Relatively small but DEDICATED fanbase.

I don't know, GCC are full of peicks?

It did what Evolve failed to do.

Because it's a good game

>>332587579

I don't like how there is only one free guy.
>>
>>332588828
Curious to hear why
>>
subsidized by MS

also its pretty fun, its kind alike if NRS ever made a good game and their animations and fighting mechanics and characters designs weren't completely embarrassing.
>>
Why did SFV fail?
>>
>play TJ combo
>get my shit raped regularly
>try Shago
>teleporting around all day shitting on people online

I'm not even good, Shago's just crazy fun and strong. Is he blatantly OP or something?

Xbone and Windows 10

Never played KI before.

Mostly paly 3D fighters and MK and SF.

Only got to play an hour so far. How long does it take to get used to the combo system?
I know it's supposed to be very easy, but for some reason, I am having difficulty getting used to it.
>>
Killer instinct didn't fail because it's a solid game that has new content all the time.

have content?

>>332587579
Killer Instinct is "that game" that everyone basically has to own if they were misfortunate enough to have wanted an Xbone, only because it's the only objectively decent exclusive available for it.

Sort of like how Splatoon was such an amazing success because Wii U owners were thirsty as fuck for anything decent. Or how every Vita owner owns Gravity Rush.
>>
>>332587579
Well it's basically the only xbone exclusive
>>
>>332587579
It did tho?

No one talks about / plays it.

Gears of War is for shitters.

>>332593690
Play through the entire Dojo mode, should take about 1 hour if you're used to basic fighting game inputs and controls. Will teach give you a great grasp on mechanics as well as frame data and a few other nifty things. Most of the Dojo stuff can be applied to every character except the ones that are radically different like Aria, Aganos, and a few others. I really hope they do another community fund but this time have it for Dojo for all characters, or at least combo trials for every character. They've said they're gonna have more community funds but so far they've only mentioned that the only guaranteed one is for a shadow form of one of the female characters.

Because god didn't want it to. That's literally the only feasible reason.
>developed by the developers of fucking Silent Hill Homecoming
>Reboot of a Rare franchise
>Originally developed for the 360
>Launch game
>Pricing model that retards are still confused about for some reason
>Switches developers mid development
It had literally everything going against it and still came out fantastic.

I've heard that it's a good game with a great tutorial.
>>
>>332587579
It was good despite all the odds being stacked against it.
>launch title
>xbone exclusive
>started with minimal content and would gain more over time
>an old Rare IP being rebooted
>developed by Double Helix and then Iron Galaxy

Interesting that now Capcom is following its steps when it comes to content updates.
>>
>>332599429
yes the tutorial is great for beginners, but it will still be hard because of the fast paced anture of the game. online people will be in your face immediately, making it hard for you to understand what is going on.

takes a while to get used to - neat side effect: sf will feel like it is running at a snails pace, making you better in that game at the same time
>>
>>332592149
I'd rather have Kahn desu
>>
>>332599953
KI will also help you getting used to your stick faster because of the fast paced combo system. you are doing button inputs and motions in very quick successions. try a different fighting game after a KI session and you will feel really comfortable with using your stick. it's great for a warm up
>>
>>332587579
Because they actually made a decent game.

Whereas the original Killer Instinct was ugly, shoddy, poorly balanced trash for 10 year old dipsticks.

Rare has no fucking excuse, they managed to develop Battletoads, which was damn good, and there's not exactly much difference between beat em ups and fighting games.

Hey, the most i've played of this game was the newest version at a buds house. I liked Fulgore, seemed quick to learn. Do they actually decide new fighters by voting? If they do i have to get into this.
>>
>Mira
Mite b cool

I wish I could play this on Win7 and not just 10, though.
>>
Should I just surrender to the botnet and upgrade to 10? I really don't want to, but I also want to play.
>>
>>332602931
there's that guide for disabling all that shit, isn't there?

If not, I figured eh. MS doesn't care what I'm jerking it to, and they probably knew long before I upgraded to 10.
>>
>>332602597
nah, that just looks like some popularity poll, probably on Gamefaqs or some shit.

RAAM is coming though

It didn't?
Could've fooled me, that's exactly why the crossover characters are happening, to pull in retards only playing because of said characters

The free character rotates every week, characters cost 5 each, or right now you can spend 60 and get all 26.

season 3 will still be somewhat of a disappointment if there isn't an eyedol

>dev says it's difficult to make Eyedol quoting him as a harry hausen monstrosity

you guys made a fucking golem out of floating bits and a cyclops is hard to make? i don't think people will care if he only has one head and besides the harry housen thing would be his retro skin you could completly redesign his new form and you just have to modify some of his cheap moves like you did for tusk.
>>
>>332604342
Because Eyedol is a shit design and the devs hate him

no competition on XBONE except mortal kombat which sucks cock

>>332604593
they can just redesign his new form like they did for so many (they changed gargos). the ugly form is for retro, just redesign him as a demonic cyclops or something

Atleast KI has a god damn arcade mode.
