  • Wanted to make TJ Combo a rushdown character who was much more heavy hitting
  • Will see more character reveals between now and the launch of Season Two.
  • Will likely have something available for play at EVO.
  • There will be a variety of different stages in Season Two.
  • TJ Combo doesn’t have an eye patch because he hasn’t quite lost his eye… Yet.
  • There could potentially be some dev diaries in the future.
  • They are looking at things to adjust from characters in Season One.
  • Not sure yet if there will be a Pin Ultimate Edition for Season Two.
  • TJ Combo can cancel a Ultra if he has full Instinct.
  • Still talking about adding a new announcer, possibly female.
  • Recapture is a TJ Combo move, but it may come to other characters as well.
  • There will probably be some characters that have unique meter management options, but likely not as radical as Fulgore’s.
  • Season Two will bring over another 1000 achievement points.
  • Season Two is 100% Microsoft and Iron Galaxy.
  • Shadow Jago will be an extra character and not part of the eight characters to be in Season Two.
  • There will be new KI merchandise coming in the future.
  • Expect a newly designed UI.
  • Have some new mechanics in place that they don’t believe has ever been seen in any other fighting game.
  • Microsoft and Iron Galaxy will be at EVO. There will be another Killer Instinct panel there like last year.
  • Classic costumes will be available for all characters in Season Two.
  • Killer Instinct 2 maybe be a bonus for those who purchase the Ultra Edition of Season Two.
  • Looking at ways to utilize the extra power of Xbox One following the June SDK update to better the game.
  • There will be some good accessory options for TJ.
  • Still no confirmation if Mick Gordon will be returning as composer, but to “trust them”.

TJ Combo has a comeback mechanic revolving around instinct. When TJ Combo has full instinct meter, if you lose the match via KO and the opponent fails to do an ultra, when TJ is on the ground he can pop instinct, and he causes a tremor on the ground which knocks the opponent down, although it doesn't cause damage. He then gets back up and gets some health back, about 20% I believe and gets another chance. The same concept applies to the other scenario, where you are getting ultrad. If you are getting ultrad you pop instinct and you interrupt your opponents ultra. So basically you can't style on TJ if he has full instinct meter, you'll have to cancel your ultra hella fast. They explain it a little more here:

So it IS possible play around TJ's resurrection? He doesn't always get it for free?

Only if his Instinct is full.

Think of it like Phoenix from (U)MvC3. She only becomes Dark Phoenix when KOd if she's got 5 bars of meter.

That's how I'm understanding it, anyway.

According to keits, yes correct. TJ Combo needs to have FULL INSTINCT to be able to utilize his resurrection comeback mechanic. If he does not have full instinct he can't use it. I doubt TJ combo having full instinct at the end of a match will be the norm. His instinct is too good to pass up on using it, the walkspeed and speed he gains is just crazy. Mark my words, when TJ drops the scrubs gonna call for nerfs. Frametraps into tick throw setups with command grab into aerial recapture combos, resets, comeback ressurection mechanic, the list goes on. Characters gonna be solid as hell.

I'm fan of a neat package but this will have to do in the mean time. Thanks.

Also, Mick Gordon is a must.

Agreed. Mick Gordon is essential to KI and I sincerely hope he agrees to do cuts for S2. I'm also waiting for the killer cuts album to drop, gonna buy it first thing when it come out. I'm one of the few remaining people that I know that still buys CD's. I have a huge collection of CD's.

Right, but there's ways to play around that by snapping her in and wailing on her before she gets full bar.

With TJ right now it seems like there is NO WAY for the opponent to prevent him from resurrecting. If he wants to, he will resurrect 100% of the time. I don't think I like that.

Among the fact that he can truly punish peopel for jumping
he has a natural wallbounce move with armor
he has a 41% damage ender
he has a command grab
He can revive if he dies.

I'd like to know if all the characters are going to get Ultimate combos like Shadow Jago the boss version has. If so this would make my day.

I'm not sure why you're saying this is a bad thing. The player sacrifices his ability to use instinct for comeback or closeout in exchange for what appears to be maybe one more reasonable combo worth of life. He doesn't get up with any of his instinct buffs, he can't use (or gain) instinct for a while after the resurrect and he doesn't get any positional reset. If anything, just imagine TJ has a slightly longer life bar than anyone else.

Edit: That said, TJ looks kinda weak.

Shoutouts to RKosmik for his hard work, but those are still 10-12 minute tracks and some of them still have pretty messy transitions. You couldn't even fit that whole "album" on a cd, and honestly I prefer the arrangement of some of his "dynamics" to those "kompletes". Either way, the whole point of an actual Killer Cuts cd release would be to hear the tracks as Mick composed them and not just pieced together by fans. The fact that its taken Microsoft, DH, and now Iron Galaxy this long and still no word since "March, maybe" on what is considered one of the best game soundtracks in recent history is a huge ball drop. Not even a sampler on Amazon or iTunes. If this was Halo or Uncharted the soundtrack would've been out before the game was even finished.
