Autumn Games and Reverge Labs to Unleash Skullgirls in 2011; Additional Details to be Revealed at GDC
Los Angeles – Feb. 3, 2011 – Prepare for the fight of your life! Autumn Games, a premier publisher of interactive entertainment, is working with game developer Reverge Labs to develop Skullgirls, a new fast-paced 2D fighting game that puts players in control of fierce female warriors in an extraordinary Dark Deco world. The team is led by renowned fighting game champion Mike “Mike Z” Zaimont and artist Alex Ahad, whose work has appeared in many publications, including Scott Pilgrim and Lava Punch. Using advanced graphical technology never before achieved in a game of its type, Skullgirls is currently in development for a 2011 release on high-definition home consoles.
“We believe that Skullgirls has the chops to be the next big 2D fighter – it has amazing art, tight gameplay, and a rich and deep backstory,” said Jason Donnell, president and COO, Autumn Games. “Working with the talented group at Reverge Labs is an added bonus, particularly with Mike Z’s expertise in the competitive games arena and Alex Ahad’s phenomenal art style. Together we’re delivering a challenging and competitive – and really fun – game, wrapped in the convenience and easy expandability of DLC on the two leading gaming services.”
“We’re aiming to create a new take on fighting games, drawing on our own experience as competitive gamers to combine the best elements of classic fighters into something with intense action, an engaging story and the most advanced 2D fighting engine ever created,” said Richard Wyckoff, CEO, Reverge Labs. “Autumn Games is quickly making a name for itself in the industry as a publisher of fresh and exciting games and a true partner to independent game developers, and they were the ideal choice for us to partner with on Skullgirls.”

It looks realy horrible, like a doujin game of a doujin game.
I think it's good IMO. But the combo system feels horrible to me. I just can't imagine that burst thing to evade infinites. As lolmechy said in MI, looks like they're lazy with the combo system and they want to go for the easy way to implement it.

Hah! I was wondering if I was ever going to see this again. An old housemate of mine worked on the sprites for the black-haired chick in OP.
EDIT: So it makes infinite combos a gameplay mechanic..? That's a unique way to not betatest a game.

A game where the objective is getting infinites going.
And where the guy from boxerhockey is participating, my feelings are fighting each others for domination.
I'm nearly certain that the guy that made the sprites for Vanguard Princess worked with them. If you look at the sprites, they have that slight gradient with the highlight on the side, just like VP. Their style is more SD though.
The guy who did the sprites for VP is japanese. The ones who is doing the Skullgirl sprites is not. That alone says that it's quite improbable that they worked on this together, and impossible that they're the same person.

Sudden death is in many things with rounds, heck if you keep getting draws BB will go up to 5 rounds longer before it automatically declares Ragna the winner (even if he's not playing!), but it doesn't make as much sense in a team game with no rounds.
How about button config while loading, since that's time you can't do anything else? :^)
Do keep in mind that we haven't even come close to announcing all the non-gameplay-related features yet, so suggestions are mostly ignored. (^.^)

Even though BB doesn't have Sudden Death at all. Assuming a best 2 out of 3: -If there is a draw in Round 1 it will disregard the round entirely. -If there is a draw in Round 2 or 3 it will set the points 1 round each. Of interesting note in Continuum Shift is that if there is a draw in this case, neither player will get their second burst available. -If there is a draw in the extra round(Or Round 4 in this case), the match is over and both players will be declared as the loser of the match.

It's kind of deja vu for me. My old housemate was one of the ring-ins they got to do the sprites back before they went all secretive, so I've seen all of these characters in advance. Thing is, that was a good four years ago now, so I'd forgotten the game even existed.

If you are on your way to EVO 2011, then you want to read this:
iPLAYWINNER.com said:
If you're headed out to EVO this weekend, you might be interested to know that Skullgirls developer Reverge Labs will be dropping by and throwing not only a panel, but also a side tournament for the as-of-yet unreleased title. The panel kicks off at 12:00 PM on Friday, and the side tournament is tentatively scheduled to start around 5 PM.
There's a little more incentive to participate in the side tourney beyond having the chance to play an unreleased game, though. Reverge Labs is also throwing some prizes into the mix, with second and third place receiving a Skullgirls-themed t-shirt - the grand prize is a custom, one-of-a-kind Skullgirls arcade stick designed by the team over at Arcade-in-a-Box (http://www.aiabstore.com).
If you want a chance to win the stick, be sure to register at the Skullgirls table no later than 3 PM on Saturday. If you do plan to enter, let us know!

Some more news for the front, courtesy of iPlayWinner.com:
iPLAYWINNER.com said:
Our good friend Jesse Cortez over at Destructoid (http://www.destructoid.com/hands-on-with-parasoul-from-skullgirls-209206.phtml) had some time to sit down with Mike Z at EVO and try out one of Skullgirls newly announced characters Parasoul. He gives a great break down of her playstyle, relating many of her attacks to characters in other games to give readers a better idea what she is all about. Check out a small excerpt after the break and read the rest by clicking here (http://www.destructoid.com/hands-on-with-parasoul-from-skullgirls-209206.phtml).
Her special moves can be divided into two types. The first involves the use of her umbrella, which releases napalm grenades that travel in an arc dictated by how long you hold the button down. If you played as Cable from Marvel vs. Capcom 2, you should be familiar with this system. What I found interesting is that the Skullgirls team used EVO as a play-test and actually changed how these grenades worked based on what they saw at the convention. Therefore, the way to set off these grenades is still under development, but it's impressive that they are relying on actual gamer play-testing to decide on the final move set.

Beautiful stages - CHECK Beautiful colors - CHECK Beautiful palettes - CHECK Beautiful color separation - CHECK HD quality - CHECK Excellent music - CHECK (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tUlnpSYteA) Original gameplay design and original rules like infinite prevention and unblockable assist setup - CHECK Original or cool character design - Eh... I guess CHECK Good HUD thematic - CHECK (Much better than in previous versions) Good voice acting - CHECK (Even if I hate some cliche phrases like the one in Cerebella) Doujin or MVC style gameplay - CHECK Cosplay palettes - CHECK ZOMG training mode features - CHECK FLUID animations - CHECK
Then... can someone tell me why the fuck I dont like the game? I just can't get over the style the game has. It's really sad because this has like... every single little detail no other game adds in a normal basis like configurable controls in character select screen, savestates for training mode, characters DON'T repeat phrases or cut a previous one while blocking... I wish I can get over the drawing style and actually enjoy the game D:
I also still feel like the hitsparks feel pretty weak but that's one of the minor inconveniences the game has IMO.

I don't see why the art style is bad, it's just non-pixelated 2D art, pretty much what 2D fighters were supposed to be in the first place. Pixels were just the result of low computing strength.

In that case that's all in the gimmick of the game. The hats and the fact that it's an all female fighter (so far) so generally the artists want the women to look hentai-worthy enough to sell the game on sex appeal alone. The character designs are as good as it gets though for a female fighter, much more diverse than the typical female designs, and those that are cliche have a spin on them that brings them out from the rest. I think it's a very western style of 2D art that people don't appreciate anymore, and I like it. It also runs at 60 FPS so I'm certain the game will be pretty when it comes out.

I don't mind the artstyle at all ,but I can't really say I like the characters at all. Apart from Peacock and Parasoul, they're pretty bland for me. They do, however, look pretty in motion so I'm hoping the unreleased ones are pretty interesting animation wise too.

Make sure to download the 60FPS version of the video and check by yourself how it looks like outside of the shitty YT FPS.
I haven't been following this thread, so I don't know if what I say is normal, but wow, cooldown for summoning your allies is really short. Is this going to be okay?

You know how MvC2 and 3 had damn annoying but effective assists? SG takes that and removes the cooldown between them.
On another note, I don't see the Team ratio system SG has to work as well as it did in CvS2.

Skullgirls developers know people will complain if their game isn't offensive enough so they put in broken concepts that make the game artificially more exciting. I think Mike Z said something like that on SRK.

Tell me when I can watch more than fifteen seconds at a time. Gametrailers is ass.

basically, her storyline is that she got cutup in pieces but she can now control them. Her head works like donovan Sword or dboo puppet, it remains when she tags out and when she tags in she can attack with it imediately
she has a uppercut type kick that if she presses another kick while doing it, makes her fly upward after it to follow whoever she hit.
she is a rekka type character with low and high attacks
Her level 3 makes her body explode and reform in the head's position.

I feel like it's a wasted opportunity to make a great game. The detail and ideas implemented like the infinite prevention, awesome music, interactive tutorials, being able to configure the controls practically anytime, stuff specially created for tournaments, etc. Kinda feels like you SHOULD like the game but THEN you see the super fluid animation and... then you realize the drawing style is just damn lame for most of the people...
Mike Z already said he can do stuff to make his system more appealing but he can't do anything about the drawing style, is love it or hate it. And I damn hate it...
@Edtion: That's just a palette template to submit your creations. The game's style is OBVIOUSLY the same. Do you really think they will redraw every single animation NOW with that style? So close to release? A bit of logic please...

I agree absolutly about rednavis`s opinion about the game and the wasted potential thing
At the first sight it looked guilty gear or darkstalkers similar and i loved especially the latter of the two, but than this concept of uh..just..or mostly girls..and than this drawing style..and the characters itself are something i seriously cant take serious
I will try it if there will be a demo because videos and infos are one thing but to really judge about a game you need to play it of course.

People are stupid and can't find something wrong with the game so they use non-existant points to hate on it. The graphical style is fine, it's top-notch. The characters are fine, albeit overly sexualized (If that's a word.), and I don't usually like all-female fighters. The game is appealing to everything people complain about nowadays, "*insert FG here* is too slow.", "*insert FG here* is a sausage fest.*", "*insert FG here* is too scrub friendly.", so the developers finally make a game to answer these people's prayers, and then it gets bashed. WTF.

It's a fighting game. Graphics have very little to do with the quality of the game. Plus, it's not very much different from other graphical styles, and it's a much more common graphical style to the casual eye. Alot of cartoons and stuff have that kind of style. Not only that, but the character designs in Skullgirls are cool because they are different. They aren't very common character designs, and are far better than the run-of-the-mill character designs that people seem to enjoy. It's crazy and wacky, and it has better designs than Arcana Heart or Guilty Gear.

It doesn't invalidate his post, because that's common knowledge. And it's not a "turd", I think people are just going off on this game just because it isn't sprites, although sprites are supposed to mimic real art.

I say this simply because over-exaggerated body parts and wacky designs like this are usually expressed in sprites and not actual drawn art. Though I think the art is better because it's not drawn to realistic proportions

I don't see anything wrong with this game ether and it has something that is missing in many fighting games originality and SkullGirls has it! Graphics are not everything presentation is important but if you neglect other things it can all fall apart! The most important thing is how it plays! Play the game first before making your judgement maybe it's the best fighting game ever!
If you have something you don't like or want to add tell them about it at least they are willing to listen!
If I have a problem with a game I am willing to tell them about it!

Bunch of features. Anti-infinite burst looks nice, but has it been detailed exactly how this works yet? If they stick with the only-available-after-ten-hits I have to ask what the point is against characters like Cerebella where you're already dead before you get a chance to burst the infinite. Really digging the custom assists, though.

They explained it before. The game picks up if the combo is an infinite or not as the combo goes on. It doesn't stop the infinite until the game is absolutely sure that the combo is an infinite, and then that's when you burst. They did this because they didn't want to include an overly harsh damage dampener or hit stun deterioration because people often dislike them. I can see your point about the Cerebella deal but I don't think she'll have many infinites anyway, ofc if she does then you probably won't ever be able to use 3 characters on her, maybe 2.

Yeah, cause not being interested in this lackluster looking piece of graphics-over-gameplay drivel certainly means you must be an MVC3 fanboy. You must be one of those people that thinks not liking every boring hipster band on the planet means you must listen to Soulja Boy.

Graphics over gameplay? Quite a perplexing statement. I'v been following the gameplay for several monthes now. I'v read pretty much everything Mike Z has said in the Q&A srk thread about the fine details of the gameplay. And I'v watched many streams to see both casual players and tourney pro's alike praise it. Honestly, the attention to detail and creativity in the gameplay department astounds me.
And I assure you, I have very little taste for underground music.
But that's ok. I'd be happy to have a civil conversation about the game. And I assure you, I won't start insulting you if you disagree with me. So tell me, why exactly do you think they are putting graphics over gameplay?

By the way, I don't like double posting, but I just wanted to say that after thinking it over, I apologize for what I said earlier. I don't mean to insult Marvel 3 or those who play it. I just wanted to point out how absurd it is to not do any research on a game and then point to one character and say "that's the only interesting thing about the game".
Anyway, I want this game to succeed, for all the care and thought that is being put into it. And so I don't want to be a jerk about it and alienate marvel 3 fans by making this game out to be some sort of hardcore hipster thing. It seems like 99% of the people who don't like this game have done absolutely 0 research on it, and have based their opinions of it on several seconds of blurry gameplay footage on a slower, non finalized pre alpha build. I wish more people would open their minds and do some research to find out that the game is actually really good. It's well designed, innovative, and fast (the ten percent speed boost went along way. It's like on turbo mode now).
Anyway, to actually contribute to the thread, apparently a new character or something (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=32858637&postcount=59) is going to be revealed on black friday. Also, apparently the new character is further along in development then painwheel (http://neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=32799087&postcount=19)

I can't help but kinda agree with 'Squire' here on some aspects. What is so bad about this game that it turns a surprisingly amount of people off? From what I've read, seen, and heard, it has a lot going for it.
- It's played at 'Wed. Night Fights' which, for all intent purposes, is a beta testing ground to see what might be broken, etc. - It's quality 2-D with a lot of animation and work being put in - The 'graphics over gameplay' holds no merit what-so-ever as Mike Z is helping in this. From what I'm hearing from those 'Fights' the gameplay is a little MvC1 and Guilty Gear X. It looks nice, but gameplay is a heavy factor, so it's strong on both accounts - It's not Capcom, SNK, Namco, whatever, but an outside company trying to make a good fighting game. - Personal preference, but I like how the characters look so far. Peacock is a great nod to the golden age of cartoons, but I'll never play her due to her keep-away tactics. I'm mostly interested in Parasoul, Ms. Fortune, and Cerebella. It seems that a lot of hate is from how the designs look.
I, myself, am looking forward to this, and I'm not the biggest fan of MvC or GG type gameplay.

My reasons why i dislike this game so far are simply that it is full of girls.
Some of my favourite characters from fighting games of all times are freaks like Baraka from MK, Geese Howard and Billy Kane from Fatal Fury and B Orchid from Killer Instinct
In this game i see girls. A catgirl which can throw her head. A weak looking one with a hat with big arms. Thats just not my thing, absolutly not, call it sexsistic or whatever but i like my girls in fighting games either looking sexy or goddamn fierce
The next is the..yarrrr graphics.
For me they look like they have freaky anime characters put in western like comic style, something like that..and i just dislike it.
Gameplay wise the game looks good, it might even be very good. Thats still not reason enough for me to buy it. Alone already because a lot other great fighting games were ust released or getting released next year (SCV februar, SFXT march)

1: They are going to have male characters as dlc. Some of them look pretty tough, from the character sketches.
2: Give the art style a chance. I didn't like it either, but it has really grown on me. First of all, the game suffers from what I like to call "Blazblue syndrome", that being, the characters have meh portaits but in their sprites and animations, they look amazing.
3: From what I'v learned about this game so far, my honest oppinion is that this game is gonna blow all those games out of the water.

Well the game is only going to be 15 dollars. That's like, what, 1/4th as much as they are? I advise you to learn more about the gameplay. Sfxt, Umvc3, Sc5, I don't think any of them can match the sheer amount of thought and dedication that is being poured into each and every character in this game.

I'm just saying, it already looks to be the best air dash fighter since Accent Core. And with that price, you can't really go wrong.

This is a false argument. A fighter with stick figures would be unplayable because you wouldn't be able to tell what the fuck is going on. The ratio of female to male characters, whether they are drawn realistically or cartoony, should have NOTHING to do with one enjoyment of the gameplay.

To be honest, presentation matters as much as gameplay. If you don't like the way something looks or sounds you would be hard pressed to sit down and spend hours 'enjoying' the gameplay, no matter how good it is. Besides everyone has their own tolerance levels with this.

I thought we were talking about sprites. Oh well.
Ok then. I like Marvel Vs Capcom 2. It is one of my favorite games of all time. I would STILL play it religiously if every character was a stick figure. As long as you could somehow tell the overheads apart from the lows and whatnot, I would still play it.

Presentation. does not. matter. as much. as gameplay.
Let me give you example with mahvel again.
When I first started playing the series. I did not like super heroes. at all. But I played the games. Why? Because the gameplay made it worth it. I compartmentalized the character designs and the gameplay. You could have switched Iron Man with Sol Badguy or a stick figure and it wouldn't have made any difference. I played it for the gameplay.
And guess what? After a while, the super heroes started to grow on me. And now I'm tottaly cool with super heroism and all those wacky costumes.
So there.

Not liking the presentation is a valid reason for not liking a game. If you're playing a game, and you're constantly thinking "I hate these characters and I hate the design and I hate this music" and so on, it's not going to be easy to force yourself to get over all of the off-putting stuff just to experience the gameplay. It's not a matter of graphics vs gameplay. Aesthetic and presentation are just as important to a game as how it plays.

Alrighty then, have fun on missing out on all the excitement and strategy of all the great fighting games you'll miss over the years. I can't imagine the sadness of those who miss out on Street Fighter because they don't like big burly karate men. And I can't imagine the sadness of those who miss out on Mahvel because they don't like tights clad super heroes.

Yeah, they've been talking about Dlc a lot. Not just for characters but other features as well. They appear to plan to really be active throughout the games life and to continue putting out new characters "as long as we get payed to do so". I imagine if the game didn't have dlc, it would be delayed like another year.
Actually, a while back Mike Z said he was interested in putting in a 4 player mode similar to the version of mvc1 where 4 people could play. Not a priority but just stuff they were toying with for the future.

I seem to recall it being said they'd be cheaper then Capcoms dlc. I can see where your coming from though. Also, I highly doubt the game is gonna have 20-30 cast members.
The only thing that's blatantly false is the 3v3 matches taking forever. THE SAME EXACT THING happend for Mvc3 when it was still in development. People don't know their bnb's yet, nor how to extensively play.
I meant the Timer seems really slow so if you end up in a run away match it drags on.

