I still have my working Snes copy of KI that got me into this all the way back in 95, but I was still happy to see it brought to the Switch the other day. I’ve actually found the rewind feature on it helpful for practicing countering specific approaches and combo breaker practice too (breakers are so hard for me in the original.)
Anyone else been trying it out?
Also happy to see Battlemaniacs put on there even though that is objectively the worst Battletoads game haha

Hello, I just installed KI on a brand new PC through the Xbox Gamepass. I have tried everything on the internet besides setting my date and time to November 2017 as I refuse to change my clock for a game. Is there any fixes for this? I have uninstalled the game several times as well. Installed it via the Microsoft store to try that, nothing. Launched it with administrator access, nothing. Any help would be more then appreciated.

DISTANCE. A Racing-Horror game?

It’s interesting seeing a game that combines the racing genre with the horror genre imo. Some of the stuff in this title makes me want to see it done with other racers, including be able to change modes from land to air to sea or underwater. What do you guys think?

A skeptic's guide to the shin hisako balance changes

$
0
0

Hello Ultra-Combo reader

I’m very unpleased with the Shin Hisako balance changes/bugfixes for 3.11 and 3.11.14. I am here to explain what has upset me with what is on paper mostly buffs and bugfixes

[+] Increased the speed of the forward moving Spirit Orb (6+PPP) by 100%.

Ok so is a “BUFF” because the spirit travels faster and Shin Hisako can sustain slightly less chip before trying to force her way in but its in the opponent face for a shorter time and is easier to move past it and take the sting of orb away slightly (Defender has to worry about crossup dash and Hevay slice vs a slow Heavy greed sever compared to scary fast slice vs scary same side dash+H greed sever still;Spirit Orb can drift offscreen quicker to be destroyed). Furthermore 3.9 Orb’s speed was way better for her offense granting her EXCELLENT setplay situations on her basic stuff. Now some stuff is GONE(Like this sweep setup in this hyperlink*) and most setups that stuck around are having worse meaty orb hitboxes (Its tougher to summon orb and threaten set off “spirit shot” and throw, clMK spirit shots are getting windkicked over. the basic whiff slice meaty spirit orb setup is getting backdashed). I haven’t seen/come up with anything new that isn’t worse/the same 3.9 6PPP setup or 5PPP setups using fast 6PPP.

[+]…

  • Crouching Light Punch and many hits of her On Ryo Zan rekka series were doing less hitstun on counterhit than on normal hit. This has been corrected.

Briefly explaining the 2LP change, it’s now +3-ish on counterhit when it used to be negative,causing 2LPxx H Rekka to fall out. this along with the hitbox buff to close HP are pretty good changes removing malignant drawbacks on otherwise underwhelming moves. The Rekka changes basically rework how nearly every important rekka counter hit works

  • [+] Medium/Heavy 1st rekka gives Shin manual combos (both are >11 which allows shin to basically go for all of the 3.11 H 2nd manuals after
  • [+/?] Skipping 3.11 H2nd, the normal hit frame data between heavy and medium got swapped and then slightly buffed. M 2nd rekka can combo into 5MP which is slightly more than what 3.9 H 2nd rekka could do and H 2nd rekka manuals into sweep which is slightly more than what 3.9 M rekka did. Moving the problem strength to heavy from mediums makes “American shadow counter baits” minimally more awkward to “prep the opponent”
  • [+] M and H 2nd have buffed to be like around ~+17 and ~+21. These versions of rekka were used mostly catch backdash and special chain into slower special such as M/H spirit slice or Heavy greed sever so turning it into a beast CH
  • [-] L 2nd rekka counterhit advantage was nerfed to +11. You can say this is a swap with H 2nd rekka but nerfing the strongest rekka version IN A BUFF PATCH NOTE is a stealth nerf/very whack. L 2nd rekka does a lot in rekka offense, being both the safest 2nd rekka and a move that sets up tick slices still(???) so it’s reasonable to normalize the CH advantage but this is not even talked about in the notes. The people can look up every former flame carpet low crush but if I’m like this thing was better before, People will think i’m making stuff up like a Rubbish vid
  • [-] H 3rd rekka lost all manuals on normal hit & counter hit. This is written as a bugfix but 5 years of using H rekka and the KI guide saying to use H rekka then “that’s a feature” and fixing it is a nerf. Its fair to have quality of rekka degrade each version and -10 is not death on block enough to be worse than 2nd rekka (M 2nd is -10). Punishing rekka is cool!!! but CH combos and DPing after an opener into mix is also cool and Shin lost that in the most recent patch. Losing a powerful frame trap option after 2nd rekka saps “fun” from the 2nd rekka offensive situation (minus tick slices but those are dumb) and makes it so nearly all the options shin can tag you with are very mediocre

