I played a shit ton of the original games and I've been wanting a new game in the series.

Either way, quit worrying about what others want to play. If it doesn't interest you go play something else and stop whining.

Pricing model kills any interest this game might have generated for me. I am honestly not a fighting game fan though, so I was never really that interested.

Free to play ruins games!


It's free to play one character. That's hardly free to play. What negative do you see in allowing players to purchase as much of the game as they want to, or can afford to, whenever they want to do so? That seems like a huge plus to me.

I'm not big on fighters but it's easy to see why people are excited, great visuals, nostalgia, gameplay, etc. People are happy that a beloved franchise is coming back

Its one of those games I want to be excited for but I'm not so I was just curios why other people are.  Looks like the main reason is I never played the original so it has no nostalgia for me

Fast paced, huge combos, great artstyle, nostalgia, great technical fighter like some of the top dogs.

PS there is 8 characters at launch and 8 more coming in season 2. They are supporting beyond launch for years is what they said.

Now it is fine you dont care for it but then again no reason to keep voicing your opinion about it if you dont like it.  We get it.


Well lets be honest most fighters are fast paced, I don't think fighting games are made to be slow paced.  Also what specifically makes you say its a great technical fighter when compared to other fighters?

What is a big fighter that is fast paced?  Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter is mid to slow paced.  Dead or Alive is fast with short combos.  Soul Calibur and Tekken isnt like Killer Instinct.  Am i missing any other big fighting game?  I cant think of one big fighter that is as fast paced as Killer Instinct except Marvel vs Capcom

If you dont like Killer Instinct then move on and forget about it.  People like different things.


Blazblue, Guilty Gear, Persona 4 Arena, Smash Bros Melee and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few.  

Honestly, I don't see KI as being that fast.  The only thing that seems fast about the game is the speed at which moves cancel into each other in combos.  Overall character movement isn't exceptionally quick or anything.  It's a bit faster than Street Fighter IV AE, but not really by much.  Kind of middle of the pack in terms of speed.

Virtua Fighter is pretty fast. 


Well in VF5 the attacks are fast, but the characters move kinda slow and feel clunky. Especially when compared to something like DOA.

Because 6 character fighters made by devs that haven't made a single good game, let alone have knowledge of the FGC, means that this will be amazing.

Woops almost forgot my sarcasm face :^)

Good call. No one that isn't already an established developer for a specific genre should make games. There's no possible way that they could possibly succeed!

We should just stick to the same franchises by the same devs for the rest of enternity.

I guess you will find out the negatives when you start playing this game and youare ALWAYS fighting the same character!

Fighting games are like fine wine, if you mess it up you get games like KoFXII
