Fellow Canadians:

If you're like me and couldn't get Mad Catz to take your money for a stick pre-order, you can now do so at Futureshop.

Also, if you live near Vancouver or Toronto, the standard, free shipping usually delivers the next day.

Of course, this is assuming that launch-day stuff ships a day prior to the actual Friday release. Otherwise, it's going to be a pretty sh*tty weekend... :X

I've never been very good at fighting games, but I really want to invest some time into KI and try to master some of it. Should I invest in the new arcade stick? Where can you pick one up - online only?

Edit: I'm in the UK.

You can still be very good at the game with a controller

I'm crazy good with fighting fames on a 360 controller for example

But it will save you a bit especially with anything that needs the bumpers... and combo breakers will be annoying to pull off with the bumpers...

And you will probably need to get used to them so you might suck a bit at first if you've been used to a controller for a long time (especially with the stick itself) but you will likely be better with your button inputs thanks to the accessibility

I'd suggest trying it out with a controller first and see if you like that before investing a good amount of money into a fight stick. Double Helix seems to be taken care of controller players too, so hopefully it'll play great on the Xbox One controller.


EDIT:
There is a fightpad?

Oh I meant with what they're doing with the right thumbstick, seems interesting.

When I got a PS3 last year, I played all the exclusive fighters on it on a DS3, and got used to it well enough. Then around it's year anniversary, I happened to get my 360 stick dual mod'd... And while it's been great for many things, it's not like Night and Day. More like a normal day and a great morning, ha.

The new D-Pad has Microswitches inside, correct? It's basically built on the inside similar to a Joystick, or a Neo Geo Pocket stick, anyway. That's a great thing for a console-standard stick; should feel very good, once one gets used to it.

The R-stick for breaks and combo-buttons sounds like a great assistance, and the buttons seem easily remappable, and combo-binds could be used, if one really wants to. Sounds like pad is a viable option for all preferences, if one gives it a bit of time.

Using my Sega Saturn PS2 pad with my 360 with a converter has been awesome when I go to my girl's place and don't want to lug my stick there. It's gonna be hard to get into new D-Pad focused games on these new consoles without the Sega Saturn pad.

Cool, will do. I hope I can actually get into this bad boy - it looks immense!

Excited for Orchid footage this week.

We should probably make a new thread on Thursday since there will be at least one new character reveal (Spinal) and maybe two. That along with Orchid gameplay, accessories, and alternate costumes should make it one hell of a stream. Can't wait.

Do we know what time the footage will be posted? I'll be on a plane for 8 hours Thursday night so I want to know if I will miss it.

The stream is 5pm pacific I believe.
I thought it was noon pst

Directly from the Page:

On October 31st at 12pm PDT/3pm EDT, IGN and Double Helix will be bringing you two hours of never-before-seen gameplay -- including the reveal of Orchid -- from the Xbox One exclusive Killer Instinct.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/10...iller-instincts-orchid-training-mode-and-more

12 Pacific, 3pm Eastern. Last for 2 hours. And then the Twitch Stream with PlayXBLA should start right after that, if things go right on all ends.

I'll post this in the arcade stick thread when I get a chance . . . But Markman was kind enough to take me up on my offer / challenge to make some custom artwork for the KI Fightstick. As the unit allows for a customizable face, I started working up some theme concepts (yeah, I'm all about the themes) that, for now, center on KI.

It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.

Seriously tho, amazing work. It is possible that in the future, I could get you to design a logo for a
super special super secret KI related video project
?

Good job m0dus, as usual.
I wanted that template too, FUUUU. D:

I am currently working on a KI retro poster in the vein of this ( http://mdk7.deviantart.com/art/Hyper-Light-Drifter-Poster-402620161 ), and the whole design might fit the controller.

A sneak peek (mind it's still a WIP!)

Certainly. I want to know what style people are really going for, though, because I can develop it further, make some variants.

Personally I like the "tech" design. I'm a big fan of minimalism, which is probably why I'm so turned off by the stock artwork.

is it confirmed we're getting a snippet or are we just assuming that?

Its assumed to be just a snippet like orchid and Sadira

Thankfully we don't have to wait so long for the full reveal and character 8 tease this time as there is only 3 weeks until launch

Last gap orchid to now (spinal?) was 5 weeks :s

Cool beans, are you doing one for each character?

Yup, as i said i plan on making something similar to that Hyper Light Drifter Poster i created a few weeks ago.
It will be a full composition, kinda like this other one here ( http://mdk7.deviantart.com/art/Juventus-Heroes-370201748 ), dedicated to the first 6 KI characters.
Sabrewulf is my favorite, so i started with him... i just need some time to do the others now! :D

Oh and thanks everybody for the positive feedback guys.
It the whole design comes out nice, i'll try to create something for the arcade stick as well, to have it printed in case someone wants it.

We should start a list here soon of who's planning on getting the game at launch so we can all have people to play with. Seem legit?
