    There will be some changes to how we run the Pinultimate Promotion.
    It *might* impact timing of sending out the codes for this the Ultratech pin. Stay tuned!

    Ultratech Pin?

    I will set up a schedule to be at the booth and will be tweeting about it.
    And shit yeah, I would totally cosplay Orchid. I will join Crossfit next month with that in mind.

    Think there will be a huge turn out each day to fight you?

    edit: Also, do you have any clue when the Tournament(s) is(are) for the pin? Just in case I can't get to whooping you one day. ;)

    Quick question ...... is the KI fightstick pin exclusive to this PAX thing?? If so is it part of the Pin collection??

    I'm assuming it'll be available first at PAX, and then later as a challenge pin (April's hopefully?)

    This weekend will involve me training my hardest to beat @HonestHippo. Im going to be wearing a sweatband to make it look more authentic.

    Pin Pals, I come to you with sad news.
    Effective today, I will no longer on point for the Pin Ultimate promotion, and will be, most likely, transitioning to a new role at MS.

    I did my best to transfer the knowledge and relationships to keep this rather cool initiative alive, and I am trusting that the KI team will continue running it in an awesome way.

    As I mentioned last week, the transition will most likely delay communications a bit, but last month's challenge will still be evaluated and you will still be getting the awesome fightstick pin at PAX.

    I will still be lurking the forums, every once in a while, and just like the rest of you will be eagerly waiting for my pins to arrive by mail (OK not true, I will most likely just drive to PA and steal them).

    Are you going to be the one that we are challenging at PAX?

    I am sad to hear that you aren't going to be the person looking after us, but good luck on your new endeavor. :)

    Ya know, I enjoyed having you around here. thanks for that. Hopefully I can still play you at PAX whether or not its in an official capacity. Will getting the pin at PAX still work the same way?

    Good luck in your future endeavors at MS

    Participants in the KI tournament hosted by Major League Gaming (MLG) at Turtle Beach’s booth will get a KI Fightstick Pin. You can also Challenge Dave McCrate to a KI fight to the death at the Xbox booth; defeat him for a pin.

    is our new community correspondent maybe?

    you should beat him on my behalf also, because I don't like my odds of winning against…anyone. ;)

    I just want to use a regular One controller and not a fightstick. Fightstick means I need a second to reacquaint myself with the controls.

    The fightstick? If so I thought it was already in established it was long ago?

  • TheAggroCraigTheAggroCraig Ultimate Lucky Douchebag MassachusettsRegistered User regular
    Dan did say there would be other opportunities to get it out of PAX, they'll just be limited or something.

    I'm gonna try to sign up for a tournament, which I'll probably be eliminated instantly.

    To anyone heading up this weekend, stay safe.

    Just got an April email update, KI fightstick will be available for sale shortly after pax for those who cannot attend and IS the April pin ultimate pin.

    March pins, ultratech and thunder will be available soon, im guessing all at the same time

    Well, Im back in the real world (for better or worse depending on how you look at it). I got to play Dave, who was super cool. When I was in line, I could tell he was a Thunder fan, which made it even more fun for me when I got up there as I have been using Thunder exclusively for a bit now. He asked if I had it and told him that I was a Pin edition owner. He put up a great fight but in the end I beat him and got my pin. So Dave, if you are reading this, it was great to play you and I had fun with the challenge.

    Out of curiosity, do we have a solid date for the March pins going up? I know the newsletter said it would be immediately after the convention, but has anyone clarified how long "immediately" will be?

    Personal opinion is later in the week. Theyre probably holding off for the April pins as well and have to count how many they have left.

  • AyefkayAyefkay Queensland, AustraliaRegistered User regular
    Theyll probably even release both march and april together

    Pretty sure he held back a bit so people wouldn't be turned off on the game. Ha.

    He (and others in the line) were happy to see me pick Glacius. I said that using the stick might throw off my game, but I was still able to pull off most of what I know. After I "won," someone in that crowd said it was a fix (since I said I might not be as good with the stick).

    Do we know happened with the pins for the tournament? I was in the Saturday one(got bodied by a Glacius in the first round) but there seemed to be some confusion over the pins.

  • ancienteternityancienteternity Registered User regular
    I was just glad I didn't act a fool with that fightstick. First time touching one for KI, but I pulled it out!

    I lost in the first round and asked about the pins and the guy said that only the top 2 got them. Dunno if that was the same for everyone, but that's what he told me.

    They said that whatever they had left from PAX would be in the store. With that said, they said they were out of them on Sunday at the Booth….so I'm not sure if they held some back or?

    You would figure they would hold back enough for the Pin Ultimate people to buy online. Kind of a dick thing to not make a pin available for people that put out extra cash for this edition.

    I'm sure if nothing else they have enough for the pin edition holders…but who knows. Since they are 'in transition' with Dan gone, and they don't have anyone who is interested in the pins(as far as no one who collects like us) maybe they didn't plan well. We will have to find out and see.

    I did talk to them Friday and found out that other then Dan there seemed to be very little interest in the Pins, with Dan gone from the team it makes me caution on their pre-planning.


    Also, for the folks who did the tournament and didn't get a pin. That was also poor planning. We actually went to The Microsoft booth and after discussing with multiple people found out that all but one of them didn't even know the tourney got pins. They gave us pins and said that they would correct for the tournaments Sunday, but the others who did the tourney kinda got jipped.

  • symmetricsymmetric Registered User regular
    Wow, I agree that something should be done for the Pin Edt. customers who couldn't make it to PAX. Leave it to poor planning to leave a sour taste in ppls mouths. I feel sorry for those that got jipped thanks to false pretenses.
