I liked the voice though. Don't play the game but the trailer was a treat.

Killer Instinct Arbiter
- Thread starter AAMARMO
- Start date
This is killer instinct tho
i do believe that's just the teaser which is missing from arbiter trailer
According to Frankie he's an "amalgamation" of all Arbiters even though he mentions the Prophet of Truth, the Flood, has Thel's Halo 5 armor, Thel's Halo 5 sword, and the stage is on Sanghelios during the Sangheili civil war which is featured in Halo 5.
There will be different costumes to represent different arbiters.
Don't sass me
Just a teaser by itself seems pretty lackluster but knowing Max it will be damn good, now that you mention it, i can see it being a montage with Kim, Rash, and Arby. Then a glimpse of Tusk or whoever
nah the trailer will just be re-released with the teaser
it happened with the kim-wu trailer trailer too... the arbiter teaser was exclusively shown on the halo twitch stream
damn halo twitch streams making the last 2 trailer reveals awkward
Tell me more..
had to do it
looking forward to trying him out, the move-set looks awesome and fits well
Hahahaha

That was a damn cool trailer. The Arbiter and the stage both look amazing.
Same Arbiter or not, it's a shame they didn't get Keith David for the voice. Not that the new voice is bad, but I would much prefer hearing the one we know and love.
This render/image won't load for me. Anyone able to rehost?

They should really consider adding a free-cam/photo-mode for instant replays or something.
Looks great.
Mjolnir Mix? Yeah that would be pretty cool. Considering that Rash's Ultra is to the beat of the Battletoads pause theme I would imagine that Atlas Plug and Celldweller will incorporate something equally appropriate for Arbiter.

Should be the opposite, they made the main theme slower and heavier
Halo is a slow, so make the Halo theme Happy Hardcore with chipmunk owww owwwww

So now I wanna see Chief and Tartarus get characters in KI.
What the hell, throw in Cortana while they're at it.

As long as its not Halo 5's Cortana I'd be cool with that but then it might not be cortana but an "amalgamation" of all Cortanas.

I remember this character from Halo 2. I think you could even play as him.

I really do not like Halo 5's Cortana.. she just looks..off. I can't really place it, but she doesn't look like Cortana really.
What does that even mean? She looks different in every game.
You really care that much about the VA? In a fighting game? In which you'll barely hear it? OK, man.

That's why I said it's hard to explain.
I suppose her character and appearance didn't really align for me this time around.

You're not alone. She looked terrible, the idiotic clothes thing didn't help.
Even better, she's already integrated in the OS

If it stays like that, that's a pretty good duo of guests. Two very different characters for two very different fanbases.

Because everyone would have definitely been extremely concerned about the canon implications for Thel 'Vadam appearing in Killer Instinct. If you got Keith it definitely would have been a source of constant complaints and angry letters to Papa Microsoft about how Thel traveled back in time to Chicago. Yeah that sounds likely and not mind-bogglingly stupid.
You don't need an excuse for a character to make a non-canon appearance in a fighting game. I'm pretty sure Darth Vader didn't really fight Yoshimitsu in the Star Wars canon. I'm guessing either Keith was unavailable, or his price was too high and Papa wanted the fiscal alternative.
I'm okay with an impersonator doing the voice for the fighting game, it's pretty normal for this sort of thing and it's not a bad impersonation. But the BS answer just sounds like stretching so hard to spin the truth in a more positive direction. Typical.
Haha

That was actually an amalgamation of all the Darth Vaders (and Yodas) in SCIV.
The build up before the Arbiter placard is definitely this track:

If you forgot where this occurred in Halo 2's campaign: https://youtu.be/ihY9yykyD1s?t=11m10s
As I said before, I wonder if it's the danger danger music that every stage has.
After the reveal, it's the familiar 8 note Halo theme slowly played out.
Thank you. You rock.

Both will launch at the same time. All we know is it's coming in March, no date yet.
Awesome. Do the XBO sticks work on PC, I have not tried yet. Would be nice so I could use two sticks then!

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Halo would be a ten times more interesting franchise if Master Chief was killed offscreen and Arbiter took his place, so I fully endorse his inclusion.
Not to me
D:
Can't really argue with that. Game-wise, he's still the best developed character in the series, and that's JUST with Halo 2.

Xbox sticks as of right now sorta work. I have the Hori RAP Hayabusa and ABXY and bumpers work but LT and RT don't work for some reason. They've said they will be fixing this with KI though, so hopefully it's an OS wide fix and not just for KI alone.
