The latest addition to the new Killer Instinct coming out on the Xbox One appears to be Chief Thunder.

The big hint is the tomahawk.

Jago
Sabre Wulf
Glacius
Chief Thunder

 

[keit4]

Shitty teaser. And pathetic crowd.

 

[oSoLucky]

I wish they would have shown more than just a Tomahawk hitting a tree tbh, maybe the character model or something. Evo is a good place to unveil something of the sort, being that the majority of fighter fans worldwide are there or watching.

Also, WHERE'S B. ORCHID!?!?

 

[Kandinsky]

One of my mains back in the day, noe bring Orchid and Fulgore please.

 

[Ramocalypse]

Someone over on the double helix forum said that the reveal was after Marvel?

 

[Camp Lo]

Shit's looking like the next Tatsunoku with this exclusivity, can only hurt the series.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Shitty teaser. And pathetic crowd.

One and done, now I'm going to get a pop tart.

 

[abadguy]

Shitty teaser. And pathetic crowd.

Agreed. Still curious how he will look . I was hoping for Orchid though, it's a bit of a sausage fest ATM.

It's a first party game.

Is Thunder's headress a mohawk of feathers implanted in his skull?

Nah, just crappy 90's character design.

[InflictedOwned]

Not really sure how they're going to be revealing any new characters... I mean, there's ComicCon and what else? Doesn't look like the character pool is going to be any bigger than the original cast at this rate.

 

[Ricerocket]

Meh. Never liked or used him. Hurry up with Cinder and Fulgore!

 

[pixlexic]

Shitty teaser. And pathetic crowd.

That is rather negative.

People can not be excited unless it is something you like?

Comic Con
Gamescom
PAX Prime
TGS

He was telling the truth

anyways

what a terrible let down after they were hyping it up

 

[oSoLucky]

I think the booing is what's being referenced here. It was pretty tasteless.

It's not the first time a fighting game is exlusive to 1 console.
Tatsunoko was just on a console no one used for fighting games. I think this might have a chance, since it will be the only next gen fighter for a long time.

 

[Guymelef]

C-C-C-C-C-C-Chief Thunder.

 

[Degen]

Shitty teaser. And pathetic crowd.

sorry they weren't paid to cheer like the back rows of the E3 crowd

 

[Winterfang]

That is rather negative.

Is true. Terrible teaser (we where promised a reveal) and a pathetic fan boy reaction.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

I don't get how this is a reveal. Are we not supposed to assume they'll use the old cast and act shocked when one of them appear?

 

[IOnEI Falcon]

I think the booing is what's being referenced here. It was pretty tasteless.

I agree the booing was really rude but it wasn't directed towards KI yeah? It was when the guy from Mad Catz brought up MS. Either way, uncalled for.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Game looks better than the Netherrealm games. Up the damage and lower the window for a combo breaker and they might have something.

 

[King Allant]

Shitty teaser. And pathetic crowd.

agree

 

[Camp Lo]

All I'm saying is one can only hope the FGC picks this up and supports it; I wouldn't bet on it but we'll see.

Well, you have classier ways to show how much you dislike something.

 

[pixlexic]

I think the booing is what's being referenced here. It was pretty tasteless.

I only saw it from the part he marked it from. the last few secs. all i heard was cheering.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Paid for segments at Evo always get booed. Especially if they go on too long.

They need to realise people want to see the tournament finals on Sunday, not constant breaks for adverts.

 

[Moaradin]

They started chanting When's Marvel during the exhibition.That was pretty damn disrespectful.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

What's with the teasers?. Isn't most of the roster returnining?

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

People were cheering the Injustice trailer. This was just dumb endless combos that kept getting randomly broken while a silly announcer shouted like a spastic. That reaction was earned, the thread here reacted the exact same way.

 

[ffdgh]

Interesting...Would love for riptor to somehow return

Spoiler

from the dead

 

[pixlexic]

I hope they realize the days of 7 playable characters in a fighting game are long gone.

Really? Honestly, i'm shocked.

 

[abadguy]

Really? Honestly, i'm shocked.

Especially for an X1 exclusive! Who would've seen that reaction coming?!

 

[MCD]

It's starting as F2P.

The devs and MS are playing it safe. Good thing because I don't wanna see another Rare IP dying on retail and never coming back.

I could say the same for your beloved mahvel.

 

[impact]

It's probably a mixture of that, and how poor this game looks.

Injustice trailer was 2 minutes, not 30 minutes with on-stage demos.

 

[abadguy]

Compared to what exactly? Injustice? lol

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I called it, and people booed. I should stop guessing at reveals.

 

[DopeyFish]

uhhhh...

it certainly doesn't look poor in any way.

 

[T.O.P]

It's probably a mixture of that, and how poor this game looks.

wait what

 

[impact]

uhhhh...

it certainly doesn't look poor in any way.

Do you play fighting games?

 

[DopeyFish]

Do you play fighting games?

Yes. Do you?

oh wait you must be one of those that thoroughly enjoys overpowered ultra moves, unblockables and trashy gimmicks.

 

[abadguy]

Do you play fighting games?

Just about all of them, well most anyway. Which is why i am wondering how this game looks "poor" especially when you had Injustice out before it.

 

[JudgeB]

Do you play fighting games?

Have YOU played this fighting game?

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Do you play fighting games?

Ermm. I hate this direction and it looks like an amazing fighting game.


but yeah, being a X1 exclusive has nothing to do with it. It was a 30 min advert inbetween the finals. You can respect people not wanting to see this shit.

 

[Spacebar]

Should rename it Blue Instinct. Every character is blue and the stages are mostly blue. Also, stop the zooming in and out during combos. It gives you a headache when watching. The teaser was lame too because it didn't even show a new character.

 

[macewank]

these teasers are kind of ridiculous.

have MS/Double Helix made any indication that they won't be bringing the entire roster to this game? I know they mentioned that the roster would be "small" but all things considered, neither KI game really had a large roster of characters. I mean, is anyone going to be surprised when they announce TJ Combo or Fulgore next? I know I won't be
