you didnt got the sarcasm though
Didnât know you could kill whatâs undead, last I checked KI was dead for 20 something years, came back to life and repeatedly died anytime there was something people disagreed with yet itâs still ongoing lol.

I didnât, and thank you for letting me know. Itâs kinda hard to interpret that from typed words. 
I deleted my post.
Where are the light lords?
Well this is the official description for the first comic
âThe Shadow Lord Gargos has been defeated! But the battle to save humankind from his Astral invasion has taken a terrible toll on the Earth. Our world lies in ruin, and a sinister new power called the Coven has risen from the ashes, vying with the megacorporation Ultratech to rule the shattered nations. The heroes Kim Wu and Jagoâtheir Astral powers weakened by their devastating war against Gargosâmust band together with the scattered remnants of the Night Guard to forge a pathway into the Astral Plane. Here, in the birthplace of The Shadow Lord and The Guardians, festers the secret malevolence that threatens to destroy them allâŠand enslave the world forever.â
Which kind of contradicts what you said about the characters becoming shadow lords, evil, and all powerful.

I will say this: KIâs story makes sense as a whole, but the delivery methods of conveying that story are a jumbled mess because of how the game story is broken up season to season, where one (S1)is a series of what-ifs, and the other (S3 Shadow Lords) is so massive and interweaving itâs hard to glean a cohesive narrative out of it in a single, or even 20 playthroughs. But it is what it is, and itâs all there if youâre willing to dig. Itâs definitely a jumbled up puzzle for sure, but it doesnât help when you swear the puzzle is supposed to be a boat when the picture on the box shows it actually makes a motorcycle.
The guardians in SL are some of them. Kim Wuâs Dragon and Tuskâs sword (I believe?) are others.

the game itself says âyou have become the shadow lordâ. Itâs getting really hard putting all together.
Think of it as the generic âyou winâ you get at the end of most fighting game play throughsâŠ

Letâs propose an auto response then.
âIf Killer Instinct is so bad then why donât you take IGâs job and do better?â
After that. Leave. If the critic accepts the challenge, then we can determine where KI goes.
Fair?

They want a response, any response. Even a witty premade one.

To be fair? I greatly dislike the Shadow Lords mode and its attempt at being a ârogue-likeâ because honestly it doesnât work all that well and the barebones story is pretty awful. Pick General Raam and be just as kind and dedicated to saving the world as Maya. It makes literally no difference because the story does not actually matter. Thereâs no sense of relationship building between characters in the roster and nothing compelling in game that makes you care about anything or anyone because there is no story being told. Some barks before and after a conflict, banter that does not matter whatsoever between characters because itâs all repeat static dialog. Hell even the occassional codex battles that reveal a bit of the characterâs backstory doesnât matter because none of the characters actually interact outside of kicking each otherâs butt with an outcome that changes nothing in the end.
The game is fine, I will say that. Best music of any fighting game I have ever personally played, top notch graphics and relatively smooth animation. Great netcode. Great fighting game mechanics, has so very much nostalgia.
The big problem is that the in-game lore is bare-bones at the very best and requires an outside medium to make sense of anything, since there is absolutely no Rivals or Arcade mode for all the season 3 newcomers. Itâs frustrating that in order to have a basic understanding of the role of the characters of season 3 it is required that you go through the long RNG farming process through a mode recently made maddeningly difficult to get an un-animated, un-voiced bio split up into several entries that you may or may not find during your playthroughs whether you use that character or not, or read about all the lore via a completely seperate medium; in this case, a comic. Would it not be better to rather than just give the character a bog-standard canned ending to instead get a simple introduction-rival-end-boss type arcade mode?
I personally feel that Shadow Lord was made to artificially increase game playing time to try to keep the userbase engaged in this way for single player afficionados, but the truth is I had more fun playing simple survival mode than I ever did with Shadow Lords.
