Cinder looks amazing, IMO. Really looking forward to seeing him properly in action.
Also sounds like they are, at the very least, giving serious consideration/looking into a PC version, but just don't want to commit to it yet. Although that could just be me being a bit too optimistic.

Sounds to me like the standard type of response for it's gonna happen and just a matter of time, but we just can't confirm.
Oh man I love that new Cinder, Im pleasantly surprised at how much better this new version looks...what a massive improvement over that not so great original concept. Cant wait to see the finished product with fire effects and animations etc. IG is killing it lately.
Classic looks on point too!

Very, very nice. I'm so glad that they didn't stick with the silhouette version of Cinder.
Also, from the concept art, I really like the design on the top left corner. Not for Cinder, but for the design in general.
That retro of his, very retro. Haha. Happy to know that he has his stance back as well.
No they added the mouth we saw earlier.

Ah, they didn't nail it then but it's still leagues better than whatever that concept art is supposed to be.

amazing, too good day to read an hear a little more of Cinder, there is a lot of care for every detail that he is gonna be the best of the returning characters in terms of design

Pose comparison.
His new one looks a bit like Jago's so I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't made his skeleton yet.

i actually really like the original concept lol...but it reminds me too much of glacius.
Yah the hand pose even looks similar to the two hand one Glacius does. Both are rather lankey aliens with an element.
Kind of funny to think that the two characters who looked very similar back in the old games by being big bulky superhero-like, were almost the similar in this game by being lanky aliens.

Cinder looks good, excited to see it with all the effects turned on.
Only things that seem off to me are the lack of mouth and the legs. Having a mouth just seems like it would look better, especially since he's supposed to be cocky and snarky. His legs seem really thin too. I'm sure it'll look different with all the effects turned on but I wouldn't mind seeing them bulked up a little bit.
Outside of those fairly minor complaints though, he looks pretty great.

New cinder looks amazing. Can't wait to see what they do with season 3
Speaking of Season 3 they have Kim Wu, Tusk, and possibly Gargos (Though I doubt it).
I can't wait to see a season with primarily new characters. You think we'll get a guest character?

I'm sure it'll be changed up a bit, I just can't wait to the slight changes as the days go on. ^^
But he does have a mouth.
We saw it in the trailer for Hisako. And yeah, the legs are pretty weird looking. But I'm sure that the fire effects surrounding him will be covering all those spots up, making it look normal.I want an android. But the thing that I really want to know.. What does ARIA stand for.

He does have a mouth, they didn't keep the design that was a full mask that you are seeing in that image.

But he does have a mouth.
Oh, alright. Guess I was a bit confused by the structure of the textual stream then. I thought the image of him on his stage was the most up to date one but I guess not. I'm assuming the one from the Hisako teaser is the most current then?

It was a bit confusing because they said they added bulk since the trailer which was supposedly shown in that screen shot but the face in the trailer is more accurate than the screenshot? It's confusing. I think the whole work in progress structure of the textual stream made it kinda difficult to figure out where they are outside of definitely not the concept art.
I could be wrong but the way I read it was that newer concept with his stance and new stage in the background IS the latest version..it's the one in the teaser that is old and has been dramatically revised. (Maybe wishful thinking)
And they just simply added a mouth that can revealed by dissapearing Hexagons like shown in the one head picture...

apparently if you do a shadow payload assault after Aganos's ultra you can see what he would look like if the camera wasn't zoomed out
neat

It's not too bad. :V

Okay, it's bad. Lol
Although, as I see it that way, I don't see how it needed to be zoomed out as far as it is now.
Doesn't bother me either way. But that's an interesting thing to actually see. ^^

You also have to keep in mind that Aganops has a plethora of animations that make its 'body' stretch out longer. Hell just standing with the club make it a bit taller.

Doukou pls
How are you going to delete the last part. It doesn't bother me. It's just interesting to actually see how it would have looked without it being zoomed out.
Agreed, personally I think it would be cool if in story mode the screen is normal size and Aganos is a mini boss for most characters, it really helps sells his size when he just blocks half the screen.

Do you guys have any opinions on ultimates coming back? I feel like it's probably work that would be better spent elsewhere, the stage ultras are plenty good enough in my opinion. Adam made it sound like ultimates would require a huge amount of work considering stages weren't designed with them in mind and every character would need significant work to incorporate them.
El Sabroso
Member
I'm sad, really want the option of Ultimates since it is a quick way to end a match rather than just Ultra and MP+MK, stage ultras are cool tho

I think they could implement ultimate style finishers but obviously much less involved than Shadow Jagos for instance. Something similar to MK's new brutalities but obviously less graphic. Utilizing current moves or animations so that it wouldn't take as much work.
Side question: Adam mentioned that after an Ultra is initiated you can quit a match but I'm not aware of a quick way to exit the match. Does he mean actually close KI during an ultra and then restart the game from scratch every time? Or can you actually press start and quit after its initiated?
Troubled Bat

But Aganos doesn't fit for a mini-boss. xP
I don't really care for them returning, since we at least have Stage Ultras. But I would much rather have Ultimates than Stage Ultras though.

I'd love to have ultimates, but they would porbably have to be toned down for the T rating. They were obviously meant to compete with Fatalities from MK, but I just don't think they fit in with the new game. To be completely honest I don't think the game really even needs the excess blood.
They should bring back humiliations instead

Yeah, does not have to be too cinematic, but can be an alternate finish blow than the ultra ender
I think but still the opponent gets the message that other person abandoned the match, meaning that your +100 hits ultra will not end as you wish

now that should cost more work than just a finishing blow, but have to agree are more preferable

I don't like what they did with Cinder. I mean if this was a reboot of the canon fine but this game is in the same universe as the first 2 games its essentially KI 3 so how did Cinder go from a gruff american prisoner who gets experimented on with chemicals to an alien bounty hunter with what sounds like a more sophisticated accent? I hope they explain that new Cinder and old Cinder are 2 separate characters because otherwise it doesn't make sense.

It is a reboot in the sense that it only uses parts of the lore but it's not a direct sequel.
