Good move. A werewolf >>>> generic human.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Jago is the perfect start up character. He's basically like starting off Street Fighter as Ryu or Ken or in Mortal Kombat using Liu Kang. He's built to get you into the structure of the game. The other characters are harder for the casual fighting player to get used to.

Saberwulf is more badass looking to casual noobs and will help distinguish the game from other fighters of recent memory.

His chains are harder to pull off, especially if they like to spam. I've met a few. All you have to do to master Jago is remember Ryu's moveset from Street Fighter and remember all your openers and variations to enders in the game and then use the ultra. Thats a lot for an uncommon player to remember already.

Getting your ass handed to you over and over gets boring pretty quickly, even as a werewolf

Try teaching a noob how to control rush tactics without being an idiot. LOL Takes time. This isn't Super Smash Bros (No offense to Nintendo fans). Every character in KI has a area of ground that they cover better than everyone else. Jago is balanced (like Ryu) who can attack from anywhere generally starting his attacks from mid range and closing the distance once you're disoriented and Sabrewulf is a rush character who is in your face at all times.

Well that may be, but I doubt most have your educated breakdown. The game is free, and if people should use Jago, well theres always the price to access him and the others. In the end, its nitpicking and MS is banking on its badass look to continue the free downloads.

Even on medium setting the game will tear a newb apart. LOL This is no trivial thing. Spamming wont help them. The smartest thing to do is go into the dojo and put some time in. Best investment you'll ever make with this franchise.  This game isn't made for newbs and the dojo is probably the best teaching tool i've ever seen in a fighting game. Again, this isn't Super Smash Bros where a random guy can pick it up and have fun and possibly even beat the shit out of an experience player from time to time.
