I am so glad this is happening. Microsoft really need to invest in a sequel. Perfect time for it.

Very cool, not just for KI but IMO fighting game buzz in general felt like it came to a dead stop because of the pandemic.

Let's gooo. I'm not big into fighting games (I think they are better played locally and with people your skill level) but the time I spent with KI was really good. Very beginner friendly game.

See also: ki.infil.net for some unbelievably comprehensive - and easy to comprehend - guides on basically every mechanic/character in the game. Best fighting game guide I've ever seen, by far.

Yeah, thanks. I randomly found that site by looking for the Prima guide, but it is sold out everywhere of course.

On the eve of the tournament, Max Dood will be playing some Classic/Modern KI for a bit:



The new Emotes are also in effect already.

I'm so hyped for this. Max keeps setting up the best Twitch Rivals tourneys.

What do I need to know about killer instinct to enjoy this?

I don't know much about the old games but with KI (2013) the game has a crazy amount of very different characters. In terms of mechanics, it has a cool "combo-breaker" feature where if you figure out what the opponents combo is you break it, dealing damage. If you fail you get "stunned".
Very cool game, very metal. I feel most other stuff is classic fighting game mechanics, but I haven't played it that much.

We are live!
Man, the KI music is so hype. What a shame we don't have a sequel or even some more work on it. Game deserves more love.

That was awesome. I still remember me and one other friend calling KI happening that E3 and everyone else in our chat saying we were crazy. Then the beat starts and the hype rose. Imagining Double Helix of all devs would actually deliver on it was quite something. What an interesting series of events.

Gotta agree with the commentary rn, I don't even play KI but I love Hisako's design.

Gonna tune in even if i'm not particularily interested in KI, that said props to Max and everyone else involved for setting up these kind of tournaments. People need that sort of distraction and entertainment.

Microsoft should let Iron Galaxy make a season 3.

Edit: Or 4 which ever they're up to now.
