Killer Instinct gets Cinder

Teases Aria.

This week fighting game Killer Instinct gets a new character: Cinder.

In the video, below, we see Cinder in action, courtesy of a stream by developer Iron Galaxy (skip to the 20 minute mark). Cinder was one of the playable characters in the original Killer Instinct, developed by Rare and released in 1994. In the Killer Instinct reboot, released alongside the Xbox One in 2013, Cinder employs an aerial-dashing-trapping style of play.
