Killer Instinct coming to PC

So is there even a reason left to get an xbone if you get a gaming pc, a PS4, and Wii U? Xbone seems to be the system with the least value as getting a pc will have pretty much cover any exclusives it may have.

We are returned! Death to the False Emperor!
Oh fuck...now I may need to get an actual gaming computer or an alienware laptop or something...

I'm glad for pc gamers but I don't really play this game anymore since most second season and season 1 chars nullify Glacius gameplay.

He suffers from way too many bad MUs I just gave up on this game.
So then why do I still see Glacius players performing well?

As an example, my teammate RM Cloud, a Glacius player, actually sent UA Bass to Loser's Bracket at ECT last weekend...and Bass is known for being amongst the best Spinal players in the universe. Granted, Bass won their runback in Loser's, but still, let that sink in.

It is undoubtedly difficult to control a character with slow walk speed, no dash, and a large-ass hitbox, but I tend to think that players do not realize how dangerous his combination of Hail and Shatter are in the right hands...God save you if you ever get caught in set-ups where you have no idea as to which one will hit first, especially in the corner. And that DAMAGE! The possibilities with Glacius are endless.

P.S. No, I'm not flaming you for your opinion, just trying to rekindle your hopes in the character by relaying experiences.

Back to the topic. I actually never thought that a PC release would happen considering that Killer Instinct was meant to be an exclusive launch title for XB1, but this gives me hope that the KI community will expand beyond what it is right now. Too bad a release date probably won't come till long after this year's EVO. :(

I've been hoping for this since KI was first announced! Now I can actually play and appreciate the game instead of just appreciating the soundtrack.

Meh, I think it's been proven PC gamers don't like fighting games. After a month out every fighting game on PC dies. PC players are always on the move to something else.
Its almost like PC players are all about whatever game isnt out yet

He is a good char but his bad MUs are impossible 7-3 and 8-2s everywhere.

He is really fun to play, back in season 1 Glacius did ok but after season 2 he is kinda done. Shatter got nerfed too.

I see the opposite, but apparently your mind is made up. It is what it is.

Can't wait to finally play Kan-rah, Glacius, Aganos, Cinder, Omen, Aria, Spinal and Thunder! Too many sick characters in KI to pick from.

So SFV will be cross-platform.

KI comes to pc and will be cross-platform.

And then we have MK X,which they aren't even able to make it work without crashing.Clearly,those skins aren't going to design themselves though.God,i hate NRS right now.

I know right, really sad, I'm just glad I can play MKX on PC without crashing. I still have frame drops on specific stages and occasionally on ex moves like quans skulls the first time they're used and ice clones shattering but at least it can hold me over to these two games come out.

Do any of you guys know any youtube channels that go over KI related things? Guides, chracter rundowns, gameplay w/ commentary or any good matches to watch? I'm going through that guide Johnny posted but it'd be nice to have some more visual learning to mix in with it.

well I am not sure about this PC ps4 or PC Xbox1 cross platform thing.... Still think PC will have shittier net code compared to console... is it actually possible to make same net code for PC and console ? Cuz PC net code for Mkx is still garbage compared to PS4 ?

Dude,it's about the internet connection.There are a lot of people that play on wifi and stuff like that.If your internet is good,the netcode is good,that simple.I'm from Romania,i've played a friend that's in Dubai,that's ~4000 KM away and it ran freaking perfect.We got great connections though.

Good internet = good netcode,but it's gotta be on both sides.

no fucking way dude.. I have good internet connection, and I do play on PC and ps4 (mkx) and difference is huge.... and my question was about cross platform .... I know how good/bad is net code for mkx, I play it everyday.

How hard do you think this game will be to run? Easier, same or harder to run than MKX? Cause I can run that fine with only a few hiccups here and there which are usually from bugs within the port.
