Cringy spinal and dead Japanese girl for me pls

Pepe wishes he was that cool and remembered, also made a meme 20 years after he came out.

RAAM because of size alone.

I play Riptor with Eyedol on the side

Or Thunder if I don't feel like trying and just want to mash DP for fun

Sure you are. What's your tag?

Because it's a Microsoft-owned property, and Sony dominated the fighting game space this generation by buying SFV exclusivity.

There's also a lot of misunderstanding about how the game works from the rest of the FGC.

riptor

the talking heads of the FGC are just money chasing faggots.

RAAM

>Poison
>OTGs
>Command Grabs
>His Instinct is "Can't see shit."
If he's taken, Thunder or Aganos. Omen for memes.

Max is the biggest FGC Youtuber by a good margin and he fucking loves KI and talks it up relatively often. Granted he's also a fan of the Power Rangers game and it's not like that game is huge (although I do want to play it).

Any good Arbiter/Riptor tips?

Who's Riptor? She looks pretty.

Wow....i’ve never seen this kind of newfaggotry before.

Jago, Rash, or Glacius

Genetically engineered and enhanced fire-breathing dinosaur. And she's the best girl.

I play Aria because I can multiple styles at once

A Stacy only for Rex

my wife, get your eyes off her

I fucking love this game,

because dial-a-combo is cancer

Shit marketing and Xbone exclusive announcement when the XBone was massively disliked. Massive launch problems like you thought SFV was fucking bad. DH might've repeated Rare's problem of making a broken game due to little to no understanding of fighting games. Also the community is weird. Non-Ki players will always say "Man KI was great really wish I played it blah blah blah", but they never will. They're the people who say they'll play/gget it when it gets PC, steam, on sale but never do. Most of the KI community that aren't the casual players or people who actual dedicate themselves to the game are burnt out or playing the game on the side and trying to branch to other games. In the end, you'll hear about KI. You'll hear and read how great it was and what fucking gold standards it set. Man, gotta wonder why season passes in fighting games occurred after KI, v-triggers in SFV and combo breaker and some other suspicious stuff in MK.

t. Never played the games and never learned how the combos worked
You're next response is about how it's RPS shit because you're a mindless parrot.

Riptor every time
Shame her theme isn't the best but god damn I love activating her Instinct and then doing the "lmao I'm going to sit at 3/4 screen and throw fireballs and do the tail sweep every time you try to move" thing. She has such fun tools at every range, without overly relying on any single trick and can switch gears between rushdown and spacing on a dime
I wish she had more single hit predator mode normals though, I'm not good enough to play around shadow counters intelligently.

Sabrewulf

Max is a fan and he genuinely loves the series, but you can tell in his recent KI stuff that he's pretty burnt out on the game and just streams it in hopes of MS making another one.

Who else here has a freaking dragon?

>No one played Kim Wu because she required more neutral and planning than everyone. Also looks like trash.
>IG gives her a bunch of shit and people still didn't play her

Her model and animations were just offputting for some reason, and the dragon stuff felt more like a limitation than a bonus
She's cool when played well though

She looks like a goblin and has a pretty annoying personality. I learned to accept the animations especially after learning how fucking little MS gave the devs toi make stuff for S3. Dragon isn't actually a limit. She has a fucking lot of insane stuff with it aside from deleting projectiles. A high damage optimal counter break combo involves using it because you can cancel practically everything on the ground with it, and it's why I started to pick her up. Shit like that is why I like the game but also hated most of the pro ki players.

Fulgore

If you shoulder charge into someone and they block, try to integrate just exiting predator stance instead of pressing a button. Still leaves you about neutral, so you can block a DP or grab if they SC or sit in block.

I like how Riptor's optimal Counter Breaker combos are just
>Mash R1 a bit
>shadow shoulder charge
>damage ender
Coming from more execution heavy games I wouldn't have thought that something like that would be as fun to do as it is, but damn does it get hype to hear that CCCCCOUNTER BREAKER and just start mashing like an ape

Because it has the ugliest and most uniteresting roster of fighters, even worse than bottom barrel anime games.

Hell Kohime has a more interesting aesthetic than this shit

>He doesn't like a roster filled with weird freaks and monsters
How boring.

Visually boring. Gameplay wise, KI has one of the most balanced and interesting rosters in the genre.

Hisako
Asian ghost mythology is so god damn fucking sick

Her story is dumb as fuck though.

Spinal was my favorite back in the SNES days.

>most uninteresting
>killer robots
>literal demons
>a mummy
>the grudge
>a stone golem
>a skeleton pirate
>a cybernetic dinosaur

I can understand if you don't like the overall artstyle, it's about as western as it comes, but the roster is the most diverse design-and-gameplay-wise in recent memory.

