Killer Instinct: Spinal Trailer - Fulgore Teaser

lol, your kidding right?

Along, with Spinal and the patch we also got Sabrewulf and Glacius' classic costumes.

He has never played it. Pay him no mind.

XBoxdone74 is a bias trolling Cow. Don't waste your time reading his garbage. He's never played an XB1 game in his life.

So, I've played Spinal a bit and holy god damn he's a lot of fun to play. I might have to get good with Spinal cause I have a feeling good Spinal players will blow up people up online.

I was going to say, I didn't even know this fanboy had a XBO.

Damn that soundtrack is sooooo EPIC!

The new Spinal is incredibly bad ass!!

Too bad that bias Cows, who won't get an XBOX ONE, will never get to play the new Killer Instinct which is undoubtedly one of the best fighting games ever made!!

Then the best shooter of all time is coming to XBOX ONE next, Titanfall, which may or may not be beaten by Destiny (remains to be seen) which in turn may or may not be beaten by Halo 5 (remains to be seen).

Either way, XBOX ONE is just an awesome system!!

You're butthurt. We get it already. lol!! This game looks incredible on my HDTV. It doesn't look last gen at all. If you hate it so much what are you in this thread? You don't own the game. You haven't played the game, Yet you think you know everything about it. LOL!! You're just a bias butthurt troll. Get lost kid.

One of the two must butthurt persons on SW is telling me that im butthurt. Well, you beat me by butthurt experience so i guess i'd have to believe what you say.

I getting this game come May.

That's nice but who cares? We play gameplay, not graphics. If you don't buy a fun game because it doesn't have super great graphics then that's just sad.

Yeah spinal is really cool. Don't wanna go off topic but I just noticed something weird in the game, for several characters I can chose an alternate skin by pressing up on controller.....kind of like when you chose Shadow Jago....but now I can do that with Glacius and get a cool looking skin, with a set of equipment unlocked like a bug helmet!?? Never noticed that before, could it be a glitch from the patch today or what is this lol, how did I unlock that?

The amazing sounds make it even better it is like playing with the skeleton version of the Joker lmao.

Did anyone mention Folgore!?

i'm not sorry i had to do it.

I got my answer about the new costumes apparently they are part of the new update today and you need to have the ultra edition I think....the Glacius one is sick.

The game is FREE derp...

Wrong. Idiot.

First of all it's not completely free and second of all that wasn't my point. Quit caring so much about graphics and care more about gameplay.

Yep

Yes, color 6 especially, dat mirror effect is so good!

Sabrewulf classic costume color 6 is homage to Benny, Maximilians' dog.

That reveal trailer made me wet.

Does anyone want to buy me an Xbone?

Same here im really poor right now i need that Xbox One.

I realized theres still more characters from the original games thats not in this One. I hope they release like 3 at a time if they can't do all at the same time. And with every game they introduce new characters. So I'm hoping they're working on new characters too. CCccccooomboBreeeaakkeerrr!

Yeah I wish they would've just released a full retail game in April, filled with a story mode, arcade mode, maybe an "events challenge" mode and more multiplayer options. Also, include all the classic characters like TJ Combo, Riptor, Cinder, and heck maybe even Tusk and Kim Wu. And like you said, maybe 2-3 new characters. Sadira, and 2 more plus a new epic huge boss.

The "full game" would not have been done until maybe late 2015 at the earliest, they have a plan in place to still be releasing content into possibly 2016. Season 2 has not been announced but has been confirmed, virtually all old characters will return and they are already playing around with several new character ideas for Season 2 and 3. They talk about it on the weekly streams.

Lets remember, the project was only handed to DoubleHelix literally about 15 months ago, that they've given us what they have this quick and this polished is really astounding.

You don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah, I was wrong then, maybe late 2014 then. But yes KI looks awesome. I wish I bought an Xbox One instead of a PS4. Xbox One owners get Killer Instinct while I get Killzone :(.

I hope Microsoft lets another studio develop other RARE properties. Banjo Threeie would be awesome or Perfect Dark Core. URCHIN looked pretty dang good too.

Fulgore looks incredible. That sound.

Even the original gameboy version of killer instinct was good. Never gonna get to play this one since I'll never buy a console except Wii U.

Where the hell is Riptor... he was never my favorite character, but some of the most intense battles were between Saberwolf and Riptor...

What are all the confirmed characters? This will undoubtedly be my most played X1 game for quite some time after I get one. For those that don't understand the combo system... if it is anything like the original... just hold back for a second or two and tap a button and forward... then hold forward for a second or two and press a different button and back again. Alternate to learn different combos... jump in with a couple hits into a combo, and jump attack out of combos for extra hits.. you can also air juggle by pressing down during your last attack.

