Halo and Gears are Microsoft's top IPs, so it makes sense to include RAAM over someone from an obscure game like Phantom Dust.Missed opportunity if it's true. Phantom Dust is the perfect well to draw from for great characters if they were to do a 3rd guest character. Maya already has a costume that's specifically a call out to it as well so IG very obviously knows about PD.
Yeah.. The list is missing Rash and 2 additional characters.Why would no1dead discard Gargos and only mention 5 characters?
Spill all the beans, dude.
We're lucky we get the support we do with KI. IG has made miracles happen with their insane deadlines and a low budget. They really are insanely talented and don't get the recognition they deserve IMO
Yeah, watching the shit they get by the FGC for Killer Instinct is more than annoying.
Both double helix and iron galaxy took something that could have nothing more than a nostalgia cashgrab, and made a legit fighter thats both amazing to watch and amazing to play.
they consistantly do cool shit for their community, like the shago fundraiser or the livestream balance changes for S3, and they do it all with the budget of my lunch basically.
Still, they find ways to innovate and continue to impress.
How many fighting games see all charachters used in big tourneys?
How many fighting games have completely different rules for a large percentage of the cast, and yet still maintain balance?
How many fighting games have the god tier netcode this game has?
but none of that shit matters cause "lol, xbone (and now W10) exclusive"

As much as I like leaks...I appreciate the IG/MS team who work on KI that I'd rather get the information as they want to give it out.
All of MS tent pole franchises are in now. Halo,Gears and Battletoads.

I'd like it that way too...if it was more reasonable. What was the point of having us wait until MARCH to find out the release date? Why still no pricing info? Why only three stages? There's been a pretty big failure (imo) in regards to the marketing and PR of this game. I would have rather learned about Shadow Lords in full from them directly...but we still don't even know pricing.
Would it be really hard to give us a road map or release stuff? Things to look forward before launch? Killer Instinct, back in S1, was all about being transparent, no we're luck to get a damn launch date.

Rare related games have a serious issue here on GAF. No one wants to give KI and Sea of Thieves a chance because they would have to either get an Xbox or use the Windows Store. It keeps discussions of these down to a minimum and I hate it.
Maybe I'm in the minority but I'd much rather games keep things under-wraps until release rather than blowing their load early only for their fanbase to inevitably get overhyped and disappointed when it hits. I don't give a shit about how early I know about content, but it's cool to get a load a good surprises when I actually play it.
I wish Fable was still one of the big franchises. Jack of Blades could have been a great guest character.All of MS tent pole franchises are in now. Halo,Gears and Battletoads.
It is a tadpole franchise, though!Battletoads is hardly tent pole.
god I hope they're making a new one
Plus the obnoxious "Rare has no talent lol" posts.Plus, there's the inevitable "Fuck this give Banjo" posts. We get it, you love mascot platformers, Yooka-Laylee is over thataway.
Leak confirmed lol
So we have..
Rash
Kim
Tusk
Arbiter
Kira
General RAAM
Gargos
8th character might be another Shadow (probably Orchid) or another guest
There's your 8.

That's typically fine but the way it's handled for KI has been atrocious.
We're less than 3 weeks from launch and we only know of four characters and the total amount of characters and stages for the season. We're still left in the dark about pricing, pre-ordering, new UI, new modes, accessories, whether they are making changes to existing modes, etc.
There's just way too much stuff that's being kept wrapped up, which would be fine if the game was being released in a couple months, not a couple weeks.
Bonzi Buddy got robbed.Word is they just leaked the season 4 list:

shiit is gonna be fire.
I'm just sitting here hitting refresh waiting for no1dead to bring more goodies, lol.
I'm thinking Shadow Lords could be some kind of mini game? Like that iOS game about a global virus.

edit: Nurburgring confirmed playable map
A third guest character? Come on now. No need to dilute the KI "universe" so much for the sake of desperately appealing to people who are fans of other completely unrelated games. I really don't like that.
Wait... Clippit isn't a playable character?? Fuck this game!
according my sources, Clippy will be featured in the new Dojo mode, called "wait, thats not what i wanted"
everytime you pick a new lesson, clippy drops down and teaches you how to open your endokuken in MS paint.
Well I mean there are 2 more people that I can't go over or find any information about.
