Hello Somebody. can anybody play online killer instinct ????i want to know please Answer…
Will not be a female announcer for Season 1? So does that mean there will be a female announcer for Season 2? Overall an all-new female announcer for Killer Instinct? Is that what the development team is saying? This is the 1st time I have ever heard about that info and detail until now since the announcers for KI and KI2 as well as KI3 were all and still are male. Very neat and interesting feature for Killer Instinct 2013 I now wanna say and can’t wait to hear her announce and overall her voice as well. Besides that particular one all the other new infos and details surrounding the ongoing, continued development of Killer Instinct are primarily great news to hear about
Hey, you forgot to mention the “Respect Taunt” idea which I think would be really popular.
Yeah, I totally agree with that idea now
