Any word on if the Training Stage will be selectable in online play? With all those KI backgrounds selectable on top of that - its like 15 backgrounds (and 15 different music tracks) in one.
Double Helix was never interested in it; they didn't see a reason to make such a plain stage available when they put so much effort into real stages that were all framerate locked, with dynamic music, and so complex in how they relate to the round structure.
I don't remember hearing IG give a specific answer on this, but there is probably one somewhere on the ultra-combo.com forums.
I think it'd be more likely we'd have classic music select for the new stages, personally. Would allow us to use all those training mode-only soundtracks, in a more interesting way then fighting on modified graph paper.
If training stage did become available, I'd love to see it be a modified version that transformed into a simple poly model of the retro stage of the person who was winning, or something of the sort. Keep all those square for people who like to use them for spacing issues, but make it more interesting for those of us who appreciate good stage design work. End it all by making the walls come down during ultra, to reveal the much-request KI classic sky stage.
I really hope we get this option as well, I like Micks stuff but itd be great to have KI1 (and 2)s tracks selectable for all the stages..or at least the classic tracks for that corresponding characters stage.
Hopefully, it's an option by the time they put the KI2 tracks into the game, as well!
Would be really interesting if the stage BG would shift from the KI1 to KI2 melodies depending on fight intensity, of between KI 1 / 3 for characters that were missing from 2, for example.

Your stick will not work on Xbox one at all. No 360 arcade sticks will. You have to buy an Xbox one arcade stick. FYI - they are also compatible with PC.
Edit: another option is the chronus max. Google it. Use with caution.

After watching more of TJ Combo.. I'm really bothered by his roll after looking at the way Maya looks whenever she rolls.

I wasn't too happy about it either!

...they ruined TJ Combo. I tried him in practice mode for a few and I hate how he plays. None of his old combos work, they removed his actual rolling punch, his auto-doubles feel weird. Just, ugh.
Maybe I could learn to hate him less over time, but that "Just like riding a bike" sensation I had with Jago is non-existent.

I felt the same way at first but he grows on you a bit, especially once you learn the juggles and how to mix in recapture/auto barrage. IMO his biggest issue is hes way too slow and his combos have absolutely no flow to them..theyre all jerky as fuck and the linker timing is weird....they ruined TJ Combo.

Im hoping against hope IG listens to a lot of the feedback and adjusts him...but even if they do it wont change his overall play style much.
Yeah this is a great idea too.

He has all of his moves from KI2... if you want old TJ go play KI or KI2 classic. He's much more fun to play in this version.

the fact that the rolling punch is now a 3+MP and he has a move that is 4,6+MP is stupid, that charging grab should be 6, 4+MP instead
they need to readjust speed for his hits, a little faster moves for non combotrait hits and keep slower moves when using the combo trait
so fat not so fun as S1 characters where balanced, I love how Fulgore works now, you don't feel struggling for bar anymore

I haven't had access to my Xbox One since last Tuesday, and I never had a chance to play TJ Combo that day...and I won't yet have the opportunity for a few more days. The wait is....is....
....
Well, it's killing me. A boxer/grappler archetype sounds really intriguing and awesome for my tastes.

I'm a casual player due to time constraints (3 kids), but I finally made the leap to online ranked last night after having unlocked all of the ending cinematics. I had played online on several occasions before and mostly got brutalized with a 40% win ratio. Finally had some luck with sadira and sabrewulf last night. Sticking with it this time. Level 5 or bust lol...(so sad).

I think Jago is the only character who plays like he did in KI1. TJ plays a lot closer to classic TJ than Thunder does. I'd even go as far as to say TJ is closer to his former self than Sabrewulf.
Please don't use Soul Calibur number pad notation for KI. While I know SC notation since I play SC, it's not common when discussing KI notations. It took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one. lol

The timing of TJ's combos just feel so off to me. Completely different from the rest of the cast. I am so inconsistent with the character. I hope he gets tweaked. Fulgore is just great now gaining meter over time. The game is far too offensive to have time to manually build meter.
I have been playing alot of KI 1 recently and something about that old game just feels more fun than the new version. I really like the new one but its missing something that the classic had. Perhaps its the super serious and dark tone of the new one? Cant place my finger on it. I like the old TJ Combo alot more than the new one for one.

Yeah unfortunately I feel the same, he's definitely lost part of what made him my favorite character from 1&2. We are getting Bayliss version of him which I have no doubt will look awesome. And who knows maybe IG is listening and still tweaking him for launch.
Adam confirms TJs alt has eyepatch and ripped US flag shirt...woot.

I'd still prefer 100% accurate recreations, but I guess that ship sailed from the beginning when they couldn't be assed to remove Jago's tattoo, and cemented with the bullshit they pulled with Thunder.

I don't really care about the tattoo but I still can't believe what they did to Thunder. Only costume I'm really legitimately disappointed in.

I know not everyone feels the same but after seeing what happened with the Season one retro skins I'm happy they aren't strictly adhering to that this go around. I'd rather they just create something they want to then to try to match fan expectations of the originals and end up with sewer rat wolf and tumor head glacius

But it goes so well with the zombie accessory.

Quality isn't the best but I threw this together today as I salivate over the semi-imminent release of the OST:

sorry I use numpad notation for every game, also never know SC uses that notation, I thought it was an anime games thing
I've only had like 20 min to play with TJ, but I like him. He was my main in 1 and 2 (and I keep trying to do a linker with cF, B+1), but I think he'll be my main again once I get used to him here. One thing though, I don't understand his combo trait, I keep trying to cancel an auto into another auto and it isn't working, did they change his trait or am i missing something?
You're going too fast, his auto doubles are much slower. So wait a sec before you link.
To do his around the world combo you should press each button twice ( at least that works for me ) in succession.
We don't know everything coming yet.
Update comes for all in less than 2 weeks
Trailer will be out before season 2 launch which should show us some stuff we are getting. There's new modes, 6 characters (but we have the tease of the mummy looking guy) and stage ultras left to be unveiled

Not sure if it's out for the public yet, I assumed it had been released by now.
I can't find it anywhere... I don't think the XB1 version is out??

Most likely then, sorry thought maybe it was out by now. Got to mess with it at a few events and it is a solid stick.
Also textual streak is up for the week:

Main thing of importance is that the launch trailer will be out 13/14th and will show the two remaining characters from the original games returning this season.

They are changing how you earn them completely, but I have no idea how current progress might translate to the new system, if at all. The only thing I remember they said is that you won't lose anything you've already unlocked
