    There are a heck of a lot of changes coming and Keits and co showed them off over the weekend. So much so that it took over 2 hours to go through all the changes. If you haven't got that long, you can find a full rundown here.

    If that wasn't enough, there was also the unveiling of Kim Wu. Check out the trailer below and Halo fans may want to watch the last 20 seconds.

    You know Wu's lines in the trailer and cheesy as hell but I can dig the Buffy vibe. That along with the addition of the Arbiter makes me pretty sure that'll I'll end up buying the season. I'm not even that into fighting games but after buying the complete collection that included 1 and 2 when it was on sale, I just enjoy the kind of crazy feel the game has.

    I do wish there was a bigger story mode like Mortal Kombat but I'll admit that I'm not sure the cheesy characters would be able to sustain one.

    I am a big fan of Wu's moveset and am real interested to see how it feels whenever I manage to get my hands on it. Which will probably be whenever season 3 launches in March.

    @andrew2696: I wonder if they end up doing the story stuff later down the line. Season 2 seemed like it was about IG showing that they're taking over so here's our take and they delivered. For S3, it seems like they're just changing a bunch of shit about how the game is even played while adding more content and characters. Throughout S3, we could see them making changes here and there but for S4, BAM, here's our story mode. MK9 knocked it out of the park so hard with the story stuff though that they even set themselves up too much that people were disappointed with MKX.

    @mrcraggle: Think there's gonna be a season 4? On one hand people seem to like KI on the other it doesn't seem like the numbers are that high. Not low but not high either.

    But as Microsoft's quasi answer to SFV and the quality it'd be smart to keep it up.

    Though season 4 for a story seems pretty far and maybe too late.

    @andrew2696: I definitely think there'll be a season 4. It's only releasing for PC in March and with the Xbox not getting SF V, I can only see them continuing to support it.

    A lot of people haven't used the Windows store at all or haven't tried go to the actual location of files but it's a pretty closed environment. I'm going to ahead and say that this won't work, even after revealing hidden files, changing permissions, etc.
