Iron Galaxy Studios went live yesterday with a special stream introducing the next addition to Killer Instinct’s roster, Shadow Jago (Shago to his friends). The team described this new fighter as a “much higher risk version of Jago,” sporting “dirtier offense.”

To demonstrate this nasty fighting, everything the possessed fighter brings to the arena was laid out in detail, including his stellar walk speed, long-range, high commitment dashes, and normals, the latter in particular featuring a toward roundhouse that can be forward dash canceled and and overhead that can be canceled into from any normal.

The aforementioned overhead also causes a stagger state, a mechanic that will be fully added to the game once season three gets underway. As you could likely guess from its name, stagger causes targets to reel back and leaves ample time for follow-up attacks or even a throw.

Combined with previous gameplay details regarding his specials and surge potential, Shadow Jago is shaping up to be a drastically different character than his original counterpart, one that should be a blast to play when early acces begins tomorrow.

If you missed out on the stream, archived footage is available here.
