Killer Instinct Composers Offer a Look into the Creation of Mira’s Theme

Bringing a game to life requires the combined effort of many different types of artists. If you’re interested in watching some of that art come to be, celldweller and Atlas Plug have released another inside look at the creation of a Killer Instinct Season 3 character theme, this time for Mira.

Since Mira is an entirely new character, they had the freedom to turn her theme into whatever they saw fit, rather than trying to align it with some past iteration in a previous game. This freedom, in conjunction with some input regarding Mira’s backstory, resulted in the combination of pipe organs, heavy bass, a full orchestra, and more that help bring this new character to life.

Shoryuken Rankings Player Profiles Now Sport Handy Links to Maxoplata Data

If you’ve been around the fighting game community for a while, you’ve probably stopped by our Fighting Games World Rankings page a time or two. The page specializes in gathering as much tournament data as possible without the need for brackets, allowing for ease of coverage on a global scale. This is not without its limitations, however, and prior to today, those looking for match-by-match data for their favorite players needed to find that information elsewhere.

Thanks to an update to our ranking page, interested parties can now follow the appropriate Maxoplata link included in player profiles to take a look at all of the little details for the player in question, including scoring breakdowns and videos on demand where available.

These combined data sets make keeping up with tournament goings-on a breeze, and also offer a great way to easily study up on top players.