Man... I put so many hours into KI on the SNES... I really hope the combo system is at least close... I heard they dumbed it down... if that is the case, I might not like it as much but it should make pulling off Ultras a breeze.

Sabrewulf with a cyborg body makes no sense at all... but looks cool.

Also. where is TJ Combo... we need some wind up uppercut and speed bag punching.. Who is the boss? where is Eyegore?

Seriously this is with all due respect but you obviously must have just heard of the game, all your questions have been answered for 3-5 months now.

Btw there are no charge moves in this KI (hold back for 2 seconds, input)

Huh... I didn't notice that.

Cinder has already been confirmed, but there's still season 2 content to look forward to and I'm sure we'll see Riptor and TJ Combo. Double Helix developers actually have an hour long live stream on Twitch typically on Thursdays at 2 PM PST/5 PM EST and do Q&A with the stream and they're going to be doing a lot of content for this game.

Also, there aren't any charge characters in the game right now.

Definitely, Spinal is a beast! When used properly, you can pull off Godlike combos with ease....watch out for those c-c-c-c-combobreakers though lol

As soon as they put Maya in from KI Gold, I am buying this game. I don't even own an X1 but I know someone that does and I will play it over their house.

Love this game so far, just waiting for them to add the ability to upgrade from the combo pack to the ultra pack without having to basically rebuy the game. Can't wait for Fulgore!

Give it a rest, dude. The schtick is getting old.

I've seen people call MS and explain how they want to upgrade to the ultra and MS basically refunds/credits your account/CC. Worth a shot.

As far as gfx...The last patch got rid of the "crushed blacks" and people were actually complaining on the DH forums. They got over it though, it's just a matter of adjustment to your eyes. I think it looks a lot better now, especially if you have proper TV settings.

Actually it's because Spinal is very dangerous when he's stocked up on skulls. His fireballs, teleport and damage with skulls is ridiculous and certain matchups need to be played much more fundamentally.

No, I didn't just hear about the game. I knew about it way before it released and I anticipated it before that. Knowing I wasn't getting an X1 until some time down the line either this year or next I dreaded the games release because I would not get the chance to play it. So, I didn't look into it much. Asking questions on a games forum seems legit enough though... no?

Also, if there are no charge/skill moves and timing then this game is going to suck... no old combo system,,, really? So it is essentially a button masher ala SSB now? If so that is lame as hell. I watched a video that the guy said the combos are easier to execute now, but I didn't realize they didn't leave ANYTHING to skilled players.

Then again, I know I shouldn't judge it before I played it... but I feared this... my hype level just went WAY down... that is why I try not to look into games I think I may like too much and I just buy them. lol

Why do game devs think tht they need to dumb everything down? At least H-Hour is coming for the PS4 soon enough, and that will bring back the tactical 3rd person shooter genre. I was excited KI was back... it sounds as though just the characters are back though...

btw.. glacius looks ridiculous.

Combos still follow the same pattern as old KI, the combos are just longer now and new mechanics have been introduced such as shadow moves and counter breakers. SSB is hardly a "button masher" and any game is a button masher if you don't know how to play, that's why you learn how to play the game and get better. If you want to go for more difficult combos then you can go for manuals instead of auto doubles, they're akin to linkers in Street Fighter.

You say the combos still follow the same pattern... yet they removed the charge combos which most of the characters utilized... minus Spinal and Cinder which for the most part used forward forward and or back back and button presses. I'm sure the set moves all still have specific button presses.. like Jagos fireball. However, what about Sabrewulf, Thunder, Orchid, and Glacius if the charge combos were removed? How could the elements be anything like the original?

Also... saying Smash brothers isn't a button masher is subjective. I feel that it is simply because the move sets are easily executed to where most people who play just mash their controller. DO all? No, of course not... however in my opinion the move sets are not really deep enough to not be able to pull off moves just by mashing buttons. Sure it has some executable moves, but several MOVES require mashing buttons including trying not to be knocked off screen or trying to climb back up. A good player will always beat an inexperienced player, but in Smash they stand a much better chance... you wouldn't see a noob stand a chance in most other fighting series.

I am good at just about every game I play and I adapt quickly.

I love fighting games, and I will be getting myself KI eventually and my children Smash Brothers.

However, I still prefer Marvel vs. Capcom, King of Fighters, and Street Fighter and just about any other fighter to smash. Just a personal preference though.

I love Killer Instinct and it looks like Double Helix has done a great job with the game.

Has been tempting me to get a Xbox One, but I can't justify getting a system for one game. Nothing else on the system appeals to me. Argh!

This game is just too addicting. Once I start playing....hours pass without thought. It's crazy to think this game will just keep growing and get better & better!! There's so much to look forward to; characters, stages, story mode, accessories, classic outfits, no mercys and who knows what else DH has planned. I could literally not care about any game in the near future to be honest.
