Killer Instinct Season Two Finale Adds Story Mode, Fixes Lingering Bugs

The final patch for Killer Instinct’s season two went live just a short while ago. This patch brought with it a handful of bug fixes, added the new Story Mode and made both retro ARIA and the ARIA announcer available. For a full list of the changes that came along with the patch, you can head over to the Ultra Combo forums, or check out the drop down list at the bottom of this post.

In addition to pushing out these changes, the folks at Iron Galaxy Studios also released a trailer to celebrate the end of the game’s second season. If you missed any of the action that came along with this most recent leg of the KI journey, the video below does a good job summing it up.

And with all of this to show off, it’s impossible not to look forward to what season three will bring.

Patch 2.8 Changes
System Changes:

  • If the opponent performs a Counter Breaker after a launcher and you are too low to the ground to air tech to your feet, you will land on your back and automatically quick rise, leaving the opponent punishable as expected.
  • Fixed a very rare issue that could cause a player to get stuck on their back after a knockdown and never get up.

No changes for:

  • Jago
  • Sabrewulf
  • Glacius
  • Thunder
  • Spinal
  • Fulgore
  • Maya
  • Omen

Sadira:

  • A long while ago, we prevented Sadira from placing Instinct Webs during her Counter Breaker animations to remove safe Counter Breakers. A bug that allowed her to still place one near the end of her ground Counter Breaker has been fixed.

Orchid:

  • Fixed a bug preventing Orchid from doing Opener Cancels (Doubles, Linkers) after Blockade Runner (Slide) caused a counter hit.

TJ Combo:

  • Fixed a bug that allowed TJ to perform an Ultra Combo during Auto Barrage, even though he was supposed to be locked in.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause you to dash in the wrong direction if you backdashed as your opponent crossed over you.
  • TJ’s Tremor VFX Tell Trails were accidentally copied to his Linker versions. This change was unintended, and the Linker’s trails will be removed in hot fix coming soon.

Kan Ra:

  • Whirl now leaves a visual indication of what strength it was when used from neutral so that opponents don’t have to make a pure guess on breaking this recapture.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause you to dash in the wrong direction if you backdashed as your opponent crossed over you.

Riptor:

  • Fixed an issue where Riptor’s Backdash-Reverse (an auto correct version of backdash played when people are jumping over you) was lacking collision boxes.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause you to dash in the wrong direction if you backdashed as your opponent crossed over you.

Aganos:

  • Fixed a few issues where Aganos chunk armor would not trigger as expected.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause Aganos to freeze in place if his opponent combo broke an Opener->Ender Wall Crash with a wall nearby.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause you to dash in the wrong direction if you backdashed as your opponent crossed over you.

Hisako:

  • Fixed an issue that could cause you to dash in the wrong direction if you backdashed as your opponent crossed over you.
  • Fixed a missing vulnerable box at the end of Hisako’s back throw, leaving her invulnerable for a few frames if the player didn’t press any directions.
  • Fixed a bug causing Hisako’s Influence to scale incorrectly after a Wall Splat.

Cinder:

  • Fixed an issue that could cause you to dash in the wrong direction if you backdashed as your opponent crossed over you.

Aria:

  • Fixed a bug where an Aria drone would stay on screen if the same drone she would have swapped to is in its damaged state when she is KO’ed.
  • Fixed a bug where you could see a duplicate drone when activating instinct mode.
  • Fixed a bug where the crouching HK sweep was breakable/counter breakable.
  • Fixed a bug causing Upload Enders to deal more damage than intended.
