It never left

Mick Gordon btw

Or tag team with Sony so we can play some KI on playstation if its not too much to ask...smh

It's on Steam, too. The Steam version is a buy-once and everything is unlocked sort of deal. A complete game.

Now it's free to play. You just doesn't have all the characters. It's nice to get to know before buying.

The learning curve is actually pretty low imo. Because you're not thinking much about combos due to the build-a-combo system, you go straight to what matters: neutral, mix-ups, and mind games. Pick it up and play. Get used to your options, figure out your opponents' habits, and most importantly, have fun!

KI 2013 is a game with a very low skill floor for new players, but possibly one of the highest skill ceilings in all of fighting games at the top end, lol. High end KI is legitimately mentally stressful, because you're always reacting to something - even when you're in the middle of getting hit with a combo you're analyzing each part of it and deciding whether to try and break it, or whether you've been tricked by your opponent to try and break it and they're going to COUNTER-break you. It's madness.

The best rollback out there, and that since 2013 ish

With the new anniversary edition? No idea...

@@Frankentank yes I was referring to the ae. I'm hoping it goes on sale the 21st

It also has a robot with three different bodies you switch between at will, all with their own movesets and health bars. And an ogre with split personalities, where each personality has it's own moveset and you change between them at random - or you can punch yourself in the head to try and force the switch. And a gargoyle man who can summon minions from a portal that will walk back and forth and attack you. KI is dope.

And why is that? (This ought to be good...)

@@Frankentank i will reply with full rant 🤦🏽‍♂️😅

@@nhlba3301 1. Lawd you type like a kid. Even if english isn't your first language, syntax is mostly intuitive, so communicate coherently (and no emoji spamming doesn't make up for the fact you're mostly unintelligible). 2. Most of what you're saying as critiques of the game seem to be just preference and fluff nonsense. Like wow, "TJ looks like an actual human being rather than an action figure, gross". Like, does Cinder having a mouth really detract anything? Cinder in KI og was literally just low poly dude built like an action figure on fire. Don't even get me started on the KI2 characters cus that game has some of the weakest character designs in a game even for the 90's with the rubbish same face thing the ladies there's got going on and the lame Conan the Barbarian stuff going on with Tusk. KI og and 2 for their time had some legendary stuff with its 90-cgi quality character models, but lets be real, the character design in them was mid. Yeah, some stuff in the latest game isn't on par with even some games that it came out with but its easily better looking than anything in the old games and has the characters actually have personalities beyond looking like cool action figures. I do agree the ultimates can be better but with how shafted the game's development cycle got and how much time has passed since they last had a proper update for the game, I think we'd be better off just begging for MS to actually allow a sequel to develop and thrive. 3. Referring to the gameplay critiques, I just simply disagree with a lot of your points, but its just preference at the end of the day cus the games are different. I will say that I personally like having to actually understand how and when to combo break than just timing a counter-intuitive input in a short timing window in the middle of a combo. Character gameplay is easily the best in the latest game. OG KI is only fun as a single player game cus the simple act of playing neutral in the game feels sluggish and normals can do more damage than some combos and the gameplay is just an opponent fishing to start a combo. KI2 is literally just KI1 with even more busted mechanics. Like no thanks I'd rather have character variability along with the mind games combo breakers and counter breakers and the instinct gauge and the revamped shadow meter allows you to achieve. KI1 and 2 also feel like dogsh*T to play if you play on anything that isnt an arcade stick because for some reason they want to you to perform awkward half-circle motions without the forward and back motions and charge moves in the middle of a combo in a game that has virtually no hitstop. If thats not counterintuitive gameplay then lol go eat your cake I guess.
