I’m a huge fan of "Killer Instinct" for Xbox One, which blends the joys of button mashing with a huge amount of depth. So I’m thrilled that the classic character Spinal has now arrived for the game. Those who purchased the Combo Breaker Pack and the Ultra Edition of "Killer Instinct" will receive Spinal for no additional cost. The above video illustrates Spinal’s reimagined look, as well as some of his terrifying moves.
In an interview with Xbox Wire about Spinal, Creative Director Adam Isgreen describes what makes this iconic character special. “Spinal makes other characters play differently, and I think that’s his biggest strength. The fact he can absorb special attacks and projectiles, teleport, and drain meter (both instinct and shadow) makes him a formidable opponent. His weaknesses are that he’s momentum-based, especially with his drains. If you can’t keep up the pressure, you will easily be beaten by others,” Isgreen explains.
Head over to Xbox Wire to learn more about Spinal, including who he matches up best against, what his greatest strengths are and why the creators chose a Jason and the Argonauts motif for him.
