If you've been playing Killer Instinct on something of a fixed budget, you've had a go with Jago, Thunder, and more recently, Sabrewulf, but now, it's Orchid's turn. PlayXBLA let slip that the original femme fatale for the free-to-play fighter revamp is now ready to sample at no cost all through the week.
Once upon a time, Orchid was more than fine with using the gifts God gave her to send her opponent's jaw to the floor. But that was a different time, and Double Helix has since done away with the Fatality-styled No Mercy finishers. Despite a newfound reluctance to reveal her "assets," as it were, Double Helix's Orchid is still a force to be reckoned with.
Noted a brief writeup on PlayXBLA: "Paranoid, unstable, and disavowed from her agency, Orchid is more than determined to carry out her crusade against the crumbling Ultratech. Setting out to build an underground network that will prove Ultratech's existence is very much active, she won't go down without a fight. Equipped with batons, quick attacks, and her fire-cat, Orchid enters the battle ready to take on anyone who challenges her. Available today in our FREE character rotation!"
Once the week's up and you've decided to add her to your own roster, Orchid can be yours for $4.99.
If you've yet to see the lime green vixen in action, make sure you check out the video below to watch her pummel Sabrewulf with an astounding 100 hit ultra combo, chock full with enough spinning kicks to make your head pull a Linda Blair.
