News & Information - Coming sooner than you think

Kan-Ra and Maya need to be nerfed or reworked because their gameplays basically revolve around spamming difficult-to-counter projectiles.

Kan-Ra, in particular, is no “trap-zoner”; he’s an abomination.

Can’t wait to learn more!!

Quick version: KV changes (bigger combos!), many characters are getting buffs, a few are getting nerfs / balance changes, and two (ooh! Drama! Which two?) are having some rework done to them.

VERY interesting. Two characters are having rework done to them? My guesses would be:

Jago: I don’t think they’ll dramatically change what he already does, but given how much they gave Shadow Jago, it wouldn’t shock me if they gave Jago some other stuff to further differentiate him from his dark counterpart.

Omen: They know what people think about him and given that Shago now has his slide, it kinda makes me wonder if they might not give this character a bit of a makeover of sorts. I think a good number of people would like to see this happen.

Definitely psyched to see a rebalance leading up to season 3. I’m hoping that’ll mean some more flash and perhaps some complementary moves for the original six characters.

Really love that they’re fleshing out the story elements and while it’s great that the new info will be available on the website, shouldn’t canon info like that also be in the game somewhere as well, like in recreated bios or edited bios or something along those lines for each character?

Either way, definitely glad that the hype train is starting up, and really looking forward to the return of the textual streams! Can’t wait for more info! :smile:

Kan-Ra’s one of my favorite characters. Then again, I don’t sit around and spam projectiles. He could use some work in that regard, but he’s hardly an abomination.

Aganos seems very likely. Right now, he’s like Season 1 Fulgore, where every knockdown is used to replenish resources rather than set up offense. Reworking the more “traditional” characters wouldn’t make much sense… that is, if “rework” refers to balance changes.

I could see a change happening to his chunk system, where he maybe has 2-3 offensive chunks for walls/projectiles and 1-2 defensive chunks for armor, which might slow him down less or not at all.

I would like to ask a question for a straight forward answer: is it planned an early access for PC gamers in order to stress test the servers / compatibility problems that might happen in computers?

AND THE EXCITEMENT JUST CAME BACK!!!

God i love this game!

Amazing guys! The perfect way to start a season!

We haven’t shared any details around the PC version yet, so keep an eye out for more in the future.

That’s a great question. You’ll just have to wait and see…only a few days though, so it’s not that bad.

Thanks for the answer. You don’t have an idea for how long I’ve waited for it. You can close my other topic regarding this matter then. I’ll waiting for the future.

More KI information is awesome! Looking forward to the ramp-up to Season 3.

Yooo Im so hyped rn. Finally some KI news. Cant wait too see what u guys do and I hope that revamp is kan.

I kind of hope they dont revamp aganos in that or any way really. Managing chunks would even be much more of a pain

I Hope they Will leave Thunder as the grappler he now is, and not make him like he was in the original game.

And please : FIX THE RIVALED ACHIEVEMENT !!!

Next week?

YOU MUST REVEAL KIM WU’S CONCEPT ART OR SHADOW JAGO’S TRAILER ON MY BIRTHDAY OCT 7!

##I LOVE YOU ADAM AND RUKIZZEL!##

I’m not necessarily supportive or opposed to a big change like that, but I could see a rework coming for “ease of use” purposes.

AWWWWW YEAAAAA :smile: man I’ve been waiting for more fleshed out story and background!! I’m so excited!! :smiley: This is gonna be awesome.

I’m also really excited to hear the character changes of course. I’m not expecting anything as drastic as 1 -> 2 but I guess that two characters are being reworked already suggests otherwise lol, I’m looking forward to it!

More streams!? Perfect. Hopefully I don’t have class when they air. I’ll be so sad :confused:

More Gameplay changes? lookin forward to seeing that. and uh-oh nerfs? PLEASE don’t touch Fulgore, he’s already been tweaked as it is. Oi those nerfs.

As for buffs…makes me wonder.

I hope not :U at least not on Riptor.

So KI is going to be at BGS too? Nice :smile:

Yeah i can see what ur saying. I like the difficulty that comes with using aganos

The KV meter is fine as is, I’m afraid if they mess with that it might just go way too out of control. I hope the 2 characters they are reworking are Shago (which we already know) and Omen. Aside from that they simply need to clean up TJ and Maya’s stiff animations.

Nah, complete rework on Riptor so that she’s not an abomination of what the original was.

I can’t really see anyone else that needs a rework, tbh.

Finally a reason to start visiting the forums again.

Though I’m concerned about how these new backstories are going to conflict with the season one story mode.
