Update 2.12 for Killer Instinct Xbox One will be coming in the future and will be making some changes to the in-game combat HUD. The changes are designed to make it easier for players to identify the strengths of Combo Breakers, signal when a reversal has taken place, and even some changes to the Shadow Meter. Iron Galaxy’s Adam “Keits’ Heart explains…

Reversal Display- If you perform a special move on the first frame possible out of blockstun or when rising from a knockdown, the all-new Reversal message appears! If you aren’t quite sure if you are getting that perfect timing, use this feature as your guide. Remember, performing your special move with “Reversal” timing doesn’t change anything about the move’s startup or invulnerability. This message is only tells you if your timing was right.

Lockout Timer- Locking out your opponent is the key to big damage in KI. However, the duration of the lockout, or even the duration of different kinds of lockouts, was information you usually learned through practice and memorization. The new Lockout display makes this a lot easier for everyone by accurately visualizing the Lockout Timer!

Lockout Strength- Getting locked out, on the other hand, is tough times. Not only are you about to take big damage, but you might not even be sure what locked you out. When a character is new, or when you are learning the game, you find yourself asking your opponent out loud when getting locked out, “What strength was that?” You want to know what locked you out so you can try to learn the animations and break it correctly next time. These handy, new lockout displays tell you what strength you were locked out by, or if you had a timing error, or even if you were counter broken.

  1. Im not being a snob….but not only will this make the game less competitive but this will also take away from the strategy and personality of combos because its not going to give us a chance to figure out particular combo breaking on our own…which ultimately will take the thrill away to this game..Anyone Agrees??
    PLEASE THINK ABOUT THIS ONE IRON GALAXY…
