Killer Instinct

First details for Omen, Herald of Gargos.

His Rapid Cancelling and Aerial Movement makes me think he'll be more like a Guilty Gear character.

Full gameplay reveal and breakdown for Omen

He is huge

BROCCOLI GOLEM BROCCOLI GOLEM BROCCOLI GOLEM BROCCOLI GOLEM BROCCOLI GOLEM HE LOOKS LIKE THE BIGGEST CHARACTER IN THE GAME AND HIS DESIGN IS AWESOME AND HE HAS JADE FISTS AND THIS IS THE FIRST CHARACTER I LEGITIMATELY AM HYPE FOR

Oh, and Omen looks cool too, I guess =P

HUUUUGE info on Broccoli-uh, sorry, Aganos

• Story: After being created was a war golem thousands of years ago, the wear-and-tear on his body over the long years made him lose his sense of identity and purpose until a king named him Aganos and told him to learn. However, the king learns of Kan-Ra's continued survival, and promptly orders Aganos to snuff him out, sending him on a mission that has continued into the modern day.
• His retro costume will be his fully formed self pre-decomposition
• He's simply ginormous, even Glacius is dwarfed by him
• He has a mechanic where he can build up a resource to use for the previously-seen wall creation, projectiles or even padding himself with armor like Glacius. The resource also changes his jumping, attack speed and general movement.
• His stage's concept art is gorgeous, and gets a stage Ultra

Gameplay stream next week!

You can throw and jump over him -Riptor has to use a specific move and Spinal has teleport-

Aganos Chunk System

Can give him up to 4 points armor however Each chunk slows him down considerably

Chunks can be consumed for projectiles and Walls

Walls have three hp requiring you to eithr A Knock Aganos down -which will deal one hit to all walls- A Wall bounce that deals 1 hit to the wall in question

or use a Wall Crash which will do heavy damage -and if you can manage to crash them through 4 walls thats 81%-

Walls can also be used to create a three hit use weapon.

The full stream is here http://www.twitch.tv/irongalaxy/b/624294939 <go to 11:00>

Here's the official trailer for Aganos!

...and maybe someone else

WARNING - Jump Scare at 2:19

Holy shit, Aganos' theme is incredible. Easily dethrones Maya's for my favorite, and that was already an excellent piece. I can't wait to hear the rest of it.

Aganos' ultra on his stage with the official music. the music... so epic.

Full version's out, from Mick Gordon himself!

It is as awesome as I expected. God damn.

So, in case anyone thought that Aganos' slow combos meant its Ultra Combo recapture wouldn't be that spectacular, you're wrong. =P

Hisako revealed

Say hi!

Art

I think she has counter grabs

edited 7th Mar '15 12:45:30 PM by FrozenWolf2

A character that focuses on counters more than anything else! I've wanted something like this for a fighting game character for a loooong time, so it's great to finally have one.

Apparently she is Grappler/Counter character... She only has shadow versions of her grabs though

That funky shadow grab is actually a normal special move with a Shadow version. No clue why it has similar effects.

15:20 in the video.

She's actually really tall.

She's actually floating a tiny bit. Hisako's mimicking the pose from Orchid's Instinct, but since she's too short to it with her feet on the ground to keep level with Orchid, Hisako's character model has to levitate.

Slight preview for the Storymode

Note -work in progress-

is that Max narrating?

Yes, I mean that is what he is officially working on, The KI story mode

i knew he was on the KI story team, but i didn't expect to hear him narrating. pretty cool, actually.

Here is the Pax panel

Hisako's ultra combo and stage ender.
