I'll admit, much of what is fueling my interest in this game is from pure nostalgia. With that said, Killer Instinct appears to be incorporating gameplay mechanics from more recent fighters, and while slightly faster (at least during combo strings), seems to be similar to the Street Fighter IV series in regards to combat pacing, which I think has broader appeal than some of the faster-paced fighting games like an Arc System Works title (e.g., Guilty Gear, Blazblue, P4 Arena), a Marvel vs. Capcom game, or Virtua Fighter.
It will be interesting to see how the game's pricing strategies will be received by the fighting game community. While a lot of tournament players often "main" a particular character, many players have also shown disdain for paid-DLC characters. If I buy the game, I personally would pick up the full version with all of the available launch characters.
