Killer Instinct Textual Stream (10/3/14) - Fight Challenges and New Level System

Blue Blurs for Life!
We are now eleven days away from the launch of Killer Instinct Season 2. Just yesterday, Microsoft hosted their weekly textual stream where they discuss the new user interface for Season 2, including the massive revamp in fight titles (now called Fight Challenges) and unlocked content. Take a look at this portion of Adam Isgreen's post at the Ultra Combo forums before proceeding to the link at the end of this post to read the rest.

Fight Challenges (Titles)


​
As we talked about last week, the new progression system that launches with Season 2 allows you to earn all character unlocks regardless of how you like to play KI. Fight Challenges (formerly known as titles) now contribute XP to your character and player levels every time you earn one.

Here’s some of the highlights of the new fight challenges system:
  • All Fight Challenges now earn you XP every time you complete a rank in one.
  • Fight Challenges such as special moves and aerial attacks now progress by executing them, not only when they successfully connect. Numbers required on the challenges have been adjusted to take this into account.
  • Character-specific Fight Challenges like combo breakers award XP that goes both to your individual character level and your overall player level.
  • General Fight Challenges like total matches played award XP to your player level only.
  • The total XP you can earn from completing all of a character’s Fight Challenges alone will net you over 50% of the XP to reach a character’s maximum level!
So now the one bummer in all of this – we have to reset the levels of all S1 Fight Titles and Trials. However, the things you have already earned in S1 will NOT be reset. This includes Concept Art, Player Taunts, Skins, and Profile Icons. When you boot up S2, you will automatically be awarded the S2 Trials and Fight Challenges that are associated with those items, which means you will immediately be awarded the items plus XP for your player level and character levels for any of these you’ve already done. This is why we want everyone to spend their KP NOW.

I'm a fan of the new ui.

I just hope they make colors easier to unlock so I can always play color 4 Wulf in tournament. FRQ colors are kinda my thing.