Hmmm. I hadn't really thought of that. I haven't seen anyone play run away (zoning, but I haven't seen run away). I don't think run away will be that big a problem in this game because it doesn't have mvc2 style super jumps, and most of the rushdown characters have some pretty safe and strong mix ups.
We'll have to wait and see on that one, but generally I haven't had much of a problem about timers being too long or too short with games in the past.
Also, something I wanted to adress about dlc in that post. This isn't like Capcom where the dlc is already on the disc, and they are just trying to make more money. The release date is drawing near after the delay, and they simply don't have time to draw any more sprites. If they did, the game would be delayed to late 2012 or early 2013. And it's not like this is Capcom we're talking about where they can afford to hire another thousand animators and get it done quicker, they have a budget to work under. I think this kind of dlc plan of "we want to add this stuff, but we don't have time or money to do it now so we'll do it later when we have the time and the money to properly accomplish it rather then rush the content out prematurely or delay the game another ten years" as opposed to the usual "let's just release a bunch of hats and charge people 7 dollars LOL"

Yeah. But having it in a tag team fighter sounds interesting. And I don't see how five bars for 25% health could be over powered in any way. Especially on a 3 man team where 25% would equal like 2 or 3 random hits or one combo.
It's nice though to hear this because they'v been hinting at how there would be characters who would take advantage of dead bodies remaining on screen since that feature was first mentioned, and I was starting to think we wouldn't see something so experimental and unorthodox till post release dlc, but I guess I was wrong.

That does sound more fitting with her character. It would be more interesting than seeing them laying around for the rest of the match.

Fuck Fighterpedia. Shit is horrible and they're not funny at all. They only made two episodes that were only okay, but still doesn't help that the series isn't good at all.
That shitty video aside, I'm waiting on a solid release date. I might buy it out of boredom when it comes out.

I like Mike Z's explanation of the palette/rendering system, seems that they blend everything in realtime so the sprites aren't exactly indexed. Much better than that POS system NGBC 360 used. (They dynamically generated extra shades from a 16 color palette)

They will be adding more through dlc, like Blazblue, though it'll probably be cheaper.
Also, contrary to one argument against the game, they do not intend on making 40+ characters and charging you for them all. Word of god says if they find themselves exceeding a standard roster size and approaching Mvc2 size, they'll just make Skullgirls 2.

Too be fair, I'm thinking that the maid will be the unplayable boss, but will become playable later as dlc.
Apparently, no one was truly cut, they decided on all the characters from the moment they decided on 8 characters for initial release.

Off the top of my head
-Among the many character sketches and ideas you have posted on the internet, how many of them are intended for Skullgirls? And would you be willing to bring characters intended for other projects over into Skullgirls canon by popular demand?
-Is Marin intended to be a Skullgirls character?
-What were some of the inspirations for Double's design? Video game bosses? Horror movies? Lovecraft? H.R Giger?
-What were some of the inspirations for Ms.Fortune? Were there any characters in particular that helped influence her design?
First 2 are probably the most important.
I'll edit or post anything else I think of.

Okay, ask him why he keeps reusing the one eyed thing, and why most characters( and character art) are amputees. Ask him how he feels about people claiming the characters are fetishistic and if he had specific groups in mind when designing some of them.
Ask him to describe each character in three our four words that demonstrate the essential of said characters.
Ask him if, being the lead artist and designer, if there were chars that he was told to include as opposed to chars he wanted to design.

He already wrote like 5 paragraphs on the fanservice. Bringing up more of that stupid bullshit would be beating a dead horse. It would also be a dead give away that the person asking hasn't been following the game.
Ask him if, being the lead artist and designer, if there were chars that he was told to include as opposed to chars he wanted to design.
No need. This has pretty much been answered. ALL the characters in the game were created before Alex and Mike actually got together. They were redesigned slightly, but nothing too big.
I suppose you could ask the basis for which of the 8 characters were included. I believe they were all determined the minute it was decided that 8 would be the limit.
*edit*
ANYONE who thinks that this games characters are the product of true fetishism needs to go look up what a fucking fetish actually is. And while your at it, make note to never play Darkstalkers or watch an anime because that will cause your penis to explode with righteous indignation.

Not if he has 5 paragraphs on his deviant art homepage about it for all to see, as well as ten billion pages of discussion on every single forum in existence.
Also, I don't know what communities you visit, but I haven't heard anything of the sort from any of the many places I'v visited for fighting games. Srk and Dustloop have so much fucking hype (probably helps that most of the people there have already played it) that they could probably make the game a success on their own if they wanted to.
*edit*
Also dead on arrival is still a stupid question. He's the artist, not the designer/director/programmer/marketer.
Ps: the chars are still over designed. I dont even dislike the animation style and I can see that. several of the designs are way too busy, save some like painwheel.
Well that's your opinion mate, and I respect it even if I disagree. But that's not what I was talking about. I'm saying, anyone who thinks there's a single "fetish" in Skullgirls, doesn't know what a fetish is. An anime schoolgirl or a nurse is not a fucking fetish. It's a trope or a cliche. Of course, anything can become a fetish if it's obsessed over, but one character design based on a pretty common trope/cliche does not make an obsession.

Fair enough, but the art deco and film motifs, along with the way she dresses and conducts herself (far too lady like)is definitely modeled after femme fatale style. Black metal chick wouldn't be so polite, and I don't see one wearing a fuzzy sweater or skirt either.
And Painwheel is far more metal.
Also, Krieg is not a black metal reference, but part of a recurring biblical motif in the game. All the living weapons have biblical references for names. Parasoul has Krieg, and her sister has Hungaren. This makes two of the four horsemen of the apocalypse (War and Famine). Fillia's parasite is Samson. Venus has Abbadon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbadon). Squigly has Leviathan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan). There was also a few sketches for an underground ruin stage called Golgotha, but they may have dropped that (though someone from Reverge says they have a final boss stage yet to be revealed).
On the other hand, the more mechanical weapons have mythological references. Painwheel's helicopter blades are called the Buer Drive (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buer_(demon)), as well as being infused with Gae Bolga (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gae_Bolga) parasites. While Peacock is merged with the Argus System (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argus_Panoptes).

Oh, didn't know that. I just saw her and immediately associated the icon and weapon name. No idea that the biblical names were a recurring element for multiple members of the cast, That's why I thought they were metal references and exclusive to Parasoul.

Seeing as how Yoshinori Ono and Daisuke Ishiwatari are both on record as saying they're looking forward to the release of Skullgirls, along with *insert giant laundry list of J Wong and other tournament players who said it was amazingly fun here*. It seems to me the punch line is that your only reason for disliking the game is the art style. But you simply aren't man enough to admit it.

Yeah see this is what I meant on you being overprotective of this shit. You don't see me going "YOU CANT SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUR MAHVEL OR X TEKKEN OR ILL PUT YOU ON BLAST."
So you're saying that if I were to go into the SfXt and Mvc3 threads, AGAIN, and start another 3 pages flame war over those games, that you and others wouldn't say to yourself "wow what a douchebag"?
If so, I'll have to keep in mind that in mind for the future.

I would but it would lead to pages of me shitting on the game and Squire being over defensive about it and somehow bringing Capcom into the picture so i'd rather not.
While I don't mind it when people have a certain opinion, it gets really fucking tiring when they post in a thread just to shit on a certain game on a constant basis. Squire Grooktook is pretty defensive, yes; but he's been rather informative too. Also that doesn't mean you have the excuse to be a douchebag
Personally, I don't mind the art style (Even though, ironically enough, I hate fanservice), and I'll wait until I can actually play the game to judge the gameplay (And a friend is working on the project cleaning animations)

To be fair, my defensiveness is how I am with all the games I enjoy. Whenever I see someone say Marvel 2 is shit, I make sure to tell them they have no idea what they are talking about in no uncertain terms. I would react the same way if someone here were to say that The Binding of Isaac is a bad game.

Oh please, I'm fine with the game outside of the drawing style, which I despise, and lack of impact in the sounds/FX. Heck I'm thinking about buying it for steam nowadays if it gets some little discount (I'm fine with 10%, like Mortal Kombat Kollection did).
Gameplay is fine I guess, I mean I'm not going to ask for a ZOMG revolutionary game everytime a new FG IP appears and all the games share things nowadays. Saying this game is a copy of MVC is like saying Blazblue is the same as Melty Blood just because both have double jumps, air dashes and ABC chains.

Them liking the gameplay has nothing to do with whether or not I like it.
True. But it contradicts your "the game is shit" stance. If you're only concerned about whether you like it, and don't care what the rest of the world thinks (including the guy who made your favorite games apparently), then stop trying to convince the entire world the game is shit when it's obviously not.
Almost everyone who has played the game thinks it's fun.
Random people from srk and dust loop.
Tourney players.
Fgc celebrities.
Actual game designers.
They all think it's fun. If you don't, that's cool. But please stop bitching about it and trying to convince everyone it's shit. Maybe even try to *GASP* respect the opinions of people who like it. Which is what I'v been trying to do with games I don't like as of late.
No it's because you repeat the same shit even though I do argue it so there's no fucking point.
I said the same thing several times because you never answered or responded to it in the first place. Nor did you say anything different. You just left.
Again, the hilarious irony is that your above statement is a perfect descriptor about your own actions
In the Mi thread, You bitched about the art style and then brought up your "gameplay looks like it took stuff from other games" bullshit, and left when I explained the history of innovation in Capcom and Arcsys.
In the tourney watch thread, You bitched about the art style and then brought up your "gameplay looks like it took stuff from other games" bullshit, and left when I rephrased my previous statement.
Every fucking post you make about the game is either about the art style or some bullshit about how it looks like a "mash up". This is the reason I was hoping everyone would just ignore your posts and you wouldn't respond, because it's a waste talking to you. No matter what I say to your stupid arguments, you'll just leave the thread, AND SAY THE EXACT FUCKING THING NEXT TIME LIKE I NEVER RESPONDED. This would be one thing if I or others was hounding you about the game and trying to convince you to buy it. But almost every time, with the exception of the Mvc3 thread, it's you who started talking shit in the first place.
Do you have ANYTHING else you care to say besides the usual bullshit? If so then OUT WITH IT.
It's already happened and quite honestly I don't care because those games have a fair share of problems that i'm fine to admit unlike you are with this game.
Yes, but I only did it once. You'v started arguments about this game on the tournament tracking thread, on the mi thread, almost on the fg cast thread, and now on this thread. You just won't shut up about it. I said my piece about Mvc3 and SfXT and I was done.
Also I love how in this thread you seem to be implying that I "refuse to admit my game is imperfect" when you'v basically started all these arguments by saying it's shit or "a joke" with little or no explanation.
I don't think this game is going to be perfect. I think it's going to be fun. And in the end that's all I care about. I'v followed the game and how it has been designed. And it's exactly the way I'd design a game myself if I were going to make one. It sounds fun, so I'll defend it. Just like I will defend Mvc2, and Mvc1, and Vampire Savior, and all the other great games I enjoy.

Also, for the record. I do regret starting shit in the Mvc3 and SfXT threads. I believe part of that was me just taking out my disappointment/salt/whatever in how mvc3 plays on anyone who would listen.

First, i'd like to state that you can still think a game has shit gameplay even if others think the opposite. Niggas like Flash Metroid and Ricky Ortiz said SFxT was the best shit since CvS2 but it still hated on by many. So your "it's obviously not" thing is opinion, just like my "it's shit" is.
Also, lol at you expecting me to check MI on a regular basis. And the tourney thread, TempesT said to quit arguing about it which is why I stopped, not because I fucking left.
And the only time I started this shit is on MI, and I even warned you guys what I was going to say. Hell, I didn't even fucking argue over there, I just stated my opinion and left. The tourney thread was not started by me IIRC, the FG cast thread was perfectly acceptable because you talk about rosters you like and hate which is what I did. And sorry that when I make one small comment for the first time in this thread that you and SD take it personally while everyone else can write worse shit in other threads and it's largely ignored.
Honestly both you and SD are taking my post way too fucking seriously and was not meant to pan out into this.

That's fine. Just please stop acting like the game is an enormous joke which nobody in their right mind would take seriously. Because a lot of people who know quite a bit about fighters are taking it quite seriously.
Also, lol at you expecting me to check MI on a regular basis. And the tourney thread, TempesT said to quit arguing about it which is why I stopped, not because I fucking left.[/size]
You could have continued through pm's if you actually cared about answering me. My point is, we both apparently didn't have anything more to say. And all your reasons for not liking the game, basically come down to 2 things. That's fine, I'm not gonna try and convince you. Maybe down the road you'll change your mind, but that doesn't concern me.
And the only time I started this shit is on MI, and I even warned you guys what I was going to say. Hell, I didn't even fucking argue over there, I just stated my opinion and left.
Well, you had like 6 or so posts on there. We stopped talking because you didn't respond to the innovation stuff, and as for the art style, we basicly just said "we'll just agree to disagree"
And sorry that when I make one small comment for the first time in this thread that you and SD take it personally while everyone else can write worse shit in other threads and it's largely ignored.
Honestly both you and SD are taking my post way too fucking seriously and was not meant to pan out into this.
When I said Mvc3 was shit (again, I regret it) did I say YOU GUYS ARE TAKING IT TOO SERIOUSLY when I was accused of sucking dick among other things? No. It's only natural that people are gonna get annoyed when you walk into a thread and say something they like is shit.
When people actually like a game, and want it to thrive, they try to defend it as they can when it is attacked. As I said, I would do the same thing for Mvc2 or El Shaddai or The Binding of Isaac or whatever game in whatever genre.

So the game has no move lists for now seems like a simple feature to leave out. http://neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=36112127&postcount=1445
They mentioned this al ong time ago, and had a lot of talk about in on srk.
It's just that they chose to focus on more essential things like bug and balance testing and whatnot. They'll be patching it in so it doesn't even matter.
Honestly, taking ten seconds to google a move list is a thousand times less of a pain in the ass then grinding arcade mode for hidden characters.
Title: Re: New 2D Fighting Game SkullGirls Coming in 2012
Post by: MDD on March 17, 2012, 10:56:01 pm
It's still pretty stupid to leave it out. Damn near every other game has the movelist on the pause screen, but why does this get to be special and not have it?
And this is not me bashing the game. If any fighting game leaves it out it's retarded.
EDIT: Oh it's gonna get patched in. Still should have been in from the get go, but it's fine I guess.

Because it's a teeny tiny company called Reverge Labs that somehow got sponsoring from Konami and doesn't have a gigantic budget like Capcom/Arcsys/Snk.
In fact, I think there's around 12 people working on the game.
Grinding for unlockable characters is still way, way, stupider.
Bug Testing > in game movesets.

Apparently, yes. Programming and installing a whole new sub-menu to the pause menu takes a lot more time then other, simpler hud related stuff. In comparison, the hit stun bars in training mode took like 20 minutes to program.

I just want to rectify something as i won't be posting in this topic again and will do so mostly because some people will be left with a wrong impression; first I said that I would give this game a chance because a lot of people were saying the gameplay was good even though the visual are horrid (for my tastes), i had not even looked at a single gameplay video back then (then again, the visuals are horrible and I could not stand it),but this weekend I decided to stomach it and watch some gameplay videos and the gameplay does not look good at all to me, so yeah, I will be passing on this game not only because of the visuals but because of the gamelpay as well (I am with the impression that everybody who said the gameplay was good did so to be suportive of the game's creators and they did not really think so, this game not makiong it to evo made that impression stronger).

Gameplay looks perfect to me. Lots of mix ups. Creative and well designed move sets. Nice pacing. Lots of creativity.
To be fair, some people think the Mvc1 games look slow, clunky, and boring when picking it up for five seconds or watching one gameplay video. But they are still absolutely amazing in so many ways, and brilliant fighters if you have the brains to not be shallow and appreciate the depth and excitement of the gameplay over the fact that they aren't all flashy and shit like Mvc2/3.
I confess I was like this for a long time. I wouldn't touch the Mvc1 series because I thought they looked boring. That was just me being a fool. When I actually sat down and played X-Men Vs Street Fighter however, my brain exploded.

As someone who has had to write up, amend, modify, feature-creep and otherwise tend to thirty eight movesets over the past few months... no, not really. What it is, though, is time consuming; it's effort that could be better spent elsewhere.

Note: HTML is not a programming language.
I estimate coding in movelist support into their sdk (so the designers can play with it rather than hardcoding various elements) would be 9-13 man hours of coding and testing. The actual design and rolling out of the movelists could take considerably longer depending on how anal the design team really is.

Taking in consideration that they could implement them as being just images overlayed and showing in the pause menu, it would take far less.
They would need scrolling commands, a back and some way to show it during pause.

Anyway, damn, this is the first game in a while that I'm really excited to take into training mode. Just imagine, the freedom of X-Men Vs Street Fighters combo engine but without the infinites. And then you add custom assists and variable team sizes to the mix. The possibilities are endless.

There being nutjobs that defend those games as if they were their life doesnt mean you should have to be that kind of nutjob.

I'm not sure if I'm incredibly angry, or that's just the sauce I just had with my spaghetti. Whatever, I'll humor you guys and talk about Mahvel just to show I wasn't talking out of my ass.
MVC1 and everything prior was basically WOLVERINE WINS besides XvSF where everyone but Charlie was good. :V
Do you even know what you're talking about, or are you pulling shit out of your ass? You know FIVE characters were god tier in Xmvssf. And the top tiers were VERY close behind. Wolverine? Have you fucking seen what Iron Man and Orange Venom can do? What about Chun Li iad pressure, Strider death traps, Gambit infinites, and Mega Man countering plenty of characters despite being mid tier? And fuck man, Charly ISN'T LOW TIER IN XMVSSF. In fact he was high tier in two different tier lists.
Mc2, you're the ignoramous that said Mvc2 was all about execution. You lost the right to be taken seriously opening your mouth up about the game.
I already said a lot about those, in these same threads. I would have preferred a marvel super heroes 2 to a marvel vs capcom 3. I even criticized sfxtekken lack of inclusion of the short movies. I just didnt keep repeating it with my only posts in those threads being the same thing repeated over and over.
There being nutjobs that defend those games as if they were their life doesnt mean you should have to be that kind of nutjob.
I think you can see clear faults with the game, including the number of chars for a three on three fighting mode.
I'm not talking about how bad Mvc3 is. I'm talking about how GOOD the previous games were.
But to be serious now, I merely respond to anything I think is fallacious. Is 8 characters a fault? It's the result of a lack of resources. Would you rather they delayed the game another year? And how do you propose we convince Konami to give them more funding for a game that might not even be a financial success in the first place?
Also considering the custom assists mechanic, the different team sizes, and the fact that Mvc2 lived for years without any of those innovations, I don't think it will be a problem.
To be completely honest, I don't see any true "mistakes" in Sg. When I say mistakes, I'm talking about gameplay mechanics that hinder the meta game. The only thing I see is finite resources and realism. I think X-Men Vs Street Fighter is a perfect game in all but two ways: The infinites, and the inclusion of Akuma and Ken over possible more interesting characters. Remove those two, and I would see no true flaws in that game besides subjective "I don't like it because it's not my kind of thing" arguments.

