Killer Instinct Textual Stream 08/22/14

Here’s the textual stream for this week provided by Microsoft’s Adam Isgreen…

What’s up with KI:
•Our CU rolled out, and looks like everything is much better than it was. If you are experiencing any issues post-patch, please post them in the bug thread!
•Final polish on TJ’s ultra and audio incorporation is wrapping up. Has a very different cadence than the other ultras.
•…and we’ve fixed the unlimited ultra / recapture he had. You’re going to have to work for those 200+ hit ultras now!
•TJ’s theme is… well Mick has given y’all a great tease, let’s just leave it at that!
•Maya is looking really great. Dreads aren’t simmed yet, but the rest of her has translated from concept to in-game really well.

From the forums / twitter:
•There is a new progression unlock system for S2 that will allow everyone to get their colors and other accessories without MP ranks.
•That said, there are new exclusive MP rewards too… more on all of this before launch!
•Did you know: you now have a brightness setting!

Teases!
•There’s hundreds of suggestions for new characters in the forums. One of them is pretty close in theme to a new character this season!
•The 3rd character’s idle is rather arrogant.
•Maya’s end of match victory line: “You were not worthy prey.”
