What do they mean by "Blow-up" ? If anything it'll be even lucky to achieve a fraction of what smash bros will sell because this game appears to have a poor amount of content for the price.

20 dollars for 8 characters sounds good to me

That's without a campaign and everthing else. The only modes that you get are practice and online matches. With $20 I could spend that on a GTA DLC or some other DLC that has more to offer than what killer instinct offers.

Who plays fighting games for the campaigns?

Some people do and some don't but that doesn't mean it shouldn't offer more content for it's price. ;)

$20 for 8 characters when I can purchase a DLC that will give me more content so the choice is yours. 

Not sure if any serious fighting game player really play these games for a story mode.  I could not tell you what the story is for any of the fighters I have played over the years and most time its just crap.  Instead a good balance and fun characters list and the ability to play arcade mode is pretty much will tide most people over.  Competition online will be the meat so DH should have a very robust online mode or I agree the game will not hit any stride.  The key would be if KI can develop a dedicated online fighting community.

Killer instinct will fail to set the gaming world on fire just like the rest of the fighters this generation. I don't see it becoming a fraction of the social phenomenom like wii sports. What will this game do to become king in the fighting genre. It is targetting the same crowds that like mortal kombat and street fighter ? I'm sorry but killer instinct just looks like any other fighting game out there.
