That video is not from the Microsoft tournament. That video is from Northeast Championships a couple of weeks ago.

I main Sadira and Glacius. Then Orchid. All the characters are completely viable. I just have the most fun with those 3, so I put in the most time with them and play best with them as a result.

I don't care about tiers.

Still learning my way around with Jago...I was beasting with him and Fulgore back in the day.

 

[Frankb93]

cant wait to see more

Spinal reveal. Damn. His moves, that stage, the music. And Fulgore looks ridiculously good.

So if you pay full price for the game, do you just download the characters as they come along or does each character cost a fee?

$20 is all 8 characters. No download required, they just...show up in the game once released.

Spinal is garbage SMMFH, I had such high hopes for him too. Is it me or are all the characters who were low-mid tier buffed and all the top tiers terrible now (save for Orchid) terrible ? I hope to God they don't nerf Cinder and TJ Combo.

Spinal is more of a hit & run and defensive character I find. I think he can be used well against certain characters (Sadira for ex. but then again who isn't better than Sadira ?) but he needs to be used sparingly with his moves, every time he punishes it has to be precise and worth every hit. For competitive play I suspect he sits at the bottom of the tier. He has a dive kick but quite frankly he's too slow and his style isn't for this game. If you end up going up against a rushdown character you're going to get crushed.

I'm excited about Fulgore, if the low tiers are getting buffed then he'll prolly be dope as hell.

Sion, he's been out one day. Have a seat bruh.

Enough time to make an assessment. Most people are saying the same thing. I'm all for bringing back the cast but do it right. He's not very good but he does take a very patient and dedicated player to take him up seriously. Unless we find some unblockable-lockup he's going to be bottom tier for a while.

I believe we will see a lot of counter picking to Sabrewulf in tournaments if people can't handle him with their main characters.

Do you have an XBOX One? Do you play Killer Instinct on it?

Or are you just playing vicariously through tourney idols and online tier lists?

Just curious...

 

[grumpy_new_yorker]

Amazon bought out the developer Double Helix... wonder if it's gonna affect the second season of KI.

 

[earth two superman]

kinda messed up you won the tournament and the prize wasnt an actual console.

I don't have an XB1 yet I only play KI with my homeboys and FYI I won the first XBox One tournament at the XB1 HQ Promo store in Downtown Toronto back in December. I won first place w/ Jago, grand prize a 42 Inch LG TV, a bunch of gift cards and more - and I don't even OWN the game or console. Yall know I've been playing fighters competitively for a long time. I stay close to both parts of the game. But there isn't even a strong online community for KI so theirs no point in following that.

If you have an issue with what I said it's whatever fam, give me your gamer tag and I'll show you who the best KI player on the IC is. I'm sure most ppl will agree with me in regards to Spinal tho. I aint play against one good Spinal player yet, he's too slow and his play style isn't effective against the Sabrewulfs, Orchids and Jagos of the metagame. Glacius, Thunder, Sadira, he might have a chance against other slow-keep away characters but there's not much of a cast yet in this game for that. Maybe if someone discovers some infinite-reset combo he'll either rise to the top of the cast or get banned but for now he's going to be bottom tier for the remainder of the metagame.

Actually there was a strong start of a community with the game until the recent issues with playing online at the moment.

Are you aware of the Double Helix Forums cause this is where the action is for this game...

So, anyway...the short answers to my questions were:

Do you have an XBOX One? NO. Do you play Killer Instinct on it? NO.

Are you just playing vicariously through tourney idols and online tier lists? Basically, for the most part, yes.

I understand now. My GT is: Roc Boy Live.

LOL. Um...Sion? Out of curiosity, lets say you absolutely destroy me. Lets say you put the footage up, in the Ill Community...in The Arcade...for ALLLLL to see. What exactly do you think would be the real life implications of something like that for me?

 

[earth two superman]

hes right, Sion. You might get arrested for virtual gay bashing.
