I was absolutely bummed when Kim Wu and Tusk didn't make it into Season 2 of Killer Instinct, but after watching their character trailers, I think that the wait was well worth it. Not counting Eyedol and Gargos, who were boss characters in Killer Instinct 1 and 2 respectively, Tusk is the last remaining classic character to be added to the reboot of the game.
To me, Tusk looks like he will be a grappling character like Thunder. If Tusk gets in close, it looks like he is going to deliver massive damage from his sword and he also has a german suplex as well although I'm not sure if that going to be one of his moves, or his throw.
I absolutely love how they turned him from Conan The Barbarian into a massive Norse Viking. I absolutely love the music for his stage as well and the Sweedish death metal vibe that it has. Out of all of the returning Killer Instinct characters they revamped, I think Tusk may just be my favorite and I think he will be the first person I try out when I get season 3 later this month.
