I'm pretty sure it's just the quality of the Youtube video, but I don't think this game looks any better than MK9 or Injustice. Still very good for a F2P game, though.

I dont know to me it doesnt feel like KI.

The combos are ridiculously easy looking as almost ever move is like 10+ hits. Regenerative lives? This is the longest KI fight I seen ever lol.

Still a nice game but it seems like it was made over the top to appeal to kids and teens who enjoy violence rather than people who enjoy fighting games and mastering the moves.

Have you ever played KI? Combos ridiculously easy?

Most demos are played by DH devs and Ken Lobb(creator of the franchise) himself.

Killer Instinct is not about the looks and graphics, it's about COMBOS!!!! KI on the Arcade set the bar for fighting game combos in 1993.

All you with the same opinion are letting nostalgia get the best of you. I hated N64 KI because I was used to Snes KI. And Arcade users hated Snes version.

It's not FTP.  And watch the IGN video or put it in 1080p

Huh? You get a baseline-version of the game for free and have to buy additional characters. That's F2P to me.

Glacius might have changed, but he looks ridiculously awesome! I still maintain my opinion about Jago though. If i do get an Xbone, I will definitely get this.


What is your opinion on Jago?


Too bulky, not as flighty or agile as he used to be. His combos are slower and his moveset though more varied feels like a totally different character. Glacius is an alien who shape shifts so his modern changes still fits his persona. Jago is pure speed and distance character. He can kick you and throw projectiles from across the room to set up his major combos. His best close range moves are potent at close range after a combo has initiated.


Haha yer I too feel he is too bulky, when I first saw his moves I thought he was half tj combo looking with hs knee kicks.

You get 1 character for free and have the option to buy the others or the full game.   They have explained this before.  It has a FTP element but it is not FTP.

I have played the others but for the new one from all the videos I seen (even that game tournament event where it was the mystery game) the combos looked easier (or perhaps more hits got added in after being initiated) than the original games. I guess it just feels weird because all the combos performed and their life bar still went down slow and regenerated (maybe they did that for the demo who knows).

@Cobretti2
The game doesn't have regenerating life bars. After the first round life bar is depleted then you get one more bar, like Injustice. Other than that no regenerating life bars.

That was Jago's special. Everyone has there own special, like when Glacius got the extra ice armor around him during his special.