Could you guys update the character page? Kim Wu’s render doesn’t feel right as it doesn’t match the others.

Of course, there’s no character wallpaper from everyone of the characters. No emblems, nothing else.

A suggestion to add a screenreader into the game

Hello
Since the game is being updated again, I would like to ask about adding some sort of screen reading method to help blind gamers navigating the menus, especially it could help a lot in playing shadowlords mode to manage your items and etc.
Nearly every big game nowadays have narration in menus, btw one of the first publishers who started to implement this feature was microsoft studios, and have one more great fighting game being more accessible to blind would be cool!

Thoughts on Update 3.11.15

$

I didn’t get to watch the show live (parenting) I watched it later and wanted to give my thoughts about it.

No doubt everyone is going to be talking about the increased lvl cap and additional free colours for all characters. I felt these remixed colours looked insane for all characters apart from the humanoid ones. I just felt it didn’t hit the mark with the human characters, kinda looked a little weird.

Some real standouts though like Arbiter and RAM had some insane ones. Personally I would have liked the human characters to keep their natural skin colour but then have the gold and purple on their attire.

Like Jago in a black and gold outfit for example.

I understand the reasons behind it and I’m not moaning because hell it’s free.

Certainly hope IG is the team that will continue to work on the franchise going forward. I have a feeling something else is cooking.

Definitive to Anniversary upgrade

$

0

Just found out that anniversary ed was released! I was very excited to game in 4K and the update was free for Definitive owners. I purchased from the MS store May 26th 2017. I still have my receipt and order number. Went to play and only see 1440P 2560x1440 as an option. Read in the forums, uninstalled and went to reinstall, but MS store only providing a paid for version of anniversay ed. Found the Definitive Ed under MS Store / Library/ Games, install it and only get the what I believe is the free version of Killer Instinct, not the anniversary ed. Tried uninstalling again and resinstalling after I’ve installed Definitive Ed. Same issue, when selecting Killer Instinct from the store, and then clicking on Editions / Anniversary Ed, takes to me purchase the anniversary ed. Not sure what else to do here to make it work, any advice appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi guys, I have a problem with the steam version of the game. I completed all the requirements of Mural Artist achievement (first season) , but the achievement still not opened… I have relogged into the game many times, completed the game for several characters again, but nothing helps. Who anybody had a similar problem? Did you manage to solve it?

The whole mural is open. All endings are available.

It’s been a month since I completed all the requirements. I log into the game almost every day, but the achievement doesn’t pop up.

What would you like to see from a potential KI sequel?

$
0
0

NOTE: Feel free to skip down to the TL: DR at the bottom if you don’t want to read this giant blob of text. It’s just a the question in the title of the thread.

Not to put on my conspiracy theory (tin foil) hat, but seeing Iron Galaxy come back to KI after six years to put out anniversary content has led to some speculation that they might be working with Xbox again on a sequel. Of course, it’s entirely possible this was just a one-time thing to celebrate the 10 year anniversary. We certainly can’t rule that out.

But.

BUT…

What if they ARE working on a sequel? Just curious what you would want to see in the game? Who would you want to bring back and who (if any) would you skip (either in general or because you know the roster is a finite thing that can’t go on forever)? What mechanics have to return and what can be scrapped? What new KI character types or guests would you want? What would you want from the story? What do you want to see graphically? What modes?

Not saying anyone needs to address ALL of these aspects but just curious what people want or if anything immediately jumps out.

For me:

Characters I’d skip:
Rash: I’d rather have new guests

General Raam: See above

Arbiter: See above

Omen: Appreciated him as a sort of fill-in/placeholder character content-wise, and he was a nice part of the story, but that story should probably be over and I’m not personally all that attached to his character design.

