+Great Scott what's the point of a sequel? every season adds new mechanics, new characters, new balance changes, new stages, etc. what could a sequel possibly give you that can't be given already in this game?
+TaurusOxford I agree with Scott although I love KI I don't know if I would want a season 4 just cause I don't want the roster to be the size of like MVC 2 and having to memorize so many autodoubles/linkers and how to approach each MU is gonna be a pain. I'd rather them make KI4
I'm so proud of Iron Galaxy, Killer Instinct may not have the biggest fan base compared to it's competitiors but the developers show time after time they care about the game and community of Killer Instinct. Keits was going ham with Kim Wu, can't wait to see this at Evo with all the new cool add ons to characters and new combos that will be displayed on the big screen! Killer Instinct is gonna be hype this year EVO!
SDS Overfiend Yeah I'm sure it may be but I'm comparing it specifically to the Street Fighter, Smash Bros, Tekken and Marvel Communities. Not to mention for a free game the player base is small and most ppl give up because it's too difficult for them to get into and understand the fighting mechanics or not enough characters to play as.
Frank 9mm Luger I see what you are saying. Chalk that up to fanboyism,favoritism, Familiarity. 20 buck season add on with major changes improving gameplay.. This great but people don't appreciate others HARDWORK. Especially when coming from the mind of GAMERS. Sad day in Gaming.. Very sad. And I almost forgot.. A lot of folks are mad it's exclusive.
SDS Overfiend yeah you got a point there but overall the biggest is the exclusivity of the title. I know more ppl on PC, Nintendo and PlayStation that were excited for K.I until they saw Xbox Only exclusive world premiere for the title.
You know that episode the angry video game nerd did on Battletoads? Where they jam for a bit to the pause menu music? I kept mimicking that silly video anytime they referenced that specific music with Rash. Still think it's cute they thought they HAD to have looping thrust animations. I haven't heard many "No dude we gotta put this in the game." stories from game developers in awhile.
+rosenrot234 I've heard that clip back a few times, my thought process was... "Maybe you'll recognize it..." "Well it must be the pause music." *starts ultra* "Oh...that's not the pause music..." *guy yells "PAUSE MUSIC!!!"* "No, it isn't moron" "Yes, it's the pause music..." "Uhhhhh..." Like seriously, I don't hear it at all.
rosenrot234 I have no doubt that it is. Too many people say it is for me to think they just straight up got the song wrong. But I don't hear it while he's hitting them. It sounds close, I guess, but...
Rash and Kim Wu looked so sick especially Rashs Taunt lol #LoopableThrusting. Kim's face I'm kind of iffy about (hopefully she's still in beta like TJ was" but everything about her yells out fun:
+Guinness The Menace I'm ok with it being an Asian face but something about her face doesn't looks like it's been polished. I hope they haven't finished with her appearance. Her animations look good tho
Im not into KI, but i already love with the community,the DEVs are just Fans who loves the franchise and is always doing their best to optimize the game. Good Work guys!!
I like how they put the name & score details for the exhibition match, like for an actual tournament match. It's a very small detail, but wasn't expecting that just for a showcase fight :p Also, dat pelvic thrusting
All I can say from the matches they had is "HOLY CRAP, THE MIXUPS!" Between Jago's fireball cancels and Kim's blockstrings, crossups, and grabs, I feel like my reaction time would be severely tested and probably improved if I played this game.
Rash doing a cossack dance for a superlinker. The taunts. The idle animation. The fact that the bike no longer sucks. Everything. Rash is love. Rash is life.
i don't have the same love for rash and his cartooniness merged with the current/new ki visuals. can't say much else since i was not amidst the presence of battletoads, but the taunt is pretty good, i must say.
We need more nun-chuck users in video games today. The only other people who've used them recently were Ryu in Ninja Gaiden 2 and that one dude from Soul Caliber V.
I feel gameplay wise, Kim Wu was omegally improved. I loved her in KI2, but everyone didnt cuz she wasnt the strongest character, but she seems to be alot better here
I think I'm more excited about everything else that's going to happen in season 3 than I a about Kim wu to me she feels like Karin an over confident character who happens to stumble into some predicament and is now the shit but that's just me.
