Wow, looks amazing!
So from reading the textual stream, he'll be able pick up rocks and shit from the stage and add to his repetior during the match.
Affects his speed and mobility as a result which is very cool
What really stood out is that he doesn't have auto doubles, he has two hit strikes, so probably really slow and really easy to break maybe?
I really want to see the stream next week!

Youre taking out the Mike announcer?!
No, no, no. Its just we dont have access to Mike any longer, so new lines have to be filled in with a sound-alike. If we add more than a certain percentage of new lines, we end up with a non-cohesive announcer, and thats when we have to think about what we do in regards to the voice overall.

So if Aganos has a stage ultra that means we should end up with five total this season since Adam confirmed Aria and Cinder have them as well, neat. I cannot wait to see how Aganos looks in motion because I can't wrap my head around how they managed to get something that massive into KI.
I think they are just making assumptions based on the limited information given during last week's textual stream when Adam was discussing Cinder's allegiances.

What's the best bundle to buy for this game? Keep in mind I only have the free version

depends on how much you like KI lol.
$20 version is best for someone who just wants the characters
$40 version is best for someone who wants original arcade game, and all customization options

^I wish they had a pack after you bought the season passes that was just all the customization options.
I think so

I think you can upgrade to ultra for $20 now, but I'm not sure. (That would net you all customization and Classic arcade games)
Mike is with Double Helix
Stage art + https://vine.co/v/OD2qvBEUQHD makes me really excited about his stage overall.
Ahh yeah, you're probably right. I missed that in last week.
They actually say in the textual stream that it's exactly that.

Stage preview with a Stage Ultra!!
That stage is beautiful.
I can't wait to see it in-game. Also wondering what the stage ultra will be? Aganos is fuckin' huge! Bigger than I anticipated. He's going to very very interesting, for sure. I'm excited for his retro as well, going to the way he originally looked before replacing his body.
Riptor has purple blood! We did it. guys!
Colors 7-9 are releasing with Aganos.
Can't wait to see all those special colors!

Not color 9 lol.
29-30 already takes me like a hour.
30-31 will take longer probably
We learned he had a mask. I distinctly remember Isgreen saying something about him being able to make himself a mask. I imagine it is done to give him a face that resembles KI 1
If anyone is still looking, the KI TE2 stick is finally back in stock at the MadCatz store.

Love the stage concept for Aganos. Might end up being my favorite stage in the game going by the concept and Mick's teases.
Still not a fan of the face/mask though but otherwise he looks pretty damn incredible. Just have to hold out for some good accessories.
Glad they're sticking with the same schedule as last month too. Excited for the stream next week.

My toughts exactly, if only they waited till the end of season 2 to upgrade the character level.
As you said it already is dang hard to get to level 30 with everyone, and I wouldve been more content if they added more player lvl like from max. 50 to max 70. or something.
Im getting lots of player EXP which just goes to waste because im maxed out. :/
Aside from that it seems like a pretty cool stage!! I wonder if the stage ultra will throw them under a falling rock or statue or something.
He has a move that gives 100% potential damage(the white damage that requires an ender).
Strategy
It's really hard to hit the move, most set-ups are just going to be people hitting you and then trying for grab off blockstun, pretty easy to jump or hit Omen and stop the animation. They can only do it when hen has 3 bars. If you somehow do get hit just hide and wait for the ball to fill up, it fills exponentially, Omen can't give pressure,
Aganos, eh? Nice name. Already having fun at imagining how our announcers will say it.
First off... THAT SIZE! WOHOO! It seems like 3D fighters never really try to have vastly large characters, unless it's a holdover from 2D (Such as with Sentinel in MvC3). I always find this pretty depressing, because we had character like Earthquake walking around in Samurai Shodown in the "early" days of fighters. And now everything is pretty much human-sized, or just slightly bigger.
KI S2 really is finding it's place at bringing in a lot of things the fighter world has mostly given up on for "serious" games (Things like the Naruto Games and Smash dabble in these ideas, but they're not traditional 1 on 1 affairs) back into a traditional fighter. I can really appreciate this! This is really helping the game achieve a unique identity.
His stage looks pretty nice so far too, like a land-level version of Maya's to a degree. I quite like the use of water in the BG's of this season. And it's great to hear it'll have a stage Ultra. My first thought is that something will emerge from that left-most door.
The thought that he takes pieces from the environment in order to add back to himself sounds nice. Will this be stage specific? Would be a nice way to toss in a bunch of stupid easter eggs.
I want to see his walls and such in action, before I even think about commenting on his gameplay. Sounds ambitious, and a great way to cause issues!
The costume mods for future colors and old accessories are quite cool. That'll really help customizations stuck out as something more original, I'm glad.
As far as how Aganos will react to throws and such... I actually hope something happens like the enemy throws his "core" components, and his limbs and such only reform when he's not getting tossed around. Or maybe they could even go the VF5 way like with Taka Arashi, and just make characters throws different when dealing with him? I kinda doubt this will happen, but I'd love to see it.
So far, I'm impressed. He's more imposing than I'd figure they'd be willing to go for. Really looking forward to next week's stream! Gotta see how he moves and animates in combat (Omen trailer was a nice tease.)
The game that keeps on giving.

Not a character I would ever use but that stage will be selected many many times, it's great.
According to the devs it's "AH-ga-nohs"
Season 3! It'd be great to add some additional modes for that season. Especially if they go up to 27ish characters. 3 v 3, Tag, Tournaments, etc would be great.

Yeah I'm still a bit salty about that, I hope they work something out on this by either adding Shadow Jago to regular Jagos alternate costumes or giving that model the Akuma treatment.
Seems like they didn't really expect there to be a great demand for Shadow Jago so that + still having to finish out the season could be why they haven't made that a priority. Still, would love to see that whole thing addressed including that weird empty character slot space.
I heard they were going to just replace it with the KI logo at some point though
They did.