All of this. All of it. Though I think the game could have had a decent run had it not been an Xbone exclusive.

I got it when it released on win10 and online was just dead in my area. I was so disappointed.

I don't like characters for the lore. I like them for the concepts and themes.

True. Her lore is funny for what she is though. Imagine being mad that you got your family and most of your village killed.

An actual good game

>in my area
The netcode is so good that unless you live in Australia your area doesn't matter.

TJ Combo or Shin Hisako. I'd love to be better at Aria, because I do love her style, but I can't play her for shit.

This one is great on its own, but even better when compared with Jago's theme. youtube.com/watch?v=loSj5Iy1OOs

It would've done better if:
>Steam and W10 happened the same time. Whoever did the Steam port fucked up big time, and W10 had the Xbone popularity problem but worse.
>MS didn't keep treating the game like trash
The game really gives off the vibe that MS just threw out another KI because it would've been cool and free money since it's an old series people wanted back. They didn't give real funding and they sure as fuck didn't treat the tournaments seriously. Winners of a lot of tournaments especially near the end didn't get paid for MONTHS after winning.
>IG didn't listen to the community and just some dev issues overall that were within and out of their control
DH's engine is 100% verified terrible, IG said so and my attempts to change the game up have shown me. So a lot of the shit you see in KI are miracles. Beyond that, there's always dev mistakes. A mistake IG made was listening the community, at all. Keits and someone else made it really clear they and the studio hated working on the game near end S2. Pro and casual players kept god damn badgering and bitching at them for stuff, especially character changes and bitching about how fixing the broken unbalanced jank mess that was S1 and early S2.
Overall, KI is a miracle fucking game that was truly successful against all odds. You can bitch about the combo system and the characters, but the fact they synergize better than most fighting games and still managed to be a well-regarded game by everyone in and out of fighting games says a lot.

The original cut of Maya's theme.Sucks what happened to it.

I picked the game up for I think $10 on steam a year or two ago. It's decent fun to be sure. So many changes since it first launched and most if not all of them for the better from the gameplay I was watching throughout its life.

I'm sure there's still a dedicated playerbase for it though, it deserves at least that much.

riptor is best girl

Riptor, Rash, and Sabrewulf.

Still is. It went the way most of those old/niche fighting games did where it's discord or some online form of contact.

a different game

I'm a Kim Wu main, but man it's not easy. The dragon mechanics are super risky if you're planning to use them to their full potential, so I tend to just stick to the basics. Made it to Killer rank by having a strong defense, but yeah I wish she had more. Also, no Ultimate? What the fuck? I would've thought having a dragon would've had tons of possibilities for a cool one.

Ultimates came down to budget. At the time they got made, Microsoft had basically abandoned ship, and what little funding was left only made 15 ultimates.

Kinda hoping that the definitive edition getting added to game pass in a few days brings in some new blood, but I'm not holding my breath. Anyone subscribing to that is probably transient.

That's sad. The game oozes style and the gameplay can be really intense. I would've thought Microsoft would've wanted to fund this game to infinity and beyond considering it's one of the only big exclusives they've got, in a genre that's 99% multiplatform. Did the game really do that badly?

The game was successful and praised despite the little funding and time MS gave the game and developers.

Damn, then Microsoft really dropped the ball. I'm really happy with how it turned out considering the hardships it had. I can only imaging how fucking crazy it would've been with proper funding.

The problem was that MS doesn't actually care about the franchise at all, they just wanted it to force people into their ecosystem and despite people loving them game, the most common sentiment about it was "this is great but I'm not going to get an xbone/use the w10 store to play it," which means as far as they're concerned it failed.
All MS cares about is getting people to pay for subscriptions to shit, the whole "videogames" thing is a tiny fraction of the company.

Apparently according to community managers at Microsoft the game was a financial success, so why they didn't put more money into marketing it and bolstering its tournament presence is beyond me. Guess they were too busy trying to recover from what a flop the Xbone was initially.

Rumor has it that a sequel is in development for Scarlett, and we'll probably see it next year

the dino ofc

To be honest the dokkan reddit is probably one of the best resources for the game, it has guides Ranking lists, and information about data mines and celebrations.
It seems reddit can only be good if it's about incredibly niche topics, but then again that just makes a forum

A sequel would have to be remake-tier because KI 2013 essentially perfected how KI's combo system is. A better engine, bring back the S1 shadow move effects, fixing issues. A lot of the idiots clamoring for a sequel just want S4 with their characters being buffed for no reason. If those rumors are true, the dev team better be competent like IG.
