Will Sadira at least be playable there?
So far, the "Thunder" Build is the one that's been making the rounds to events. Maybe Comic Con will get the Sadira Build? Or maybe the Sadira and Orchid builds are so close to completion, that they'll forgo new builds for public demo play until they have final release code complete?
Either way, this situation is a lot better than the gap between Thunder and Sadira. The XB1 Road tour is getting the game out to people in some way, Play XBLA is SUPPOSE to be streaming every Thursday until release (with the potential to show us content they'd never let loose in a public play environment), and the time to launch is drawing ever closer each day. It's crazy how much more gameplay we've seen of this game, than any other Next-gen title. Others get hype for 1 10 minute vid doc... we've got probably 10s or hours of unique KI matches logged already on video, starting with the hours of streams from right at E3.

That would be gret for the the other fighting games that MS owns if some of those characters appear.
They don't have to come from other fighting games. DOA4 had Nicole-458 for example.
Not true yet, no. It stems from the fact that the guys on stream last Thursday were VERY ready to give a "YES, we HAVE considered guest characters!" answer to one of the people in chat. Since it seems like such a strong answer, it seems very likely. Though It could be over a year before we see such a thing attempted, as the game will need to be successful to continue adding characters...
Saberwulf himself seems to be a big reference to games made by
the company that the creators of Rare ran previously. Whether it be through direct guest characters, or just nods to past works, KI is no stranger to the influence of past products from it's creators.
(I think we can strongly see that KI's classic metal look, and even the use of "Ultimate" is directly inspired by Ultimate PTG there.)
There'd be no reason why they'd have to just draw from fighters. Inspirations, direct, or alluded to, could come from anywhere, and be worked into the universe. If Viva Pinata, Banjo Nuts and Bolts, and Grabbed by the Ghoulies can have constant KI references and teases in them, why can't KI reference those games, Kameo, Perfect Dark, or Jet Force Gemini?
I wouldn't be to surprised if part of the reason why this KI exist, is because MS figured they needed a fighter to compete with the (expected to succeed!) Playstation All Stars. So a "Microsoft Allstars Featuring Rare & Killer Instinct!" might not have been too unlikely during the concept stages...
Worth it for the double post:
Killer Instinct will be streamed today around 11am PST
Verified by asking them on Twitter.
Of course, it'll be on the Play XBLA Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/microsoftstudios

I'll be curious to see the training mode and also how it differs from the dojo mode.
I doubt we will see it, but fingers crossed.
Thanks for the info, derFeef!
Aye, agreed. I keep thinking it'd be pretty cool to see some story-like elements in the Dojo; such as each character having a master (Though artwork) that addresses them personally about what to do next.
Don't really expect all that, but it'd be nice.
Surely, was an oversight, haha. "Hey guys, go to this place which was linked 7 pages back!".

OMG..I want this.... But with different artwork.
okay I can spare an hour. in!
Characters coming no later than March. Beta to try out the new cast. First is hopefully in Jan, the next in Mar.
Beta testers of the characters will get stuff to use in-game.
Versus AI mode. So you can dick around against AI. Apparently....it's the Arcade Mode w/o a boss?
There is a 'Vile' difficulty.
