I believe the boat catches fire
No, we don't! And that's after this version was confirmed nine months ago, which makes me frustrated!!
They did talk about the PC version a tiny bit on the stream, but I could barely hear them because their mics were terrible. They did mention that the PC version has graphics settings that can make it run on low-end machines around here, so that's something.
I'm asssuming the jorts are for his John Cena alt skin
only 8 lol? that's still good.
They pretty much confirmed both of these things.
Adam polled people on what shadow character they want next.
And they also said they were planning on another community fund where people could vote on more stages, characters, or features.
When was this?

For this game? Not that I know of.
In general, there's the Forza Apex trailer, and a few screenshots for QB, but... you're right, it is kinda thin on the ground.
But then like 80% of the PC talk I've seen has been about the windows store and UWAs in general rather than about the games, so maybe I'm just not looking in the right direction

I really don't know what to buy, guys. Like other users, I only have season 1 thanks to GwG and there are so many versions available I'm lost. Season 3 is so, so tempting...

Okay, so, it's like this:
Each season comes in 2 basic versions. Just... the season, and the Ultra edition. The Ultra edition comes with all the costume doodads and also KI 1 and KI 2 for S1 and S2, respectively.
If you already have S1, you have all the S1 characters. If you want S2 characters, you can either buy the season or pick them up individually.
Well, this is some wall guy level quality right here.

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation!

"Retro stages are possible, perhaps as part of the tournament community fund - but their development is expensive"
And then this straight from Adams Twitter
https://mobile.twitter.com/ishmae1/status/683688840943423488
I could have sworn he posted or retweeted a photoshopped "shadow maya" picture on his Twitter. But I'd have to go pretty far back to find it. Seems like he said he'd like to do a shadow orchid, maya, or Kim wu in an interview as well.
Looks like that was in the CrazyLCD interview.
The first community fund was really successful. I don't see them passing up the opportunity to do another one with a bigger scope
Yeah I think it'd be silly if they didn't do another one. The success of the last one proved that the community is willing to invest in the game. Why not take advantage of that again, you know?
Shadow SabreWulf completely consumed by the dark magic and his Animal instinct he's fallen to the darkness.

So, as we already know for quite a while through the character silhouettes, Eyedol and Gargos are pretty much confirmed. Pretty much for Shadow Orchid and that leaves that new character with a bow. 9th character might indeed be a pleasant surprise.
Also, for the PC version, every news outlet's headline is in the vein of "KI season 3 coming X1 & PC on Mar. 29th". Do we have official confirmation that the PC version is launching with all the 3 seasons on the WIN10 store or just Season 3, like all news media claim and more importantly, like FM6 Apex? This is MSFT we're talking about and all info are pretty clear about S3. It's weird because there's no info on pricing to even narrow down on this or any info of S1+2 on PC.

The entirety of Killer Instinct will be on PC. It's been that way since it was first announced.

Yeah, I get the crossbuy/crosssave/crossplay announcement last year and it does make sense. Just a little bit weird that there's no mention of S1/2 anywhere for PC.
Also, what happens to folks who got S1 for free during the GWG promo and doesn't renew their LIVE subs? Do they get their S1 locked out and have to buy it in order to continue using it on PC, as everyone gets to "own" the game license only for X360 GWG, and not X1?

I thought Eyedol was 100% confirmed not to be returning no?
So Gargos, and 3 other new characters left right?

Not sure about that yet. I'll make sure to get clarification on this for the OT.
You wouldn't be "locked out" as the game is free to play...you would just revert to playing with the rotating character/costumes. That would be the only thing you would be locked out of. You would "own" the game but you wouldn't "own" the content that was given to you in the promo.
Then I'm in. Not that much into fighting games, but gotta vote with my wallet, and I want to see more Cross-Buy (looking at you GOW:UE).

So what is this going to cost? Also, the ultra-combo link says I can play on both platforms using Live. Does this mean I need to pay for online play?
