I love how they are so creative with these interpretations of classic characters. Classic looks really great but the new costume and character concept is amazing!
You know what would be awesome? If Eyedol could be controlled by two players like Cho'Gall from Heroes of the Storm. The catch would be that one player can control Eyedol at a time as long as their respective head is active, but also Eyedol's Instinct Mode will let both players control him simultaneously.
The split head is a nice idea, but I'm liking the original two headed Eyedol more. The vast majority of characters in the new KI look better with their retro costumes on. Which just shows how epic the design of the original games was.
it fits the new story, we have to remember in the remake KI, Eyedol never fought Jago or Orchid...he was defeated by Gargos in the demon world (because they both wanted to rule it). when that happened Eyedol's head was split in two.
How come it takes so damn long to get a crowd of adults to "shut the F#ck up" ? After the presenter says he would like to start off by thanking the people that made this possible, there really shouldn't even be a need to tell people to be quite; but then to have to ask, and ask, and demand, and threaten to stop the event if people don't quite down, that's just a crowd of "kids".
The presenter ought learn to be a presenter - what practical reason does everyone need to give you their undivided and silent attention? Just so you can have it to announce...nothing? He had nothing of real and useful importance - there was no announcement of fire code, underage people, or something was stolen like he was making it out to seem. He has the mic - he can speak - people can choose to listen if they want. "PLEASE EVERYONE STOP ENJOYING YOURSELVES AND LISTEN TO EVERYTHING I SAY BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH ATTENTION YET!" It's like waking someone up to tell them to go to sleep.
I guess the random "switch-out" between the head halves can prove to be quite an annoyance if you don't have a plan for when it happens. And you got what? Half a second to think of one? xD
Yeah, both sides seem really powerful on their own, but it's balanced by the fact that sometimes you can't do whatever you were planning to and suddenly have to think on your feet. Like, to master him you always need to keep "what do I do if I switch?" in mind, on top of everything else the game already has you thinking about.
+[TGR] Clockwork its a monster fighting game. Riptor has the same stance as a xenomorph would have. They work well in mkx because of the gore, so they can work in a fighting game. The MKX xenomorph still doesn't look quite right to me though. I feel like IG can make his stance right. It will never happen. See what Im getting at? They are monsters. This game is filled with aliens, demons, and mutants.
told you, that is what I thought...the reason his head is like that is because....Gargos fought him and Eyedol lost. we have to remember this is the KI remake so the old story doesn't exist where Jago and Orchid fought Eyedol. the characters were all brought back but their backstories were altered...some more than others. for example Tusk used to be married to Maya in the original but in this he is a barbarian from the north not an Amazonian like her
+voltz15 maybe you should note what's been added and updated. hes a much better, more flushed out character than the lame 94 interpretation. even the old devs hated eyedol.
I love what they did with him, both in terms of fighting styles and visually. He looks great. Retro costume's dope too. I wonder if this concludes KI support. Will there be a season 4 eventually? They kept this game alive for years now, and that's at least in part due to the fact that the game has been a work in progress, but now that all original characters are in the game, and season 3 has basically come to an end, I wonder if that's it for this game. Obviously, the team can't keep working on this one game ad infinitum, but I kinda hope that they continue with it, at least for another year. A 4th season would be amazing, but somehow I doubt that's gonna happen. They've been struggling, financially, I think. Not adding more stages for example was a financial issue. Besides, I doubt people will be buying the Xbox One all that much, as PS4 has way too many awesome exclusives. So I doubt KI will be getting any significant DLC beyond this year's additions, which does kinda suck, cause it's such a great game. If they'd add some minor changes, I wouldn't mind more costumes. Some characters have horrible retro costumes. Jago, Sadira, Fulgore, these suck balls. Sabrewulf and Orchid could be better too, etc. The new mode that they're working on sounds cool, although it could turn out to be just a waste of time and effort.. shadow lab *cough! They should've made classic arcade towers, should've been the primary mode anyway. Like, when releasing a new character: include that character's arcade mode. If it's too hard for them somehow to do the animations for pro- and epilogues, just fuckin have some artist draw that shit, how hard can it be? Anyway, Eyedol is in the game, which is all I really wanted out of S3 to be honest, so that's kewl
Details are important, and this is a good character, but I would prefer to avoid the mirror screen on each side, maybe would be great that in right side, red face were in front, he can change his skull garrote of hand to be more symetric but, faces and left arm illumination should stay in its side like Jago's tattooes
