If Xrd Sign sucks, there really will be a drought of decent fighting games. Anything else on the horizon? None of these games are convincing me to invest in the next gen.

KI3 looks like poverty bingo. I used to feel bad calling Killer Instinct a poverty game, but now it is literally for people with no money.

Art style, font, pacing, jago's voice actor sounds surprisingly like jpn ryu, fireballs that even sound like he's saying "hadoken", literal shoryukens. I know they were in original KI but come the heck on.

It looks like it plays at a similar speed? Rather than hyper fast like, say, marvel or whatever.

4.
a. The rate of speed at which a person, animal, or group walks or runs.
b. The rate of speed at which an activity or movement proceeds.

I don't mean to be rude, but please go to an eye specialist, I have a dreadful feeling you may be developing glaucoma.

The animation is like ten times faster, the getups are faster, the hitstop is faster. Like literally everything is faster. The pace is faster because everything is faster, more things are happening mid combo too, which increases pace!

More (active) decisions per minute: higher pace.

The fast speed of the characters' movement and the game in general is actually one of the only things I think KI might get right. In addition, the stages appear to be significantly shorter corner-to-corner than SF4, and the max distance characters can back away from each other is either similar or a little smaller.

The jumps are still janky in an SF4 kinda way, but making attack animations super-fast helps the game look faster. Xbone exclusive though so I doubt I'll ever even try it.

His original comment was about the speed, and even though I like the game and all, Injustice is loving slow paced most of the time, and it gets especially bad in certain matchups.

Injustice is a lot faster than SF4 though, at least IMO. The pace of matches can get slow since so many characters have potent zoning or can check your movement with stuff like Lantern's lift or Scorpion's teleport, but even slow-rear end characters like Bane can dash across the screen really quickly. Walkspeeds are slow, but Injustice isn't really a game about walking like Street Fighter is.

Nah, I think it looks like fun and would also like to try it. I usually like to try most every fighting game I can get my paws on. Like Brosnan said, it being an Xbone exclusive really limits the chances of ever getting a good chance to dick around with it.

It looks kind of fun to play for a while but fundamentally really bad, really shallow but with "fake depth" if that makes sense. Autopilot offense with systematically formulaic combos that include a dumb guessing game that pretty much prevents you from taking any damage if you guess right, with no actual punishment for guessing wrong.

So I'm guessing that during his games of KI he flails around trying to hit you, mostly missing and then when he does finally connect he does very little damage if any.

FilthieRich claimed on stream the other day that it's still heavily in development and that they want feedback about mechanics from players, so you could tell them this and then watch them promptly ignore it.

Yeah, apparently it's a pre-alpha build so I withdraw the crack about the bugs. Now I just hate it because it looks boring and dumb.

Of course, I think the original KI games were boring and dumb too, so maybe they're just staying true to the source material.

It's possible that I read something wrong, but I thought I read that the real release was gonna be a F2P (with only Jago being free) and only playable online. Id imagine they made an offline build to show off.

KI isn't F2P. There's a full version you can buy, and there's a free demo that allows you to buy additional pieces if you're not interested in the full package.
