bear thunder (and ok, OG killer instinct) may have sealed the deal for day one for $40.

those are awesome (aside from thug orchid)
 
I like how Orchid's looks are all unique. You got angry punk, cool sci-fi, and sexy commando. If you don't like one, just get another.

Sadira's mask is AWESOME and kinda creepy. Too bad none of her outfits emphasize the spider theme more.

Yeah, I like how different they all are for Orchid, as well. Kinda like a bunch of swaps for characters out of Tekken in the old days, or the swaps or different characters in a Beat em'up.

I'm surprised Sadira doesn't have HUGE SPIDER LEGS or anything of that sort with her outfits. It's actually kinda nice to see...

Kuma NOOOOO! ;n;

*sees orchid*

Rhianna NOOO!

XD

The style melds elements of SF and MK's looks, much the same way the original KI did. It's looking great to me, these costumes are fun and I like that you can mix and match the parts.

One of the better viewpoints here. It's got a personal unique fusion that's somewhat nice to see. The customization of them propels them rather far forward, beyond the static "You might get lucky and get an alt without a jacket for color 10!" stuff SFIV had.

holy shit, bear thunder is awesome. as is rent a hero / bubbegum crisis orchid

*Highfive* I love how "Retro Future" the suit looks for her. The late 2000s, as envisioned by the people in the 80s and 90s! That's actually perfectly fitting for KI.
 
This is definitely the first thing I'm downloading on Xbox Live on the 22nd.
Live speeds that day will probably stop me from finishing the download until the 23rd lol
 
As an aside, Bubblegum Crisis is the best fucking anime ever. Megazone 23 is up there too

i'd kill for an awesome vanquish style bubblegum crisis game. complete with priss and her rock band's rocking 80's rock as a soundtrack.
 
Bear Thunder? Wait a second here.

Bear head, toothy necklace, yellow shorts...

It's happening.
Very subtle Banjo reference there, Double Helix
 
I found myself wanting to look at these without constantly scrubbing the video looking for them! So... Screens!


I've got my BGC Knight Sabers-a-like outfit, now I want to be able to turn her next alt into a Kei of Dirty Pair outfit, complete with red Kinda-Afro hair! ;)
 

WHY DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS?!?! AnimEigo! The guys are a few hours away from me, in my mother's hometown, and I find out about them releasing a fav. series of mine by talking about KI... makes no sense!

New console purchasing has kept me from wanting to spend money on things, but this... This is special. Tonight, a Hurricane! ~Say YES!... to Kickstarter...~
 
These are horrid.

Agreed. Some of these arts and costumes have no style what so ever. Ugh. Feel tacked on. I'm not feeling this game's cosmetics and aesthetics at all.

At least the game is "good" though when I played it at Gamescom and the Microsoft party at TGS, but... I'm sorry, I'm not "feeling" the game still like KI1 and 2. *sigh...
 
Yeah...I expected a little better from the accessories. Orchid really got the short end of the stick. Please let classic costumes not be a let down.
 
Have they said wether or not the classic costumes have their own accessories?

They mentioned costumes would have unique accessories before. No idea how well this still pans out. For now, I'd just expect them to be default sets, and for any more than that to be bonus.

My personal desire would be for the Classics to come with their own accessories, and then to allow mixing and matching between all "8" (or "6", depending on how you look at it) sets across both costumes.

These are horrid.

They're adding EVEN MORE onto already complex designs, so I can see how they don't fit everyone's taste. In the future, I hope additional costumes start with less, and then let the add ons be more personal, so that they don't all have to be so busy.

But overall, for optional parts that can be mixed or matched to your liking, I really like them. It's more interesting and unique than making simply 1 more alt, but yet not so different that it's a secondary costume. And the idea that future costumes will also have accessories (that can apparently be shared between costumes) should lead to a lot of fun mix and matches.

Yeah...I expected a little better from the accessories. Orchid really got the short end of the stick. Please let classic costumes not be a let down.

I'm surprised they actually gave her PANTS. Capcom was chicken to ever give Cammy some real pants, figured she'd suffer the same fate. And most of hers are actually pretty unique looking, and she even gets a form of her original Light Batons with the future-suit. In all reality, I think Glacius gets the worse, because I'd rather have seen things like changing his insides, or giving him different weapon shapes.