To see an entire room of grown ass people thrusting to a KI character *sniff. . .single tear* I never thought I would see the day, I am so proud of my generation.
+hunter guadiana (Noble Six) yeah he's Conan and if you don't know who Tusk is then you probably don't know who Conan is. He's just a barbarian dude with a giant sword that yells a lot. You'll see him after arbiter for sure.
People can argue all they want about how characters get "butchered" in the new version of KI, but you have to admit that they are doing a great job at keeping them faithful to the arcade/snes/n64 games ;) Kim Wu is a descendant of the original one from KI Gold; the game's story happened in the past (yeah, time travel was involved in that one), thus this Kim Wu would be a modernized variation now. Furthermore, she's still a redhead, still wields a nunchuck and still wears a purple outfit. Beside, her retro costume will be available soon after and I'm positive about it being like in KI Gold. Hey, they haven't censored Maya's retro outfit, so... Kinda wished that they went through Rash's moveset like they did for the other characters, because I would have loved to see what attacks become what weapons :D Considering that he was a beta character, that would have been nice to see a complete breakdown; he kinda was added unannounced by IG. Remember, he was directly announced at a regular Microsoft presentation. One thing I did hate about the tournament is that it was announced that there would be a "special announcement" on Sunday at 5pm Pacific / 7pm Central / 8pm Eastern... only to reveal how they tweaked the Combo Assist tool... Really? That's... not a "special" announcement. I would have loved to seen Tusk, so they can stop teasing him already.
Yeah she still looks a bit raw in the face. She's no Maya that's for sure. But hey When TJ was first shown, he was a bit raw too. So, it can get better
Who's the kid in the right with the KI world cup shirt during the rash rundown? I'm down for hype and enjoy seeing people getting hyped, but that was just obnoxious
She looks awesome. Her fighting style / moveset / instinct are sick. Her design is cool too. They just need to fix his face but overall it's a win. Good job.
Dragon dance?
+ 1 speed
+ 1 attack
+Paco Sinbad doubt anyone here well get that :P
+evilryu4489 I get it!
+Paco Sinbad I see you Mega Gyrados
Gotta give dem dragons da dragon dance
MrTacoKing SSBM "He's trying to set up!"
LOOPAPLE THRUSTING
TOTALLY A FEATURE XD
+Epic-Fran! It's totally going to get buffed season 4
People say there is no such thing as perfection but how else would you explain this.
I need that for Captain Falcon ASAP.
+Great Scott what's the point of a sequel? every season adds new mechanics, new characters, new balance changes, new stages, etc. what could a sequel possibly give you that can't be given already in this game?

Loving the new Design of Kim Wu
+ProGamer Not big on her face, but the rest of her looks pretty great.
+Lizarius Well she is chinese and chinese women look like that. Not saying that your offending anyone, just saiyan :/
+Lizarius A total But-her-face amiright?
Nailed it.
+Dustin Pecson She doesn't look Chinese, she looks Australian. They should've also given her some freaking accent.
Rash just stepped up fighting game taunts, holy shit. Get on KI's level, everyone else.
"Show me ya moves"
+Ariel Gonzalez "If you need to learn how to talk to a lady, ask your mum."
Nintendo did the same with upcoming Bayonetta for Smash as well.
(She comes out on the 3rd!)
February is the year of fighting game hype. :D
+GaelikTW lol
***** ... i dun goofed.
I didnt play the game (no XB) and I watched three hours of this presentation, very well done.
super hyped. waiting for the Win10 version.
you wont be dissapointed
Rash may just be...my new main...I'm sorry Riptor
same here
+Shayne Rawls
Future Humanized Amphibians > Prehistoric Cybernetic Reptiles
Same man hope they have pimple and zit costumes lol.
+justin carrabello With the unique voice acting for each costume? Yes please!
TyronMakeka nah they'll probably just have accessories and the colors for zit and pimple
Jago is the Crouching Tiger, Kim Wu is the Hidden Dragon. I just noticed this.
.....oh Holy Shit.
