Killer Instinct, "with super meter you can throw-cancel in to a super and juggle off it", Ken Lobb

Here are a ton of details about the combo system in the new Killer Instinct reboot (3). If you would join Dustin Legarie in this IGN video, he discusses the game in full with Microsoft Studios Creative Director, Ken Lobb. By the first appearance of the game it's very hard to tell what all you can do in this upcoming 60 FPS, but as they go through all of the set-ups it is quite clear how open the combo system is. Ken Lobb mentions that "turtling" is almost non-existent. When you have super meter you can throw-cancel your opponent with a super and full combo. Hear about this and a ton more in the video below.

EDIT: This 'throw-cancelling' may be exclusive to Jago*

Riptor won't be announced at EVO, I can tell you that..

In one of the other videos they said this tech was exclusive to Jago. Sabrewulf can't do throw cancels.

So have they changed their minds and decided to make this a universal thing?

It's at 5:45 of this video, and no... he doesn't mention if it's exclusive to Jago. It still may be though... perhaps I missed that.

The developers have said that being able to cancel a throw into super is specific to Jago, at least for now. If they make it universal it'd make throws a more damaging option to balance the damage of the overhead-low-throw mixup

Finally a dev that gets it. Do away with all this zoning-spam and turtling non sense and provide tools to get around it all that scrubby non sense.

Don't you mean everyone on Xbox One? I would have definitely given it a shot if it was on something else. Honestly I wish they released it for Xbox 360. :cool:

well, We all hope up that MS doesn't play the dumbass, and later, release this, for , at least, the PC version ... could be great too, if they might aim for the X360 market too, but, they probably will not, seem they are counting that this KI version will help to bring attention for the new Xbox 1 plataform .... anyway, let's see what happens, and let's see if M$ is really smart, or just only a greedy chickenshit company .... hehe :D
