Today Adam Isgreen gave us another textual stream with confirmation on info released at Gamescom and more new info on Killer Instinct. Below is what he posted on the official Killer Instinct forums.
Hi everyone,
After a week break for gamescom, we’re back with the textual stream this week.
What’s up with KI:
- A lot of official information came out this week for KI S2; Official S2 start date (Oct 15th); the return of Mick Gordon for the music; TJ early access for S2 Ultra purchasers (or via retail disc code); KI2 classic with multiplayer for ultra ed.; Kev Bayliss doing the alternate costumes for the S2 characters.
- The patch is still on its way. We’ll deploy it as soon as we can and let you know the minute it goes out.
- The S1 change list is very close and we continue to test everything. We’ll share more on the changes (video / stream or text, TBD) once they’re completely locked down.
Maya:
Work on her effects and flow is the current focus. Here’s a fun Maya pressure approach + dagger powerup combo from mid range:
- QCF+LP – throw light dagger
- F,F – dash roll
- (opponent blocks dagger, it bounces & powers up)
- Cancel roll into f+HK overhead kick
- (catch dagger midair)
- Pressure with overhead into a mixup
From the forums / twitter:
- We certainly want players to be able to make an informed purchase. You will know more of the features and roster for S2 before launch.
- Air breakers being implemented doesn’t mean air combos are being added to the cast. They mean that you can break juggle hits as if they were manuals.
- There are no clowns, mimes, giant apes or giant snails in S2’s roster.
And finally, teases:
- As we’ve said before, Maya’s trailer teases a new character at the end. That new character’s trailer then teases a returning character.
- Most of Maya’s arsenal returns in some form. That includes mantis, jungle leap, and flip kick.
Will ki get a graphics update
