YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS Finally!
Because the XBO is a closed platform.
There's literally no way Killer Instinct on PC was not going to support 360 sticks.
Own on what though? Steam? Or is windows x having their own xbox live thing for pc again.?
My point was there is no reason to 'spring' for any of it as a new player. You can try it out for free
oops I meant console exclusive not console only... lol.
Well of course.

The character design, maybe.
But seriously, I was referring to the gameplay & UI improvements, as well as the fleshing out of the SP content. Made the game feel MUCH better for me and I've enjoyed it a lot more since. It feels like more of a complete package and PC players should feel good about getting that version from day 1.
Obviously. Just saying why they pointed it out in that tweet -- it's different from the xbone version which does not support all sticks
It'll be through windows 10 store since it's cross buy and cross play.

Pretty much this. I only wanted an Xbone for KI.

Not really. Phil Spencer's/Xbox's 10 minutes was the highlight
Lolllll
The last major that KI was played at had one pool for the tourney.
But ok mate.

I hope that you can link your xbox profile on the pc version with all the characters. I don't want to have to pay for everything again because that would be a pain. I just want to be able to use my older sticks since I never wanted to invest in one for my Xbone.

Not really interested in this, but I'm always glad to see PC gaming promoted.
You can
OP is really doing this thread a disservice. Still no mention of cross-buy or cross-play which are both confirmed
Cross-buy and cross-play were confirmed at the same time too.

How scrub friendly is KI? I can execute decent combos in MKX but some are pretty technical and hard to pull off like run cancelling into moves and the timing for juggling (especially online).

Nice. Increase that player base. Takes me ages to find matches right now.
I assume they would, if you have drivers for them. I doubt they'd restrict the game to xbox devices... wouldn't make too much sense.
It's pretty friendly as long as you go through the dojo and you get a grasp of how to play
EVERYONE NEW TO KI THAT HAS A FG BACKGROUND, PUT THIS GUIDE IN YOUR BOOKMARKS

Is cross *buy* confirmed? Because cross-play doesn't mean anything for Steam. You can have whatever you want in a Steam game. Games for Windows Live, for example.
Yes, cross-buy is confirmed

Wait cross buy as well?
Holy fuck awesome.
Holy fuck awesome.
Cross-buy is confirmed.
GFWL no longer exists and Xbox on Windows 10 is nothing like GFWL.
Like an Xbox One your Microsoft account(which is your Windows profile that you log into your PC with) will hold all your digital purchases. Xbox on Windows 10 is built-in to the OS and unlike GFWL it is not a separate application with its own DRM.

Shit, nice. Bought the $20 pack on Xbone.
Do you have to do that though? In Windows 8.1 you can still have offline users not tied to a Microsoft account.
Also I feel like none of that stuff you mentioned would prevent the game from being on Steam as a Windows-only game. Valve doesn't give a fuck.
And now the Xbox One I paid $500 for at launch truly is a very expensive doorstop.
Anyone want an Xbox One for cheap?
As opposed to a $520 Killer Instinct machine?

I really wish I didn't waste my free MS credit on garbage when I heard it would expire this month.

What's the most economic video card option that will be able to support DirectX 12 and be on par with XBOne performance?

750Ti does (is even better than the x1 GPU). Even has the same dx feature level as the xb1 GPU.
Street Fighter is much bigger than Killer Instinct is.

Which is really a shame, since (IMO, obviously) KI is much better.