I'm so proud of Iron Galaxy, Killer Instinct may not have the biggest fan base compared to it's competitiors but the developers show time after time they care about the game and community of Killer Instinct. Keits was going ham with Kim Wu, can't wait to see this at Evo with all the new cool add ons to characters and new combos that will be displayed on the big screen!

*Competitors*
Compared to Virtua fighters... This community is HUGE

anyone notice the background was supposed to be from "Big Trouble in Little China" and the truck belonged to Jack Burton?
You know that episode the angry video game nerd did on Battletoads? Where they jam for a bit to the pause menu music? I kept mimicking that silly video anytime they referenced that specific music with Rash. Still think it's cute they thought they HAD to have looping thrust animations. I haven't heard many "No dude we gotta put this in the game." stories from game developers in awhile.
+rosenrot234 The same thing for me! I remember AVGN episode about BattleToads too! XD
+rosenrot234 I've heard that clip back a few times, my thought process was...
"Maybe you'll recognize it..."
"Well it must be the pause music."
*starts ultra*
"Oh...that's not the pause music..."
*guy yells "PAUSE MUSIC!!!"*
"No, it isn't moron"
"Yes, it's the pause music..."
"Uhhhhh..."
Like seriously, I don't hear it at all.
TenEightEP
It is indeed the pause menu. As best as they can get it anyway with Rash hitting something.
+TenEightEP Its easier to hear the second time they do it
rosenrot234 I have no doubt that it is. Too many people say it is for me to think they just straight up got the song wrong. But I don't hear it while he's hitting them. It sounds close, I guess, but...
I can imagine Rash players looping that pelvic thrust to disrespect someone.
+DarkSamusFan11 The new T-Bag
Indeed.
Yep. lol XD
+SmoothLegend nah, mid combo thrusting action
That too lol.
Good News! The Fine Bros caved in and cancelled their trademark
+Fernando lol
+Fernando The damage is done, screw those guys
the internet has won
+Fernando Why even mention that here?
+Fernando what did I miss? o.O
Kim Wu got dat Nunchuck swag.........
Time to see what Rash and Kim Wu are all about.
Rash is all about pelvic thrusts and pause menu ultra combos.
Skullgirls Fukua reaction ending.
+TaurusOxford 💯% accurate
+TaurusOxford Never have i heard such a perfect description for anything in my life.
+TaurusOxford His Ultra should consist entirely of pelvic thrusts.
wow.. love that the crowd were so in to this!! community!! #THISISAWESOME! :D
"Why don't you turn on Combo Assist so you can do the ultra?"
God, Max is the best.
Was that the truck from Big Trouble in little China? It looks like it but the strips are red instead of blue.
The whole stage is a nod to the movie
So basically...
They took Buffy, mixed her with Bruce Lee and created Kim Wu...
Okay...??
+Jagos Kim Wu was from the second KI.
That actually sounds pretty cool
+Jagos Lo l That sounds wrong?
+Jagos Good Job explaining Kim Wu, this entire game is stereotypes, get used too it.
smartboy201 I remember THAT Kim Wu. But THIS one is... Something else entirely.
Rash and Kim Wu looked so sick especially Rashs Taunt lol #LoopableThrusting. Kim's face I'm kind of iffy about (hopefully she's still in beta like TJ was" but everything about her yells out fun:
She's still in beta
You mean the Asian look?
+Guinness The Menace I'm ok with it being an Asian face but something about her face doesn't looks like it's been polished. I hope they haven't finished with her appearance. Her animations look good tho
the Kim Wu stage reminds me of the Alley fight in "Big trouble in little China". One of my fav movies.
Time to see how Wendy Wu has changed since Disney
KIM WU loooks super awesome HYPEEE killer instinct men..!!!!!!
I'm guessing dragon dance doesn't increase her attack and speed.
+Your Next Line is solid pokemon reference
+Your Next Line is I'm guessing dragon dance doesn't increase her attack and sp- NANI!??! OH MY GOD!
Im not into KI, but i already love with the community,the DEVs are just Fans who loves the franchise and is always doing their best to optimize the game.