he sounds like a mixture of zoning and rushdown to me....but the fact that you can't control it sounds a lot like Mira...it could just be me but Mira is similar in that you can't stop her dying when using certain attacks and it is hard to use the ONLY attack that leeches back life (where she grabs u and swoops into the air and bites.)
Because they had to find a way to make a boring gargoyle boss character seem intimidating in Killer Instinct 2. So they did this by saying he beat Eyedol, which is total nonsense in my opinion. Gargos wouldn't have a chance.
Based on the way Gargos fights with minions and generally corrupting people like Jago from the background, I'd say Gargos did it with cunning rather than brute strength, because seriously, I don't think Eyedol loses to anyone with raw power. I imagine Gargos got on Eyedol's good side then backstabbed him (or rather, back-headsplit.)
@@TheAmberFang According to the lore of the Reboot, Gargos fought Eyedol when the former tried to take over the earth, lost, and then later on beat him after gaining control over the Astral Plane. Given how strong Gargos is with all buffs in Shadow Lords mode, especially if we’re using Challenging or Godlike difficulty, I can definitely see why Eyedol lost even with full power. And like you pointed out, Gargos is a master schemer and manipulator. And in combat, his aerial mobility, strong zoning and strong melee options definitely make it possible for him to deal with what Eyedol can throw at him.
... Funny how this model is not "so well" done : when he switches side, their heads and the tattoo switch too. Please tell me I'm not the only one who saw this...
damn, why does every character from IG have to have their own meter or stock system? Why couldn't it be a simple button input to switch stances like in other fighting games? Maya,Hisako,Aganos, Mira, Arbiter, Eyedol, Shago
i know they're trying to put in different playstyles, but it's annoying for some characters. Eyedol could have been perfect with a stance change. i prefer his rushdown mode than his magic mode, so now i can't play one style only.
+Tyrese Lyons best zoning in the game and very powerful rushdown with two damn recaptures bro wth are you thinking😂😂😂 and shit gets 10x harder when hes in instinct and lets not forget he can just build instinct by doing miniscule damage by punching himself in the face that can also trigger a stance change
That sounds retarded. I don't remember the eyedol being electric, he looks like shit, and he have to beat his self up to get stronger. What type of Willie Bo-Bo bullshit is that??? All that zoning and rush down crap doesn't mean a thing if GI can't keep thee original KI boss true to his self.
Iron Galaxy mechanics = great! Iron Galaxy art design = absolute garbage. I wish double helix didn't lose out on this game like they did because they had enough nostalgia and freshness that it felt like a true sequel. Now Iron Galaxy are just destroying these characters one by one with the ultra generic feel and just horrible design choices. On the other hand, that game engine is not holding up over time... at all...
Problem i always had with Killer instinct is they have always said it was a "Budget " game so would not have had the financing that other microsoft games have.....and worse is both Double Helix and iron galaxy had a really really strict time limit to work on the game though Iron galaxy from what i remember when they showed of Tj combo for the first time they had only had access to the game engine for about 8 weeks, so 8 weeks to learn someone elses game engine, design character, and make it. I always felt if only were given more time.
I don't know. I can see that as a fair argument in the early days, but even since then, these characters they have come up with have all just been so lackluster and boring. Omen is a translucent dude that looks like something a six year old drew in the back of his notebook, Aria? Kim Wu looks twice as generic as the original did, same can be said for Cinder. Idol is just stupid looking now. They have really soured me on this game since they took over.
@@rewris I don’t know how you can say that when Gargos is so amazing. Incredible moveset and imposing visage. Much better than his original design or the one Double Helix was going to use.
![THIS IS WHAT A PERFECT AKUMA LOOKS LIKE??? [AKUMA TAS REACT]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vqA4K-MAYec/mqdefault.jpg)
A stance/transforming character? Where you can't just stick to one form?
FUCKING GENIUS!!!!!
I know Jago hates being the training dummy whenever a new character pops up
I love how they are so creative with these interpretations of classic characters. Classic looks really great but the new costume and character concept is amazing!
Retro Eyedol is obviously the one everybody will be using, it looks the best
You know what would be awesome? If Eyedol could be controlled by two players like Cho'Gall from Heroes of the Storm. The catch would be that one player can control Eyedol at a time as long as their respective head is active, but also Eyedol's Instinct Mode will let both players control him simultaneously.
no
Why not? It could be a good way to turn Eyedol into a sort of tag team character. What would be wrong about that?
He makes Gargos look simplistic.