Ok, so where pray tell are they going to find the money for an animated intro, when they've already spent it all, and have reached the release date? Would you like to personally send it to them and then start a petition for another delay so that we have have an intro better then the one Arcana Heart had?
If they could get BioWare to cave in and make a new ending DLC, I'm sure they can get these guys to make a new intro. Brilliant plan.
Doesn't change the fact that the intro sucked and they definitely could have done better despite their budget. They just got lazy, like when they decided to add the the infinite prevention system.
Also MvC2 was terrible and is really just one big guilty pleasure for everyone that plays it.

Are you seriously comparing FRIGGIN MASS EFFECT to Skullgirls. SERIOUSLY?
And again, they could have done better...If they delayed the game AGAIN (which would have made more people mad) and somehow pulled money out of their asses.
The Ips system is the whole POINT of the combos. It's directly inspired by the way people in the old marvel games banned infinites and only looped the ten thousand infinite combos a few times before changing them into another loop and eventually bringing it into a reset. The funny thing was, it was AMAZINGLY fun. It brought such an exhilarating sense of freedom. It was awesome. The Sg team NEVER decided to add Ips. It was the WHOLE POINT from the beginning.
And Mvc2 is one of the best fighting games ever made. It's smart, and demanding of strategy and strong fundamentals. If you think it's a guilty pleasure you are fooling yourself.

there are presentation flaws with skull girls, most come out of their marketing decisions.
For some examples
They shouldnt have started pulling out initial videos before starting to animate stages.
Their char videos should have had better cutting presentation put into them, the lack of proper cut presentation made it that the non fighting game fans disregarded the game with the first videos.
That intro could have reused the resources they made for the character videos, and not reused art as much, a few pieces with every char "motivation" and some more pacing would increase the build up a lot.
Having all the konami backup also means they cant really keep using the "its just an indie game" thing. For that you might as well consider Scott pilgrim the game to be just an indie game.
You dont really need to explode into their defence everytime, a friend of mine is related to the game development and I dont defend it as strongly as you would do.

It would still require another delay. And no matter how rich Konami is, they aren't going to take chances by pumping money into something that might not even sell. With all the bullshit on the internet about hating the art style, I don't blame them honestly.

The IPS was them playtesting their build one day and finding a million infinites for every character. Then they said, "Fuck it, it's too much work to fix the combo system so it doesn't give a million infinites for everyone" so they added the IPS and said they added it cause they wanted freedom in their combos.

This post might be justified if I was trying to defend the gameplay rather then presentation. And to be fair, I wasn't even defending the presentation so much as excusing it based on realism.
Also I could defend Super Meat Boy but I have my hands full right now. Though The Binding of Isaac is ten billion times better, and I'd rather defend that.

Although, on the other hand. I wasn't defending the intro itself. I was excusing it based on realism. Of course I'd rather have an animated intro, but we can't have everything. To be more accurate would be to say I was defending the game by excusing the intro.

Except the actual combo mechanics weren't broken when people used this method. The only thing broken was Magneto and Storm mix ups and maybe a few other things.
Let me just try to explain it again. This combo methods in those games, was fun. Perhaps THE funnest combo system ever. There is no way to replicate that freedom any other way.
Good thing you're not, actually. (http://www.the-ghetto.org/content/super-meat-boy-review)

Here, Darkflares, here's an example of my point
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDbtc0tTWeA
This is, THE most fun combo I'v ever experienced in a fighting game. Ever. And it worked because I passed up 3 different opportunities for an infinite. I understand it's hard to fathom without playing it yourself. But this kind of game has a sense of freedom and exhilaration that I have never seen anywhere else in the fighting game genre. The very prospect of having a version of this where infinites are not just banned by players but by the system itself, makes me genuinely excited to take into training mode. Pair that with the custom assists, and I'm REALLY excited to see what I can find.

Crossing my fingers for that. 100% combo without triggering IPS? Please Desk, do it.
I'm sure a 100% combo will become possible. Lots of games have 100% combos with full meter and optimal positioning. Especially in 1v3 fights. Seriously, if I have 5 meters, I'v got you in the corner, I have 1 person team vs a 3 man team, and I have max execution, I would be made if I couldn't 100% someone.
And it worked because I passed up 3 different opportunities for an infinite.
Not really helping your case.
You're not listening are you. The way so many people play Xmvssf, is to do just that. They intentionally loop infinite only 2-3 times then move on to the next infinite loop. It was amazingly fun. The only difference is that now the system itself bans the combos, instead of merely players banning you.

Yes but so many people in Xmvssf do this that it hardly matters. Hell, Srk did an entire tier list for the game based on this system.
The reason people stick with this, in Xmvssf, is because it's just so much fun. If somebody says screw it and does an infinite, you can just infinite them back, since the entire cast possesses several or more.
And Sg's combo system eliminates your above flaw, by the system banning it. Not just players as in Marvel.

Not mechanics. I don't care even if the combo system is broken, the move sets and design are just too perfect.
And no, it depends on what kind of 100% it is. Servebot can 100% people in Mvc2. Does that make him broken? No. He and his combos would suck even in a game where everyone else is terribad.
It depends on what kind of 100% it is. Is it viable? Is it realistic? Do you have to build your entire team around it and sacrifice countless other things to do it (like you would with Bb.Hood/Juggernaut teams in Mvc2)? Is the set up viable? What size teams does it work on? Will it work on 1 person teams that have vastly more hp then 3 person teams? I could go on.
Like I said, I expect there to be 100%'s in 1v3 battles and even 2v3 battles. That's perfectly natural. It was perfectly natural and not broken at all in Mvc2 where mid and even low tier characters could create a set up into a dhc that would do 90-100%

No they are not. The combo system is just one of the innovations. The real show stopper, for me, is the move sets and the gameplay in general. Which are perfect in many of the ways old Mahvel was perfect. That alone carries the game. And the custom assists add heavily to the gameplay. In Mvc2, what assist you chose for support could completely alter the way your character plays.
Their are plenty of borked combo systems that are still fun by the way. But honestly, good combos have always been just a bonus for me. They are what you do when you land a hit, it's how you land the hit that REALLY matters. The combo system is only a selling point to me because of how many possibilities it offers in terms of teams, resets, and other such things.

There's nothing new under the sun. But honestly, I'v seen people try and fail to find a good comparison between the games cast and other characters. Ms Fortune for example. Is she Wolverine? Dahlism? Carl Clover? Eddie? Abel? Srk can't seem to decide. Others like Painwheel's relation to Sentinel are more obvious, but they are unique enough that it is not a problem (not to mention fixes many of the problems with the character).
The game is a lot like Xmvssf and the other classic marvels in that the gameplay is very fast paced, but it incorporates classic concepts of risk vs reward, versatile characters with numerous play styles, counters for every strategy, and so on. Despite how broken it is, if you look at a lot of the designs in Marvel (at least, the ones that didn't become out of control broken like Sentinel and Magneto. And even those to some extent), they are almost all incredibly well designed and clever. Except maybe some of the joke tier characters in Mvc2, but even their there is plenty of brilliance.

Also Skullgirls is interesting if you like fast paced fighting games with very strong mix up games yet are still smart and well designed. Also limitless potential for different play styles between players thanks to the combo system, the custom team sizes, and the custom assist system.

Random Topic Derail, but I can see you're another TF2 player, Bro, wanna add me on Steam so we can kick the shit out of some scrubs?
On topic: I myself am not really that into the character designs, but the art style makes them work imo.

As I told you Squire, it's not a game I'd pay for, I mean hell if I got it for free I wouldn't mind so much since y'know...free game!
As I said, I've never really been into the character design, it's just pretty much undead looking girls with huge ass titties I prefer flat chests, big breasts are damn scary!
Offtopic: Although Squire, I did not mean to delete you on Steam as I was clearing my list and did not notice that I clicked your name
I know. That's why I didn't continue to bug you on the subject. I'll re add you once I get on.
Anyway the gameplay is going to get more publicity among the non tournament/event goers once the game is out. So far most of the buzz and hype is thanks to the game being present constantly at numerous events and tournaments over the past year.

Don't worry, if anything, starting out as the boss makes her more likely as a dlc character. Since half the sprites would probably be already done.

me and titiln actually discussed every single design and sort of reviewed them, but we never posted it. Black dahlia is fine, shes a classical super hero old time design. I liked sword puppet separation thing, but I imagine they will focus on the women before any man makes it in.
From the material Ive seen squigly and parasoul sister are likely the first dlc things.

Well then, be glad they aren't taunting you with unplayable versions of them in the form of a boss monster.
It was implied though that the first two dlc characters would be Squigly and Umbrella. Though it was just implied, so who knows (I believe the exact words were "early dlc" take that as you will). Gbk's interview confirms that Marin ain't in ever, though.

Q: Among the many character sketches and ideas you have posted on the internet, how many of them are intended for Skullgirls? And would you be willing to bring characters intended for other projects over into Skullgirls canon by popular demand?
A: Some are intended for Skullgirls. I don’t remember everything I wrote on LiveJournal, but usually if I said it’s for Skullgirls or put in a Skullgirls section, it’d be a potential character. However, there are a lot of non-Skullgirls characters, and the answer about bringing them into the Skullgirls canon would mostly be no. I can’t put all of my eggs into one basket, hehe.
Q: Is Marin intended to be a Skullgirls character?
A: Ah, this question. I’m glad you asked. Marin is not a Skullgirls character.
When Gbk posted this on srk, many players posted registering their dissapointment for Marin not being a possibility. Alex responded
Quote
t's pretty cool to see that there are fans of Marin in general, I hope there would support whatever project Marin ends up being in. She is for a separate idea that has been brewing on the side for some time now.
Actually, I have a handful of ideas aside from Skullgirls that I have to make sure to keep separate from Skullgirls. It's generally better that way.
Even though Panzerfaust ended up transferring, his style ended up as a better fit for Skullgirls. Marin and associated characters have generally a more cyberpunk feel in comparison, and don't fit too well in the Skullgirls setting anyway.
I hope you understand and I apologize for that m(_)m I am flattered that there are fans of Marin, and hopefully that means something involving her would be interesting to see.

Ok first thoughts.
You might not be able to tell watching, but this game is amazingly well paced. It just feels so snappy and tense. And the mix up game is creative as fuck.
Move sets are also phenomenal. Every character has a lot of different play styles and tools.

Take your time.
I like the combo system. It's fluid but it actually has rules and requires execution. It's not like everything combos into everything. You actually have to learn the timing for basic stuff.
Where the game really starts to shine, is when you get the hang of your character and take it into vs mode with a friend. The rushdown is so satisfying, but at the same time it's got defense, and footsies, and whatnot.

After spending some time with the demo, all I can say is that this game is completely living up to my expectations. That is to say, over-designed and under-developed. The hyper-stylization of every single thing feels really overblown, and the game suffers for it. Gameplay isn't bad by any stretch of the imagination, but neither is it particularly compelling. I'll play around with it some more to see if I can find where the fun is hiding, but from where I'm standing Skullgirls is less than impressive.

You have to play it with friends. At first I thought it was merely good, but the game just blew me away the moment I took it out of training mode.
And no, they aren't going to be making Skullgirls 2 for a while. At least, not until all the empty spaces on the character select screen are filled up.

Damn M.Fortune is amazing. Plenty of mix ups, offense and defense, and maneuvering around the head while attacking and defending feels like playing some insane game of chess.
This game is so deep, I feel like I could lock myself in a room with it in training mode for a month and not even scratch the surface.

After sitting down and playing the game for quite some time, I can say with absolute certainty that the stages were put together very poorly and they aren't very good. I am of course referring to the various characters in the background, it's obvious not much effort went into making/placing them. Sometimes there's an issue with the scaling or layering but usually it's just bad. A five frame animation is very noticably choppy when you compare it to the rest of the game.

Peacock seems annoying to fight though.

No, not really. Why I say this is due to the sound of the instruments. But the composition is really nice. I'd like to hear most of the OST covered by jazz groups, that'd be absolutely amazing~ But as it sounds now, it's kinda' like a weird sort of elevator music for the most part. Doesn't change the fact that I absolutely love this game, but needless to say I wouldn't training mode to the OST.
Thank god for custom soundtracks.

Yeah. It's not amazing as fight music. It's more for the atmosphere. I think the different stage theme's fit the stages like a glove, and really set the mood. There aren't many tracks that just rock the fuck out, though.
The best track, in my opinion, is the church theme. It wouldn't feel out of place in the best Castlevania ost's.

Not in terms of gameplay, but just dickering about in training mode. The actual chains are a lot more strict though, and the air combos aren't as universal.

Personally, I didn't feel any kind of Marvel when I was playing around in training mode. Mind you, I was in training mode for almost a good 2 hours, then after that, I just fooled around in arcade mode and did story mode with peacock.
I just don't feel any kind of marvel in it at all. Yeah I understand it got influences from other games, but at the end of the day, Skullgirls just feels like its own game. Throwing out something like "Playing the training mode alone will make it feel like a successor to Mvc1" is false advertisement on your part. :P

Squire, could you please, please stop whiteknighting this game. I mean, I love it, but the way you're going at it reminds me of why I don't like the MLP community: seemingly blind and incessant praise. Don't ruin this.
Also Moo you would call it a successor to the Vs. games if Logan was in it and not Eddie-with-claws. :V
Honestly to me this game feels like it's all that was good about the Vs. series while being different all the same. Nothing new or innovative, but crazy, fun and clean. It kinda' is its own thing. Even if the fuckton of references they get away with are all over the place. (THIS IS TUNA WITH BACON)
I... get a big Vampire vibe from the whole thing, actually. All of it. And that's good.

Squire, I have to agree with Shwa about the whole white knighting thing. Skullgirls is not the best thing since sliced bread. It's an okay game and it was better than I expected to be, but it's not mind blowing. I mean if you like it, then that's cool and that's all that matters, but please don't push it on people, and please don't try to defend every little thing about the game.

Post by: Squire Grooktook on April 12, 2012, 07:59:02 am
To be fair, I was just saying that the game feels a lot like Marvel. I wasn't really defending it from anyone. Plus creators did compare it to Marvel more then any other fighter while in development.
I think the game is really good, but I'm not gonna declare it to be in the pantheon of greatest fighters ever. Yet. I'll wait to see how the game grows and evolves, before I name it my all time favorite or anything like that. Until then it's just a really fun, solid, well designed game that I'll be playing a lot.
*edit*
In fact, just to show I'm not a fanatic, I'll say one complaint I have about the game. I wish it had just a teensy bit more dash momentum. Not really something that matters too much, but it would have been nice.

The game is solid. My only issues with it (Other than the obvious small roster complain) are: The stages, I totally agree with insanius. The fact that meter doesn't carry over between rounds (As if building up meter in this game wasn't difficult enough)

You were constantly talking about it for months. You constantly praising it and saying how Skullgirls was practically going to be the holy grail of fighting games and the greatest shit ever made since Marvel 2 eventually annoyed me to hell and turned me off this game.
That has nothing to do with the fact that you were turned off from the game before we even met. Like I said, you said the ips system turned you off on the first page of the Mi page. Long before I ever posted anything on the internet about the game.
Anyway, yeah, I'v been praising the game on it's first 2 days. Sue me. Obviously I'm not going to keep posting about the game praising it for it's entire life time, other then to say "yeah it's a really fun game" if someone asks me of my opinion on it. If asked to elaborate, I'd explain a bit more why I respect it.
And honestly, I will continue to defend the game if someone says something is wrong with it which I believe to be false. I don't mind people finding subjective faults in the games I like. I understand that for some people, the brokenness of the marvel series might eclipse how good the gameplay is otherwise. But that's not what I would defend. If somebody says something is wrong with the game, that I will object to because, for me something being deliberately wrong with a fighter is a lot more objective. A dragon punch being nonpunishable under all circumstances would be wrong. And although most flaws in fighters are a lot less drastic, many still have them. SO FAR, I have not encountered anything in Skullgirls that is "wrong".
This isn't just for games that I'm a fan of. I don't play Vampire Savior. I respect it. I think it's a good game. But subjectively, it's not my thing. However, if people were to start talking shit about it and saying it was flawed, I would defend the game readily. Because, in my opinion, that game is close to perfection for what it sets out to do.

If you're responding to my response to Darkflares, that's not what I'm talking about. Df is claiming that I'm the sole reason for him not being interested in the game. Even if that were a valid reason for not being interested in a game, he declared he was uninterested in the game before the first post I made on the subject. So bullshit.
And anyway, I didn't expect or say it was going to be the best fighter ever. In fact, I didn't expect it to be better then Mvc2 or Guilty Gear. I expected it to be better then most of the recent fighters, and about on par with the Mvc1 games, if you must know. So far, the game has perfectly met my expectations. But I will wait to see how the game grows and evolves before I decide if it is better or worse then those games.
Also... pushblocks not being covered through the tutorial. How do you think this will affect new players/people unfamiliar with Vampire and the Vs. series? EDIT: And JoJo but who plays that anymore? ;_____;
That's not a gameplay flaw though. I only defend gameplay flaws. Also, while I would never excuse something that was key to competitive gameplay on the grounds of the team not having enough time or money, I would very much excuse something that was not important to it (music/tutorials/bonus modes/ect).

Who said it was? I was just discussing a general issue over potential new entrants who may feel uncomfortable for not knowing about something as vital as pushblocks. Should Reverge add that bit in as an extra chapter in the basic Defense tutorial? Or should they leave it as something people should figure out on their own?

Oh
Well saying that right after what I said made it seem like it was a response.
But yeah, they should add that. Push blocking is important, especially because of how drastically it can effect a lot of mix up. I think they said they might be adding more stuff to the tutorial section, though I'm not sure. They left a lot of stuff to be patched in later. Hopefully they'll get around to it.

Ok. But it's still bullshit. The fact is, all my arguing didn't change your opinion about the game. At all. You were saying you didn't like it because you thought the ips showed laziness back at Mi, before we talked. You were saying that you didn't like it because of the ips when we were talking. And you were still bitching about laziness just two days ago. Nothing I have said has succeeded in altering your opinion on the game one way or the other. And honestly, that's better then actually being turned off of on a game because you don't like one fan. If I have added one more reason for you not to play the game, it's irrelevant because you already made up your mind not to play it because of several reasons long before you met me.
Honestly, if you're so much of a hipster that you'll let praise for a game, any game, discourage you from playing it. Then that's just sad.
No offense, I still love you though.
And one last thing on the subject of excessive praise: I talk this way about all the games I like. Not just fighters, but any game I play that I feel is excellent. Which is often because I tend to be picky with what games I play. I'm an enthusiastic person, and I often do rave to friends about good games I'v recently played. Don't like enthusiasm? Too bad. Have fun on the planet of the hipsters.
Ps: And it's not like I go on raving about the games I enjoy for a month. Praise for the first few days. Big deal.

*sigh* Okay. This is me eating my words.
I've been fooling around with the demo some more, and I've come to realize that this game is actually a decent measure better than my initial impressions led me to believe. Maybe it just took me some time to get used to the system or whatever, I don't know. But I'm enjoying it a lot more now. I still think that a lot of the aesthetic reeks of trying way too hard, but there's a lot more to enjoy here than I initially gave it credit for.
I may end up getting the full game yet, if for no other reason than that I still adore Peacock's design.

