Part of what set KI apart was the shiny. It just looked sleeker than the other fighters. The particle effects were top notch for the time. After watching this, it looks like bonus characters added to the last Mortal Kombat game. Nothing really new or exciting to look at here.
Yea Max was saying a few of the guys were finding cheap shit with both Jago and Sabrewolf at the E3 floor but alot of it had to do with the fact that Mike Z wrote all the code for that demo on short notice so it wasn't fully fleshed out.
