This game doesnt get enough credit in this new gen. It might be the best game out for the new systems - and it keeps getting better. Such a unique way to release a fighter in bite sized chunks - it will keep people coming back in the long run. The character adjustments in this update are great - particularly Fulgore who is a total beast now with the meter recharge. I just need a 6 button fightpad already.

So Adam just confirmed on the forums that we'll notice what the 10% did RIGHT AWAY. Interesting. I just hope it's performance based on somehow noticed in the trailer.

So damn ready! Give me the goods!
The Mad Katz KI TE2 arcade stick is top notch, best stick I've ever used.
They seem to be pretty rare though

So someone will be happy at least since those 4 seem to be so requested.

The only one I care about.
No Riptor = Season 2 is dead to me.
Cinder and Riptor please. Never liked the KI2 additions.
Calling it now, it's gonna be Cinder and Tusk. Riptor will be a selling point for Season 3 (which I reaallllyy hope happens).
Cinder and Tusk are my guess, shit, I'll be happy with whomever they add

Pretty much exactly how I feel.
I really want Kim Wu and I'd be okay with either Cinder or Riptor.
Fuck Tusk.

You won't be able to take screenshots of her anyway, so you might as well just wait for Season 3 when screenshots will probably be available.
Hmmm...Riptor would be a reason to make a lot of people buy 3..lol.
I wasn't a fan of playing as Riptor really, but always though he looked cool.
wouldn't you want riptor and kim wu then? :>
I believe the same, Cinder was a given from end of TJ Combo trailer. Kim Wu since I voted for her when the game was first announced + female representation.
riptor is an it lol

I microwave steaks.
I never played the old KI so I have no attachments to any old characters. I feel left out
It's ok, while I did play them breifly, I don't really have any attachment either. So in the end it just makes me have no expectations!

cinders theme is basically a backup to the main theme

The only way I can see Tusk is that if they go for the Tusk/Maya marriage thing in regards to KI2. Which would fucking suck because Tusk is a fucking chump and Maya can do better, but it's definitely plausible.
I really like this delivery method overall; I really like the idea of fighters growing alongside a playerbase, and constant evolution and new ideas being poured into a base game. I wish there were more series ready to meet us so early in the gen like this.
I also love how quick the fan-requested changes can occur in an update-friendly model like this. It's great to see issues like Fulgore's gameplay addressed before the 4th iteration of a game years and years after it's initial release...

For those who were mentioning value for the game, I rather like what I get with the product; 2 ports of old arcade games I've never had solid official ports of before, and a few bonus costumes that can actually be mixed and matched for a bit of personality.
A few things I think often get glossed over in the value proposition, are the Dynamic soundtracks, and a stage per character. I really disliked how many games started to drop these things in the more recent console generations. Those elements of character building shouldn't be lost in this modern gaming age. If anything, they should become more prevalent, with the ease of reusing animation between models, and the availability of downloadable updates, allowing for new content after a games release.
And lastly, all updates to the game are retroactive to the old content, as well. Every character is getting tutorial stuff added in over time. Every character is getting story content. And you have some nice tools that even the bigger fighters haven't all assimilated yet, like Frame Data and hitboxes right out of the box. Everyone's getting a chance at any new tool that's added to the game.
The digital special edition thing isn't perfect yet, surely. *They really should let a person upgrade their combo packs to ultra easily.* But I do have to say I much prefer this, than trying to hunt down price-increasing limited editions at retailers, of needing to worry about stores gutting the box and losing it's contents.
Even if I don't like the old KI's as much as I used to, I still think their inclusion with a rather solid new game that has a variety of constantly refined features that go beyond the standards, is a good value. It stands right along side Plants VS Zombies: Garden Warfare as a game I feel like I've very solidly gotten my moneys worth out of, in this more current generation.

hmmm I'm guessing Cinder and Tusk!
I didn't play old KI, but even I know their will be major meltdowns

Also on the Cinder/Tusk train. We already got one returning female so I think they'll save Kim Wu for next season. Also since Tusk is probably on the bottom of that list popularity wise, they'll throw him in this season because he won't be much of a draw as one of the only two returning characters next season.

Agreed. If they do Tusk the right way he could be awesome with that giant sword gameplay, though.

I've been meaning to do something like this, would be great to start with Riptor...
Tears of joy?
