I just want to let you know I have just purchased the definitive edition. Who cares, you might answer. But I have to say a thing or two. I own pretty much every fighting game released on PC and in the recent years I play only fighting games as much as I can.
Street Fighter V
Guilty Gear Xrd Sign
Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator
BlazBlue Calamity Trigger
BlazBlue Conftinuum Shift
BlazBlue Chronophantasma
Ultra Street Fighter IV
SkullGirls 2nd Encore
Mortal Kombat XL
Injustice: Gods among us
and now…
11) Killer Instinct
Seriously, this game is unique. It feels new, it feels fresh. It has amazing graphics, amazing particles. The combo system is so fun that after I have completed the tutorial in the free version, the only thing I thought was: I have to buy this game.
I want to see this game and his community grow as much as it is possible. Many people don’t realize how great this game is. I was one of them.
Please push this to make an entry at the EVO 2017 tournament. It can’t be missed.
Yeah, it being a console exclusive really limited it to a certain circle (though of course chances are without MS, this game probably wouldn’t have existed in the first place). It came to PC so late that the fanfare of it all is significantly reduced. I have lots of friends (across all consoles and PC) who simply didn’t even really know it existed in any meaningful form. They heard of it but didn’t think much on it (a number of times I said “I’ve been playing a ton of KI lately” and they thought I was playing the old school '94 game). Now that it’s on PC, at least I can spread the gospel to some of those players.
With that said, thankfully even years after its initial release, this game is definitely not dead at all and there’s still a great, active community and tons of things on the horizon for the future.
Also, if you really are new to the game, visit this now: http://ki.infil.net … This is pretty much required reading haha.

by the way, there is another character that came out recently, Kilgore. He is sold separately with half of the proceeds going to funding of tournaments. A bit pricey at $10 but it’s worth it, imho.
Don’t forget the netcode! I opened DoA on PS4 because it’s free… You choose your difficulty including an “online pro” option which adjusts for online lag even when playing solo.
Thankfully, this game plays like butter regardless of cross platform matchups or what’s happening on the screen.
Congrats! Welcome aboard! You are in the right place for all things KI. I recommend coming here on a daily basis to learn learn and learn!
The KI community is the best especially if you stay here and avoid the Facebook pages for your information.
Make sure to keep up with the KI world cup coming March 10-12!
Glad to see you are liking the game and are so positive about it. Spread the word!!! Since I got the game last year I have been convinced we (KI players) are experiencing something really special but as others have stated it being X1 exclusive for so long and it not being quite SF/MK popular back in the day make it kind of go under the radar for many which it sad because I think this KI is among the best of the best.