Good Work guys!!
27:06 The Max cameo.
Sajam only saw Jago's Fireball cancels a couple of time and he basically started frame trapping Keits like he didn't work on the game.
Something is really weird with the audio being off for me. Is anyone experiencing the audio being a bit ahead of the video.
daaaamn Kim wu is OP
@0:36 in... "he's a mean frog"... HE'S A TOAD lmao
I like how they put the name & score details for the exhibition match, like for an actual tournament match. It's a very small detail, but wasn't expecting that just for a showcase fight :p
Also, dat pelvic thrusting
Can't wait till season 3 lmao holy shit.
All I can say from the matches they had is "HOLY CRAP, THE MIXUPS!" Between Jago's fireball cancels and Kim's blockstrings, crossups, and grabs, I feel like my reaction time would be severely tested and probably improved if I played this game.
I like Kim Wu's new design and her gameplay is pretty cool and her firecracker move will make her deadly to anyone who spams projectiles.
Rash doing a cossack dance for a superlinker. The taunts. The idle animation. The fact that the bike no longer sucks. Everything.
Rash is love. Rash is life.
Rash's taunt lol
Now can someone put that loop-able thrusting with a certain voice clip that those who watch the streams often know of? You know the one.
Im excited for Season 3!
They didn't use the new jab jab jab dash put down tech.
Ancient Japanese secret.
+Nathan Lemuel Chinese :)
Fucking Big Trouble In Little China reference!!!!!!!!!
That's totally Jack Burton's truck that crashes in in the Kim Wu stage!!!!!! XD
Dude im in love with that one guy who just copies everything that happens on screen lmao.
people screamed during the ultra, i couldn't hear the ultra song :'(
damn it
+Aurélio Magno Cunha they said the song wasn't implemented yet, was at the event.
+Aleusks oh ok, sorry :P
Looks amazing!
7:23
is that shofu!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Rash and Tusk are seriously the reason I'm getting season 3. I played season 2 for a while but finally moved on. I'm definitely back now, though! lol
Rash's combo = Thrust>Thrust>T-Bag>Thrust>Tongue>Slo_Thrust>Tongue>T-Bag>T-Bag
Damn I thought Rash was gonna Dab! MAX!
16:01
OH MY GOD
I hope we get to see the arbiter soon! :3
They've done a good job with this new Killer Instinct game. I would play it as much as SF if I had a XB1
+GRAHF Comin' to PC, yo. Snag it there~
+Lizarius you folks never get tired of this shit. everybody knows that, you beggars just like to repeat it to make yourself feel better.
+Zurg Goide triggered
+FellTheSky he's not wrong though😂
Ahhh dude, I want a Battletoads movie now, screw Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, lol and shout out to the crowd for the WWE "THIS IS AWESOME" chant
i don't have the same love for rash and his cartooniness merged with the current/new ki visuals. can't say much else since i was not amidst the presence of battletoads, but the taunt is pretty good, i must say.
I thought they were gonna show the little teaser at the end of the Kim Wu reveal trailer live at KI Cup. Sadly not
We need more nun-chuck users in video games today. The only other people who've used them recently were Ryu in Ninja Gaiden 2 and that one dude from Soul Caliber V.
Kim looks great. Changes look great. Stages look great. So much fun.
Game looks dope.
I feel gameplay wise, Kim Wu was omegally improved. I loved her in KI2, but everyone didnt cuz she wasnt the strongest character, but she seems to be alot better here
Looks better than Maya reboot and Kim Wu feels better than before. Hopefully they give her a classic costume.
They will. Every character will have a retro costume.
I think I'm more excited about everything else that's going to happen in season 3 than I a about Kim wu to me she feels like Karin an over confident character who happens to stumble into some predicament and is now the shit but that's just me.
I really like Kim Wu's character she's sarcastic and spunky and spirited
To see an entire room of grown ass people thrusting to a KI character *sniff. . .single tear* I never thought I would see the day, I am so proud of my generation.
Kim Wu looks awesome
they did a really good job with her
much hype
I was real skeptical about Kim Wu.
But damn, she looks mad fun.
