They probably want to make it more of an informal longer stream like they did with Hisako.
6pm means I'll be home from work and can watch it.
But yeah I hate when I can't catch the streams live, especially for a character reveal like Cinder.

Recent game releases have solidified my love for KI. Really hope the last character in season 2 is not the last of the new KI.
Anybody know who the last character might be?

Thanks. Any rumors/talk of more seasons? I'd love to see their take on Tusk.

They never want to confirm anything, but they said if season 3 does happen Tusk and Kim Wu will be there.
I'd guarantee they have several characters for season 3 already in various stages.
That's why I'm thinking it will be Evo and maybe not E3.
Didn't an MS employee let it slip during an interview that they signed a contract going up to Season 3?
I don't think so. I only remember teases and more information later.
I swear to God, I remember hearing it on a live stream. It was one of those demonstrations they do at E3 and show off their game. One of them was playing silently while the other was talking about it. It's frustrating knowing you've seen it and have no clue where you could begin to search for proof.
Sounds like GDC which was Hisako stream. Don't remember any accidental leaks.
Nah, wasn't that stream, was near the beginning of season 2 with Maya.

I expect it to be a pretty long stream with the time it's going up. I don't even know what to expect from it. :V

Well well, I might be able to watch it afterall!
You know for a fucking Cinder reveal at 6pm CST I would hope we could at least hit 6000 viewers. MK NRS streams get 35k without blinking lol.

Could have sworn they said he had one previously, shame that it changed.
New forum image looks good.
Cinder looks like he is yanking Maya's ponytail

That accessory set looks pretty cool, I like it.
Also really like how Cinder is shaping up. People were yelling OP in the chat but I'm not so sure. He has a lot of tools, yeah, but it seems like it's going to be difficult for him to use them all effectively. I'm thinking he'll sort of be like Kan-Ra, lot of potential with a high skill ceiling.

That's what I'm thinking. He has a lot of tools but they are rather, I don't know, unorthodox.
Cinder looks pretty good, I LOVE his look during Instinct mode. They said he's not finished so hopefully his design and effects will be even better when released.
And yeah the the constant chanting of 'OP' from the chat was exhausting but completely expected. :|

Here's a time stamp for the Cinder-TJ matchup without any of the background noise.

Really love Cinder's entrance.

K.I characters have such better model design than MKX. There's so little moving parts on MK characters (females look oddly goofy without ANY breasts physics, the hair is generally really meh, half the clothes look glued to their models and deform unnaturally with their motions), and some of the ones they do have look really spotty (D'vora's cape/cloak).
But it's that playability... I know crazy Cinder will work and respond just as I want him... mkx still has annoying cancel windows and odd button priority, regardless of which options I change.
MKX excels in story and writing, has obviously higher res texture work (most of the time) and it's character loading is nice, though I'm more than happy trading brief seconds to see custom options on screen BEFORE selection. But K.I's core is sooooo much better it's daunting. Which sucks because I really wanna enjoy the Mkx characters even more.

I wasn't too fond of Cinder, honestly.
I knew things would end up changing, but I just couldn't like what was brought.
---------------
Things I didn't like:
- Fire Flash; I don't like the way he does it and his fire effect with it is kind of 'meh' I'm sad that he doesn't even do double flips.
- His body. I got used to the way it looked, the design grew on me. Looks pretty good up close, but from far off.. It just doesn't seem right?
- The pyrobombs. It would have been pretty cool for another character, but Cinder. Raaah.
- His throw. Lol. Didn't like wind up on him.
What I did like:
- His colors are really good. I love every one of them.
- Trailblazer. I liked the addition of controlling where you want to go, and additional Trailblazers as well.
- Reverse Fireflash. It fits, even if it's another Hisako situation. xP But again, those fire effects. >.<
- The move where you light your opponent on fire is pretty damn awesome. Whatever color you end up choosing is what will appear on the opponent. Which looks great!
Edit:
- Inferno looks pretty damn great as well.
- Intro/Outro are pretty great.

Can't comment on MKX but I think the models turn out so well in KI since its a mix of cartoon and realism where other games go one direction. This allows detail yet also allows for more bright colors, body shapes and effects.
Injustice really disappointed me model wise. His name is Green Lantern surely you can make him bright green. Though I imagine that was WB/DC involvement also.
I can't accept this his throw is my favorite throw in the game(unless you count Aganos Bat swing.)
Yeah I'm just going on the assumption that his effects in general will all look better when he's finished. That was certainly the case for Hisako.
I agree with Bat about fireflash though, I would rather see the much tighter backflip animation over Guiles 'flash kick' look but eh. Or how bout at least have the level 4 ender be a double backflip just like the ender in KI1.

The fire effect for Fire Flash is a teaser of the new Contra coming to Xbox One

That's your favorite, not mine.
Troubled Bat: the fire "swoosh" effect you see is unfinished, that's why it looks kind of meh right now
Mmm. Then we shall see later down the road!
Lol. I had to get that pointed out to me.
Oh I get it, its a giant C. That took me forever to notice.
