Killer Instinct is about combos!! Sure it would be cool to have skins of the original characters but this is a different story and game. 20 years later a lot have changed.
In the gaming world today if devs keep it the same they're rehashing, if they change they're corrupting someone's childhood.
DH is doing a good job on varying combos and characters. I'm just gonna miss TJ Combo,Fulgore and Spinal... for now.
