Can you actually see the roster?

Yes I can play the game.

Can't or won't

Will not let me go on. I'll try forcing it and see how that goes.

So, how do you know about Mira/RAAM?

Because I can see them on the roster, and select them to use. RAAM just soft-locks the game at the loading screen, because it doesn't even have a model made for it yet. Mira actually has a rough character model setup.

This is a new and strange gamer entitlement

Come on man. The game releases in basically 3 weeks.

We don't know a price
We don't know what or if an Ultra edition exists and what it will contain
We don't know anything about the roster past these first 4 characters
We don't know about much else new

It comes out in 3 weeks. They should WANT to get us excited for the game.

It's not entitlement to want information mere weeks before release.

Thanks for the response! You're my hero.

Can you at least see all the names?

JUST GIVE US NAAAAAAMES

Price will be the same as season 2

Sometimes not announcing that much can create more interest and hype

Interesting. Although, I'm very curious as to what your character selection looks like.

Colling chill. Lmao
 
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.

Killer Instinct's "universe" is a silly world where werewolves, boxers, cyborg velociraptors, a person made of fire, and an ice alien beat each other up.

There's honestly never been a more welcoming setting for guest fighters. KI has become Microsoft's Smash Bros.

So what are the chances you can get us a picture of the character select screen?

Ha ha. I love this game so much.

Yep. I posted in the community thread that the OT for Season 3 should be Xbox Smash Bros.

Pretty much this. KI has always had a really... not just diverse but outright contradictory aesthetic to it. Jago looks like he came from a completely different game than Spinal who looks like he came from a completely different game than Fulgore who looks like he came from a completely different game than Hisako and so on. In this way, everybody sticks out like a sore thumb, so nobody does.

It's not like Scorpion in Injustice.

I'd like to leave a few things to the imagination.

Yeah, right.

Well I hope you enjoyed my leaks. There is more on the shadowlords menu but I'd rather let them explain it as I can't even use it.

I think Phil Spencer would have more complete access than that, dude.

If I'm right this is most likely the newest version of the app for Windows 10, but I'm sure its nothing compared to the Xbone version as they'd most likely be working on that first.

Also posted character select in OT.

Hmm. Interesting.

If there is no playable gargos or eyedol iron galaxy is screwing up. These two requested characters missing and only 3 stages is just bad.

Nobody's asking for Eyedol, and we already know there's gonna be 8 characters total.
 
Actually a ton are requesting for him, read the stream chats and ultra combo forums.

"A ton" meaning a vocal minority? None of my friends are asking for Eyedol; they're too hyped for Arbiter and Tusk to care about the boring two-headed cyclops. I haven't seen too many folks here or on /r/xboxone or /r/killerinstinct asking for him, either; again, they're too excited for Arbiter and the other announced characters (and the prospect of RAAM/Skorge as a guest).

The official forums seemed to have a lot of requests for him though. The old forums, which are gone, had a huge thread about him. Isgreen even participated in the discussion. Then again, I guess that could have been just a handful of members posting over and over again.

It would be interesting to hear from Isgreen if he thinks there is a strong demand for Eyedol from the community.

A vocal minority is KI. Arbiter, the PC version, Rash and Raam are just marketing tools to get more people to play the game who dont really care about Killer instinct as a franchise.

I officially don't like guest characters. Particularly in Mortal Kombat, at least these ones are video game characters.

The devs, Ken Lobb included, have said that they don't like Eyedol. The chances of him appearing are very slim imo.

God you must hate Smash Bros.
 
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"

I want to shout this from the hilltops! It's a damn shame how much shit this game gets in the FGC. I'm really hoping the PC launch is smooth and problem free. I want this game to shine and get a flood of new players.
 
Edit: Who is this ntkrnl?

I am.

None of your friends, but I have two friends who would like to see Eyedol back.

Who cares what they think, it's for the fans!! >:p
