That looked like a Mortal Kombat character.
I was told Riptor (or at least a dinosaur) will 100% be there by one of the devs at E3.
Don't think he will be there at launch, but probably the 7th or 8th character is him.
And i'm totally fine with it!

Riptor has a slim chance of making it in the 8 character roster. I'd love to see him though.

I was thinking Maya if it's an existing character. Really no idea though, but I like it a well.

Honestly when I first saw the title, I pictured something really awesome for the new character because of 'Spider Witch' so I ended up disappointing myself a bit from the design. Lol.
I'm curious as to what they would do with Cinder, design wise. Obviously Glacius changed quite a bit.
Also, I would want Cinder pretty soon only to quiet down my lover. XP She mains Cinder as well.
Yup.
Cinder used to be my main.

I can see them expanding on Spinal's energy absorption ability. Maybe they'll make him similar to Painwheel and let you charge his attacks and absorb incoming damage to deal back to the opponent. I could also see them turning him into a puppet character like Carl Clover. Give him another skeleton to control, or let him pull off his skull and control it independently like Ms Fortune's head.
Besides that, a stance character wouldn't surprise me. Orchid could switch between human and cat stance, or Kim Wu could have different martial arts stances.
The only other archetype I could think of is a character that relies on flight mode. They could give Fulgore jet boots, but i don't know if that's different enough from this new character.
I'm guessing Cinder will either be a lava man or have a Ghostrider style flaming skull.
Yeah I don't expect Riptor or Skeletor to be in the first eight. I just want them eventually.

Awesome move! Loving the complaints up in here "well I won't buy an xbox one until you give me the exact character I want" - grow up and stop being a baby.
New characters are great, this game has got me so hyped.

I was pleased with the look of sabrewulf, glacius, and thunder. Back to dissappointed with whoever the hell this is. (I really think it is Kim Wu)
the character looks like she offers a unique play style comparatively to the rest of the cast so far. I am interested to see how air juggling works within the ki systems - from the trailer for thunder it looked like he was going to have to rely on grappling but from the post reveal streams, everyone seems to play him just like Jago, wulf, and glacius.

My thoughts exactly.
Im surprises its a MK type character, didnt expect that. But it looks like a lot of fun to play here with the air juggles. After playing KI at Gamescom yesterday my hype level is thru the roof.

Looks like a MK character :/
KI characters are suppose to be rip offs of other characters. KI was made by taking different parts of SF and MK and merging it all together.

anyone think this could be orchid still?
1) Orchid is a spider
2) There is that Orchid green represented in her head dress and torso.
3) Her flexibility is demonstrated in her move set and stance.
4) Devs or maybe mick said that music was being worked on for a girl that used to be a cheerleader, eluding to a sig redesign.
5) Orchid's story was that she was some type of gov assassin right? This new person looks to be some type of assassin as well
6) KI2's Orchid had thigh highs and this woman has black thighs highs that are all cut up.
hmmmmm
If this is orchid (gone to the dark side) i'm not sure I want that although classic skin should be included too so who knows

I want to play as a Dinosaur. As a 90s, non feathered Dino. Not a Lizard, Not a Chicken but a Dino.
Give me Riptor.
Give me Riptor.
If this turns out to be the case, I am holding you personally responsible!
This is the only thing that would be worse than Orchid/Fulgore not being in the initial line-up.
Sure, but Killer Instinct characters always kinda looked like Mortal Kombat characters.
While I like the look of this character it would be pretty shitty to redesign Orchid like this.
There is going to be a new MadCatz KI stick.
The question is if my SFIV fightstick would also work still, I guess not

Some responses in this thread...
How dare Double Helix make a 100% new character for a franchise that has been gone for a long time and many people don't know or care about? And with such a bland design to boot, where's my girl with skimpy leotard and laser weapons?

Yeah, there's a Madcatz TE announced.

This game is F2P, every character is DLC bait.
I think what he means is Orchid is going to be part of the additional characters, not part of the 8 that you can get by paying $20.
Any idea if it will be good? Or when you can pre-order it?

Yes it should be a great stick, it's based on the tournament edition design. Pre order will be available but haven't heard any new updates on it yet.
They want you to be interested in the second round of DLC, so either Orchid or Fulgore will be released with season 2 as a headliner.
