In news for the new Killer Instinct this week, there are a couple of items worth checking out for fans of the upcoming game. First, Double Helix Games has posted a community poll on their Facebook page, asking fans which names they'd like to see announced onscreen at the end of longer combos. The options include safe bets like 'Maximum Combo' along with community-centered phrases like 'Godlike', 'Wombo Combo' and 'Filthy' (in honor of Filthierich).

Also, due to some of the misinformation floating around after the announcement of the new game's pricing structure, veteran Capcom personality Maximilian took some time to break down KI's pricing models in a video aimed at clearing up some of the misconceptions. He explains why the term 'free to play' is misleading, and goes through the different options buyers will have for purchasing the game at launch.

Double Helix seems to be right at home making this game. Maybe that was the problem they were devs and fans of fighting games but making non- fighting games.

I wonder could the commentator say "A A A" "A A A" with each juggle?

i agree with max about the ability to buy only a certain amount of characters being a good thing. initially i didn't like the idea of it but it might be an awesome thing. guess we'll have to see with the actual prices.

also wombo combo fuck yes lol

Who cares if it's set up to get hesitant gamers interested in it or fighting games? When it's console exclusive you lose at least 50% of the target audience.
