Killer Instinct Season 2 is officially live! FIGHT ON!

Blue Blurs for Life!
AT LAST, IT HAS BEGUN! After an agonizing wait, Season 2 of Killer Instinct has hit the Xbox Live network! If you own the Ultra Edition or Combo Breaker package for KI Season 2, you should immediately have access to TJ Combo and Maya as playable characters, in addition to their respective levels. It may take some time for you to get used to the new layout within the game, but we can assure you that it will be worth every second of it! FIGHT ON!

When you turn on your Xbox One console, you should see that the artwork for your digital copy of Killer Instinct has changed to the following image (take out the words Ultra Edition).

If this is the case for you, you are good to go - if not, try hard-resetting your console by holding the power button for ten seconds, or try unplugging the power cord and putting it back in. Don't forget to make sure that your Internet source is working as well.

Additionally, if you haven't seen it yet, check out this trailer shared by @Eldriken at this thread. It includes the silhouettes of the new characters that are expected to make their debut during Season 2. If you're a longtime fan of the classics, you may recognize two of the shadowed images...

As we speak, Twitch TV streamers are turning on their channels to demonstrate their sojourn into Season 2! Check out our Live Streams tab to the right of the forum page to find them!

With Iron Galaxy and Microsoft leading off the new era for Killer Instinct, we are excited to see what else comes our way! So what are you waiting for?! Boot up your game and get ready for C-C-C-COMBO BREAKERS!

Fun fun fun.

My only problem is that alternate accessories for Maya and TJ are locked with gold or level requirements. What did I buy Ultra for?

Are you serious? And by Gold do you mean Xbox Live Gold member? And level? Sorry, I'm not home to check. Everything should be fucking unlocked. I've paid $80.00+ so far for 10 characters. The least they can do is release the extras like they did for season 1.

There's this thing called KI Gold which is some currency you buy with real bucks. You can also unlock them by leveling up the character level by playing a lot with that character.
Not sure if they'll eventually be unlocked but it's pretty bullshit.
 
Just took Maya into practice mode.

This character is insanely good. I don't care about this "wait to find out" crap, she has the best frame data on her normals by a country mile- puts Orchid and Sarewulf to shame. Will probably pick her up now.
 
man i just need ultra edition for season 1 and im golden im willing to dlc share with any1 i have season 2 ultimate PM me.
 
So.. When I open season 2. It comes up with the blue logo and then goes right to a black screen. The game isn't showing up for me. Anyone else having this issue?

Well, I'm officially angry already. I don't have much time to play as it is and found the old unlockables to be a pain in the ass. Just give me the fucking items, for fuck's sake. Even if it was required to beat arcade mode with each character to get the items, I'd be ok with that. Grinding for weeks to get a fuckin' eye patch for Combo doesn't sound like a good time to me.

So just play the game and have fun. Eventually shit will unlock.

I guess as long as I can unlock it for free it's not that bad. Asking me to pay to unlock the shit they said would be included is pretty bullshit, though.

Lots of stuff I dont understand about the new rankings/unlocks. I wish there was a guide to it somewhere, which is kind of odd in itself
