on my experiences actually playing, it hasn't really done jack.
The FAQ on Xbox.com makes it sound like you need the disc in to play
So you'd be installing the DLC on top of the retail install.
If I were to guess.... What would happen is if you got season 2 and the retail disc and tried to play without the disc, you just wouldn't have the S1 characters.... Because the license is the disc not the install

Riptor's theme
I like it a lot more now, though I don't think it works that well in a fighting game.

Why do I have to redownload the entire game exactly?

So what does everyone think about the motion blur? I haven't had the chance to try the new patch out yet.
it was supposed to improve, not fix it. they said it was the first of several updates to address it

I've played with it both on and off and actually prefer the motion blur. The motion blur is not overpowering and subtle enough for you to see and appreciate. It makes the animations of the moves look more smooth. I will be keeping it on unless I take screenshots of the game, then I would obviously want to turn off motion blur.

Good to read this. I'm excited to see how it looks. Should help with Maya's animations I bet.

I personally love it. Makes the game look immense on my 55 bravia. Makes it look like renders like the original but with so much pop or something. It looks crazy good. That or they are doing other trickery. I don't believe thus game isn't 1080p now. It looks crazy good to me. Can't believe it's 900? Lol
They redid how some things work in the code. Part of them working towards faster load times and such.
I was hardly making unqualified praise. I guess the sheer audacity of pointing out the video recordings of the changes called for that retort.
It's pretty different than the stuff we've had before. But, that's okay. Mick has earned the right to play around a bit, imo.
Plus we have plenty more awesome stuff coming. (This was confirmed by Mick to be KI related, and not Cinder. I'm thinking Aria.)

Riptor's theme sounds a like Spinal's and Sabrewulf's. Sounds good to me.
It doesn't pop as much as Spinal in my opinon.
It's similar to Sabrewulf but I didn't really like his either, I feel Riptor's is too quiet.
Also apparently both the new character icons/silhouettes and Kan-Ra's accessories were a mistake and suppose to come out 2.3

The basic structure is there, though. Honestly, Gordon's stuff is starting to seem a bit repetitive and I hope he changes things up in the future. I still think his KI tracks are some of the best things I've heard in video games in quite some time.
Do people playing with the XB1 controller use the dpad or the stick?
I was messing around with the game for the first time last night in the dojo and found it really difficult to pull off a tiger fury and even a fireball with any consistency on the dpad. I turned inputs on and saw that I was most often missing the diagonal input.
Switching to the analog makes these moves easier but I feel like it comes at the cost of movement precision.
Any suggestions (other than buying a stick!)?

I used the analog before buying a stick. The d-pad just doesn't flow enough for me.

I use the analog stick with this game. Works very well.
Riptor is pretty cool. Unlocked the 5 basic achievements within 10 mins of playing Survival. I do like how easy it was for me to pull off combos with Riptor.
Still, Orchid is my favorite and always will be. So sexy in her holiday suit.....

Hmmm I'm finding her harder to get started with compared to Kan-Ra
has anybody figured exactly when you can cancel her down back + FP into her leaping flip?
Specifically the one that crosses up? I remember watching the KI stream and she seemed a lot faster. The cross up is pretty slow and her normals are really really really easy to break.
Back to the lab!

You'll still need the disc inside your console if you want access to Season 1 Characters or any content from the disc.
Block high, both QK and MK from predator stance hit high right?
That's what most people seem to be doing.

Don't mind Riptor. Was pulling off some decent combos pretty quickly. She's really fucking aggresive. More so than any other character I've played with. Sabrewolf is the only one that comes close.

Can you even hit low from predator stance?
I only played with her for a little bit so I'm not sure. Don't recall being able to though.

Riptor is out?
Holy crap, why did no one create a thread? Guess I'll download the update tomorrow, currently in the process of downloading the Horizon 2 DLC as well as Costume Quest 2.

I actually use both analog stick and dpad during a fight. I use the analog stick to perform moves and general movement and strictly use the dpad for dashing. This method works well for me.
