PostRe: Killer Instinct Season 2 - Kan-Ra trailer / Riptor teaser
by Monkey Man » Sun Mar 08, 2015 9:34 pm

Killer Instinct developer Iron Galaxy revealed a new character for its Xbox One exclusive character, with an eerie looking Japanese fighter joining the fray before the full release of Season Two.

Called Hisako, the new fighter's a 19-year-old Japanese woman who has a reliance on counterattacks. She also leans heavily on Japanese horror motifs, with cold white eyes that glare through lank dark hair.

Hisako is being introduced in April, alongside a new feature called Shadows. Sounding similar in practice to Forza's Drivatars, the mode reads the way you fight and uploads a virtual version of yourself for other players to battle.

While both Hisako and the Shadows mode arrive in April, Season Two of Killer Instinct isn't due until this June. You can see Hisako in action against Jago courtesy of some off-screen footage from today's PAX East.

Wowsers, KI, SFV, and Tekken 7(I hope that is still the case) all coming to PC. Not a bad time for the FGC on PC

Quick question everyone, i bout the digital edition of this last month in the XBone sale (the complete bundle for £27.50) i've now been given the retail disc version so I was thinking of deleting the digital game off my hard drive and just using the disc version.

My question is, will I be able to download all the extra content to use through the retail disc version? Like all the costumes, season 2 content etc...

I think that installing the game from a disc installs everything so there's no reason to use the disc version if you already have it installed. Discs and download games are interchangeable so the DLC will work on both, assuming that there are no regional restrictions.

Yeah, there's literally no advantage to using the disc version if you have a digital copy, since you need to install the entire game anyway. Will use exactly the same amount of space on your HDD.

Season 3 will start in March 2016 on Xbox and Windows 10

Rash is free if you own Season 2 or Rare Replay

Hey Dudes & Dudettes! We are stoked to announce that Rash from Battletoads will be a fighter in Killer Instinct Season 3, which we’re sure you’ve heard by now is set to release in March 2016.

You have all been instrumental in the success of Killer Instinct, and as a special thank you we wanted give you an early chance to try Rash and help us test his signature moves like Big Boot, Speederbike and Wrecking Ball ahead of Season 3’s March 2016 release.

You can play Rash starting TODAY, August 4, 2015, and you can continue to do so until the test period ends on September 8, 2015 at 12am PDT. That’s over a month of Battletoad-time!

Of course, the goal of this test is to deliver the best possible Killer Instinct experience ever, and your input is absolutely vital. Have feedback about Rash? Tell us your thoughts in the forums, or feel free to tweet us your questions (we’re @KillerInstinct, but you already knew that).

Give a look over this brief FAQ to get the low down on Rash before you get started. It should answer some of your most burning questions.

How can I get access to Rash?
Rash is available to all Killer Instinct and Rare Replay owners. If you’ve purchased any piece of Killer Instinct content, including Season bundles, characters, accessories, colours, or even KI Gold you have instant access to Rash. Rare Replay players – just launch the “Battletoads” game in Rare Replay to unlock the first achievement “Do You Have Battletoads?” Rash should now be available in the character select screen of Killer Instinct.

How long is the Beta Test available?
Rash will be available for download from August 4, 2015 (9:30PDT) to September 8, 2015 (12am PDT).

Is this Rash’s final look?
No way dude! You’re getting an early look at Rash, so his animations, moveset and appearance are not final.

What are Rash’s moveset and controls?
Battlemaniac Beat ‘Em Up Combos
Rash can automatically perform combos by mashing Light Punch or Light Kick. He even automatically recaptures the opponent if they are airborne! How cool is that?!

Rash Bash – Back + HP.
Rash bashes opponent with an overhead attack, leaving them with a severe headache!

RUN! – > > (Hold)
Rash is always ready for a fight and runs towards his enemies.

Wicked Tongue – All 3 Punch Buttons or LB on the Xbox One controller
Rash can zipline in any direction when his tongue makes contact with a wall or opponent. Wicked Tongue can also be used to eat most projectiles and gain Shadow Meter. Om nom nom nom!

Big Bad Boot – QCF + Any Kick
Rash kicks the opponent in the face with a spiked big boot. Respect the Boot!

Wrecking Ball – QCB + Any Kick
Rash morphs into a wrecking ball and swings across the stage. Causes a wall splat against grounded opponents, and a hard knockdown when the opponent is airborne. Has 1 point of armor because he’s one tough dude!

Battering Ram – QCF + Any Punch
Rash sprouts ram horns and charges towards his opponent.

Turbo Tunnel (Activate Instinct Mode with HP + HK)
Summons a Speeder Bike from out of nowhere! Damages the opponent on impact. Wreck your Speederbike? No problem! Rash can summon another one by pressing HP+HK again while in Instinct.

How can I provide feedback on my experience playing as Rash?
We want to hear from you! Reach out to us on Twitter or leave your comments in the Ultra-Combo forums. We read everything!

There you have it. You’ve got everything you need to get started. So what are you waiting for. Fire up Killer Instinct, start playing Rash, and let us know what you think.

Fight on!

This game. :wub:

Decided to knuckle down and really learn one character (Aria) and I've been rewarded with some serious progress in the rankings. Up to around an 80% win rate now with Aria, although that may be down to the influx of new players.

Speaking if which, anyone started this recently? Enjoying it?

So there's something a bit special at the end of the Kim Wu trailer.

Apparently the full trailer is out on Wednesday, not sure if there will be anything extra other than a teaser for the next fighter

Ah, I did wonder why there was no teaser at the end. I'm expecting Tusk as the next character.
