I have an Akishop Customs PS360+ in my MadCatz SFIV Fightstick TE and a CronusMax, and thanks to firmware updates, I can use it on my 360, PS3, XB1 (via CronusMax) and PS4. It's glorious.
No issues with the CronusMax? I've read so many bad things about it that I've pretty much completely wrote it off at this point.
Try going to games addons and install everything that it says you own but havent installed
What issues?
I have two and they work great. Complaints seem to be related to the original abandoned design before the Titan One/CM split and new model. I saw they recently addressed this on their Facebook page.

I haven't been following along, but has there been any talk of a KI 2013 soundtrack featuring S1 and S2 themes?

You can buy season one's killer cuts from Amazon and iTunes. Nothing on season 2

I asked Mick about this on Twitter last year and he said there would be an OST released. If it's like Season 1's, though it might not be until September.

None that I'm aware of, but I also pretty much never play the game against anyone locally. My friends aren't into fighting games, certainly not ones I spend a bunch of time playing and they never touch; apparently they aren't into being punching bags. lol.
The only problem I've encountered is more a quirk with the "G-Tuner" application that you use to load configurations onto it. Apparently when setting it up for XB1, if you leave it to set to "Automatic" on one of the settings, it won't work. You need to explicitly set it to XB1. I don't know if this has been corrected since I got the CM though.
It works in auto for me now after the recent firmware and new software.
It was fully downloaded when I played before the Kan-Ra patch, I was playing season 1 characters but strange now I can't play any season 1 characters. I'll look into the addons section tonight. I'm thinking this may be a bug on their patch.
I've been using CronusMax, no issues here.
Oh, yeah. I guess we might get some rabbit ears and Hisako will be out for everyone then. Probably more likely.

Man, there is nothing better than baiting a Sabrewulf into Shadow Eclipse on wakeup and countering it with Hisako. It has to hurt so bad for them but I have no sympathy.
Fixes hard crashes in aganos/hisako matches

I'm not familiar with him but this guy was in the Top 32 Killers tournament tonight. Keits was tweeting about him as well so might be worth checking out.

Ill look into, Id love to see some coverage of aganos's new tools.
So apparently S1 stages suffered some graphical downgrades in S2, particularly Thunders stage but all were affected. It was pointed out in a thread at the official forums, Adam responded that they are going to investigate the issue.

Did anyone else notice this? I'm surprised the devs didn't see it.

Yea Spinal and Thunder's stages look much worse. I also miss the original lighting on Fulgore's stage 
Never really noticed it though, I hope they follow through and fix it.

the only difference I notice is that the win screen in the Glacius stage is super slow compared to others, haven't noticed if is only when winning with Fulgore

Wow, did not realize how big of a downgrade it is, especially for Thunder and Spinal's stages. Thunder's stage used to look great as rain increased, now it just gradually looks more awful.
Adam did say it was unintentional so I am sure they'll figure it out.

To be fair most of us probably don't spend a whole lot of time looking at the ground while playing. The only one I noticed was Fulgore's stage lighting changes but they specifically addressed why that is and it arguably is better for it.
2.6 sneak peak.

Very interesting. Seems like this will be one of the biggest balance change yet.

Says a lot about Omen's current state when that change doesn't even seem like it'd be that bad.

anyone wanna copy paste some bullet points? site's blocked fo rme.
¡HarlequinPanic!;158446261 said:
Jago:
All of Jago's Moves have been removed, he now only has Jumping HP
Sabrewulf:
Shadow Eclipse will see yet another change. Now cashes out 100% damage when it hits on wake-up.
Glacius:
We thought that removing Glacius' backdash would really sell everyone on the idea that he's not a character focused on mobility but it seems that the player base doesn't get it. So, to better enforce the play style that we envisioned for him, Glacius is now completely immobile
Thunder:
Due to player feedback about his damage output, we are giving him all of Fulgore's projectiles and lasers. Also throws sharks.
Sadira:
We feel players don't use the Web Balls enough so now Web Balls no longer go away after they're placed
Orchid:
Her grenades have been replaced with delightful Glitter Bombs. Easily disorients Riptor
Spinal:
Starts with full skulls, never loses skulls. Shadow Skull depletes opponents entire instinct bar instantly
Fulgore:
Now has a new command move that allows him to take his helmet off, exposing his true identity of Eagle, Thunder's long-lost brother. Unfortunately, because Eagle is now just a brain wired into Fulgore's head, this immediately kills Fulgore and ends Thunder's quest for the truth.
TJ Combo:
We have added Ultra-Breakers for everyone and given him full life bar on Last Breath
As promised we revisited TJ's autobarrage and found that it was not working as intended. The attacker currently has to put way too much effort into using it correctly. Hitting six different buttons in any order you want (without repeating!) can be very stressful, especially if you're in the middle of a fight. We've remedied this by upping the damage to 75% and made the attacker only have to press two individual buttons for the first two hits. The rest of the combo is now unbreakable and causes a permanent lockout on the opponent if they try to break it.
Maya:
Maya's daggers are now only usable during instinct, but they are unblockable.
Kan Ra:
No longer able to use Lights in combos.
Riptor:
Players have been breaking buttons so she no longer has HP or HK attacks.
Omen:
We didn't think it was fair that you couldn't always get 100% PD on your grab if the opponent wasn't at 100% health, so now the PD will carry over into the opponent's second health bar so you always get your 100%. If that was the last round the next opponent you face will start the game with the remaining PD on them from the previous fight.
Aganos:
Always has armor, even in the mirror match. Chunks auto-replenish.
Hisako:
Hisako is being removed from the game due to reports of Xbox Ones mysteriously moving around.
Sorry

On a random note; gosh I like Aganos' theme.

Has anyone else noticed that finishing story mode on easy no longer unlocks the easy mode goal? I'm guessing this is a bug related to removing the n00b tier, but I've beat it on two different characters on easy without unlocking a portion of the picture.
Various compatibility issues, latency, disconnects, I read one completely bricking a console, and more. Really worried me.
Hm. I'll see if I can try one from someone and then pick one up. I really want KI in my life, but I refuse to play any fighting game without a stick at this point.

Don't you have to unlock the endings to unlock a piece of the mural? Could be wrong but I thought that was how it worked.
Unless beating it on easy was to unlock an ending then, yeah, with the difficulty changes you might have to bump the difficulty up to medium or whatever is above easy.
brokenwatch
Member
Yes, every character has one ending unlocked by beating it on easy. I did that twice since the patch and neither one counted. I'm doing my best to beat them on medium to see if that fixes it, but obviously it's a lot harder.

Might be worth posting about it on the ultra-combo forums then. Seems like a pretty big oversight. Hopefully they can get it fixed soon.
IG likes the cinematic pauses during their ultras. I hope Aria just wrecks you. The most vicious and meanest ultra there is please!!!
Nothing official but I feel like the lightning is a lot better, the difference with Aganos color 9 on many stages makes me feel like they did something, though they also changed its color 9 in this patch also.

Member
Hopefully they are going to do something more with TJ's color 9 because that was a huge let down after working for level 50. It might as well just be one of the other colors.
