Killer Instinct Season 3 Details

Awww. I wanted to see those purple shadow bars in action. Purple is such a great color.

Actually orchids shadow colors should be fire yellow as it was in s1 that’s her main color

Yeah, I thought either the firecats or the green from her color 1. You should go check that thread out though

So we ARE getting a Tusk stream?! :grinning:
Excellent! Sure I wish I could see the new UI stuff but having a stream would be nice.
If I may, what time should this stream be going down?

Meh. I’d take the “generic” gray shadows over that. :confused:

aww man,i was the 6th person to guess the correct launch date :cry: @rukizzel

Man! I’m bummed about the wait on use of fight sticks from Xbox One. But it’s whatever. It’s gonna be on the system anyhow.

Quick question about the xbone fightsticks
is that going to be compatibility with Win10 in general or just with KI on Win10?

The Xbox One stick thing is a super bummer, for sure. It’s even worse than the SFV PS4 sticks not working on PC (marginally
) because they’ve had 2 years to fix it and they just haven’t cared.

But I think in the meantime you can make them work if you open up the stick and do a little rewiring? You just have to move that HK button away from a trigger and plug in the wire for the LB button, then remap your buttons one time. And it’s not a permanent thing either, you can put the wire back when the driver comes out. From what I know, it’s actually super easy and doesn’t require any soldering or technical knowledge, and there’s no real risk of damaging your stick.

Sucks that you have to do it at all, but it’s an option if you have no other stick to use.

Every time someone tells me to rewire my stick to get it to work on PC I get irritated. I know that it’s an irrational position to take, but I just get this feeling of “why the hell should I have to rewire anything to make my proprietary MS stick work with my MS operating system?” And I get righteously indignant and booing and hissing ensues.

More to the point, Windows 10 to my knowledge just flat out doesn’t recognize the X1 TE2. I’ve never been able to get it to register anything more than turning the controller on, and nothing, not rolling back drivers, no compatibility updates, nothing, can get it to do anything except sit on my lap looking pretty. :confused:

The same thing is happening to my elite controller on PC. It doesn’t get recgonized.

Yeah, so what people are talking about is if you use a cheat stick like Chronus Max, etc. to get it recognized as a normal X1 controller, then the triggers don’t work correctly. The TE2 makes it easy to swap buttons by rewiring, but I agree with you - this shouldn’t be necessary.

It’s been pretty well clustered right from the start - and we are two years into the X1 life cycle and no one seems to care enough to fix it. Really frustrating.

So should I not buy a fightstick for KI? Since I make artwork I thought it’d be cool to get one made by someone but I keep hearing they aren’t supported. Anyone?

I want to put all the girls on one template

It depends. The official fightsticks are not supported on PC at this point. However, if you get a custom build that uses a PCB from a normal xbox one controller it will be fine. All of the controllers work on Xone, provided the game supports it.

EDIT: I realized this wasn’t clear. Custom made controllers using a standard controller PCB work on all games on both Xbox and Win 10. They are more functional. Official Xbox One fightsticks (TE2 and Atrox) work only on Xbox One games that specifically support them - which is all the fighting games at this point. Windows 10 drivers are supposedly coming but won’t be available at launch of KI on PC.

Haven’t read through this whole thread, but I have a question


My friend purchased Killer Instinct on the Xbox market place when it was on sale last year. He was anticipating cross buy on the PC. He doesn’t have and Xbone. Is having an Xbone a prerequisite for being able to transfer it to the PC or can he download it from the marketplace on PC? Hope that makes sense.

Thanks!

If you own it on one, you own it on both.