Eitherway, it's good that these retro costumes are available so that everyone can be happy.
yeah I can agree with you on that one totally...having retro costumes and customisation is very nice...games don't do enough of that
I honestly can't believe anyone prefers retro costumes. Most of them look like trash to me.
Especially retro cinder.
Orchid like: What the fuck these mother fuckers done put me up against?!?!?
The Deadman, Himself. The Undertaker… Aka. Mark William Calaway
What were they talking about at 32:26?
probably the new stage but it was covered by the audience
Eyedol vs Gargos
face to face

the suite was filled with 200+ people. it was hot, people were drinking. shit happens.

It's like waking someone up to tell them to go to sleep.
Also, it was 1:00 in the morning, hot off the heels of KI Evo Top 8. Not everyone was in the best state of mind at the time.
Because they weren't raised with any etiquette or class.
Can't wait for July 22nd now!
Anyone's up for some exibition matches on its realease night?
Yea! My gamer tag is ChicoChopsticks

IDK man, maybe master both stances? He's definitely not for Shadow Gaygo spammers.

[muffled WHYYYYYYY in the distance]
Predator and Alien would be cool in this game...

the classic looks awesome
something I realize they say eyedol is their only stance character but they have aria
Would riptor be counted as a stance character to ?
+Eastyy's blogspot kinda but she's more just transition while they have a completely different stance all together
told you, that is what I thought...the reason his head is like that is because....Gargos fought him and Eyedol lost. we have to remember this is the KI remake so the old story doesn't exist where Jago and Orchid fought Eyedol. the characters were all brought back but their backstories were altered...some more than others. for example Tusk used to be married to Maya in the original but in this he is a barbarian from the north not an Amazonian like her
24:43
So it's called Meteor Strike. And this is the Shadow version: 25:21. Look familiar?
Hint: ruclips.net/video/qdIWdn9Vgxo/видео.html
It reminded me of Final Fantasy magic but that's cool
Also Tusk in K.I 2 had a meteor rain no mercy
Hey he looks like the 2 headed cyclop from Popeye vs Sinbad cartoon
Missing basic projectiles, missing running uppercut, missing foot stomp animation....
how is a redesigned character missing anything? hes not the old version of the character.
Just noting what's not carried over.
+voltz15 maybe you should note what's been added and updated. hes a much better, more flushed out character than the lame 94 interpretation. even the old devs hated eyedol.
So he's like Tira with Gloomy & Jolly style change.
I love what they did with him, both in terms of fighting styles and visually. He looks great. Retro costume's dope too. I wonder if this concludes KI support. Will there be a season 4 eventually?

Hi
We need Gargos vs Eyedol for next EVO's KI grand final.
I wanna see that money match
I wanna see what everyone keeps looking at on the select screen
mage mode reminding me of marvel's blackheart
Sooooo his head is just one cut in half? Well...my whole life is fucked up
The video starts at 12:24
Details are important, and this is a good character, but I would prefer to avoid the mirror screen on each side, maybe would be great that in right side, red face were in front, he can change his skull garrote of hand to be more symetric but, faces and left arm illumination should stay in its side like Jago's tattooes
RNG PLEASE RNG PLEASE
WTF WAS IRON GALAXY THINKING ? EYEDOL IS OP
It's kind of overshadowed by the fact you won't always have what you want because of the random chance
Ben Conrad what are gou talking about. Im saying hes over powered
So what's his combo trait? For eyedol
Two playstyles in one char?
I'd consider the idea that his stances can potentially change mid-combo.
he sounds like a mixture of zoning and rushdown to me....but the fact that you can't control it sounds a lot like Mira...it could just be me but Mira is similar in that you can't stop her dying when using certain attacks and it is hard to use the ONLY attack that leeches back life (where she grabs u and swoops into the air and bites.)
it would be to be able to do 2 different linkers at once
+SonicDolphin117's Channel also u can force a stance change
so is the characters all getting ultimate combos
will there a version of this game on disc where every character and costume is on the disc like mk xl or not yet
Yup in sept www.ultra-combo.com/killer-instinct-definitive-edition/
yes coming in September. I believe sept 20th
+Eastyy's blogspot cool thanks for the info I can't wait
yea it comes out in november
was thinking that - i prefer disc in general
So when is he coming out?
For ultra and supreme edition holders this friday...for everyone else next friday