Does anyone else feel Kim Wu's stage is very similar to Big Trouble in Little China? Even the truck is very close to it.
Wait 'til you see the new Rash dittos.
HELLO MY BABY
HELLO MY HONEY
All we need is a top hat and a monocle...
+ZECTCustomUnit "Oh no....not again..."
The crowd is half the entertainment in this vid!
im more exited for arbiter
+hunter guadiana (Noble Six) Tusk
Who the hell is tusk, I'm not really a hardcore ki person
+hunter guadiana (Noble Six) pretty much Conan the barbarian
+MexicanfNinja DAH
+hunter guadiana (Noble Six) yeah he's Conan and if you don't know who Tusk is then you probably don't know who Conan is. He's just a barbarian dude with a giant sword that yells a lot. You'll see him after arbiter for sure.
I love that everyone was impressed with kim wu's gameplay but the crowd boos at them for not getting the ULTRA COMBOOOOOOO!!!
This was so hype
Gotta see the EVO quality thrusting strats!
People can argue all they want about how characters get "butchered" in the new version of KI, but you have to admit that they are doing a great job at keeping them faithful to the arcade/snes/n64 games ;)

loop-able thrusting new meta
I want a new Battletoads game so badly. It was an awesome game back in the 90s.
"Loopable thrusting" I'm fuckin dying man XDD
When you got Rash doing pelvic thrusts with messages like "Unload the Toad" appearing...I feel like I'm on newgrounds ._.
LMAO! The stage has a Jack Burton cameo!
Black/green shirt dude with the camera getting hyped so hard
Killer Instinct Season 3 was awesome!!!
Rash would be the BEST person to take to a rave with all that thrusting. Hands down best taunt in video games...EVER.
Well looks like people want to see that Classic Kim Wu costume
Pelvic Thrust Taunts. I'm having flashbacks to Unreal Tournament.
It's insane how people freaked out at TEKKEN 7 at said that the graphics look outdated, when now with KI, Kim Wu looks like a model from the N64.
+Royal Knight You're reaching ..She looks great and n64 ? At least say 360.
+Royal Knight I'd say Dreamcast-ish, but even THAT is pushing it.
+Carlos Alexandre That was me being generous! I was about to say PS1! But that would be unfair...
+jinxfire Maybe...but you know what I'm saying, right?
Yeah she still looks a bit raw in the face. She's no Maya that's for sure. But hey When TJ was first shown, he was a bit raw too. So, it can get better
LMAO everyone in the room is ecstatic at the thought of loop-able thrust except the girl in the bottom right 5:10
I like the special effects and graphics and hits but I like the original killer instinct
Everyone turn on subtitles. I promise you won't regret it.
Where's kims FIRE FLOWER??!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! i loved that move so much
Was hoping to see audience reaction to the Halo tease.
Max could you upload the casual season 3 matches that i remember were shown on the stream ?
Rash is my new main... THAT THRUST TAUNT!! XD
It would be funny to see Rash pick up Aganos and walk around holding him over his head...
Rash and Kim Wu are great but I'm low key excited for arbiter.
Rash looks like a lot of fun.
Who's the kid in the right with the KI world cup shirt during the rash rundown? I'm down for hype and enjoy seeing people getting hyped, but that was just obnoxious
That Rash pelvic thrust hype...
Her pressure game is INSANE
17:32 XD they are going to nerf that for sure
Kim Wu. Now found my main!
Kim Wu = Maxi's great granddaughter.
I'M TOO EXCITED FOR KIM WU. SHE MIGHT BE MY NEW MAIN SINCE SHE KINDA PLAYS SIMILAR TO MAYA.
ONE OF MY CURRENT MAINS.
MAN, CAPSLOCK IS THE BEST. AM I RIGHT OR AM I RIGHT?
+Dark Matter YOU'RE RIGHT
+Dark Matter YES IT IS.
She looks awesome. Her fighting style / moveset / instinct are sick. Her design is cool too. They just need to fix his face but overall it's a win. Good job.
Am I the only one that thought Maxi from Soul Calibur made the jump to KI after watching Kim Wu?
