Here are the highlights from today’s Killer Instinct stream…

  • Showed Classic Spinal’s colors and accessories (released today).
  • Selecting Ultras will likely be in Season Two.
  • It’s a lot more difficult creating a completely new character as opposed to revamping an existing character.
  • Confirms that ARIA is a she.
  • Would like to show in the KI meld some of the original ideas they had for the game.
  • Shadow Jago will not be receiving his unique moveset until later this year.
  • ARIA name does mean something, wouldn’t say what.
  • Iron Galaxy has already started development on Season Two.
  • We can expect around another eight characters for Season Two.
  • Killer Instinct will be both E3 and EVO.
  • No Mercy’s and Ultimates will not be previewed before E3.
  • We’ll hear more about a female announcer during Season Two.
  • Stages are expensive to build.
  • Would be cool if characters received white colors.
  • Mike will still be the voice of various things in Season Two.
  • Are thinking of new ways to do the story in Season Two.
  • No plans to build your own characters in KI.
  • KI is one of the main reasons the d-pad was improved upon for the Xbox One.
  • Considering brand new fighting archetypes for Season Two.
  • The AI in Arcade Mode is more difficult because the AI “learns”.
  • They are considering redesigning the games UI (menus, character select screen, etc.).
  • Would love to have KI gamerpics, but no guarantee it will happen.
