How many people are going to rage quit in this game during ultras?

 

[LanceMonsoon]

First KI3 tier list, over-under 5 days after release? Place bets.

EDIT: I say under (sadly).

 

[NightwingDayZero]

I'll be cracking out most of the weekend.

 

[Satan1]

I just want my, pre ordered, day one Xbone+KI on the 22th damnit! I'm really pissed off that it will prolly take 'till the first of APRIL until that damn console releases over here... AAARRRRRGGH!

 

[MashPotatoTower]

The sickest part of KI is you can be bottom 5 and top 5 at the same time <3

one single question though, ppl play more KI than they play injustice?

 

[ShadowBeatz]

About the same amount of people who rage quit during fatalities

 

[ShadowBeatz]

I know I'm going to, ESPECIALLY when Spinal's released

 

[RiBBz22]

Hah, dude I think it is going to be WAY WAY worse

Unfortunately going off of igns info graph:
http://m.ign.com/articles/2013/11/20/which-next-gen-consoles-and-games-are-ign-readers-buying

It seems a lot more people will be purchasing the PS4, it looks to me like double the amount that are picking up Xbox One. Being that Injustice (which is a wonderful game as well) is on PS4 already - it would seem Injustice players outnumber KI players for the moment. Of course I have no way of knowing if all these people picked up Injustice - I'm just taking a educated guess based on the statistics of the infograph.

However, on the flip side of that token, there are (what seems to me) a large amount of players in Xbox One that are interested in playing KI.

So we will still have a lot of matches online and a lot of conversations slowly building up our community as did Injustice when it came out.

My mains order:
Thunder (This is my Lobo right here - lots of time will be invested with Thunder before I move on to the rest in my list)
Sadira
Orchid
Glacius
Sabrewulf
Jago

With this said, the order can somewhat change for me depending on Spinal and Fulgore relation with the triangle archetype.

i guess getting a stick for xbox1 on day one is out of the question. How long will i be busting out dpad?

 

[MashPotatoTower]

it might split crowds up. mostly those really against the xbox right now

There are pre-order numbers that conflict with IGNs polls. For example: http://www.vgchartz.com/article/251359/ps4-vs-xbox-one-us-pre-orders-update-xbox-one-gains-ground/

Xbox One was making up ground going into September, so I imagine that trend continued with Drive Club's cancellation announced, and no real bad news from MS.

Oh, and on KI launching:

 

[MashPotatoTower]

whoa, i just learned if you ay 40$ for KI you get the original KI arcade!! is this true?

 

[Indecisive]

I'm going to give KI a try and see how i like it. If i don't then its whatever. But i probably won't be buying the Xbox One if i enjoyed it. My practice would come from playing at other peoples house . But from the videos i have seen the game looks interesting and kinda all over the place. But my opinion on it might change when i get to try the game. My only issue is since i don't really know the characters well i have no idea who i would play

 

[MashPotatoTower]

Yeah, you get the classic Killer Instinct games and I think classic skins as well.

 

[KiD INsAnitY]

Since I didnt have the money to pre-order i'll most likely get the xbone at the end of DEC but im super excited for dat KI drop

 

[ShadowBeatz]

This game has ruined me lol. All I want to play is KI right now XD

It's bad. I have a whole stack of games on a shelf and I'm just like "nah, don't want to play that, or that, or that, or that, or that... *looks at Xbox 360*.... or that"

 

[Rathalos]