If anything, maybe since the mirror match code is linked to a fighting game which is what this is, they figured it would make more sense.

The point is there are ways around it and you're incredibly ignorant for saying you're "waiting for combos to shit on the IPS" as if that proves some kind of invisible point you're trying to make about this game.

You seem to be missing the fact that Desk basically had to micromanage that combo down to the last command to make it work, and that despite the absurd amount of hits he got in he basically ran out of things to add at the end.
Yes, it did a lot of damage, but it's not an infinite. And if he'd messed up and made it into one then the IPS would have allowed for a burst.
You're not making any sense.

That combo was just one meter(ok, two meters but you gain one during the combo).
The code thing could be debatable, not really sure how many people really did know that code.
Actually, you know what. Everything I say about this game is most likely an idiotic remark anyway until I get some proper play time on it, so kindly disregard everything I say for now (Except the pallete 9 thing. That one's true)

I'm fine with all of these except the last one. If only because I'm not quite sure what you're saying. Are you saying the game is unbalanced and that some match ups are too brutal? If so I think one shouldn't jump to conclusions about a game in it's first week. I mean, look at day 1 Iceman in Mvc2 LOL.

I don't know if anyone has seen this yet, but Peacock's item drop has ridiculous variety. There's one drop in particular, however, that I want to know more about. It seems to be a level 3 Drop, where Avery drops down on a steamroller, there's a super flash, and he punches it until it explodes. I managed to get it twice in training mode, but unfortunately I do not own a capture card. After I finished flipping out, It got me thinking about all of her other drops....so, how bout we compile them here?
(P.S. I might be the first person recorded that noticed this, just making a note.)

It's a reference to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and iirc it's been recorded a million times before. Regardless I knew about it before I saw this thread and I don't own the game so, yeah, you're not the first person recorded to notice this, that honor might go to the devs who made the game.
P.S. Skullgirls is dumb

P.S. Skullgirls is dumb [/quote]okay, I can hope though. But I do really like the combos system, it just takes a little getting used to. There is a way to stop infinites, but that doesn't mean you can't have long combos. The system just detects loops is all. once a loop is detected, you hit any button, and the opponent is pushed away from you. The only real problems with the game are the high loading times and the fact that there's no move list, and I guess the two-man rooms seems a little pointless. All in all it's a solid, well rounded fighter on par with the greats. (Except the story ending, that was bullshit.)

Peacock is officially the focus of my team. Now, I need another character which can give her support... Thinking Filia HK Hairball support.
What else can i add?
Double's HK Buttslam assist.

Oh wow, this is a really good assist! I was looking at the hitbox for the buttslam... I can't believe its invincible until the first hit connects with the opponent! :D

I decided to try skull girls out yesterday and i already hate the game. This game really need a rebalanced patch asap. My main is Mrs.Valentine, i hate that she does so little damage compare to everyone else even when you do like a 20 to 30 hit combo it barely takes any damage. People who use Peacock i have now just realize all they do is run away and spam her moves and use assist when they have a team.

Look at dis salty ass nigga. You must suck at Valentine if you can't beat Peacock. You have SO many opportunities to get in from fullscreen. Once Peacock runs out of space she has three blatant things to rely on: shotgun against air pressure, throw and HOPING H.Shadow will cause mixup.
Also lrn2debuffs. Valentine is like really good against Peacock already so you might as well make it worth your while to torture the poor thing.

Can anyone recommend a good setup for a Valentine/Ms. Fortune/Peacock team? I'm pretty rubbish at this, but I figure if I can at least get my team assembled correctly it'd point me in the right direction.

I would add to this stop being lazy and learn another character so you can have a decent team going. It's always going to be a pain getting in on Peacock, if you don't have an assist covering space and locking down.
Also lol at online Peacocks doing random throws as a defensive tactic.

Solo Valentine is pretty good. You must be pretty awful, use the purple poison to maximize damage instead of going for green poison scrubby combos.
Also, WELCOME TO FIGHTING GAMES, you must be new to the concept of zoning characters.

Its actually no point to try to argue or say anything at all about my skills i would be wasting my time. I thought i cleary said i had bought and only played this game since yesterday for like 2 or 3 hours Lol people dont read on this forum. People dont go pro at a game in 2 or 3 hours unless you got no life and do what ever it takes to become that good come on now lets be real here, that will not be me it will never be me i dont care to be the best in a video game i play to have fun its entertainment to me thats all im say if you reply to this you wont get a reply back from me im just letting you know early.
Edit: damn i was just about to eat some fries and yall made me lose my appetite for laughing so hard Lol Oh one more thing i do appreciate the help but i like to learn on my own when trying to use a particular character.

Post by: Squire Grooktook on April 20, 2012, 03:07:42 am
Speaking of zoning, you should also keep in mind that you don't have to be 100% in on a zoner at all times. There's more then one zone in zoning, and your opponent cannot cover them all at the same time. For example, if you're not in immediate attack range, but close enough to punish a wiffed projectile with a jump, then you discourage your opponent from zoning you harder. Above all, be patient. Better to take chip then a full hit. And if you can't get in, then just focus on dodging projectiles and avoiding chip till an opportunity arises.
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: S.D. on April 20, 2012, 03:21:13 am
That's a neat thing about Peacock, she's a zoner but her LV3 is a follow up to her grab so you have to be careful when you're in close range.
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Keku on April 20, 2012, 03:51:57 am
I basically explained all that shit from a Peacock player's perspective, too. I can't use Valentine for shit but I know her potential. And I know for a fact that she builds meter like a motherfucker enough to dish moderate damage every 12 secs. She's like the ultimate rushdown in this bitch; safe normals, awesome pokes, annoying tech, can get in from fucking fullscreen.
Nurse Mai da bes. I wish I could use her but oh well.
Also lol at online Peacocks doing random throws as a defensive tactic.
Online or off, throw after a falling j.HK is always a nice strat as you are kept safe and it gives you time to think. Peacock needs all the space she can get. Even from just a throw break you expect, you can always bait following hits from things like fake teleport. EDIT: Also respect the pie.

Yeah I know, but so many of them just throw out throws without seeming to understand what a throw is for. I think I got like 3 iad hits in a row on a Peacock player because she mashed Throw every time I was close.

Okay, well I'm going to actually commit a weekend to this game now that I finally have a free weekend (Was moving last weekend and before that I was all into my grades.). I'm thinking I'm gonna run Painwheel by herself but I haven't even played with the entire roster yet so I'm going to do some soul searching before I make a decision.

Hey peeps have a question:
Should I buy Skullgirls? I planned on buying some FFXIII-2 DLC....but I am interested in this game....the problem is also I don't have XBL live....
But while I can use the time to practice(mainly want to try out Valentine, I like Ninjas), I have played plenty of fighting games beforehand(namely Blazblue, Street Fighter 4 and a bit of Soul Calibur), and I was wondering how tough mastering this game is compared to those?

Execution is pretty fair. Combo system is kind of like Mvc meets Blazblue in my opinion. There's no really hard links or anything that I know of. All you have to do to combo is not mash and be aware of your inputs. Learning new combos is not so much about breaking your fingers with 1 frame links as it is drilling the many many inputs into your brain. If you can play Blazblue you can play this.
Title: Okay ALMOST everything.

That's quite a good thought to hear as I'm not the greatest at Blazblue, but I knew enough to do basic to intermediate comboes.

The Combos in Skullgirls are extravagant, but as long as you have a good defense against people's tricks (and maybe only use 1 character teams) then basic-intermediate combos are more than enough.

I wouldn't recommend limiting yourself to a 1 person team, though. If you wanna play a solo character or two, cool. But you should start building a team ASAP so you can start learning the dynamics of assists and the multitude of new tools that come with team play.
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Cazaki on April 20, 2012, 10:07:44 pm
Personally I'd like to learn the core of the game with just one rather than throwing assists into the mix early or else I become too dependent on them or become unable to function without them. I think it should build up.

I bought this, and I must say:
+ it feels damn solid + looks pretty damn good + in depth general FG tutorials - there's only 8 characters to choose from
It's like, even if the designs are horrible (I stand by my previous opinions, not really a fan) these guys made a commendable effort to make it accessible and at the same time serious. Will definitely play this more to get the hang of it.

Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Xhominid on April 24, 2012, 01:04:03 am
I bought the game 3 days ago and played it yesterday....
My review is basically like Walt's, except the loading time for the Tutorial seems WAY too long(It felt like 15 seconds for some reason), the font doesn't work well for the tutorial stage(I had problems SEEING what it's supposed to say) and that's pretty much it.
I can hang with 8 characters, the gameplay feels extremely solid(though I had trouble doing the airdash cancel a few times), and the game feels vibrant and colorful despite it's bleak tone.
While I don't have Gold yet, I do plan on practicing when that time does come, but can anyone tell me what are the Valentine basics? And who works well with her? Because I'm still stumped because there's no trial mode to get a grip on what are some good combo tips and stuff are...

Most of her normals do extra hits the more you press them, her standing lp can do 3, her mp can do I think 8 (You only press it twice though), her HP I don't remember, her lp does 1, her mk does around 5 hits (not sure if you just wait or if you need to press it twice) and her HK can be done thrice. Using this, you can combo lp, lp, lp, mp, mp, mk, mk, (Maybe HP, but for the life of me I can't remember it) then HK, HK, HK Special, or if you're fancy you can cancel into a super or replace the HKs with her launcher and start an air combo. It may sound complicated, but that's because I'm bad at explaining things

Holy cripes! Peacock and Parasoul are a very good combination. Peacock will throw everything and the kitchen sink while Parasoul will bring up the rear with her 'Napalm Pillar' assist (which look to have 99% invincibility startup). Oh, and is it just me or a person coming in after the defeat of a partner cannot block on entrance?

Napalm Pillar, like all the assists, has a window of vulnerable start up coming in, but since it's a dp style move, the actual start up once it begins is invulnerable. Also you should give Double's Hornet Bomber a try too with Peacock, has very similar properties, and also acts as a mini projectile of it's own.
Also you can block coming in, it's just that it's still a very bad place to be, since you're in range of a mix up, and hitting buttons is a dangerous gambit.
Also, Roshie, are you on ps3?

• EKG Flatliner only hits the point character, and goes through assists (may or may not stay).
• Cerebella's anti-air grab has larger range.
• HK Hornet Bomber no longer has invincibility and has techable knockdown.
• Peacock's teleport has 3 more frames of recovery.
• Peacock's lvl 3 is easier to input.
• Painwheel's air Blockbuster damage adjusted.
• Double's lvl 3 does less damage and has been sped up.
• Valentine's lvl 3 has been sped up and the animation can be partially skipped by holding a punch button.
• Napalm tears now scaled.
• Fortunes head now goes flying when hit in Noms.
• Excabella input on assist select is less precise.
• Green Vial time goes down on additional hits.
• IPS will now consider standing normals, crouching normals, and command normals to all be the same attack.
• Training mode options are being worked on.
• Assists now take 120% damage rather than the original 106%.
• Tech window for grabs is now increased by 3 frames.
• Tournament mode (disables achievements and returns players to controller select screen on controller unplug as well as resetting controls to default).
• Menu select screen allows you to go to the bottom selection by hitting up.
• Exit game no longer brings you to dashboard (I believe).
• Fixed some crashing bugs.
• Painwheel's Pinion Dash (down, down, K) is being changed to down, K (I believe that's the input) and activates once 4 kicks are input within 36 frames (I think that was the amount), also it's cancellable into some normals.
• Assists will have more mapping options.
• PS3 ranks altered.
• More regions.
• Working on making pause menu not appear as an option in training.
• Lobbies and additional online features will have to wait as the guy responsible for all that is working on the PC port.
There goes any hope of actually getting a match without having to sit through countless opponents declining a match because the ping isn't green or low enough in this patch.

The joytsick motions gray ones are not really intuitive - The arrow is supposed to mean the start of the joystick movement (http://thesaltminedotcom.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/qcf.png) I read this as F, DF, D.
The images in general are too small and hard to read, but I noticed you reduced the size via code, and the native resolution of those images are more than twice that size. (http://thesaltminedotcom.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/lk.png)

Looking at it here it's actually a little harder to notice at full size than it is at 20x20. I guess it's easier to pick up on with half-circles.[img width=20]http://thesaltminedotcom.files.wordpress.com/2011/06/hcf.png[/img]
The pictures are resized firstly to be a closer match to the text size, but also to facilitate the main intent behind my having the movelists in the first place; to be a quick, accessible resource. Compare my pages to that of SRK or Eventhubs; with those, even characters with relatively short movesets need to be scrolled through out of virtue of the massive icons, large headers or thick divisions between entries, but on the Saltmine you can load up the page, scroll down once and see the entire arsenal (or as close to as possible) in the space of one screen. The idea being that someone hitting the lab can glance at their monitor/laptop/iPad and see as much as possible without having to reach over and scroll.
You're both right, though, the LP and LK are a pain in the ass. If you check the URLs on these, you'll see my problem: each image I upload into Wordpress is put into folders sorted by month. I can't replace them without having to manually change each and every instance of LP and LK across every page I've got. That's nearly sixty pages' worth of throws, target combos, strength specific specials and supers, not to mention hellmurder inputs. Replacing the directions would be even more torturous.

Skullgirls Patch Changes
Added New Tournament Mode All colors are available in tournament mode. Sparring mode is not available in tournament mode. Tournament mode starts you off in button check after controller select and before character select so you don’t forget to do it. Unplugging a controller after a match takes you immediately back to controller select. Match options cannot be changed off the default options in tournament mode. Tournament mode will not grant you achievements, so gameplay will not freeze during gameplay.
Global Changes
Infinite prevention system now treats standing normal, crouching normal, and command normal as the same move. (Example, s.LP, s.MP, s.HP, c.LP, s.MP, s.HP previously wouldn’t trigger the iPS late in a combo. Now it will because s.LP and c.LP are both considered “grounded LP” for the purposes of detecting infinites.) This makes combos shorter and makes the game more “resetty”. Hard tags now count toward the IPS. DHCs no longer reset the IPS in some instances. Random situations in which the IPS triggered without actually performing a loop after a one frame link have been fixed. (One frame resets still do trigger the IPS.) The throw tech window has been increased by 3 frames after a grab. (Cerebella’s air command grab is not affected.) Hit-sparks no longer change to pink when comboing an assist character. When comboing a character after death, they become immediately invincible after the infinite prevention system is triggered, ending the combo. Assists now take 20% more damage when hit, up from 6%. DHC freeze glitch has been fixed. Alpha counter bugs have been fixed. Forward techs no longer take priority over backward techs. Redundant achievement freezes have been removed. Fixed an issue where characters would transform into hit-boxes while art was still streaming. Instead, they briefly turn into de-resed versions of their normal art. Mike Z describes it as “looking all eight bit.” Assist inputs are now more lenient. Assists can now be called six frames before you can normally act. LP+HK and LK+HP are now assist 1 commands for pad players. Double jumps no longer cancel their momentum when put into pre-block. Menus now wrap. Online performance has been tweaked to avoid slowdown on bad connections. Glitches involving the game freezing when choosing to change stage have been removed. PS3 matchmaking has been altered. Matchmaking is now more lenient. Only three tiers are available. New regions are available for matchmaking. Save data corruption has been fixed. New training mode options and in-game move-lists are planned. US vs. EU crashes have been fixed.
Cerebella
Excellabella is now easier to input on the custom assist menu. Merry Go-Rilla does the correct ratio of damage as an assist now. Excellabella’s range has been increased. QCB+LP might be added as a secondary motion for her projectile reflect. Glitches involving a snap back hitting an armored move have been fixed. 360 protection now applies to double jumps so you can spin the stick in the middle of a jump in order to throw when you hit the ground. Cerebella’s run throw no longer whiffs on crouching Valentine. Fixed a problem where Cerebella’s run throw would occasionally push back the opponent much further than it was supposed to.
Double
No longer gains meter while Catelite Lives is active. Hornet Bomber H no longer has invincibility on start-up. All versions of Hornet Bomber now cause techable knockdown. (Mike Z made a point several times to say that he personally thinks that the Hornet Bomber changes are unnecessary but he is being forced to make them.) Jumping HP now causes 27 frames of hit-stun down from 37 frames. MK followup and HK have both slowed down by 3 frames each and have slightly less hit-stun Nightmare Legion is 2 frames slower on startup. Nightmare Legion’s animation is faster. Nightmare Legion knocks you in the opposite direction after it completes. Nightmare Legion now causes techable knockdown. Nightmare Legion’s damage has been reduced. Nightmare Legion no longer stops when an opponent dies in the middle of it. Double is no longer invulnerable during Nightmare Legion.
Filia
Air Hair Ball can now be negative edged.
Ms. Fortune
Ms. Fortune’s head flies approximately a screen’s length away from you after OMNOMNOM. This happens both when the move ends and when the opponent is hit out of it. It will always fly in the direction opposite of the nearest corner. Mike Z said another OMNOMNOM change will be made but it is not implemented yet. The last hits of Headless Furserker Purrage now hits all crouching characters. Rekka timing is now more lenient. Bugs involving strange head movement after death have been fixed.
Peacock
Input window for her level 3 is now more lenient Teleport now has three more frames of recovery
Parasoul
Tear explosions now scale correctly based on ratio. Tears now do damage to Marie. Blockstun from tear explosions are now three frames shorter.
Painwheel
Minimum damage on Death Crawl has been tweaked. Painwheel’s tag in no longer starts you at combo stage 1. Spin-Dash’s move input has been changed to hold down, mash kicks. It activates when 4 kick buttons are hit within 35 frames. It can be pianoed. Spin-Dash can be canceled with a punch button. Painwheels forward heavy kick command normal now has a shorter window for followups.
Valentine
Flatliner no longer stops when an opponent is killed in the middle of it Flatliner no longer interacts with assists or Ms. Fortune’s head Level 3 is now faster. The animation of Level 3 can be skipped by holding punch. Green (stun) poison wears off more quickly when the opponent is in hit-stun. Makes it harder to do extended poison combos. Removes many combo options along with IPS change.

Strange that they changed Hornet Bomber and Nightmare legion, when they really weren't a problem. The real problem was cancelling any of Double's moves into that cheap-ass Bandwagon Rushdown. Seriously.

And Cerebella is getting buffed like hell.....
I'm happy and sad...

I don't know how to feel about Hornet Bomber nerfs.
I don't like how people have gotten a part of the game changed ONE MONTH into it's life span through sheer force of WHINING. If I was Mike, I would personally just say fuck the haters and give the game a little bit more time to evolve.
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Xhominid on May 23, 2012, 05:20:33 am
I know what Mike Z was talking about with Hornet Bomber, but for me, it was WAY too free.
I mean, even with the I frames on it gone before the real nerf, it still gave you lots of pushback and good damage if it hit and it comes out quite fast.
Basically, you would HAVE to jump to avoid Bomber, but since it's easy for the opponent to throw it out, it's usually a onesided mix up....
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Squire Grooktook on May 23, 2012, 05:22:51 am
Mike showcased some ways to get past it in his video, like push blocking through it which leads to a free dash in or iad in on the opponent.
It's not that I would object to it being removed it if it were too good. I just think people need to give it time and see how the game grows. People figured out how to PERFECTLY counter some pretty ridiculous stuff in the old Marvel games.

Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Quote
General Changes
Five frame leniency buffer has been added for chains, allowing you to do combos with “marvel timing.” The second player can now config buttons in in training mode and the options menu. Holding down buttons no longer locks inputs in button config. As long as the second player has hit one button in button config, button config won’t close for them when another play chooses “accept”. Air normals and air command normals are now counted as the same move in the iPS. Mike Z said the IPS changes has reduced everyone’s maximum damage output by 1,500-2,000. Mike Z hopes the patch will come out mid-June though the date is not official.
Double
Hornet Bomber causes untechable knockdown again. Hornet Bomber bounces you lower than it used to. It still lets you follow up with a combo but it’s more likely that you will use up your OTG. Hornet Bomber cancel window has been reduced. Double’s first medium kick has been slowed by one frame.
Ms. Fortune
Rekkas can no longer be canceled into head recall
Peacock
Meter gain on GARBAGE DAY has been normalized. Now builds a third of what it used to. Peacock gains a third of the meter she usually would when charging an item drop. Peacock’s teleport now ends closer to the opponent than it used to. Peacock’s teleport is now four frames slower on recovery, but starts up faster.
Cerebella
Cerebella has received an across the board damage nerf. Her basic combos do about 1,500-2,000 damage less. Jumping MP knocks you down further than it used to. j.MP-j.MK no longer works in the corner.
Parasoul
Nothing else has been changed since the last build.
Valentine
Valentine’s jumping hard punch now knocks you higher in the air
Painwheel
The tweak to Buer Thresher’s damage scaling has been returned to normal Painwheel’s new Lightning Legs style pinion dash can be chosen as a custom assist by pressing down and two kicks.
Filia
Trajectory on the first hit of Fenrir Drive has been slightly changed. It can now DHC out of EKG Flatliner. Fenrir Drive has been given slightly more recovery.

I play all the the old Marvel games and have played Marvel 2 for about 2-3 years. So this not news to me.
Second, you misunderstand what I'm saying. Marvel generally isn't balanced (except XvS which is still broken but fairly balanced outside of Storm being god and Bison being bottom...Mvc1 is kinda okay too if I recall). BUT, over the years people have found ways to counter stuff that was LOL WHAT THE FUCK CHEAP BULLSHIT at first.
Iceman is pretty much the poster boy for this, but there's also Dr. Doom and Blackheart being thought top tier early on, and XvS Chun Li super becoming punishable once people figured out how to push block guard cancel it.
And honestly, I don't want fighters to become like Starcraft 2, getting patches every 3 monthes. Let the game grow and evolve.

On the contrary, if a developer can find content as unquestionably non-essential for their game to put a price tag on, and still have it be an attractive enough offer that people will eat it up, I'd say they're a damn good dev. And tributary color schemes are the sort of thing that people are likely to eat up.

No because they are COLORS. They should be free because who fucking charges to change a few numbers just so LOL MY CHARACTER IS BLUE can happen.
Hell, even goddamn Capcom made them free with SFxT. Why can't the "supreme overlord" Mike Z do it for this?

While we don't expect any problems, please note that all patch contents are not final, and are subject to change until the patch has been approved by Microsoft and Sony. Skullgirls: Slightly Different Edition Patch Notes “I have detailed files.” - Cyberdyne Systems Model 101
Non-gameplay changes: - Unlock colors 11-13 for all characters. Enjoy your freebies! - Improvements to online play:
GGPO now rolls back properly instead of slowing down at moderate or high pings, increases playable ping range by quite a bit. Reduce the number of tiers for PS3 matchmaking from 9 to 3, and lower the ‘acceptable match’ threshold so more matches will be found for a given number of players online. Ranked matches online are now blind-pick, meaning you cannot see your opponent’s character choice until after choosing a stage. Add screen flash and notification sound when you find a match. Display opponent’s gamertag during a match. Display opponent’s chosen assist types on character select. Addressed the sound issues. Not all problems are fixed but overall should be much better, especially on item drops.
- Improve loading times on 360. Reorganized the entire filesystem. Hopefully it’s enough! - Add In-Game Move Lists, now you can ignore them instead of just wishing they were there to be ignored. - Rebalanced AI Difficulty. - Added Tournament Mode:
Disables granting of in-match Achievements/Trophies to prevent gameplay hiccups. Forces menu flow of controller select -> button config -> choose characters -> play. Uses default rounds and time settings regardless of current choices in the options menu. Disables Sparring Mode toggle. Allows all non-DLC colors to be used regardless of in-game unlock status. Returns to the controller select screen if 1p or 2p controller is unplugged at the post-match menu. (Does not do this if a controller is unplugged mid-match.) Forces button config whenever both players choose to return to character select. Is part of this complete breakfast.
- Added more Training Mode options:
The Select/Back button can be set to either save/load state, record/playback dummy actions, or do both at once. Easily test any setup with precise positioning every time, at the touch of a button! (Hold the button down to clear the saved state or actions.) The dummy recording can be set to play back as a reversal. This has endless uses...figure out what is safe against Showstopper, learn to deal with reversal Napalm Pillars or opponents mashing LP or throw, etc. Input Display (List / Realtime Stick / Both) Dummy Action (Manual / Crouch / Jump) Blocking (Never / After First Hit / Always / First Hit Only / Random) Block Type (High / Low / All) Pushblock (Never / After Anywhere From 1 to 10 Blocked Hits) Throw Tech (Never / Always / After First Hit / Random) Ground Tech (Never / Forward / Backward / Random) Escape Infinite Combos (Never / After Anywhere From 1 to 10 Burstable Hits) Dummy Playback (Once / Repeat / As Reversal) Dummy Playback Side Correction: Choose whether the dummy recording is treated as relative directions (D,DB,B) or absolute directions (Down,Down-Left,Left) when the dummy changes sides. Useful for testing tech punishes or how to deal with crossups.
- Added Character Tutorials: Each character now has simple tutorials in place to teach the beginning players how to perform all of their Special and Blockbuster attacks, with some helpful tips on their use. (Note: Completing these tutorials is now a requirement for the “Sküllgirls” trophy/achievement.) - Hitboxes displaying when switching characters is replaced by temporarily displaying 8-bit versions of the art, which is much less disruptive to gameplay. - PAL-50 support with correct frameskip on both consoles. - Logos at startup are now skippable on both consoles. - Sparring Mode now saves game state when turned on, and loads it when turned off. Stop the match to check something and resume exactly where you left off! If a new match is started with Sparring Mode already on, the behavior is the same as before. - Black-and-white super background now fades out in 8f instead of 15f, hopefully helps with determining when DHCs are allowed. - Only the player in charge of the menu can press the Cancel button to leave the Controller Select screen for Versus and Tournament mode. - Button config screen now counts mapping the same button or moving the cursor as an action that will keep a player’s screen open when the other player dismisses their screen. - Button config no longer ignores button presses when another button is held. You can go as fast as you want! - Main Menu and Training Mode now have 2-player button config, rather than just first player. - Display chosen assist-type names on character select screen. - In the Tutorials, move inputs are now described with button icons instead of text.
Infinite Prevention System (IPS) changes: - IPS now counts stand and crouch moves as the “same thing”. - IPS now counts all strengths of a given special move as the “same thing”, meaning anything with the same motion but a different strength P or K. This was already true for most characters, so now it is true for everyone. Considering how rare un-chained special moves are, this should not affect very much except specific known instances. - IPS burst-allowed hitsparks no longer show up on anything except the point character. - Tag-in attacks are now covered by IPS. - All tags and DHCs now start you at the correct IPS stage when comboed into. - IPS correctly handles 1-frame links, for example in Parasoul’s {s.LK->s.HP xx LP Tear Shot, s.LK->s.HP, tear explosion, s.LK}, the last s.LK is now correctly flagged by IPS every time. - IPS state no longer continues across zero-frame resets. Each new combo should be completely separate. - Without a jump-in attack, your first ground combo no longer erroneously counts as your jump-in chain. Previously, at the start of a combo the exact same ground chain could be repeated three times, but only twice if preceded by a jump-in. Now, the same chain may only be repeated twice regardless of whether you started with a jump-in.
Gameplay changes: - 3% game speed increase (frameskip interval changed). DOES NOT AFFECT FRAME DATA / RELATIVE MOVEMENT SPEEDS / ANYTHING ELSE RELATIVE TO OTHER CHARACTERS, only player-experienced game speed. - Increase frames-per-timer-second to offset frameskip change, time-outs still take roughly the same amount of real time. Command normals count as the same also, so s.F+HK = cr.HK = s.HK and j.B+LK = j.LK. - Throw tech window increased from 6f -> 10f. Grab Bag tech window is still 4f. - All assist knockdowns that would be red bounces are now green bounces: still completely vulnerable, techable 9f after hitting the floor, vulnerable as normal if not teched. Requires better timing to OTG off random assist hits now - see MvC2. - Add LK+HP as an additional command for Assist 1. Should help pad players. - Add right-stick assist calls: move the right-stick up for Assist 1, move down for Assist 2. More pad-player help. Can be disabled from Button Config screen. - Specifically disallow same-frame throw plus assist-call inputs like LP+LK+MK or LP+LK+MK+HP to prevent 1-button throw+assist macro abuse. - Assist calls are now valid for 5f after the input is entered, similar to MvC2. - Assist character damage taken when hit changed from 6% extra -> 20% extra. - Assist characters are now always shown behind point characters except when grabbing someone, meaning no more invisible mixups behind large assist moves. - Changes to prevent dead body abuse: stop time when the point character is dead; attacker gains zero meter from the act of hitting a dead point character, but dead character still gains meter by being hit; dead point characters become invincible as soon as IPS triggers on them. - 5f input leniency added to chained normals, as well as normals and airdashes from jump/superjump/doublejump startup. You can now hit the next button 5f before your attack connects and it will come out, and you can now press buttons or input an airdash during jump startup and they will come out as if they were input on the first frame of the jump. Does not apply to throws! - Fix assist call priority to prevent lots of weird cases of getting the wrong assist. Simultaneous inputs always win, so HK ~ LK+MP will be A1 and LK ~ HK+MP will be A2. For kara’d inputs, the input performed later will always win if they completed on the same frame, so HK~LK~MP is A1 but LK~HK~MP is A2. And lastly, calls for both are resolved for A2 (LK+MP+HK and LK+HK ~ MP) because they used to be random...but don’t do those. :^P - Correct neutral-to-blocking transitions: changing block directions on the frame you are touched should no longer result in blocking a low attack with stand stance / blocking a high attack with crouch stance. - All characters except Double can now cancel forward dash directly into backdash and backdash directly into forward dash. (Valentine will still get an airdash out of her ground backdash.) - Allow PP backdashing from preblock animation. Previously when the opponent was attacking at close range B,B would backdash but B+PP would result in a normal attack. Now both will correctly backdash. - Bug-to-feature conversion: Bursts now scale damage to 50%, plus count as one hit. ...why might this be necessary? (^.^)
Overall bugfixes: - Player 2 DHCing at the same time as any superflash or DHC from P1 no longer freezes the game. - Allow negative-edge inputs for DHCs. - Snapbacks work properly vs. Cerebella’s Battle Butt. - Fortune’s head will no longer float offscreen when she dies. - Fix unnecessary checking for achievements after they are already granted, preventing a once-per-boot hiccup. - Unranked Online: Player 2 picking “Change Stage” should no longer freeze on Stage Select. - R1 no longer acts as an “OK” button on menus, hopefully allowing some nonstandard controllers to work properly. - Pressing up-back while airborne near an attacking enemy if you have a doublejump remaining will no longer cancel doublejump startup into preblock and cause the character to wrongly fall straight to the ground. - Forward/back jumps no longer override each other, UF~UB will now jump forward and UB~UF will jump backward. Either direction will still override a neutral jump. - Stunt Double (alpha counter) action can no longer be overridden by pressing a button on the frame the character lands. [Whoops.] - Floating “15” will no longer randomly appear after Unranked matches online. - DHCing on the frame before a hit would have made contact will no longer allow the hit to connect after the DHC. ( http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm17841164 is now not possible.) - Ground techs now use newest input if both inputs are entered during the tech window. Tweaked the early/late tech windows to make more sense, previously it was possible to input a tech *very* early and have it count as tech for the 2nd bounce but not for the 1st bounce. - Fixed a bug where the next character could come in attacking backward after death! Conditions - opponent crosses over the corpse and is facing the wrong way, like during a jump, and the character coming in does a reversal attack on the frame they appear. Well...it's fixed! (http://www.twitch.tv/leveluplive/b/319893925?t=2h13m40s ) - Fix bug when airblocking an attack right at ground level which caused the character to land and be vulnerable during hit-stop. Removes possible corner unblockable with Death Crawl. - Assists whiffing through the opponent (for example, an attack during a point character throw, or a throw assist during point-character-induced hitstun) no longer use up your assist call for that combo. - Bursting correctly resets your OTG and stagger status. Previously, baiting and punishing a burst would not grant you a new OTG or allow the opponent to be staggered again if they had been staggered before. - Everyone’s throws now face toward the opponent properly. - Everyone’s airthrow now faces toward the opponent properly during a superjump. ---- Character specific changes ---- Cerebella: - On the Custom Assist screen, F,D,DF,F+LP+LK gives Excellebella rather than Diamond Drop. - Doublejump is also 360-locked, prevents accidental doublejumps when attempting jump-in supers. - Forward dash horizontal movement starts 3f earlier, 14f startup -> 11f. As with all dashes, momentum on attacks still happens even on the first frame. - Range on Excellebella increased slightly horizontally and downward. - Excellebella is no longer supercancellable after the inital 4f, removing the Excellebella xx Showstopper option select. - Tag-in causes small slide rather than regular knockdown. Still not able to combo afterward, but prevents opponent teching a raw tag and either being able to punish her on hit or ending up a full screen away. Still techable/punishable if you have already used up your OTG when you combo into it, so don’t do that. - Air command throw properly faces the opponent. - Merry-Go-Rilla now does correct damage as an assist, rather than half. Assist still scales the followup combo to 50%. - Pummel Horse now hits crouching Valentine. - s.HP/HK, c.MP/MK/HP, j.MP/MK damage lowered by 25 per hit. j.HP damage lowered by 50 (1100 -> 1050). - j.MK hitstun 22f->19f. - Unchained j.MP knocks back slightly less vs air, but when chained into knocks downward much faster. - The “stop” part of run-stop no longer gives meter. - Ground- and air-throw whiffs no longer cancel assist calls, like everyone else. - 360 rotations now allow only 5f between valid directions, the same as every other special. Down from 7f. Helps prevent getting 360s when you meant to do QCT/QCB. Double: - Changes to Hornet Bomber: LK version invincible through first active frame, MK version invincible up to first active frame, HK version not invincible. All versions lose active hitbox during descent so it is easier to hit her out of it later on. Supercancel period on landing shortened from 30f->4f to match most other special moves. Landing hit-stop is still supercancellable, so the change is only noticeable on whiff. - All QCF motions now require the full QCF, instead of just D,DF. - Zero meter gain during Furoboros (cat heads). - Changes to Lv3: Sped up overall; no longer invincible for the entire duration, invincibility now wears off after she turns into Filia; last hit knocks the opponent away from Double; reduced damage to make it more even with other Lv3s; recovery on block slightly longer. - Changes to reduce the ease of hitconfirms: j.HP hitstun reduced by 5f, blockstun unchanged; s.MK(1) hitstun reduced; s.MK(1) and (2), cr.MK, s.HK slowed down by 2f each. - Changes to Lv5: invincibility wears off as soon as you press any button to shoot or create a bomb. Rings do 2f less blockstun and have 2f longer cooldown between them, so full-screen random mashing no longer combos. - Added missing hitboxes below her ground-impact frames so attempting low attacks to OTG won’t randomly whiff underneath her anymore. - Fixed crumple anim to have crouch-hitstun and OTG-hitstun portions line up with everyone else's. Previously they both occurred too early in the animation for certain combos to be possible on her. - Remove 8f of invincibility from the middle of her dash and backdash, total invincibility 13f->5f. - Assist taunt-before-leaving stops being a physical barrier 20f earlier. It mistakenly occupied space during the part where she collapses and disappears. She is still vulnerable to hits for this 20f, but you can run through her properly now.
Filia: - Airball and air Gregor Samson are now possible with negative-edge, and Airball correctly allows assist calls along with the move. - Flatline DHC to Fenrir Drive vs another Filia no longer misses the rest of Fenrir. - Hairball fixes: No longer unsafe on hit vs characters with air supers. Final hit vs. standing opponents properly combos to Gregor Samson vs everybody. - Airball fixes: Recovery shortened, no longer unsafe on hit, still unsafe on block; can airdash-cancel the end on hit or whiff but not on block, and only with a forward dash; will always do the air version of the recovery even if Filia lands during the attack. - j.HP and j.WP hit area extended closer to Filia’s body to prevent SFA3-style whiffs up close. - j.WP given more vertical hit area for the same reason. - j.HP +2f hitstun and knocks back slightly less vs. air. Blockstun unchanged, vs. ground behavior unchanged. - j.HK hitstop on opponent increased by 3f to prevent crossup bug. - s.HP hitbox slightly wider and extends slightly lower, it now combos in many situations where it would miss by one pixel previously (after s.MK on standing Painwheel, etc.) - Ground- and air-throw whiffs no longer cancel assist calls, like everyone else. - Airthrow recovery on whiff shortened to match everyone else’s.
Ms. Fortune: - Headless Furserker Purrage now connects properly vs. crouching Painwheel and Fortune. - A successful level 3 will prevent time-up until it finishes, as with other “cinematic” supers. - During Omnomnom, her head will now fly away from the nearest screen edge when the move ends or is interrupted. - Head recall now plays 9f of the loop even if the button is not held. This prevents it from being able to be used without ever picking up the head, as well as removing a ridiculous meter gain exploit. Rekka->rekka->recall cancel is still possible. - Headless Stunt Double (alpha counter) with s.HP and c.HP no longer plays the head-attached attack, as well as having recovery longer than 1f. - El Gato overhead attack from rekkas sped up. - Headbutt (neutral+HP) and head slides (F/B+HP) damage equalized to 675, and all give meter equivalent to a projectile rather than a physical attack on hit. - Screw Attack (head attack when the head is hit by her own body) damage reduced from 575->500, and gives meter equivalent to a projectile rather than a physical attack on hit.
Painwheel: - Can no longer rev Pinion Dash for an obnoxiously long time after winning a round. - Pinion Dash command changed to hold D+KKKKK...release D, rather than D,D+K. Can press P while revving to cancel. Custom Assist command is D+2K. - MP/HP nail shots correctly face opponent. - Changes to air super: Increase minimum damage to 1100, comparable to other supers; on hit only, recovers to jump state which immediately allows flight for continued pressure and prevents it from being punishable if opponent had already been OTG’d; post-flash invincibility reduced from 45f (!) to 17f. - Death Crawl is now vulnerable to throws. Hit invincibility period unchanged. - F+HK leniency between hits decreased by 3f, now impossible to have it un-combo by delaying too long. - Flying upward is slower if the opponent’s point character is also rising. Her rise speed is unaffected if the opponent is standing or falling. This allows everyone’s jump to have a chance to catch her when she’s at the top of the screen, and allows one flying Painwheel to catch another, but doesn’t affect her gameplay much otherwise. Does not affect first-frame momentum for normals at all.
Parasoul: - Tear explosions correctly scale by ratio and are affected by combo damage scaling. - Explosion hitstun 37->36f, blockstun 19f->14f to prevent certain lockdowns, chip damage 250->150. - Fix issue with some palettes where certain frames incorrectly showed parts of her glasses. - Silent Scope no longer misses crouching Painwheel after MP Tear Shot. - j.HP hitbox extended closer to Parasoul’s body to prevent whiffs up close vs airborne characters. - j.MK +1f hitstun; held-button float moves faster forward/backward and allows another attack immediately when button is released. - j.D+MK->j.MK is now a chain rather than a reverse-beat, meaning your first Stomp->j.MK is valid even though they count as the same move under IPS now. - Lengthen DHC window on Motor Brigade by 8f. - Motor Brigade now drags opponent downward on hit, allowing more of the super to connect more of the time. Hitstop on opponent increased slightly for the same reason. - Remove erroneous 3f invincibility after the hit was already finished on Napalm Pillar. - Blockstun on Napalm Pillar shortened by 1f to prevent strange interaction with Crimson Hunting at max distance. - Parasoul will no longer ground-tech the wrong way if crossed up after a knockdown, for example after being hit by Death Crawl. - Ground- and air-throw whiffs no longer cancel assist calls, like everyone else. - Egret Charge should always cause wallbounce now. Previously it may not have, if the camera were moving too quickly.
Peacock: - Window for inputting QCB+PP for Goodfellows (Lv3) after a successful throw widened. - All special moves correctly face opponent, no more backward gunshots after ground-teching past the opponent. (Oops.) - Slightly reduce meter gain for connecting with Bang shots, HP cannonball, and all Georges. - Overall meter gain reduced to 1/3 while holding a Shadow of Impending Doom. - Redistribute damage for Argus Agony: ~300 lower unscaled damage, same minimum damage (on average, subject to randomness). - Lenny damage 3000->3800, chip 650->800. - Lenny fix: DHC window is the same but it is no longer possible for a DHC to be “too early” and result in the bomb not being created. Placement and explosion timing unchanged. - Teleport now recovers 4f more slowly, starts up 3f faster; still vulnerable for 2f at the start; able to be supercanceled 3f earlier during recovery; fake teleport startup and recovery unchanged. - All Lv1 items will always OTG in the proper direction, towards Peacock. Accomplished by allowing the Jippo bottle to be flipped (oppiJ!). Any Lv2 and Lv3 items which always face the same direction may still knock them the wrong way as OTGs, so be careful. - Argus Agony hitbox extended closer to Peacock, no longer whiffs up close vs standing Painwheel or vs random other close attacks. - LP and MP Bang! hitboxes extended back toward Peacock to prevent them from whiffing up close in certain circumstances. - LP and MP versions of Bang! carry over their specific invincibilities (LP invincible to hits, MP to throws) through the entire active portion, as opposed to just the first active frame. First 2f of both moves are still fully vulnerable. - HP BANG! shots do 33 more chip (300 total -> 400 total, or to look at that differently, at base dmg 48 triple shots to kill by chip -> 36 now, same as Cable’s Viper Beams.) - Item drop chip increase: Lv1 150->200, Lv2 250->300, Lv3 400->500. - Argus Agony small lasers +2f hitstun to prevent certain patterns from allowing the opponent to recover and retaliate. Blockstun unchanged. - Airthrow recovery on hit shortened to prevent low airthrows being punishable by Double.
Valentine: - Lv3 cinematic is skippable by the Valentine player holding any Punch during the fade-out. - Flatline will only hit point characters, never assists/heads/Lenny/etc, and will not kill until the final hit. - Hitting Valentine during her counter stance with her own Lv3 or Mortuary Drop no longer wrongly costs her 4 bars of meter. Only takes the correct 2 bars away. - Hitstun poison (MP) only lasts 2/3 as long when the opponent is in hitstun. Blockstun does not affect the time. - j.HP hitstun reduced by 2f, knocks up 1 pixel higher vs airborne opponents. Prevents an exploit. Still combos into HK Savage Bypass, etc. - Countervenom (Lv2 poison counter) hitbox much taller, will no longer whiff on max height Painwheel j.MP. Can still whiff vs. Parasoul max height sj.HK, be careful. - c.HP blockstun shortened by 6f, “feels” like all other launchers now in terms of punishing it. - Air and ground Savage Bypass recovery shortened. - Fortune is no longer able to move her head during the Prescription freeze; Peacock item drops disappear properly if she is hit by Prescription freeze. - Counter super now properly faces opponent on startup.
Marie: - All attacks now give the opponent meter on hit or block. - Small skulls have energy background, easier to see. - Add Apocalypse-style hitstun. Triggered by taking enough damage quickly, and more easily by supers.
But still no lobbies i guess character specific tutorials are cool. if that to long i can spoiler it.

