How did Killer Instinct make it bros?
Beats me. By all means, the new KI should have crashed and burned. How it succeeded and is still living in its third season is a mystery to all.
>xbone and now win10 only
It could have been so much bigger..
Perfect roster
Perfect OST
Perfect gameplay
This is how a game survives being xbone exclusive, being developed by double helix, then being maintained by iron galaxy and a dead IP from Rare
>that spinal OST
>>337102180
and it still had 6 million players last month
It was the only thing the XBox one had for a while
>>337102420
this is true
but season 1 was a bit shit
>western "fighting" "game" "community"
>>337102407
"Players"

>hating Rico Suave

>made it
You can't even get as many participants at EVO as a dead game like UMvC3. The only reason you're even still around is because of money being thrown around. Nobody cares about you and no one ever will.

hi capcom!!!
>>337103045
You got less players than Weeb Animu Fighter #12512512 too. Killer Instinct is worthless. When the money runs out you'll be gone, just like Pokken and Mortal Kombat.

Surprising depth and solid gameplay.
The presentation is a bit too "western" for lack of a better word but the systems and roster are fantastic and the players didn't bail on it like most weeb fighters.
>>337103098
To be fair you seem pretty fucking angry and spiteful that KI is successful
>>337103464
I'm glad SFV is bombing though. What a shitshow, launching with barely any content just so it can make it to EVO and Capcom Cup in time. It's pathetic of Capcom especially when there was no problem with letting IV ride another year.
>>337103523
Who?
Killer Instinct actually being revived successfully has been one of the only great surprises of this gen.
>>337106094
Phantom Dust being revived twice will be the next
>Japanese players love it so much it's becoming their side game
>More people in Japan watch KI tournaments on Nico than people own xbones in Japan
What the hell happened bros?
>>337106304
Windows 10 helped alot
>>337106304
Why do Hisako's customisables all suck
Is her default design just THAT good?
>>337102003
GG XRD (Relevator) fucking shits on it in terms of gameplay, content, graphics and a much better optimized PC version.
>>337107152
Weak falseflagging
PC Gamers have both. Both are well optimized. Can play both on PC. Both have lots of content on PC. Both are great on PC
Can enjoy both. Gonna ask draw thread for Hisako and Zappa having tea together.
Sucks to be a cuck who can't enjoy two games on one platform
>>337107482
PC doesnt have revelator, only -sign-
>>337106807
Yes
She is precious
>>337102269
If this shit wasn't Windows 10 exclusive, I'd buy it just to support the game.
Same as the other fighting games. Buy em, never play online because the inevitable assbeating I'd receive would make me seek a refund
>>337104324
if you buy a fighting game to play single player you're a retard
>>337103636
>Surprising depth!
Learning your 80 hit combo can be better applied to a game like Revelator. You know, an alive game.
>And solid gameplay
Learning your 80 hit combo can be better applied to a game like Revelator. You know, an alive game. Fighting games are already fucking guessing games...so why add MORE GUESSING GAMES TO THE GUESSING GAMES?Never actually understood the retardation of combo breakers/counter breakers. Fuck, burst system makes it so people don't RNG stuff your combos
>>337102003
>that saves an IP from certain death
I think you mean causes it to live on in a zombie state
Also I'd hardly call a community that throws money at the devs so they can have a pot for evo cause MS are too lazy a good one, I'd call it a stupid one
>>337102407
>"players"
>>337102407
>he thinks people who downloaded it to their shitty laptops not realising it won't run count as players
>>337107782
>Never actually understood the retardation of combo breakers/counter breakers.
Which is why you're meming about GG as if they're anything alike.
You also dont seem to understand KV and how it affects your combos and the breaker mindgames.
>>337107482
You're actually saying KI is as well optimized as GG XRD?
Also you need to use a shit tier OS to play KI
>>337107782
>>337108445
>t. Bitter Falseflag cuck who doesn't own a PC
>>337108445
>Also you need to use a shit tier OS to play KI
That's true of all nip fighting games though
>>337108583
Nah, GG, BB and Melty run on W7
>>337108804
>re-affirming my point
kek
>>337108519
I do, just not a retard who updated to W10 to play a medicore fighting game
>>337108852
Literally name a better OS
>>337108887
Nope. You don't own a PC at all shitty falseflagger. Stay mad while real PC gamers play both and you scream "NEVER EVER" while posting goldfaces :^)
>>337108953
gentoo
>>337109035
>implying you play either of them instead of being a PC mustard race from Reddit
>>337102003
>how did it make it?
What are the numbers for this game? Has ms finally revealed the sales number or are they still ashamed?
I dont see anyone watching the game on twitch, its like its been completely forgotten.
>>337109268
No tournaments are on, I think the next major is Combo Breaker.
There aren't really "sales" per say given the F2P model so the closest you have is that 6 million players figure they've got.
>>337102180
Or not. It's attained cult status on the Xbox alone, it would probably be burry alive among the flood of indieshit and anime games if it was released on Steam.
