I'm so ready for this fukking game to launch..
The old Killer Instinct was a decent Mortal Kombat ripoff, nothing more. Definitely not up there with the best fighting games of that gen. People got lured in by the gimmicky graphics.
it was NOTHING like MK- not the style, not the graphics,not the combos only shyt those two had in common was they were fighters and both had a ninja,an ice guy and a chick
Explain to me how this
is a rip off of this

It was explicitly working off of MK. The developers had a sarcastic sense of humor (you can see it in all their other games, too,) and wanted to throw a bunch of clichés and outlandish/ridiculous ideas together for the game, and MK was the primary source for that, since it was the most nonsensical big fighter of its time (almost all fighters are, but MK was the most ridiculous then, with some of the dumbest and lease coherent design and character ideas.) Everything from the theme music, the absurd characters and designs, to the combo system (which is a more advanced version of MK's, notice that MK and KI had a back-and-forth in that respect) reference MK.
Like I said, it's a decent game. There were many far worse MK knockoffs. But people gassing it up and treating it like a classic either don't remember or weren't around.

i was around for the arcades..and they are NOT alike
the controls are not the same, mk was stiffer and not as fluid as Killer instinct..
MK didnt become great til MK 2 and 3
the characters are not a rip off of MK, but fall into the fighting game genre with the stereo types
you are wrong
mk rip off were

GTFOH. According to your definitions, every single fighting game is a MK knockoff. Outlandish characters? Cliches? Ridiculous characters? These are staples in all fighting games.
KI did not play like MK at all. KI had a strong focus on Combo moves and had double life bars instead of rounds. They did have the MK inspired finishing moves but aside from that there wasn't much MKish about KI. Two very different fighting games with very different gameplay styles

Maybe if Sony brings that cash, you negros could enjoy this premium gaming. But you instead choose to ride with the cheap asian system..

Sailor Moon? What the fukk world you live in?

You curious in a spiderman type of way bruh
You love that Killer Instinct style, you want to play this new version that has HIT written all over it
Real talk, I didn't think they would pull it off. But to have a real Fighting game we can be proud of? And its exclusive? And its done by Microsoft
Don't worry, you guys got Knack and a new Jak to keep you busy
If i wanted to play it that bad id but the 1 but its not going to be a classic so theres no need.
