Ummmm, you better do a double take on the developer bud.
It's weird, I said KI is my most anticiped game for the line up, and now I'm watching an old ER episode and guess what:
Coincidence? I don't think so!
I see what you did there.
I'm probably quite behind, but any word on Polygons review yet? I'm curious about that one for certain reasons.
They couldn't even afford an 8.5Dat xbox money hat

The one character thing is stupid. I understand the F2P model is pretty attractive to the fighting genre, but I think others are doing it better (mainly Namco).
When I get my xbone I'll buy all characters right away, but I'm not looking forward to seeing the same one characters over and over again as an opponent online...
"60 dollars is too expensive. I'll wait until the price comes down on sale. Why can't games release for less?"wow only 6 characters and no arcade or story mode.... and it still gets 8's? ugh... sorry but this is not a complete game and should not be scored

Polygon 11/10
But seriously, the ONLY review anyone will need is this:

Surprised at some of the scores. It's a game with 6 characters and no character endings, it's obviously not finished but it gets some 8's... Interesting.
Any good video reviews? I want to see someone kicking ass.

...it'll remind me too much of Vanilla SF4's launch and everyone choosing Ken
I'm afraid of confirmation bias among Microsoft-leaning gaming media (following the last generation of Xbox 360 dominance) having an adverse effect on review scores.
No video reviews but nice for watch:

Tekken Revolution is damned fun to play, DOA5 U:CF is good too but I think Namco's model is better. Lost Swords focus on single player will ruffle feathers though.
For as long as you are allowed to play it before you run out of energy/stamina/tickets and have to pay or wait.
Let me download the game for free, try the characters via a free rotation, decide who I want, IDEALLY play the game with the free rotation characters and earn in game points/coins/etc, buy the character I want, buy the costume I want for the character I want, save $50 or more by not having to buy the rest of the characters who I don't want to use, and play the game with my purchased main whenever and for how long I want to.
How is it possible LoL has been around and gotten so popular, but no fighting dev will look at its perfect F2P model?
I've watched this like 5 times already. I love the dynamic music.
This is taking inspiration from LoL and will rotate the character. They haven't said on what the time limit is yet, though.
Is KI Arcade available day 1 if you buy the $40 version?
Yep. Thankfully, the DLC is actual DLC and not cut game content masquerading as DLC, but I still wish they had more time to develop.Decent reviews, but seems a little barebones, even for a digital-only title. I guess it's going to be one of those DLC-heavy titles?
Is it sad that this (KI 1) and Zoo Tycoon are the two things almost convincing me to keep my Day One edition preorder?
Personally, I hope fighting game devs use the DoTA model and not LoL. I would want everybody there, and you are buying costumes and stuff like that, instead of the rotating characters and buying them. Just my opinion on it.
But it's a fighting game.
You have a main.
I want Bison and his costumes, but not T.Hawk, Ken, Rufus, etc.
In LoL you can get costumes for free because you get in game money, in Valve games (talking from experience with TF2, maybe DotA2 is different) the limited drops and random factor (and goddamned motherfucking crates) makes it unfeasible to get what you want without shelling out.

You guys serious about only having your "Main's" available? I want every character whether I use them or not.
How can one even determine who to main without having all the characters?

You have to pay for Skins/costumes in lol. They are not acquired with in game currency.
Actual matches, like in arcades before training mode was a thingand you would still have to learn the match ups and how your character's hitboxes interact with everybody else's hitboxes in training mode. How would new people even learn who to main? We have been playing for years, so we have set preferences.
If like SF5 used a LoL model, how would you practice against everybody's moves and match situations?

Exactly, but I quoted someone being fine with only the characters they want instead of all, they support the business model, read the quote, then my response.