In an unprecedented revelation from the word of the Skullgirls developers themselves, Reverge Labs last June laid off the entire Skullgirls team from their game development division. Autumn Games, the publisher of the Skullgirls game and the owner of its property, will continue supporting the new team (which is comprised of the old team) that is now titled Lab Zero Games. The reason for the layoff was not given.
As a major effect of this development, the PC version of Skullgirls was delayed and the release of the first DLC character has been indefinitely postponed. A note from LZG's new website is below.
Quote
Not being able to tell anyone about these rather significant developments has almost been as bad as being largely unemployed and unable to continue our work on Skullgirls. We have always strived to be as open and transparent as our business and legal obligations will allow, but we feared news of these events would discourage our fans more than our conspicuous silence would. Being able to finally fill everyone in on everything is a huge relief, and we hope you understand our reasons for keeping quiet until now.
Everyone at Lab Zero would like to thank all of our amazing fans for their patience and support through this ordeal and as we (re)start on this new adventure. And even though this change was largely out of our control, the Skullgirls team still sincerely apologizes for the delays and lack of information in recent months.
We’re doing this for you, and we can’t wait to get back to work!
Until then,
Sincerely, Lab Zero Games

The PC version of Skullgirls has been available for pre-order over on Gamers Gate for quite some time now. They have since added some new information on the release confirming it will use Steamworks instead of Games For Windows Live. This should allow for cross-platform between the PlayStation Network and the PC version on Steam, like other games such as Portal 2.
Skullgirls on PC is set for release sometime in Q1 of 2013 and will cost $14.99 USD. When pre-ordering from Gamers Gate, customers will be given 4 bonus color palettes for Parasoul.

It's kind of old news(especially since the tweet the EH uses as a source was May of last year). Unless something drastic changed overnight, I'm pretty skeptical since that Gamersgate preorder link (as well as that placeholder release date) has been up for a while and the messages from the Devs on whether they're still working on the port at all has been pretty non existent.

But still, it sucks and I would have donated if I could.

Well personally this just makes me question who would actually play ST this year since last time it was there it was strictly Japan for a 16-man invitational qualifier for something else.
At the same time, almost everyone outside Japan has moved on from competitive ST so I am genuinely curious as to who the fuck would have donated $35k in a matter of just a few days.

I doubt Skullgirls will make any notable gains until the last Salty Cupcakes Donation Stream that happens tonight. On the bright side, it means that the evo donation drive has already gone over 100k in total.
Maybe this should go to the tournament thread since this more about the evo lineup than just ST? Posted: February 01, 2013, 09:25:52 am (http://i1094.photobucket.com/albums/i446/lurkersupreme/squigly3_zpsea6d387a.png)
At the end of the Donation Drive,MikeZ showed some of the progress they made on Squiggly before they got laid off last year(no attacks, just movement). Alex and MikeZ said that there were more animations ,but Mike hadn't implemented any of them for the preview.
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Moon Girard on February 01, 2013, 03:21:47 pm
Last night one the Salty Cupcakes stream, some new Skullgirls DLC information was released, including who their first male character will be.
Big Band, has been confirmed as future DLC after the release of Squigly. Details on Big Band, general crowd fund, goals and reward tiers, PC version and more are available over on the SkullHeart forums.
Quote
Big Band:
• Big Band, the gigantic iron lung wearing character from the Lab 8 stage is confirmed as the first Male Character stretch goal after Squigly.
• He will be a charge character with anti-air and command grabs.
• It was previously mentioned that MikeZ wanted to make Big Band play like Q from Street Fighter 3 Third Strike, "but good".
• He will be called サックスでか (Sax-Deka) in Japan. Deka is both a slang term for someone who is extremely tall and also for a police officer/detective. So his name is basically "Sax Detective". Peter Bartholow mentioned previously that this name was what Japanese fans started calling him before the game was released there and is thus a nod to them, and a nod to characters in fighting games having different names in different regions.
• If you select Big Band in a fight he won't appear in the backdrop for Lab 8.

If the 150k calculation is valid, KOF XII with its 22 characters had development costs of over 4-5 Millions. Didn't thought development costs would be so high
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: LurkerSupreme on February 26, 2013, 11:06:23 pm
You have to keep in mind that for a Skullgirls character who is about 1/3 of the way through production,while the staff takes pay cuts. The average cost for each character is in the range of 250K and ...I don't feel like finishing this thought. It feels like I've been indoctrinated. I just really want to know the cost to develop each character for other fighting games to compare it without the numbers being off the record.
I'm also wondering why they have to contract hitboxes too.
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: S.D. on February 26, 2013, 11:20:47 pm
KOFXII characters have less frames (Only 4 basic buttons and a super limited move set) and the sprites are smaller so the cleaning work is nowhere near as time consuming as in Skullgirls (Also they used CG to trace over the animations, Skullgirls only does that for Painwheel's weapon)
Title: Re: Skullgirls

Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: LurkerSupreme on February 28, 2013, 12:13:48 am
New info has been posted about Big Band on their front page.
Quote
Ben Birdland has seen a lot in his time, including the worst of the Grand War. But nothing was worse than what he saw as a beat cop in New Meridian. When he ran afoul of his crooked unit he was given a violent early retirement, and his broken body was left to spend the rest of its days in an iron lung.
That would have been the end of Ben’s story if it hadn't drawn the ears of the Anti-Skullgirl Labs. With little left to lose, he agreed to be rebuilt with their experimental procedures. Melded with the machinery that allows him to breathe and a powerful an array of pneumatic weaponry, he was reborn as “Big Band.”
Now a senior member of Lab 8, he’s become a father figure of sort to the younger ASG soldiers. A firm believer in their cause, he has stayed with the project through its controversies and still sees his place on the front lines against the Skullgirl. His technology may be dated, but he more than makes up for it with experience and fortissimo.
We’re preparing to start work on Big Band, but here’s what we can tell you about him so far.
Big Band’s massive mechanical body is heavily armed with pneumatic weapons capable of generating powerful blasts of pressurized air. As his name implies, woodwinds, brass and percussion instruments are his forte, so expect him to produce variously-sized horns, flutes and drums for his attacks. Defensively, you can expect him to make good use of that dusty coat.
For example, he might open his coat to fire a barrage of mute missiles from trumpet cannons, or do an elbow drop using a giant saxophone. We’d also like to experiment with the idea of making his combos musical, perhaps sounding like improvisational jazz as you chain his attacks together.
We’ll begin concepting out some of Big Band’s attacks soon, and will be sharing progress with everyone as he develops!

We’e added more Patron Saints, so naturally people are wondering… where are all of new NPCs going to hang out?
The response has bee so overwhelming, we’re adding a second “Bonus” stage, the ballroom tentatively known as “The Glass Canopy.”
Check out the early concept of the stage here, and let’s fill it up!
Also, they've been getting about 20K a day. At this rate, the 3rd character might be a reality. Giving Mane6 the engine is still a bit out there. Posted: March 25, 2013, 07:34:42 am http://www.labzerogames.com/3rdcharacter/

Post by: Moon Girard on March 25, 2013, 05:17:00 pm
Isaac is an archaeologist who has made unsettling discoveries below the Canopy Kingdom, only to have the evidence buried. Now hunted, Isaac has been literally buying time using shards of a unique type of Theonite he discovered in his search. The one other person who knows about the dig has been wrongfully imprisoned, but learning the truth would put her in greater danger.
Playstyle Speculation Isaac’s time travel mechanics aren’t your standard slow/stop fare. For example, a double of Isaac could instantly appear from the future for a lunging punch, and a countdown begins above Isaac’s head. When the countdown reaches zero, Isaac pauses and prepares to travel back in time to deliver the punch. If he is hit during the preparation, the opponent regains any damage they took from the punch since it never happened. If his double is hit during the punch, Isaac himself takes damage when the countdown reaches zero.
Isaac may also have other time related attacks, such as the ability to convert successful special attacks into supers in the past after noticing they connected. He could possibly manipulate the timer, namely knocking off a few seconds to hasten that time-out.
Gameplay Inspiration Doc Brown (Back to the Future series), Professor Badass (Kevin Stewart), Indiana Jones (Indiana Jones series), Neinhalt Sieger (Samurai Shodown series), Iron Man (Marvel vs. Capcom series), Dio Brando (Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure), Sakuya (Tohou series), Makoto (Street Fighter III: Third Strike), one-frame DHCs (Marvel vs. Capcom 2), Shadow (One Must Fall 2097)

Brain Drain, Ottomo and Eliza are probably my favorites, however Eliza's is specifically because of character design instead of how she's supposed to play, which is bad I guess. Brain Drain is probably my favorite character design and his gameplay isn't so bad, but Ottomo's probably my favorite in terms of both gameplay and design.

Spent the afternoon trying to get decent at Peacock. She's way more complex than Filia (who I'd been practicing as for the weekend), but I love her design and her concept way too much not to use her. She's quite brilliant.
On a slightly different note, I've been going through story mode at a decent clip. I'd honestly be all in for a crowd-funding campaign to fluff it out a bit. Well, you're likely to get three more character side-stories from the campaign.
The whole canon story is another matter, though... we'd probably need to overshoot the third character's story mode by quite a bit to make all of that work, because it's going to be a LOT of new writing and art. (http://67.227.255.239/forum/showpost.php?p=51373374&postcount=4299)

The Black Egret sniper is so rarely seen or heard, any description of her is considered a wild rumor. The few who spot her doubt their eyes long enough to be caught in the scope of her “talking” gun, Gorgon 13. Will the current conflict bring her out in the open?
Playstyle Speculation Take the shot!
Juju’s powerful sniper rifle is integrated in her play style for single, powerful, tricky shots. She can pull off complicated ricochet shots and would be able to load her gun with different kinds of ammo for special hits. It would be ideal to reward a sense of accuracy to these deadly attacks, perhaps similar to the Clean Hits in Guilty Gear. There could be some sort of targeting, trip-wire, and/or aiming mechanism involved in some of her moves.
Parasoul could return the favor here, offering literal cover fire in the form of napalm tears raining down from off screen. Juju could fire at these planted napalm tears, causing an intense, fiery chain reaction.
The size of her rifle would let it double as a staff for far-reaching melee attacks. She would also have the traditional arsenal of military weapons on hand for close range combat, such as grenades, a handgun, and a combat knife.
Gameplay Inspiration Hol Horse (Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure), Sharon (Street Fighter EX), Saki (Tatsunoko vs. Capcom), Cable (Marvel vs. Capcom 2), Yoshi (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island), Ran Hibiki (Rival Schools: Project Justice), Naoto (Persona 4: Ultimate), Jagi (Hokuto no Ken), Mu-12 (BlazBlue), Nanase (Street Fighter EX series), Rolento (Street Fighter Alpha series), Sol Badguy (Guilty Gear Accent Core)

They could have done that but they have done so much during the crowd funding campaign and exceed expectations! They even impressed IGG for them to extend it!
Why is simple. His explanation was well placed. This really was a "we're broke and really need help" kind of deal, but extending it would be a "give us more money and we give you even more content!" move. It's an honorable move, it's the stuff that seperates them from garbage like Capcom.

Here is an extremely tentative schedule for the reward distribution: - By 4/31/2013: Wallpapers, Digital OST, Digital Sketchbook, Digital Art Compendium, Half Minute Hero Codes - By 6/31/2013: Steam Beta Codes - By 7/31/2013: T-Shirt, Poster, Postcards, Physical OST
All custom rewards will take longer to resolve, but we’ll be in touch soon to start working on those with everyone individually.
Quote
We’ll be moving forward on the character voting soon. The vote will be conducted in four rounds, lasting roughly a week each: - Round 1: All characters, 4 votes - Round 2: Top 16 characters, 3 votes - Round 3: Top 8 characters, 2 votes - Round 4: Top 4 characters, 1 vote
Since we will be voting on two characters, each will have its own voting process, so the two campaigns don’t interfere with the other.
Also, this will be a blind vote – there will not be any interim updates provided within each round.
For each round, you will receive an e-mail with a voting link Any votes that we deem suspicious will be rejected
So read up on the characters, start campaigning for your choices, and keep an eye on your e-mail!
The rewards and PC version seem so far away. And this happened(contains Gurren Lagann spoilers) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zMxaMT0su4)

Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Cazaki on April 02, 2013, 02:33:02 am
It's not sad at all. I think pretty much everyone who likes this game wants more dudes in it. I hope if there's a sequel though, it's not called Skullgirls 2, cuz that title can be misleading to those who don't do some researching. xD
Anyway, I voted Panzerfaust, Brain Drain, Beowulf and Annie

So Feng is just bang... in that case Beowulf, Braindrain or Panzerfaust hopefully make it in. I know a couple of people who voted for terrible characters like Aeon, Marie and Eliza, because "They sound like boss/OP characters and that fits my playstyle" ugh.

Sadly I know more than a couple who went that way, especially for Aeon. I think the savestate thing is reaching a little too far. That said I'd like to see Eliza because the playstyle description outside of the blood gimmick reminded me of a heavier-set Litchi. That and the idea of an Egyptian themed jazz lounge stage struck a chord with me.
Fairly confident Beowulf's going to make it, though, glad for that. Scythana might need a bit of a push to make it to the Top 8, though.

