Haha, yeah I think it's better we play against each other and X-Knight than try our luck against the seasoned pros who have been playing 24/7 since launch and are in tournament training. t: Quite happy to learn it all gradually but there's too much to take on at the beginning as it's a totally new fighter to me. Nearly every other fighting game I at least have history with the series so it's easier to pick up and play.

how long have you been playing KI on xbox? i've always liked KI and played it sometimes back in the super nintendo days, but I never got good at the combo system for KI, which im paying for now cause I need to learn from scratch

 

[Iceman]

I've owned it since release but just played bits here and there. Don't really know any controls beyond the obvious jump and light and heavy punches and kicks. Seems to work fine against the CPU lol. Haven't even played 1 ranked game.

you're doing better than me then I just mash but I have a really hard time against the CPU on easy

its hilarious how they have like 3 insanely hard difficulties, but not a VERY easy mode, their "easy" mode is far from easy!!

ha!

yeah. I just got the console.

I did own an X1 previously....twice actually. but I returned it both times.

The 1st time I didn't even open it and changed my mind because I knew a 1TB model was forthcoming.

Then, I got the 1TB Advanced Warfare console, and I had it for a few weeks, but then it seemed like it was making noises, so I thought it might be defective and returned it.

so now....hopefully, the 3rd time will be the charm......lol.

but I never really played KI when I had the X1 before, just messed around with the demo.

and I agree, us noobs have to stick together so we don't get crushed by the pros......

 

[X Knight]

but I am a bit confused as to which version to buy.

I know that there is a physical edition, but that's only for Season 1?

so if I get that, I'd have to download Season 2 as DLC?

can I purchase both Season 1 and Season 2 together as a combo pack?

 

[Sparta*]

I think they are having a sale on right now

I prefer real discs, but in this case I just downloaded the ultimate pack or whatever its called, that has everything from season 1 and 2 (since the disc release isnt complete anyway)

its regular price 80$ it was on sale for $60

not bad for all that content, im loving customizing the retro costumes, so much fun

what are your guys favorite characters/fave characters to play as?

so far for me:
Spinal
Cinder
Riptor
TJ Combo
Rash
Sabrewulf

 

[Iceman]

I haven't played some of the newer characters. Saberwulf is probably my favourite of the originals. We should set up a 3 way noob tournament.

 

[Sparta*]

what are the online modes like in this game? is it possible to setup a tournament? I havent played online yet so its all new to me

 

[Iceman]

I don't know either but there must be something like that.

$60 for a completely digital game is kind of steep.

I'm really hoping they release some kind of "complete edition" physical disc that includes all the seasons.

and I know back in the day, when I played the original KI in the arcades and on SNES, Glacius was my main character. In KI 2, TJ Combo was my go to guy, I think.

I haven't played any of season 2, but with season 1 I mainly used Wulf, Jago and Spinal.

I need to get all of s2 and hop back into this.

 

[Benstamania]

Same.. Although I got burned when I paid 40 bucks for season one and then they release it all on a disc for 20 bucks.

Haha same. Although I don't think I paid the 40, I think I got the 20 dollar edition, the one that just came with the characters, no costumes etc

 

[Benstamania]

Yeah the costumes were dumb. I should have just got the 20 dollar one.

 

[X Knight]

so the extra costumes aren't really worth it?

 

[Iceman]

I got it all free.

 

[The Hill]

I thought the extra 20 went to Killer Instinct 1....plus the costumes and such.

 

[Sparta*]

so the extra costumes aren't really worth it?

the retro costumes are totally worth it, and it automatically unlocks 4 customizeable gear sets for each retro costume

so for example, Spinal has his retro costume, then you can change his retro costume to samurai armor, roman armor or crusades armor, and every character has the same amount, so you are really getting 4 costumes for each retro costume. Realistically I use the retro costumes and variations 90% of the time over the defaults, but as you probably know im a sucker for the nostalgia

 

[The Hill]

Classic Spinal made little sense to me. What is the difference?

 

[X Knight]

I think I'll just buy the physical disc for Season 1 for $20.

then, I'll buy the Season 2 add on for $20.

I don't really care for extra costumes.

 

[Sparta*]

Classic Spinal made little sense to me. What is the difference?

classic spinal has a different shield, and doesnt have the boots or ropes around him
