This is how you support your first party games! Continued support after 10 years!
The Killer Instinct fans appreciated and the whole FG community celebrates!
Congrats goes to Matt, Mick, Adam and everyone at Iron Galaxy!
Tomorrow we fight together! I can´t wait!
I love KI (still play the old arcade version) but feel like the Xbox version is like a big intimidating chessboard with no easy way to instruct you to play chess.
The game is so deep in terms of little things to do that it makes Smash Bros melee look like a casual experience.
Honestly, doing a combo Breaker is punish/reward by itself but hey you can add a counterbreaker.

Iron Galaxy is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Killer Instinct by launching a new Anniversary Edition for Xbox and PC and an extensive patch several years after the latest update.
There isn't going to be any chance of this being played at tournaments unless it appears on all platforms like all fighting games.
A free-to-play fighting game? This was unheard of at the time, but Killer Instinct has proven it's not only doable, but enjoyable!
I don't think Double Helix have made anything good during their time, it's like handing something to Slant Six.
I'd say it will get the benefit of the doubt just because it's KI though
I just can't believe with such a popular title and with how much money MS has they decide to get these guys to develop it, I mean fair enough out source the IP to another developer but not a crap one, it shows such disrespect to the franchise.
This is almost as bad as when we all clamored for Mortal Kombat and they gave us Mortal Kombat VS DC instead
No it didn't. It came from Killer Instinct fans who were screaming out about it at the top of their lungs for years while Microsoft were content to let Rare desolve into a Kinect shovelware developer.
i think microsft saw how much the fans wanted it and wanted to see just how much they are willing to pay for it...how can they make this game worse? by charging $5 per character...of course they'll give their "positive spin" on their screw up by saying:
"We believe traditional fighting games have many characters people don't use and they usually stick to 2-3 characters anyway so paying full price for a game seemed like a waste of money, now we give you the option, you don't HAVE to buy every character."
(i should apply for a marketing job at microsoft)
at this point it really wouldn't surprise me if they said that.
