I dont like that jago is a No risk, High reward char, dude is plus on everything, op overhead, op double roundhouse, infinite blockstrings in instinct mode, builds meter like he is on steroids, super big fireballs, did I forget the almighty yolo windkick ? I still love ki tho but they need to nerf jago

You can Shadow Counters against them… It’s very easy. 
This is part of why I try to record literally every match I do with Sabrewulf (that and I’m entirely too honest), and also why I think all data for a shadow should be saved automatically, rather than just choice matches.
If a Shadow is going to emulate its human creator, it should be able to imitate them in all of their forms. Whether I get a perfect or get nearly perfected, whether I’m doing one chance manuals, sick juggles, or even just B&B combos (or sweep spamming ;P), I want my Shadow to be as much like me as possible, and have as much info to work with as I can give it.
That’s Semi-Related to the topic, I guess. Right?
I’ve already talked more in @xCrimsonLegendx 's thread.

I love Shadow Labs mode, love the bounty system, but I’m sad that once I select a bounty to fight (either intentionally or accidentally), that replay is gone forever.

Amen to that. The fireballs are also the easiest executed and most spammed move of any character. Not that I want the controls to be built and complex no. I guess my beef is with the style of jago fighters. Every time I fight a jago, they will hang out on the otherwise of the screen and hide behind a crap ton of fireballs and never growly engage the other fighter. I’ve always seen that as a display of a lack of skill. Just like arguing with a camper in halo.
I like shadow lab too. It feels like there’s more to do now. Although, and I know this is more of a problem for MS then for IG, but unless you have a microphone (and I have a 3 year old so my corded headset isn’t very smart, and don’t have room for a Kinect) using the DVR is very akward.

I’ve noticed that shadow labs never records my quickrises. It’s stuck at 0% for both my shadows and I definitely quickrise.

People playing ranked on f******** wireless connections. Get a real connection, you bums
That problem has always been there. I’ve complained about it a number of times. I even had to ask how to do a quick rise, I was told to hit any attack button as soon as my back his the deck on soft knock down, but that didn’t seem to work. Even if you do execute a quick rise (which the game doesn’t tell you if you did it right) I don’t think shadow lands is recording that data.
getting demolished by my own shadow.
Aside from that, I absolutely love that we can challenge our own shadows and see a potential match, also you can learn what to improve against certain characters.
Through testing, I gained knowledge how to fare better against spammers like shago slides and dp Jago’s, punish orchid whiffs & work a corner like never before.
I like the fact TJ Combo has both a Dive and Kick costume.

Ambient sounds hearable when you crank up ambient volume to maximum and lower every other volume down. Like thunders on Devil`s Landing, men screaming on Sadira stage, etc.

Shadow counter works against his double roundhouse.

Little likes:
-Fulgore’s spinning blade walk up on the select screen
-Wulf’s background behind his stage when you lookout the window on the left side
-The way the KI logo folds in to the screen at the very beginning
-The fact that KI gold is now something you can get in Daily Loot
-Riptor’s story being an owner’s manual
-Having multiple announcer voices, including ARIA’s, which I think is underrated
-Discovering my love for a character 3 years after they came out because this roster is so deep, so varied and so fun (Sadira)
-The foreboding music in Shadow Lords
-Fighting shadows in Shadow Lords
-All the designs scrolled on Eyedol’s body
-Thecsheer variety of items in Shadow Lords as well as their creative names and designs
-The entire main area in Shadow Lords. It’s colorful, informative and intuitive
-The spinning purple vortex on each place in SL
-Use of hero art in survival mode
-Kan Ra’s creepy smile and voice
-The women in the game feeling less like T&A window decorations / floatation devices than most other fighters
Little dislikes:
-The balls on Jago’s sash moving around like they have someplace to be while he’s sitting on the ground during his intro
-Combo fonts not matching victory fonts
-Staring at the Checking DLC or Searching For Opponent screens and not seeing something more visually appealing
-Not being able to choose your color in Shadow Lab despite having it in the customize menu
-Triangles and hexagons everywhere on the menus, load up screen, checking DLC screen etc
-KanRa going from being this devious threat that’s been reawakened in season 2 to being this sort of incompetent good guy in season 3
-Sabrewulf’s instinct being my least favorite in the game in spite of him being my favorite character
-Connecting to Ultratech Servers seemingly failing multiple times
-Use of 3D character models on prematch “Fight On” screen. Actually this whole screen could stand to be redone
-TJ Combo’s autobarrage feeling so intrusive on his regular combos to the point that I don’t even want to use him
-Shadow and mimic skins only being recolors with an effect on them and not fully unique skins, though they are nice for what they are
Well, I could keep going, but I’ll leave it at that. Maybe I’ll come back and put a few more in later if I think of any.

I just think that the victory fonts look far better and that the overall style could benefit from some cohesion. The current combo fonts are holdovers from the season one menus. Kinda just wish they’d all match up with the cooler looking font, but that’s just my opinion.
I see what you mean. I only like them because those combo fonts have been around since season 1. And I also really like the victory fonts, they remind me of the ones from the original KI.
