I've sent you a PM

As much as I'm trying to be civil about this, I really don't understand how you haven't looked around for other information on the game before asking on this forum about very basic elements (like the fact that Shadow Meter is a gague that fills by blocking attacks, performing meter enders if your character has them, or sometimes even being comboed by an opponent).

Controls:
light punch=x
medium punch=y
heavy punch=rb
light kick=a
medium kick=b
heavy kick=rt
3p=lb
3k=lt
These last two for ultras

As for what you wree saying about being able to hear different announcements in the left or right ear, I genuinely have no idea where you got that from, as that is not a thing you can do.  You're probably getting confused with the HUD volume slider that allows for you to tell how much you can do before your combo blows out, which is played either on the left or right side of the screen depending on which player is doing the comboing.

Hope that helps and I hope you get your head round the game soon.

I would suggest not using the link given above, instead going to ki.infil.net.  That address will give far more information as the link given above is incomplete and will most likely never be completed.

From my own experience, I'd say this is what you might term as hard and fast truth of the game industry number 1: with accessibility, don't expect things to be like the ideal standard (i.e. KI to be like Skullgirls in this case).

Reason behind this?  It'll help your levels of disappointment keep to a relative minimum.  If I expected every fighting game I played to be as playable as Skullgirls, I'd be very disappointed right now.

Also, devs know about the mode not being playable.  Whether anything will change, we'll see.

I hope you enjoy the game though, regardless.  The main point of the game is the fighting, not SL (though SL is a sumpliment).

Hi.
Ok, luckyly I got my way around the game and keeping up with the happenings on the screen, at leased on the lower difficulty settings, currently not feeling ready for competitive tournaments though.
Greetings Moritz.

@33:
Of course I am enjoyig it but for me actually every game should contain something like SG where I can just get my gamepad and do EVERYTHING on my own including knowig the menus, options, complete the tutorials or see the online lobbies, player nicks, number of wins and so on.
For me it's standard or well, it should be and my hope is it will be like that in the future.
Sadly, in KI (which is really avesome) I need to research a lot, ask, ask and ask to get menus, to learn the characters I need to read FAQs or do it on my own spending tons of time on something I could have in the tutorial lessons.

I've just bought the Definitive Edition, and I have to say I'm doing decently... I'm going to have to learn the sounds and such, but that's no different from any other fighting game. Would you guys recommend using a headset for this game? I think it might help. I didn't really need one for MK or Injustice.

Hello. So, I've taken a momentary break from reading the guide to pause and ask some questions. I've compiled some in a text document and am pasting them below.

1. In the beginning of the special moves section, it spoke of a shoryuken motion when putting in special moves. What is the shoryuken motion?
2. In this game, do move inputs change based on the side of the screen you are on, as in Mortal Kombat?
3. When reading the character's page, I saw that some moves said, for example, down, downfront, front. Is this an actual button input or is this just the way the page is laid out?
4. As I understand it, specials don't work the same as in Mortal Kombat. There is the same directional button press, but then you either press HP, LP, MP, HK, MK, or LK for varying strengths? Or is that only when they're linkers?
5. This question I did indeed Google first and got very inconclusive answers: Is it at all possible to play this game without an Internet connection? From the message it first displays when the game is loading up the menus, I doubted it would be, but I have to ask out of curiosity.

Thank you.

Like I said I'm not fully done yet, and some of the way things are worded are confusing. I'm currently on the Enders, KV Meter and Ultras Chapter. I'm getting there. Also, in the guide, they use a lot of Street Fighter references and I am not familiar with that game to a large extent.

I've actually only done single fights lately. (And, as a side note, I love the fact that in the post-match menu, if you move back and forth the menu select sounds make the KI theme!) And by chapters, I mean the guide that's writen. Sightless, would you recommend the guide for a moves list or should I go somewhere else? As for the dojo, I'm planning on having a bunch of friends over tonight to play, and they'll probably help.

The reason I'm not terribly familiar with SF is due to the fact I started out with MK and a touch of Tekken 6. I do know about super moves, but the game just never appealed to me. I had SFIV on my 360 but I never could stay into it. SF it Tekken was another one I tried. But KI is the only other fighting game besides MK and Injustice to catch my interest, and I might just try DOA again.

I understand. I suppose I should look into more games like that, though... my games of fighting are not all that great, I'm somewhat ashamed to admit. I tend to repeat combos a lot and I rarely play above medium difficulty.
