other microsoft exec: "why do they keep tagging us on this? anyway, keep an eye out on it, if its popular enough maybe we could buy the IP in the future"
I'm honestly surprised how fast this is all coming together! Granted I suppose the Assist Me stuff probably took awhile for the MvC3 tournament, not to mention probably testing and making how they will handle using Parsec. Without those two I imagine getting everything together was much smoother.
...Although, might we see some Assist Me-like stuff? :D
It's been in the works for about a month now, and KI was the next planned event since the UMVC3 Lives Tournament. I'll be going into greater detail about everything tonight on stream!
Can't wait, both for the explainer & the actual tournament.It's been in the works for about a month now, and KI was the next planned event since the UMVC3 Lives Tournament. I'll be going into greater detail about everything tonight on stream!
KI is so hype to watch at high level.I'm shit at these games but I'm so down to watch this especially after how well the MvC tourney was and I don't even care much for that game. Gotta watch this one.
Been some time since I last watched any KI in general so I'm pretty pumped for this.
Problem is who makes it. I feel like double helix and iron galaxy are owned now so who do you contract the job to?I mean at this point MS just HAS to know there will be fucking riots if they don't greenlight a new KI. (FWIW I think they will at some point this gen if they haven't secretly already)

Seriously. I didn't expect to watch so much of this tonight but that Hisako player who won something like 4 games straight by being insane kept me glued.
I would assume so
Might be a long shot but I think MS should just open their wallet and do what it takes to acquire the Double Helix devs back from Amazon Games. Those guys were crushed when they were pulled from KI and Amazon is clearly a black hole where their talents are being completely wasted. Lord knows MS has the money.Problem is who makes it.

Oh god tell me about it. I don't play fighting games at all but I just love watching high level KI matches
Wow that's a solid list. Some obvious players missing like Rico, Amenty, MyGod, Thompson, Pink Diamond, Storm. A nice variety of characters too.
To celebrate the game 25th anniversary i compiled some crazy KI moments:
DOMI's Cinder juggle: that juggle blew the crowd away. Too bad we never saw DOMI again
Sleep (kanra) comeback against MyGod (Sabrewulf): an impossible comeback but Sleep did it
Sleep vs Thompxson: probably the highest level KI play I have seen and they were taunting each other.
Amenty keeping Sleep away with Eagle: Pretty late into the game's life but some great Eagle match
RicoSuave (Shadow Jago) vs Sleep (Aria): 2 of the best KI players
Rico (Omen) vs Rebello (Combo): TJ Combo is my least favorite character in the game but Rebello is so good with him
Storm (Hisako) vs Nicky (Mira): Mira was one hell of a character to play with and Nicky nails it
Pink Diamond(Maya) vs CupCake (Sabrewulf): Pink diamond got me so hyped with Maya
Edit: adding some more
Storm (Hisako) vs Gemako (Shin Hisako): Even the alternate characters are viable. This game is amazing
Domi playing Killgore: It's interresting to see japanese players give Ki some love. This game was supposed to have an arcade release there
Wheels (Sabrewulf) at combo breaker 2017: Pretty hype moment where Wheels was able to comeback from an impossible situation
Waterhorse (Glacius) vs Element (Hisako): very tight match
Extreme Zomb1e (Sabrewulf) vs Illusion (Cinder): Sabrewulf going crazy on 1 pixel
Chaidez (Glacius) vs DOMI (Killgore): More of DOMI's Killgore with some crazy setups
Letalis (Aganos) vs Raven is Raw (Spinal): Aganos jailing Spinal
Lord Kalypso (Sadira) vs DAA Chronicle(Shadow Jago): Sadira being disgusting
Lord Kalypso (Sadira) vs SonicDolphin (Kim Wu): heart pounding close match
Banelings (Aganos) vs Tyzo (Cinder) : Never count Aganos out
I bought my first fight stick for this game, man. Killer Instinct will forever be an all-timer. Can't wait for this.
