I can't be the only one that laughed when he said it's the best next gen fighter announced right? It's the ONLY next gen fighter announced. Any others that I can think of that are on next gen consoles are also on PS3/360.

Then Microsoft have the timing right. KI is getting great previews and hands on. Plus it has little competition. Id say Microsoft timed the reboot spot on. Alot of competitive fighting fans will check it out. It could well blow up and become a phenomenon.


Killer Instinct has a high barrier of entry. Newbs will become overwhelmed when the arcade style fighting fans get the game. They lied when they said the game has a low barrier of entry because in this title that mostly depends on whom you're playing against. Its harder this time to do combo breakers. I dont find this version of KI to be half as stylish but I think I can have some sort of fun with it.

The hands on impressions ive read do differ from what you say. 

I love the videos of old KI fans playing this new one. They are so happy at the end, like someone just gave them all gold bars.


I've been playing fighting games since pretty much I just about six years old. I watched people play the original KI and KI has NEVER had a low barrier of entry on a competitive level. This game will demand more time than both Street Fighter and Tekken to master. Combo breakers are harder to predict now as well. For fighting fans this is good, but for newbs..lol...not so good. Wasn't it you who said that you haven't purchased a fighting game since Soul Calibur 2? Good luck bro...good luck. Thats all I have to say.


I still play KI GOLD every now and then. I might dust off my fighters I have to brush up. LOL.
