Blinx & other forgotten Xbox Characters should be fighters in Killer Instinct 2
- Thread starter Jawmuncher
- Start date
It's a slower paced action game. The big things I remember being talked about at that time were that it was one of the few Microsoft-produced japanese exclusives on the original Xbox and that some people that worked on FFIX worked on this one.
I remember seeing screenshots before release and thinking it looked pretty nice visually, playing a bit some years later it's seemed ok enough (didn't get very far though). Technically it's a first party game from what I understand.
I was so hyped for this game.Ladies and Gentlemen, your next EVO champion:
The Dude from Sudeki.
Phantom dust is the shit tho. To bad that remake never panne dout.
To the point that Blinx was abandoned. They dropped the trademark in 2014. Microsoft no longer owns it.
I wish they did do this, just to get all these character design disasters in one place. It would be like a perfect storm of desperately cool.
fuck it have all the characters be vehiclesa Kinect fighter like the Hornet on Megamix
Warthog and other Halo vehicles, Crimson Skies planes, Sea of Thieves ship, guest characters like the Crazy Taxi etc. Hell have the Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts vehicle essentially be a create-a-character
If they're going to go that route, it should be characters that make sense and fit the bill of the game. Blinx certainly wouldn't. Nor would Banjo or Conker. Kameo is a good option as long as it saw her transforming into some of the her characters, like Pummelweed. Joanna and Master Chief could work. Maybe Cooper/Amber?
Yes, but only if it's an exact clone of Smash's formula, unlike PSASBR.
This is what I really want. Would look amazing in the Bleeding Edge artstyle.
I would prefer PSASBR style more. I cannot stand Smash and its game play. But that is just me.
An All-Star Xbox game with proper fighting and not too cartoony.
Azurik was the OG Xbox game I wanted most of all when I got mine, but I couldn't beat the second level (the fire one)
And Blinx the cat was freaking amazing

Interesting, I'd want them to play into a cartoony side more.
Monkey is a good choice, but as for the others you listed, I'd say Sho-Yu or Chop & Styx are more iconic from KFC.
Everyone wants a mascot fighter but a mascot racer is the way to go for MS
I wanna see either Tartarus or Jack of Blades
or hell do something really interesting and do Mingy Jongo from banjo tooie

Maybe somewhere in the middle then? Not too realistic and not too cartoony
I love the posts in this thread that are like "No these characters should be forgotten dont ruin killer instinct" as if this was a survey for an actual "Forgotten Xbox Characters Only" KI season and not a fun wrapper to talk about old forgotten xbox games
-Joanna Dark from Perfect Dark
-Jack of Blades from Fable
-Reaver from Fable II-III
-Cortana from Halo
-Skorge from Gears
-Kaim from Lost Odyssey
-The Dark Queen from Battletoads
-Senua from Hellblade
Ideally I'd want two new KI games though:
Killer Instinct 4: Proper sequel with returning KI characters as well as few newcomers.
Killer Instinct X: Full-on crossover game with an all-star Xbox cast.
...but I'm going to be happy if we even get a sequel at all.
(Edit: I guess I just wrote my wishlist instead of thinking of actual forgotten characters. To be fair, I can't think of a lot of forgotten Xbox characters I'd like to see in Killer Instinct. I feel like most of the forgotten and abandoned ones would fit better in a mascot racer tbh.)

I was just about to say Otogi chars. God I hope we get a sequel one day. Full of destruction!
RaĂŻkoh and the Crimson King, obviously. Otogi 2 is criminally underated and forgotten.
Nanashi/Edgar/Freia from would not only easily be able to fit in thematically, but the breadth of abilities in Phantom Dust could make for some really interesting gameplay styles for the purposes of Killer Instinct. Particularly with how unique every individual character already is in the game, there's precedent set for them doing some really fun and creative things with them. Kelly or Saburouta from Gunvalkyrie would be interesting, but as much as I love that game, it'd seem like a really odd pull for a KI character.
That said, the actual correct answer is Bottles, as he confirmed that he's going to star in Killer Instinct back in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts.