I'm cool with all of these characters except I would much rather have Brain Drain instead of Aeon. If Beowulf/Panzerfaust can come out on top that would be best for me but I know that it's really just between Stanley, Annie and Minette (Even though I hate her)

^ Pretty much the characters that have a gameplay demo of their mechanics shown or have been promised to have certain features that people find appealing are the ones that are most popular. Only in a couple of cases is it mostly just design (Stanley, Panzerfaust, Eliza, Minette)

Ravidrath said:
Just said this in IRC, but...
Places 2-5 were practically tied in this round. All fell within 50 votes of each other.
A lot of the vote thus far has gone this way, so you shouldn't give up on your favorite characters just because they were eliminated early, etc.
I knew it! There's still hope for Andy Anvil to win the next poll!
I 'm also really surprised Aeon made that far over Feng and Scythana.
In all honesty, I don't expect her to win, but I'm really happy Aeon made it this far. I've wanted to see her playable ever since completing Double's story.
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Keku on April 14, 2013, 11:15:11 pm
Mike Z is really excited about making her and she's probably his second favourite character out of the top 8
She's just a zookeeper that can level up. What is exciting about that?
what do you mean by zookeeper? I thought she was described as a maid? The whole concept of "clumsy maid" sounds too animu for me, but the gameplay seems more interesting than some. She seems to be able to level up like Phoenix wright , by collecting stuff from helpers she can summon to interfere with the opponent and then hit with a special move..
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: SNT on April 14, 2013, 11:22:59 pm
Didn't expect Eliza to stay around this long. Did expect Scythana to at least make Top 8 though...
IIRC Peter said Eliza has a pretty big following or something like that, it also seems like a lot of people expect her to make the top 4.

Yeah I thought Stanley would stay in it, even though I don't really like him. I'm disappointed that we can't atleast have Faust or Beowulf. The game does need more grapplers/big guys, but I guess I figured that people wouldn't pick based on needs.
I hope Eliza or Annie wins now, but I prefer Annie.

Yeah, I was kinda expecting something like that right before it was announced, since she really didn't seem to have any other abilities.
Although I do wonder why people like Aeon; her design is just as, if not even goofier than anyone else's. It's like giving someone the ability to control bowling pins, so they plaster a bowling pin into both of their eye-sockets.

They think he's the joke character? At least the playstyle for Stanley would be based on actual legitimate characters. Minette is like every weak ass joke character (save for Dan because Dan is awesome at what he does and wouldn't stain his name with this character) rolled into one.

Post by: rukifellth on April 23, 2013, 10:51:10 pm
HP Lovecraft and his Cthulhu Mythos have inspired many, and Skullgirls is one of them! The entirety of Little Innsmouth is one massive tribute to the fishiest town in horror stories, and it's people are a wonderfully fascinating bunch of characters!
It's no less than right for the town to have it's own representative in Skullgirls, and Minette, the waitress, is the prime candidate for the job!
Despite being the daughter of the River King himself, Minette has quite a humble job as a waitress in Yu Wan's restaurant. Despite the cozy job, she has to tend with quite a nasty bunch of bad guests, be it mafia members, or purely racist morons. Despite this, she keeps making her customers happy, even giving away food to passers-by. Just be careful with the tip...
So what are you waiting for? Let your inner fish speak to you and give her the spot she deserves over that Cleopatra and Sailor Moon wannabes!

Please let it be Annie or Eliza that wins this. Aeon's save state bullshit will be reduced to an unusable gimmick to balance it for playable build, and Minette's going to be a brain dead zookeeper the likes of which we haven't seen since Omega Tom Hanks, with a tacked on level up gimmick.

I know two colleagues who don't even play fighting games but are fans or the art style, or the story (I don't even know) and that's precisely the reason why they voted for her. That and she was featured in one of the endings I guess? (Nothing wrong with that) But one specifically mentioned liking boss characters, so...

Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Moon Girard on April 25, 2013, 05:08:33 am
As a guy who voted for Aeon every round except for this one i voted her because i was interested in her ability to summon figures from the past, future and alternate timeline version of characters. Yea I'm a idiot but i also keep voting for her because i never thought she'd be a threat to Eliza chances of winning.

FYI, the post is redacted because Eventscrubs are idiots. Mike Z said that over a month ago, well before the voting started. On following streams, he corrected himself saying they had more of a chance to brainstorm playstyles, so no one had to feel bad about picking the character they wanted.
So pick whoever the fuck you want. I know I did.

This is kinda sad. I mean I knew that there was no gaurantee that the characters I wanted would be in, but I still threw in a few bucks anyway. The fact that people may do the whole take their ball and go home schtick is dumb. Even for the people that did big contributions, they should know that sometimes that's how it goes.

Couldn't they, y'know, change her name? I mean the original idea for Juju's character was some supposedly retarded suggestion from a guy who was in the team and they barely wanted to go with it at all.
It got a redesign, suddenly someone's not happy, and bam she's erased? That's not cool.

I don't get the want for Juju sure she has a nice design but she's a sniper for Christ sake being in close combat is completely opposite to her character, unless she got a gameplay description somewhere that i missed there's like no info on her other then being a sniper.

She had a gameplay description before since she was in the 3rd Character list. She was basically Saki from TVC, so keepaway.
And I like keepaway when done right.

Ah that makes sense then guess they removed it before i saw it, Man i keep forgetting Saki was even in TvC now i see how Juju would work and the appeal there.

Quote
The Black Egret sniper is so rarely seen or heard, any description of her is considered a wild rumor. The few who spot her doubt their eyes long enough to be caught in the scope of her “talking” gun, Gorgon 13. Will the current conflict bring her out in the open?
Playstyle Speculation Take the shot! Juju’s powerful sniper rifle is integrated in her play style for single, powerful, tricky shots. She can pull off complicated ricochet shots and would be able to load her gun with different kinds of ammo for special hits. It would be ideal to reward a sense of accuracy to these deadly attacks, perhaps similar to the Clean Hits in Guilty Gear. There could be some sort of targeting, trip-wire, and/or aiming mechanism involved in some of her moves. Parasoul could return the favor here, offering literal cover fire in the form of napalm tears raining down from off screen. Juju could fire at these planted napalm tears, causing an intense, fiery chain reaction. The size of her rifle would let it double as a staff for far-reaching melee attacks. She would also have the traditional arsenal of military weapons on hand for close range combat, such as grenades, a handgun, and a combat knife.
Gameplay Inspiration Hol Horse (Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure), Sharon (Street Fighter EX), Saki (Tatsunoko vs. Capcom), Cable (Marvel vs. Capcom 2), Yoshi (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island), Ran Hibiki (Rival Schools: Project Justice), Naoto (Persona 4: Ultimate), Jagi (Hokuto no Ken), Mu-12 (BlazBlue), Nanase (Street Fighter EX series), Rolento (Street Fighter Alpha series), Sol Badguy (Guilty Gear Accent Core)
She definitely sounds interesting.

Post by: LurkerSupreme on May 08, 2013, 01:19:20 am
This message comes in a bit late, since the first round of voting for the second character has already started, but it’s still probably relevant enough~
Some brainstorming concept attack doodles for some of the candidates. A bunch of these concepts were from a while ago, while others are fairly recent. Also keep in mind that the concepts in here are by no means the official attacks of the character, but mostly to give you an idea of what they might look like, or what kind of style they may posses This is sort of the first step for our process when it comes to thinking of character attacks.
Top image is Black Dahlia, followed by some Venus concepts. Then we have some Marie attacks, and actually a drawing I found while digging around my archives of Marie’s boss concept drawn out. The image of Marie’s actual boss form is accompanied by the approximate average size of a full-blooded Gigan, if one were present in-game.
After that are a series of Umbrella images- the first batch are some very old archives, and the second batch are still a bit old, but relatively recent.
The last image is something cool I found in the archives as well; a drawing by the one and only Ryusuke Hamamoto. The guy is *REALLY* cool, I must say. He’s been to quite a lot of US cons. I’ve seen him at SDCC a handful of times. As you can see, he drew this Umbrella for me at SDCC, way back in 2007. I hope he’s cool that I’m posting this up here @3@/
Anyway, a mix of of a glimpse at SG past + a peek at the future, one could say.
More character concepts coming up in the future, time permitting (working on the actual game content during the day, of course)
I’m excited to get working on Eliza concepts in the future too. Been thinking about that a lot lately as well~
Have fun at the polls, y’all @A@ Vote!
Umbrella looks so cool in these man.
Title: Re: Skullgirls

Anyway, here’s also some Ileum, I figure she could use some love + she’s actually really fun to draw / think of stuff for. http://24.media.tumblr.com/75a64d37955459bff89f93e7a3552cf3/tumblr_mmjzhaOR5Z1s4c693o2_500.png

Edit: Oh, and just in case it’s not clear- these are concepts from the brainstorming phase. That means that these are not guaranteed moves or necessarily 100% indicative of the character, but it does give you a good taste of the character’s flavor/style. (heartburn, in Ileum’s case)
Super cut-ins are looking better as well

Juju's creator broke the NDA (Non-disclosure agreement) by announcing on Skullheart that he and Lab Zero came to an agreement and Juju was made an official character. He talked about something that was not supposed to reach people that weren't him or the employees of Lab Zero Games. Since he broke that agreement, LZG axed the character.

@Loco Nachoz: Ah, okay. That makes sense I guess. I thought he pulled her again because of the thread and was mighty confused. Though LZ must not have wanted the character that bad if this simple thread made them end it. Then again looking at how he was acting I'd have looked for any reason not to associate with him as well.
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Keku on May 27, 2013, 01:20:28 am
The guys expressed they would've wanted to work on Juju but there were complications with the original "creator" whose only contribution to the current design of the character that remained was the name. And he caused a shitfit about it that lasted quite some time, so big that it caused her to be removed from the 3rd Character page.

Damn shame the character can't even be a background character at this point, and the Hol Horse style gameplay intrigued me.
Wonder if they'd be able to like what they did with Umineko's Jessica Ushiromiya, who cosplays as Touhou's Marisa in the VN/anime/fighting game (http://i.imgur.com/ffm6u35.png), but has this fucking thing (http://i.imgur.com/gUNGlhX.png) for the PS3 port of the VN and the XBOX360 port of Ougon. Although I imagine there's so much bad blood over this thing that it would just be bittersweet if she was brought back in any form at all.

That's just your opinion, just like my opinion is that I love the cast of characters (except maybe Double). I just sat down for a while with the game last night, and I realized how much love was put into the initial eight characters, and I found that I enjoyed playing as all of them equally (except maybe Double).

LOL'ed at Squigly's story mode. I was trying to use Artmoney to see what happens if you actually beat Marie, but I guess I have to be offline to get it to work (ie: when I was messing with Poker Night 2).
I should add that Squigly is fun to play as, although I haven't been able to test her in a match proper yet.
Also found a few non-fight bugs, like crashing the game by watching the credits from the Extras menu.

1. Is there some way I can buy it on Steam WITHOUT a Credit Card? Like a Pre-Paid card?
2. You believe a low rig computer can run the game? Because mine isn't a gaming rig, but it can run quite a few 3D games and has a good connection.

EDIT: also the beta update before last changed one of Squigly's colors for the flowers in one of her supers, and it shared colors with the paper color they use for the unfinished sprites, so now when she does an attack with unfinished frames, she turns Hulk Green.

I've seen people get higher combos with CEREBELLA of all characters, and she doesn't even have Stance Cancelling!
But yeah, Squigly's combo potential is ridiculously high, with the averages being around 60+ hits in one combo (some can get 90+), so I'm still on the lower end (although since that vid upload, I've gotten up to 53 hits now, so I'm getting there!).

Los Angeles, CA – August 1st, 2013 – Marvelous AQL, Autumn Games and Lab Zero Games will be holding an online tournament for the PC version of their critically-acclaimed 2D fighting game, Skullgirls.
The top 20 tournament winners will receive prizes with a combined worth of over $2000, to be announced at a later date.
The beta version of Skullgirls has a number of changes and improvements over the current console version, including improved balance and the inclusion of the first DLC character, Squigly. Like its console counterparts, the PC version of Skullgirls’ online play is powered by the rock-solid, lag-free GGPO networking library.
To obtain a Steam code for the beta, one must pre-order the game at any of the participating digital stores, or get a code from a participating media partner.
Media Partners CheapAssGamer, Destructoid, Polygon, Shacknews, Siliconera
Codes distributed by media partners are restricted-use codes, but will offer full access to the game’s multiplayer modes until the game’s official release on August 22nd. Beta codes received from Lab Zero Games’ wildly successful Indiegogo campaign or pre-orders will never expire, letting players test new changes and characters before their official release.
Once a player has access to the beta, to enter the tournament players simply need to register at the following URL:
Sign up to receive Skullgirls news at http://www.skullgirls.com, become a fan on Facebook or follow @Skullgirls on Twitter for game updates, giveaways, exclusive artwork, and more. Skullgirls is rated T for teen by the ESRB. Visit www.esrb.org for rating information.
Also for anyone who still hasn't got the game Siliconera has been posting free Stream beta codes today and yesterday and they apparently have some more so if you wanna get the game for free you might wanna lurk Siliconera for a bit http://www.siliconera.com/tag/skullgirls/
I've seen people get higher combos with CEREBELLA of all characters, and she doesn't even have Stance Cancelling!
But yeah, Squigly's combo potential is ridiculously high, with the averages being around 60+ hits in one combo (some can get 90+), so I'm still on the lower end (although since that vid upload, I've gotten up to 53 hits now, so I'm getting there!).
Damn i think the highest i get with my Cerebella is like 30 hits i'm slacking though i do play her solo so i rely on her high damage from grabs a lot been thinking of adding another character to my team and getting better but no idea on who to add.
Yeah as I've been playing a lot more recently I've noticed this she seems like she's a great character all around to bad her stance canceling is to complicated for my taste.

Gonna keep an eye out on that site to grab a beta key until I get paid. How long did they say till the consoles get the new updates and characters? God, i hope it isn't nearly as long as before with the 360 version.

Does anyone know when the DLC characters will start coming to consoles? Will they release simultaneously for PS3 and X360? How long between releases?
No one knows, not even us.
As soon as all the DLC content is complete and tested, we'll submit it to Sony and Microsoft. When it's out depends on how well those submissions go.
And we're going to hold back the story mode and stage on the PC version until the console patches are out, just to avoid spoilers. But Squigly will be playable on the PC version at launch.
Good news for Lobbies though (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=74254519&postcount=6044)

Yeah, lobbies will be in the release version.
They're currently in testing right now, and we hope to have them in the beta early next week.

If I recall what they said on the Indiegogo, they were gonna release the characters one-by-one, so once they finalize Squigly and the new Infinite Prevention System, they should be in the clear. Posted: August 03, 2013, 12:42:07 pm Also registered for the PC tournament.

he probably thought you meant turning those backdrop chars into playable ones.
Is it only me that sees a waste opportunity with the basic designs? All the females so far basically had the same build, they could have gone for tall and muscled heavy character and other archetypes usually not done with females instead of everyone having big tits and hips. Even the backdrop male characters are more body varied than the females. SEXISM.

Post by: Mechy on August 07, 2013, 11:03:07 am
YEAH SERIOUSLY.
It's a bit odd actually since the character designs have a great amount of variety in everything but their base body build. Where's my thick, tall and muscular chicks skullgirls?

Post by: CapnWTF on August 07, 2013, 07:55:12 pm
These are other people's characters, so while they probably had some creative freedom, they still had to go with the design of whoever made them. If they all had similar builds (which I don't see btw) it's because all of the people who made them designed them with similar builds. Oh, and is there any update on Big Band Ben?

Just an heads-up...
Just got more of the limited-access beta codes from Valve, and will be distributing these to all IGG backers.
These are basically intended to be "buddy codes" to share with friends, but you're free to dole them out however you like. But try to give them to people you think will buy the game. ;P
Like the codes from the media sites, these will cease to function on August 22nd. (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=75242947&postcount=6402)

I just posted a status update advertising it on my FB hoping that someone on my FB has a Steam account.
Also I gotta say the netcode is fucking awesome on my end. There's almost no slowdown whatsoever, no matter how high the ping gets (even at 300 it's really good).
BTW, current team is Cerebella/Peacock/Valentine.

Someone leaked some ripped images from the Beta and found rather interesting things... http://bearlikelion.com/skullgirls/
You got two monster headed playable chars with big tits wide hips , thigh high kneesocks and thin waists. O but wait the one on the left is chubby because her butt is slightly wider. Fat girls everywhere must feel represented now.

squigly is dlc biatch. im talking about the main cast they decided to go with.
Valentine and Double weren't going to be part of the original cast. Their slots were originally going to be Squigly and Parasoul's Loli Sister (http://skullgirls.wikia.com/wiki/Umbrella), but the team decided that there needed to be more bad girls on the roster so they were held back.
So yeah, they were going to be in at the getgo if PLOT didn't get in the way

For those who dont want to watch the video, Squigly has 'completed' voices for tag ins with Umbrella, Marie and the 4 DLC characters.
Not surprising that she'd have a tag-in voice for Marie, since a hacker could potentially make Marie playable, so they added that as a fail-safe for the tag-ins. On a side-note, Kira "Rina-Chan" Buckland (Marie's voice actress) frequently mentions how much she wants Marie to be playable and stuff, and playable Marie did fairly well in both DLC polls, so...?
And what I said about Umbrella earlier.

Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Darkflare on August 08, 2013, 08:59:46 pm
I think it's pretty clear that Marie and Umbrella will be playable at some point in the future. If they had won the polls they would have just shown up earlier and had someone else sit it out. They've mentioned that they need them both to be playable in order to progress their story and I'm pretty damn sure they don't want to leave it like that.

Because I'm gonna go get the Steam money tomorrow hopefully and I'm wondering if it's worth it training her with Valentine and Cerebella?
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Jango on August 09, 2013, 04:43:19 am
Squigly's basics ALONE let her counter almost any situation. A lot of her gameplay is charging up stances, using stance cancels to make long, elaborate combos, and knowing where the opponent is going to fall for when you use her music note Blockbuster.
So she's not really an easy character to pick up, but when you've got it, she's head and shoulders above most everyone else.

I came up with this combo during my first day of beta testing 4 days ago
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN-dQrBvxVU
This will probably help you to understand what is Jango talking about. What I'm basically doing during the first phase is cancelling basic moves and then repeating a basic combo again.
She has a special cancel that requires you to "charge" a stance first. Any QCF+P or K (And some other special moves) will execute a special attack but they can be held to enhance them. If you instead of releasing the button decide to cancel the charge (After having a fully charged attack) by pressing another button you will instead keep the charge and enhance any special move that would let you charge the stance.
Both stances (punch and kick versions) have their own individual charge variables so you will only enhance punch specials when you charge a punch special and the same goes for kick specials.
As long as you have one of the stances charged up you will be able to cancel any ground basic by pressing two punches (If punch special was charged) or two kicks. Doing the cancels will NOT reset your charges and can be done an infinite amount of times (You can see the cancels in action in my video, when she flashes blue).
You can move left and right while charging a stance, you can also gradually charge a stance, no need to risk it and charge it all the way in one single stance. You can just cancel the stance and charge the time left for a max charge during other stances as long as you never execute a move that would use the charge to get enhanced.
tl;dr she's fucking fun to play as

Alright, thank you very much for that, I just bought the game now for PC, so I'll be practicing with her for a bit and work her with Valentine/Cerebella(or probably Fillia depending on my mood) as well.