Gargos: Love Gargos and he’s fun to use, but as the main villain of the last game, it’d be nice to see him at least skip this game given the events of the comics.

Eyedol: Debating this one, but it kinda feels like the Shadowlords could both maybe skip a game. I wouldn’t be against him (or anyt of these characters) returning.

Characters I’d add:

Ben Ferris: I’d love to see ARIA take Cinder’s power away and just have a sort of cigar-chomping, wise-cracking anti-military / mercenary trope.

Meltdown: Of course, ARIA’s method of improving everything means making a better Cinder. It’d be cool to see them bring in an evolved Cinder for Ben Ferris to clash with.

A Witch: Always thought this would be a fun trope for them to explore. A sort of tattooed plant goddess or a darker, more goth Poison Ivy with some fun witch powers.

A Djinn: Another one from the season 3 survey. Imagine all the cool powers this character could have!

A lovecraftian horror: Another season 3 survey idea that I absolutely loved. Give me a large, tentacle monster god with some fun reach and some cool powers.


As far as gameplay goes, I’d want them to bring back:

Counter Breakers: This sounds obvious, but they didn’t always exist in KI’s development and they’re absolutely essential to the two-way interaction during combos.

Shadow moves: Of course.

Recapture: This was such a fun way of continuing combos and creating some really fun, stylish stuff. Hope they find ways to expand on it tbh.

The combo meter: Again another sort of obvious thing, but being able to see how close you are to a blow out, resetting the meter, etc are all great aspects of the gameplay that I hope return.

Gameplay items I hope they add:

A super move: I’m not sure how that would be implemented. A unique meter? Use a full shadow meter? Maybe an added stock on the end of a shadow meter that’s just for the super? Use the full Instinct meter? Should they be uniform for all characters in method and should they all be high-damage? I’m not sure. I’d just like to see some type of flashy, explosive move that uses up a lot of meter. Doesn’t have to be hyper-cinematic and last forever.

A unique ender: I feel like older KI games did this (maybe just KI2 / Gold?), but it’d be cool if each character could get a unique ender that they can do once they’ve done every ender type.

OTG combos: It’d be cool to be able to perform combos on grounded characters. Maybe that’s a character’s unique trait or maybe that’s just something they add universally, but I think it’d be fun.


I mentioned original characters above, but as far as guests? I don’t know that I’d want many, but I do think a few would be fun, especially from some of Xbox’s acquisitions since the last game came out:

Lilith (Diablo)
Joanna Dark (Perfect Dark)
Master Chief (Halo)
Marcus Phoenix (Gears of War)
Tracer (Overwatch)

Might not be my definitive top 5 list (I’d still love to see a Legacy of Kain character in KI but MS doesn’t own Crystal Dynamics). But this is something close to my top 5.


Lastly, the story.

Honestly? I REALLY hope they treat all the events spelled out in the last game and all the stuff from the KI novella and comics as canon and then grow and expand the story from there. I don’t need Mortal Kombat level production values, but I don’t believe you have to have them to portray an MK level of storytelling.

I’d love to see a world half destroyed by Gargos still trying to recover and pull itself out of the rubble. Perhaps a splinter faction of Ultratech’s board leaves and puts together their on conglomerate and the two are essentially at war for what’s left of the US and the world and what remains of the world’s governments and underground movements form some type of uneasy alliance / resistance to take them down. Bring back the Ultratech tournament as a sort of means of these factions settling things after a war has led to a stalemate.

I think they could do some really fun stuff with that. :slight_smile:


TL: DR

So yeah, again, no one has to write THIS much by ANY stretch of the imagination. Even if it’s just one sentence… What are some things you’d want for a potential KI sequel?

Unintended Counter Breaker Attempt - Mira

$

When playing as Mira, I’ve had numerous times where a button combination aside from MP + MK will cause a Counter Breaker attempt mid combo (sometimes she will jump in the air performing the Counter Breaker stance).

The frequency seemed to drop after the anniversary edition, but it is still happening.

Already documented?
I rarely play as other characters so I couldn’t tell you if this happens outside of Mira.
