Man, I hope he's not overpowered.

tinynuggins3393d ago

He sure looks like he is but i'm sure they'll balance it out.

Orbertron3393d ago (Edited 3393d ago )

At the 3:45 he says Omen does half the damage of a normal character, so you must fight harder maybe, just like Akuma from 3rd strike weak defence but strong attacks

Fireseed3393d ago

Definetly not, his weak basic attack game is a good compensation for his very good projectile based pressure.

Mikefizzled3393d ago

Looks like a really innovative character. Some of the traits he has seem completely new to fighting games. Very impressive work.

People are pissed about how silly the mask is. Thankfully they just confirmed it's an accessory and can be removed.

gangsta_red3393d ago

Not feeling this character, very generic look. And that slide move that ends up behind the player, is that what I'm seeing? Nope, don't like it!

Tedakin3393d ago

People hating on this need to remember he's free. You didn't pay for him. They're giving you a free bonus gift. Complaining about a free gift is ridiculous, but then gamers are the most entitled acting people on the planet.

supersonicjerry3393d ago

you have to buy the 2nd season to have him so no he's not free.

blakstarz3393d ago

Exactly how I feel when people bitch about Driveclub...you are getting tons of free shit!

souldestroyer143393d ago

You I mean it's definitely free after you spend 60 bucks on it.

I'll have to get this! Been a big fan of KI since the very first one.

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.
Here's what you also need to know

There isn't going to be any chance of this being played at tournaments unless it appears on all platforms like all fighting games.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH152d ago

SF5 didn’t appear on all consoles and was still played at Tournaments. I’ve seen KI tournaments recently so I don’t think your opinion is accurate.

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!
