It's all so very confusing.
Kinda thinking of learning KI. Played before a while ago but never put much time in. If anyone ever wants sets with a newb, lemme know. Pretty sure my name is same as here.. No damn clue who Im maining. Maybe Kim Wu, maybe TJ, maybe fuck-if-i-know

Once you understand the combo system, the game is rather simple. Good starter characters are Jago, Fulgore, Thunder, Orchid, and Tusk. Tj is pretty simple too but at higher level he takes a lot more skill to use. Kim too.

Get your guns on. Sheriff is back.
Shin Hisako looks amazing!

  • Long range normals
  • fastest dash in game
  • huge AA
  • dash in moves that cause popups for easy combos and let you left right folks. Essentially berzerker slash but you can stop in front of them or behind and behind also causes a launcher on hit.
  • THE TRAIL BEHIND BERZERKER SLASH HAS A HITBOX. Try jumping or porting this and you can still get hit by her dash effects like a ghetto MVC3 Vergil rapidslash
  • teleport dash that can port above folks for HUGE crossup play
  • enormous ability to travel full screen with special moves
  • restands
  • instinct gives new property to H moves.
  • summon a spirit orb you can position. When Shin hisako hits it she can turn it into a large slow traveling projectile that beats EVERY PROJECTILE. Yes she can berserker slash through it to trigger the projectile on someone's left to move in and end up behind you after the berzerker slash move to left right you
  • shin hisako can HOME in on a placed spirit orb with her specials or dash. She can also curse someone so the orb stays on them no matter where they go. This can lead to her teleporting past or over attacks to hit cursed opponents.
  • the amount of orbs she can use makes her pressure insane given that the orbs convert into projectiles that can be knocked into different angles of attack that allow you to both pressure from air or ground. Nigh unstoppable huge projectiles slowly following up anything shin hisako tries makes her very safe and dangerous pressure in instinct to face off against.

  • can cash out the instinct fast to summon hands that move along ground toward enemy to drag them to underworld meaning you could summon orb, berzerker slash through it, cash out on the opposite side with hands and then teleport dash above them to potentially go for both a left right crossup and grab.
This character is insane!

Wake ups don't necessarily work how they do in Mk and igau I think. Any property a move has as a wu it will have in neutral. However I don't think hisako really had any wus but could use parry. Shin Sako may just need to block but we'll see when she comes out

She has a dp I'm assuming one of those versions will be invincible

Oh yeah forgot she has a dp. Apparently she comes out tomorrow. So I'm excited to try her out. Literally just now finished my Kilgore achievements. So might play some spinal again and then be on the shinsako grind again tomorrow

I remember I got a glitch in practice mode and I got to play as her for like 3 seconds lol

With Shin Hisako coming out today I'm going to jump back on. KanRa and Cinder need to be polished again. I think Shago's coming along well and now I really wanna dive into Shinsako

Damn I knew Gargos had weird gravity issues with kan Ra but never realized the extent of it and would have thought they would have fixed it by now. It's been like that since Gargos launch.
I think I even remember reporting it in the big section on the uc forums

I've been meaning to jump.on and play, might try to today, but For Honor has had a lot of my time recently.

I'll buy Shinsako at some point possibly, really want her but I'm still waffling on whether or not I'll play KI enough to warrant dropping the 10$ on her.

In the meantime, I think I'm going to learn Kim Wu and Mira.

There was some community event thing on Beam (MS streaming platform) where I'd they reached some goal, she'd release early. They met whatever the goal was, or so a few people were saying in KI streams yesterday, so she releases early.
