Can someone tell me, does this game really only have 6 fighters or is that just the starting package and then you unlock/buy them. Legitimate question. Thanks.

EDIT
Thanks guys

Yeah a good score ! it's a bit bare bones at the minute for content but still a lot of fun to be had with VS friends until the many free content updates

Let the games begin. Very nice launch title.

Yeah I definitely have to add this with Ryse, Dead Rising 3, and NBA 2k14

I think the important thing here is that they seem to have hit the hackpot on the actual gameplay (the fighting). The game is off to a good start and can only get better from here with added characters and features in the future.

Can't wait for Fulgore :-)

I cant say I wasnt a bit worried for thyis game.

But it looks like double helix nailed it

Super Combooooo... here I come :)

Kudos to Double Helix, they finally found a genre they're good at.

Its ki, dr3 and ryse for me.

It looks like Double Helix actually did a great job with this one. It's tricky though. Fighting games, like multiplayer-focused FPS like Call of Duty and Battlefield 4 are judged as a whole product even though the lasting audience only cares about one thing: multiplayer. I haven't heard much about KI's netcode or multiplayer options, which is important. Still, I think it's pretty telling that the best thing about the game is it's technical, complex and balanced fighting system and really good tutorial/breakdowns. I don't think the average gamer will like it, but then it's FREE with $20 to get the basic package. The hardcore fighting game fans may actually love this game.

All in all I think this might actually turn out to be Microsoft's second best decision with the Xbox One after buying Titanfall exclusivity. Well done Double Helix (based of reviews at least).

This game is trying to change the market and not in a good way. They're leaning towards games as a service and not a product. If this does well it will pave the way for more F2P from MS. This looks game looks awesome. I just don't like the way MS is trying to sell it and fear that if this model is successful this is what we'll have to look forward to.

Please people, vote with your wallets.

When was KI ever underrated?

KI 1 is top 5 for me in the fighting genre. May have a lot to do with nostalgia but I loved it. It was most visually impressive game my young eyes had seen up to that time.

Chief Thunder was my favorite to play with. Young me just thought he looked cool and I liked the mowhawk launch. That said, I was best with Orchid in PvP. She could start a combo high or if a player was blocking high she could start a combo low in spite of the block. Always kept the player guessing. Not the mention her combos could last for days if not broken at the right times.

Primal rage was our favourite snes fighter.
