Iron Galaxy just wrapped up their KI S2 panel at PAX, and there were a few reveals.
First is Hisako, aka "Ghost Girl". She has high/low counters, and counter-hit normals that can be performed with a new meter called "Wrath Meter". She also has a command grab that contorts the opponent and unique auto-doubles where you hold down the button, making the timing similar to a Manual attack. Her Instinct Mode causes her Wrath Meter to be constantly full, meaning unlimited access to all Wrath-enhanced moves for the duration of the Instinct, as well as her counters being effective against high and low attacks simultaneously. She releases at the end of the month.
Character Walkthrough
There will be a video archive of the stream later tonight.

Character Walkthrough
Shadows is a new mode where the game essentially makes a bot out of your character, based on your playstyle. The game learns how you play, makes a Shadow out of it, and you can then send your Shadow to other players online. This mode launches in April.
Finally Story Mode will have cinematics, and will release in June after all the characters are out.
