When I first heard KI was making a comeback I was excited, but after seeing the gameplay and finding out you have to buy each character except for jago and I think saberwolf I think I'm a fall back.
I think this game is overhyped, but I don't really see why people are complaining about having to buy characters. Conceivably, you could buy every character you like and come out spending less than you would for a normal game.
