KI always was kindof SF-ish. The difference is the awesome presentation, cool characters, and crazy combo's. I love the look they gave this game. KI always had a kindof surreal cartoonish yet realistic look.

man, i can remember playing the heck out of KI in the arcades. Can't wait to see if this one lives up to the standards. Killer always had really cool partical effect explosions and really awesome background music. Glad to see the partical eefects are still there. Visually, still looks great. Lets hope there's enough there gameplay wise to keep up with today's games.

Would love to see Chief Thunder throwing his low axe fireball exploding with another projectile on the cool bridge stage with that killer indian chanting background music. So cool.

Where's TJ Combo?
I mean, it really really looked like street fighter, some people even say it could be the same engine (like MK and IGAU share the same engine). And what I fear is that M$ wants to copy SF thinking of its success, but that would be at huge mistake 'cause fans KNOW the HUGE differences between the sagas, at least they could have copy MK...:(... I'm mad man, ;__;
I love SF and I honestly don't think it will play like it but if it does it should be fine. Ssf4 has really solid gameplay mechanics aside from the scrubby dps and random ultras!!!
It seems like it has hit confirmation which is awesome, I wish mk had it.

The one game where you will truly see me rush down :)
Really hoping they add good zoning tool in this game!
KI controls were low punch, mid punch, fierce punch, low kick, mid kick and fierce kick, I hope they go for the same controls in this game bc f dumbed down 3 attacks only!

I agree that SF plays fine, the mechanics are good and all, but, and this is a big but, KI was not SF, it share similarities (like most fighting games from the era) but that's all; it was darker, brutal, heavy combo oriented, even had fatalities!! and my fear is M$ is trying to copy SF becaise they think it would granted sells.

Well judging from the clips the game seems very combo oriented, really cool chars, awesome music and the hypest announcer of any fighter of this generation.
All it basically needs is darker themes, improving the graphics and re-designing of Glacious cause he does not look like KI Glacious at all, he kinda looks like Seth tbh.

What do you mean by darker themes? Just curious...
I also thought that Quan-Chi from MK4 was the most hype announcer.

I really hope they add TJ Combo and Chief Thunder. Two of my favorite characters in KI!
Chief Thunders combos were so damned nice, but he couldn't compete.
They will be in for sure. Spinal too. I'm just hoping for some KI2 characters.

All the original KI characters will definitely be in this, there weren't that many anyway. What I would like to see is creative new original characters.

Also, this is just another game the CD bros will dominate in. CRAZY DOMINICAN is one of the best KI players I've ever seen play the game. He's a fucking BEAST!

Just darker everything and more mature looking.
And yeah I said hypes announcer of this generation of fighters! I wasn't talking about 90s fighters, mk2 and mk4 announcers were sick but YouTube KI 1 arcade and you will feel how much better it was.

These things NEED to be in that I haven't seen so far to make it an authentic KI experience.

- The CGI victory and vs screen cutscenes.
- The awesome background music during fights.
- Danger sound when you get low on life.
- Sabrewulf's puppy whimper when he gets hit.
- Jago's "huuuuyaaaahh".
- Humiliations.
- Character select theme.
- Ultra combo stage fatals.
