Taking a page out of the old Virtua Fighter handbook, if an opponent goes down, Tusk can quickly leap over and pounce on his foe to add a little emphasis on any combo. One of Tusk's more interesting moves is a follow-up stomp on a fallen opponent. Tusk's Instinct will allow him to cancel any special move into another special move, creating different combo possibilities and a chance to strike quicker. While Tusk may not be able to cancel out of many of his moves, that changes if he activates Instinct. If Tusk is looking to punish foes for getting in too close, he has a Dragon Punch-style move he can launch himself with. In addition to acting as a powerful overhead strike, the Skull Crusher can destroy enemy projectiles, if timed correctly. Tusk can likewise counter fireballs with his Skull Crusher special. If an opponent attempts to strike during any of these white frames, Tusk will instantly counter-attack. Tusk's specials are interesting in that there's a visible white frame attached to all of them. In fact, Stagger was designed mainly for Tusk, as he can hit opponents hard enough to rock them briefly, giving him an open window for multi-hit combos. Tusk also utilizes one of KI's newest mechanics, Stagger, to great effect. Tusk cannot cancel out of any of these moves and given his slower motions, if an opponent dodges any of his moves, they have ample room to punish. There is a major trade-off for this wide reach, though. Tusk's sword gives him tremendous reach with his normals, with his Heavy Punch and Heavy Kick moves practically reaching across the screen. He's back with his gargantuan sword and, as expected, that's his distinguishing feature.

Tusk should look familiar to anyone that played Killer Instinct 2 back in the day. The two most recent characters were both present at a recent Xbox press event, so Shacknews had the opportunity to go hands on with Tusk and the Arbiter. As stated earlier, the new season will begin with four new playable characters and all of them are blasts from the past in their own way.
