Blue Blurs for Life!
While North Carolina erupted with the beginning phase for The Fall Classic, Microsoft's Adam Isgreen launched another textual stream regarding the preparatory launch phase for Killer Instinct Season 2! There isn't much he discloses here, but I have a feeling you'll be wracking your brains to figure out the cryptic portions of his announcement...especially when you read the last section. In this post, we are told about the progress on characters 3-6 in the Season 2 roster (they are not announced here), along with fixes and balancing.
Here is the full post from Mr. Isgreen at the Ultra Combo forums, seen at this link: http://www.ultra-combo.com/forums/index.php?topic=2747.0
The Pre-S2 launch Textual Stream!
Hello everyone, we’re back with a quick textual stream this week, as everyone at IG and MS are getting stuff set up for S2 Launch next week!
Characters:
We’re hard at work on characters 3, 4, 5, and 6 at the moment, all in various stages of design and art, plus the unique new coding that each one requires.
Character #3 has two clear mastery levels. Basic attacks are simple to learn and will be understood rapidly, but once you strive to push the boundaries, expect to be extremely challenged. This is not a character that embraces “easy to master”.
Fixes & balancing:
In addition to adding new content, we’re addressing bugs and will release patch notes right before each update. Y’all have been great at finding bugs and inconsistencies and reporting them. THANK YOU! We will certainly address them as we move through the season – I can’t promise we got them all for this month’s release, but we will continue to fix issues as we go.
When it comes to balancing (not just outright bug fixes), we’re going to be moving intentionally slower on changes. We want the players to have a bit more time with the current systems before we make any sweeping changes. Please continue to provide your feedback, and know that while we don’t respond to a majority of the threads, we are listening and reading.
Teases:
Finally, with the launch trailer likely to cause some head explosions, here’s some random teases of stuff from some of S2’s cast:
LET'S GET READY FOR SEASON 2'S OFFICIAL LAUNCH, PLAYERS!

- “Cornered” will take on a whole new meaning…
- Be careful where you step…
- Think a bit before that jump-in…
- Fear the potential damage…
