>Even so, Microsoft is also hailing the success of The Division as one reason why global hours spent on the Xbox One are up 89 percent over last year. In addition, Microsoft is calling out Killer Instinct: Season 3 for its high engagement numbers; more than 6 million unique players make this March the best month ever for that franchise.
6 million unique users
Where were you when the greatest underdog story of this gen became true?
ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Good, it's a good fighter. SFV is too so this brand loyalty is dumb.

Im loyal to good games
SF V is not a good game, and this is what happens
>wanted it
>exclusive to spyware operating system on pc
>lose interest
c-c-c-combo breaker
Still can't believe it was made by fucking double helix games. Those guys used to be good as the former studios but suddenly started to make garbage when they formed DHG. Was surprised the game ended up being good.
I wonder how many users SFV has in comparison.
Or how many of those will stay.
>>334312950
SFV is a decent game in its base mechanics. Not great. And the content that sits on top of those mechanics is sorely lacking, and will be for conceivably the next year.
Killer Instinct has spent 3 years building up to what we have now in Season 3, but at least they managed to launch the game with a proper story mode. Also, every character is extremely unique even beyond their attacks and specials, something SFV can't claim.
SFV is a good game. Killer Instinct is just a better one.

It just took them a couple of years of development, an initial free-to-play entry level, and at least one changing of the guard.
Not to say that Killer Instinct isn't an awesome game, but it's got three years of development ahead of Street Fighter V, which skipped the arcade beta-test due to Sony shoveling money at Capcom. I'm inclined to give Street Fighter V about a year's worth of time before I dismiss it.

Are you using Windows 7 or 8?
If so, congratulations! You're already on a "spyware" operating system.
>>334317741
Put as much caveats as you want, its still a fucking impressive number.

>one shit game outperforms another
Wow, how impressive. KI is also free to play, let's not forget. Both games are embarrassments to their franchises legacies regardless.
The win 10 botnet probably silently installed it and then forced users to play it desu
Quit trying KIfags, the best players such as Daigo-sama and Tokido have already been getting comfy with SFV. The players will play what the top are playing.
SFV has a bit more depth, but I'm glad KI is finally getting the respect it deserves.
I like both though, been taking a break for Dark Souls and someHalothe past couple weeks though. Really enjoyed Alex and looking forward to Mira.

Considering the original Killer Instinct games were shit, while this one is actually very good, that doesn't really work.
>>334312047
>freemium
wew lad
>>334318334
>this one is actually very good
No, it's horrible. It is the worst modern fighter by far. The original games at least made decent party games; the reboot has nothing going for it other than particle effects. Even MK is better, and MK is shit.
>>334318208
Daigo shilling SFV won't save it from being a huge commercial flop.
>>334318474
>actually a good game with an audience that loves it
wew indeed
>>334312047
When will this level of shitposting end? Like, you're not even trying.
Pretty sure they're just counting the number of people who have Windows 10.

>SF V is not a good game, and this is what happens
>pleb casual thinks SFV is not good because he has no fundamentals, so he says that Killer Instinct is killing it due to all the imaginary numbers of free game downloads
muh kek
>>334318132
The original KI games were fucking garbage, people overrate the hell out of them because muh Rareware.
>>334318642
>MKX
>better fighting game than KI
MKX is literal kusoge, that game has zero redeeming factors whatsoever. Immediately end your existence.
>>334319085
SF bombed miserably, deal with it.
>>334319085
more like SFV is boring as FUCK to watch because its nothing but fundamentals
nothing interesting every happens in SFV.
>>334319462
>boring as fuck to watch
For normie scum. Unfortunately these fucks also dictate what's successful and what's not.
>>334319628
>normie scum
Animefag here, Your game is boring as shit to watch and it's as deep as a puddle.
I'd rather watch Ultra, smash, hell maybe vanilla 4 if I'm drunk.
>>334312047
did the models get ripped yet and does this mean season 4 confirmed?
also your comparing a game 3 years into life that everyone shat on for having no content in its first year to a game in the same situation
>>334319085
It's more like Frame Data Fighter at this point.
>>334320853
the s3 music files were ripped, it's a matter of time.
OY VEY REMEMBER THE SIX MILLION
>>334320853
The difference here is that Season 1 didn't bomb, yet had half the characters SFV did.
>>334317857
the damage control on w10 is real
>>334321578
>season 1 did not bomb
season 1 had traction it was horrible on launch that they focused on the free version
>>334322445
The "free" version IS the game you idiot, they werent two different products
>Free game vs a not free game
hmm
>>334322597
they foused on its downloads retard, they even said season 1 sluggish start was the reason season 2s budget was tiny retard
>>334313441
Street Fighter V is mechanically a good game and I think more fun to play than KI. However, in it's current state it's a terrible package for something that they're charging $60 for. Capcom really dropped the ball and rushed this shit out. Meanwhile, KI has been improving
>>334312047
>ps4 port when
>>334312047
Why do people like this series? The animations are more uncanny valley than MK it looks like something a video game character would play in a video game
>>334323863
That's kinda the point, the game is basically a clash of the tropes. Its not really meant to be taken too seriously.
>>334323863
nostalgia. confirmed underage
>>334321823
I literally screenshot this from that episode for use in this exact usage.
>>334317505
Nice bait, each character uses the exact same combo system
Footsies are non-existent
>>334319085
SFV isn't as fundamental as people give it credit for, too many characters have too many options that completely bypass them. Equally, long range/fireball game is completely absent from the game in any meaningful sense. The entire game revolves around fishing for crush counters and throws.
Whiff punishing is barely a thing because normals have no recovery and certain characters absolutely dominate the neutral game with zero effort by having massively superior normals to everyone else
