Quick pre-textual answer - I will be revealing some results of the Community Poll in this Fridays Textual Stream.

For those clamouring to know when fightstick support is coming to Windows 10, that was settled at least a week ago if memory serves by Rukari saying that it will be available for the new windows anniversary update coming out August 2nd.
The only other questions I have are these, at the current time (a fair number of which hinge on accessibility):
First, as others have asked, will there be a community fund and if so, how will it work? (if those latter details can be revealed at the current time that is)
Secondly, I hope this isnāt the case for accessibility reasons, but is Shadow Lords the only way to unlock the Astral Plane and anything else to come out of that mode after you complete it? Leading from that, any hints to what else (if anything) will be available as part of beating Shadow Lords (other than the achievements, of course)?
Also, any chance of an extras menu where you could fight Boss Shago instantaneously if youāve already done it, as well as Fulgore, Aria and Gargos on a suitable level to be boss characters?
Further working with what otherās have said, Iād like to see an arcade mode similar to the classic games (fight 8 or so opponents, then a sub boss [a random character of suitable strength] and then a boss character [possibly related to that characterās season]. HOw likely is this to happen and if you can tell us when we would see it (if you know), thatād be useful info too.
Any chance of a new announcer(or hopefully multiple announcers) (i.e. Halo, femail hype announcer, Gargos/Kan-Ra, etc)? Iād personally prefer this over new costumes or colours any day, again for accessibility reasons. Not to say that the ultimate source colours arenāt interesting collectors items and that having colour 9 or not isnāt a good indication of obtaining level 50 with a character, but I hope you understand where Iām coming from.
Are any of the move lists on this site that have been produced by IG staff going to be updated in light of accessibility issues faced by totally blind players trying to read them? When I last looked the information about the moves was present, but none of the inputs for the moves were accessible at all, which is a real shame.
Finally, any chance of getting KI2 music into the training mode, as well as KI3 music dynamically into the practice options? Would be good to just be able to play around with the dynamic music engine and enjoy the work thatās been put into the tracks.
Looking forward to seeing survey numbers etc, keep up the good work.

Itās first time iām here (officially), but has a while that iām a huge fan of KI and pre ordered xone after that amazing E3 on 2013 that MS show to us Killer Instinct trailer (which made me almost fall off the chair and play, replay the trailer hundreds of times) and, after that, i searched here some talking and informations on the fabulous KI Community.
Well, i read every reply before to write this, but i didnāt found any ask about new entrances or character intros. I think the KI atmosphere is amazing because his BGM, OST of Mick and Atlas doing so fluid and dynamic, but i guess that is more immersive if we get more intro animations for each character. The KI community play this game untill do thousands hours. Itās insane how we are passionate w KI (i see that on xbox app and dashboard) so, please, do more intros w a new impact to avoid or do less skips. Some times, is tiring.
Second: KI needs a tag team. Really! And needs that thing to play online with friends. i can imagine, for example, Thunder and Eagle do some phrases together before and after a fight, playing with a friend. Will be amazing.
Third: Talking around DIALOGUE, KI need that on your story. I feel frustrated when i see just an image with a narrative phrase and a musicā¦ No! We know that this is game is old, but please, do some adaptive narrative A LOT MORE deeper, please. Or just do the novel real, but with voices and dialogue. Cāmon! Weāre 6 million people, even more today. You can do that! KI is very immersive, so just explore that more deeper, even if SL will try that in some way, i guess.
Fourth: Iāll increase the idea of some people sayed here about classic stages come true on this graphical engine. For a long time, this is a dream. On YT has designers than did Jago classic stage w Unreal 3 or something like that. So, just do what the community expect, please. Weāll love it!
Cheers from Brazil to IG, MS and Ultra Combo forum.

Really?! I didnāt see that. Thank you! Thatās awesome news.
Rukari made a recent post, here:
Saying that they will need to update KI itself, to make use of the Win10 update.
Joanna Dark was on the Survey.
Is there any chance of her being a bonus character this season like Shadow jago was in S2 instead of having to wait for a potential S4 or whatever is being planned?

Are there any REAL possibilities for a 4th season?
Are there any plans to change the properties of the certain characters moves, for example changing hit box locations for certain moves or outright changing command attacks to deal with certain situations better or worse? If so what are some characters that are for sure getting changes and which are being considered? Thanks for supporting KI as much as you have!
Hi!
1: Is story mode gonna happen in season 3 or shadow Lords is The story mode?
2: Any chance of a Dark Souls boss as a guest character? Knight Artorias would be amazing.
Thanks for The amazing game
Shadow Lords is the story mode.

Any chance we can get UI themes? Such as a season 1, 2 and 3 theme. Including but not limited to Classic KI purple lightning theme and Classic KI 2 fire theme. Maybe character themes as well?

As a Sonic Adventure 2 Battle fan, I second this idea.

Ooooh! I like this idea. Especially the character themed ones.
We could do it Faction style, like MKX. Disavowed hideout, Ultratech headquarters, astral planeā¦
I can field this one, as it stands right now in-game, no.
Iāve fired up Gargosā stage several times in survival and have tried from every which way on the screen and it does not appear that he has a stage ultra. Maybe that will change but right now Astral plane does not have one yet.
Aww yea!

When it came to Eyedolās design, was the moveset decided first, or was his appearance?
-
Will Eyedol play any special role in Shadow Lords, or is that a secret?
-
Would you guys plan on adding new announcers as well? (Not specifically linked to a character like the ARIA one)
-
any particularly crazy playstyle ideas that didnāt make the cut this time around?
-
I know yāall worked closely with the Halo devs to make Arbiter, was there any kind of collaboration with the Gears devs to create RAAM?
-
related, how long ago was it decided youād have these three guest characters this season? Were there many complications getting permission for any of them?
-
I know Rash and Arbiter have been talked about since season 1, but how was RAAM brought up?
-
How did yaāll decide on which order the characters would be released?
-
If you guys do more giveaways, would you consider giving away elite controllers with the KI component set? For us pad players out here
-
Any idea when weāll get to see the Shadow Lords multiplayer mode in action?
-
I know itās being polished still but, was there any major changes to Shadow Lords from its conception to its (almost) final implementation? How long ago was it decided on?
Alrighty, thatās all I can think up. Thanks for all your efforts and for taking the time to do another of these!! Canāt wait to play Shadow Lords! Fight On!
This is also my question.