Holy crap on a crap sandwich, this game looks BEAUTIFUL on my computer even moreso than on my T.V.
I mainly did the tutorial for now, but Squigly is pretty damn good, they added a whole bunch of new things and sped up the animations for Double's and Valentine's lvl 3's...
The only thing I have against it is more or less my controller having issue with certain things.
People wanna add me, I'm lordxhominid on Steam lol
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Jango on August 13, 2013, 01:50:21 am

Otherwise, I did a few matches and while I did lose plenty, I also won plenty as well. I gotta get back on my basic Valentine Combos and remembering Squigly's moveset as at the moment, Cerebella is my crutch character lol.

Plus it's super easy to get started on and the tutorials even help you with stuff that usually only people in the FGC would get (I mean, geez, there's a tutorial that shows you how to use pokes properly).
I will say it though, it gets frustrating when your opponent can pull off a ridiculously long combo that will either kill you or do more than half a lifebar of damage (depending on how many characters are in your team VS your opponent's), but it's rare to find players that are THAT good, and the combos usually happen because you fucked up a block versus the game being broken.

And the huge damage reduction reminds me of hyper-armor on MUGEN as well...

More of the donation palettes, including a Fionna (http://adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/Fionna) palette for Filia, and a Double Rainbow (yes) palette for Double
Some new training mode options
Some Squigly nerfs (mostly her stun resets) and buffs for Ms. Fortune

Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Moon Girard on December 07, 2013, 11:18:17 am
tl;dr, Following Lab Zero ceasing relations with Konami, Konami has asked for Skullgirls to be de-listed from PSN and XBLA on the 17th and 31st of this month, respectively. Mike is working really hard to get a build through QA to be published by Autumn Games (PS3 EU PS3 NA)/Marvelous AQL (360)/CyberFront (PS3-Japan), but details are sketchy. One of the reasons a new build is necessary is that if SG keeps using the same Communications ID for the game, Konami would be able to shut the game down whenever it wants.
Lab Zero only found out about this through a Sony account manager after the request had been approved, so the decision is probably final. They have requested the date for the PSN takedown be moved until the end of the month, but after claiming that Sony and then Autumn wouldn't let them, all three asked for the date to be moved and Konami has not responded since then.
What does this mean for you?
Sony has said that people won't have to re-buy the game through the store, but because this has not happened before nobody knows exactly how the transition will work. Also, this should not remove the game from your hard drive if you already have it, but may or may not cause netplay issues.
Also, time that Mike spends on this is time he isn't spending on Big Band. On the upside, if the new verison gets through QA on the first try, there's a possibility that the Big Band Build will be up sooner than it would have been otherwise.

So apparently Skullgirls will now be called Skullgirls Encore. Just a minor thing to comment.
Also, PS3 version may get the re-release version soon if it passes the testing, and you won't have to buy the game again. Xbox360 users, tough luck. They're on vacation, so you will have to wait after winter vacation for the testing, and you also won't know if you have to buy it again. PC version already has it. Last, PS3 and Xbox360 trophies will not be inherited, so if you care about this stuff, you will have to unlock them again. Again, PC users have nothing to worry about.

If you want an official summary of what's going to happen to Skullgirls ENCORE, here's an easy to understand FAQ
Interesting to note is that while the PSN version is a completely new product, the XBLA version is an update to the existing build, so they'll keep achievements/records/etc. That, and as a sorry to everyone who bought DLC and had to put up with this, the replacement DLC packs for the new game will temporarily be free downloads.

Just posting to say that the stream revealed that Typing of the Skullgirls is a real thing. Apparently the game will slow down for super-charges and throws and allow you to type a phrase, and if you get it right, you get a damage multiplier.

Kinda saw it coming. Skullgirls' merch is selling better on eightysixed (awesome shirts) and Sanshee (GEORGE PLUSH!), so it's really a no-brainer that they'd shut down a store that specialized in personalized coffee mugs and blankets. Posted: January 20, 2014, 11:10:21 pm Some cool things about Big Band in these last few updates: - He has a Gato palette now, complete with metallic shading! - Mike Z implemented a suggestion I made :o :o (okay it was just delaying when the announcer says his "you win" line when Big Band does his rocket winpose). - Big Band has a secret super where he activates ZA WARUDO. You need five levels of super to do it, and you activate it by pulling out the trumpet and playing the first four notes of the logo screen's song. If you did this right, you freeze the timer and opponent, and your super will start draining. In this mode you can only play your trumpet, or (after this last update) do a specific follow-up command to do the ORA ORA ORA version of his QCF+2P super, which takes off more than half of the opponent's life. Situational as hell, but kinda cool to look at.

Michiru Yamane uploaded a WIP preview of Big Band's theme (saxophones are currently synth, but will be replaced with real saxes in the official release). Also a glimpse at his stage.
And for those of you who were wondering why Yamane is still working with the Skullgirls team after the Konami split, apparently she went freelance way back in 2008 so that's not really a problem.

Hey everyone - I hope 2014 is off to a good start for you. After a rollercoaster of a 2013, we’re looking forward to a smoother 2014 and finishing up the work you paid for. Now, let’s update you on the progress. First, Big Band is nearly complete as a character, but work on his stage and stage theme continues. His story mode is complete, but also ran late due to a number of other unforeseen production problems. Between those production difficulties and the Skullgirls Encore transition taking up most of Mike’s time, we’re clearly running behind.
Autumn Games has agreed to help pay for auxiliary programming support for Mike. We’ll be temporarily re-hiring Chris Glass, a contractors we hired for the PC version. This will allow us to port lobbies and galleries to the console versions of the game in a timely manner.
Crucially, Chris will also be able to support Mike so that he’s able to focus on creating awesome fighting game characters instead of splitting his time between programming and design. We expect that this will have a significant impact on maintaining our schedule into the future, since delays for Mike inevitably turn into delays for everything else.
Our current plan is to have Big Band released in March on all platforms. We’ve read console players’ posts online and understand your unhappiness about having to wait so long to get Squigly, and so we’ve decided to delay the PC release of future characters to match that of their console iterations. By this point we’ll have the Skullgirls Encore transition behind us, and estimate this would add 4-6 weeks’ time to a character's PC release. This will also give future characters more time in beta, assuring that more balance and other bugs are fixed before their release on console, as well as make sure that their story modes are on your system of choice before they’re on YouTube.
Given the vagaries of the console submission process and our recent difficulties, in the end we felt this approach was fairer to everybody and would also ensure a higher level of quality for all platforms. We didn’t make this decision easily, and hope our PC players understand why we chose to go this way.

Mike Z went on record saying that they will NEVER do another crowd-funding effort because he felt that it would be too irresponsible to rely on fan donations for development. The thread mentions they might go for a "pay what you want" model for Big Band but I don't think that's technically possible through PSN/XBL/Steam/YourMother unless they collaborated with Humble Bundle or something (which I guess is feasible since that's how they handled the digital rewards).
Even though I'm a Backer, I would totally pay for Big Band if it meant keeping them afloat for a little longer. I'm already a repeat shopper on their Eightysixed section (the site says all profits go directly into the game's development), so I wouldn't mind paying for DLC.
Also koopak00t, minor quip, but they used Indiegogo, not Kickstarter. Kickstarter's fees are a bit higher IIRC, so they opted for IGG.
And this, lads and lasses, is the problem with crowd funding game development. Most of your intended market will have already "bought" the game at the crowd funding, and you won't make much money from game sales.

Not making judgements, but I think anyone would've seen it coming a mile away.
shit by this point the frigging US president's gonna order a shutdown on development for whatever reason.

So from the stream last night:
- Sony port got the code checklist passed. Still waiting on... other factors I think? - Big Band is too big for the consoles and crashes certain stages when he's loaded up (including his own lol). However, Mike Z said it's just a matter of updating his character files.

IT KEEPS HAPPENING (http://skullgirls.com/forums/index.php?threads/lab-zero-igg-update-details-plans-for-completion-of-dlc.1559/)
From the Skullheart News Board, courtesy of one of the News Reporters, Night Phyre (On the board, news reporters are basically mini-mods that keep track of tournaments or game development, interview staffers, etc).
Quote
Mike Z has previously expressed that the IGG money isn't actually enough for the work they'd laid out for themselves, and that team members are under an inordinate amount of financial stress. This update appears to clue us in on the company's redoubled efforts to wrap up the DLC campaign in a timely manner.
Quote
Mike was pretty candid on the irc last night: if no company or angel investor comes along to fund more Skullgirls, the members of the team will pretty much be forced to scatter and find better paying work. I'm really not sure of the specifics of what it would take to keep SG going after Robo Fortune, but Mike's tone didn't strike me as optimistic.
"Well," I thought, "that sucks." (http://machineofdeath.net/pod-hiv)
This sucks. I heard of bad fortune but this is ridiculous.
I also wonder if the development of the other four characters will continue forward as planned, because this recent development sure rain on the parade on that plan.

This was actually done sometime last week, but Mike Z added in support for blind players. If you don't know how that works, here's a video of two blind-players trying it out (skip to around the 15 minute mark to actually see them get to picking out their characters and fighting)
Posted: February 08, 2014, 03:32:06 am First of all enjoy the long-awaited Squigly trailer.
Second, a solid release date has been announced for for the US PSN: Tuesday, February 11th. Still no word on the XBL release date but the patch has been submitted for testing.
And if the IGG is to be trusted, Big Band will be following shortly (like a month afterwards or so), both for the consoles AND PCs.

Skullgirls Encore (and Squigly) are finally out on PSN!
But it seems that at the moment, Sony's having a bit of a hard time getting all those vouchers out to the owners of the original Skullgirls (http://skullgirls.com/forums/index.php?threads/are-you-ready-for-an-encore-skullgirls-is-finally-back-on-consoles.1740/page-8#post-58934)
Ravidrath as of this posting time said:
Sony told us that they started the upload at 9, and that it would be completed around 10. And then they would start going out.
This is the time they do these broadcasts, because it is their minimum server traffic time. But there are still 62,000 XMB messages that need to go out.
Also Ravidrath said:
Also, BTW...
According to Sony, this is like the second time they've ever done anything like this. So it's kind of a mystery to everyone, even the people who did it for us at Sony.

Basically it's more of the same, just with minor gameplay tweaks and some graphical tweaks. Some characters got either new moves or some neat tweaks (Valentine can stack vials now) but other than that it's basically the same game with added content (New modes, some stages and bgms), so if you didn't really love the first revision I doubt you'll be charmed by Encore (Then again the update is free, so you're good) I gave it a try, noticed my old Valentine BnB didn't work anymore, tried Squiggly got bored and went back to Gundam Full Boost. I'll just wait for Beowulf to get released to give this a chance again.

Because the people working on UNiB really wants Filia in their game. And I guess the Skullgirls folks were flattered with this and put Yuzuriha in as a cameo. They also did put Bonus-Kun in a stage.

So two dudes that donated a shitload of money to the IGG did a Skype call with Alex Ahad to learn some more aspects about the game's storyline and his general opinion on things. (http://skullgirls.com/forums/index.php?threads/treasure-trove-of-skullgirls-lore-revealed-during-igg-reward-skype-calls.1828/) They're all documented in that thread, but if you want my personal favorite tidbits:
Spoiler: I guess if you didn't play story mode and actually play this game for the story?(click to see content)
Quote
Leviathan and Samson are a little like Cyclops and Wolverine from the X-Men, the former being the more traditional good guy and the latter being more of the reckless bad boy. They’ve knew each other for a long time, and in the grand scheme of parasitic affairs, they’re technically on the same side… but they definitely don’t get along.
Males can't do much with the Skull Heart. They can look at it, punch it, yell at it, polish it, show it off as a trophy, etc (Alex’s tone on this suggest that it would literally have no effect at all, negative or otherwise. It would just sit there).
Valentine is the Skullgirls universe equivalent of a weeaboo (Alex specifically compares her to Sodom from Street Fighter Alpha). Valentine’s overt sexuality is used to distract her opponents (in classic kunoichi fashion), but she has zero interest in romance or dating.
Cerebella has had Vice Versa since birth. When she was dropped (abandoned?) at the circus, it was with her. It probably came from her mother.
Painwheel developing Skullgirl powers from her blood might be implemented in a hypothetical EX version based on design and balancing. She probably won't go around throwing skulls, though.
The Annie of the Stars Show is very similar to the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. There are live action segments, and cartoons, PSAs, and commercials in between.
A book or comic book with the linear Story of Skullgirls would be like an ensemble, where you see the same events from the view of different characters switching the narrative every once in a while, with the general focus being on Filia and or Peacock since they’re mostly involved with either the over-arching story or, in Peacock’s case, with the current Skullgirls specifically.
There are things on the canon story that need to be fixed, in a hopefully, complete storymode (if LabZero can get to it). One of those things is why Samson push Filia to seek the Skullheart.

Okay, I played with the full version, and not only does it work well with my notebook shutting down, but I also have finished Filia's story after losing to Marie 2 times.

Alright, so some highlights from the last Salty Cupcakes: - They're getting closer to getting Big Band to fit on the PS3 - A bunch of character moves got tweaked - Big Band has a shitload of new color frames and voices, so if you have the beta, it's in there right now. - Also related to Big Band, Under the Bridge finally has live saxophones in the song. It sounds very... :dealwithit: saxy. - And regarding Eliza, all of her basics have some form of animation done on them, but they're still working on her specials and stuff. He gave a percentage but I forgot what it was lol Posted: March 03, 2014, 10:45:34 pm No big news from the dev team, but the remaining amount of Big Band frames that need to be finished look to be in the single digits now.

Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Jango on March 10, 2014, 06:23:07 am
Yeah, they actually did say that Big Band was coming out this month. Also all of Big Band's frames are now colored, so it's mostly just bug-testing for him now.
HOWEVER, one thing to be noted is that Big Band is going to be released simultaneously between all three platforms. And as the last Salty Cupcakes showed, they're having a little bit of trouble with the XBL release (mainly because of the whole split from Konami, and apparently Microsoft in general has a rough history with indie developers), but apparently when XBL finally catches up, it'll have Squigly AND Big Band for DLC available.
Still no word on the EU releases.

Uh, how exactly? This is just a palette swap, Decapre's appearance is at least slightly different. Both characters play radically different from their base so Decapre is still up by one point. So uh... don't bother replying if your only argument is "Capcom Co., Ltd.".
So because they don't hype the character, act as if this character will be a game changer, then hold her off till a tournament where everyone at this point is getting tired with the suspense, then toss out 2 fan favs only to get trolled out and be given the character isn't the problem at all?
Because if they didn't try and hype her up, then maybe this wouldn't be happening.

I'm fine with Decapre, but to be honest, Fukua is a lot more interesting, tools wise.(in my opinion) Plus she's really fun to play as(not that Decapre won't be) And even Ono appreciates the joke...so...
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: TTTTTsd on April 03, 2014, 01:53:25 am
It's not even a goddamn Decapre joke. At least, not completely. To some extent I suppose. Plus there's stuff there from other characters like Shadow Lady, palette wise. It extends far beyond simply Decapre. Oh and the Akuma palette, for extra clarity.
Not to subtract from the character I'm sure she's fun too. Also for further note, let's cut the "Capcom Co., Ltd." stuff right here and right now because it isn't gonna do us any better here than it did in the actual SF thread.

Its just a symbol of what actual paletteswaps mean to players. Actual players. A new moveset will always interest a starved player. Unfortunately Skullgirls doesnt have a lot of content so even a paletteswap adds a lot to the game. I kinda feel like they should have given her more unique animation stuff, but I can understand that they didnt have the budget.

Post by: CapnWTF on April 03, 2014, 02:12:29 am
She's mostly a Decapre parody, yes. Even her trailer is a parody of Decapre's. And she has a Decapre palette. She's a combination of a Decapre Joke, a Skullgirls community in-joke, and parody of other clone stuff.
Oh and she was put together by Mike Z in like 3 days as a joke, she's only staying because so many people wanted her to. There was no real budget involved there, it was just Mike being too stubborn(and unable) to not reuse animations.

Its like in the days of mortal kombat, when a new paletteswap ninja would be done with few new anims and reusing animations to make moves, and it would still be interesting to add something to the game. Skullgirls kinda needs this, they could have probably picked a better char to palette swap but now its done.

They had to go with Filia because of the origin of Fukua's name which triggered your usual internet fanfic stuff that ended up in her becoming a real character.

Ermac and Rain were pretty much done in that way. Mk3 didnt even had Scorpion,They were trying to replace them with robots but it kinda failed. Ultimate version added scorpion, reptile ,masked subzero, noob , ermac and rain. Talk about milking a spriteset. But then again, it extended the life of the game a lot.

Wasnt aware she was a rumoured thing before. I guess thats why. I just think that using a human plus symbiote thing to clone kinda diminishes them as a separate character, with a ninja its easy to say that they are different versions of them, but with the symbiote things get murky.

They are most likely gonna go back and add stuff once they finetune her gameplay some more. I mean, they gave Ms. Fortune a new Hk. when her head is on when Squigly got released, it probably isn't out of the question to draw some new projectiles later on (that's pretty much all she needs IMO).

So if you looked at the last patch's notes, you'll notice that Fukua now has some new frames for her command throw! These were entirely dontated by a fan named Skullmagedon who animated them for free (he's also messing around with Annie (http://skullgirls.com/forums/index.php?threads/annie-in-motion.1522/page-21#post-78361), but Lab Zero hasn't officially brought him on board), and apparently he's volunteered to do some more frames to flesh Fukua out to look more unique.
I really hope they add him to the team because he does some very nice work.

Welcome to last month's news. There's really nothing new because Mike Z is on vacation.
HOWEVER, in regards to Eliza, there is one thing I forgot to mention. You know the little skeleton dude in the size chart? That's Sekmhet, Eliza's parasite. What's going to be interesting is that Eliza is going to essentially be a stance character, with one moveset reliant on Sekmhet and another one not. This is probably one of the reasons the devs went over-budget: Eliza is basically two characters in one.
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: TrinitroRoy on April 13, 2014, 09:37:39 am
Not only that, but I also heard that Sekhmet is both Eliza's parastie AND what seems to be Eliza's...ahem..."skeleton". So Eliza is not just a Stand character, but even an "Vanilla Ice"-type character. I can only say two words: HOLY SHIT! :o

Here's some new for you Xbox people out there.

Attention Xbox 360 Skullgirls fans! We have an update for you! A real update! But it's a little bit strange... Sometime today there was a Title Update for Skullgirls on Xbox360! This is one of two things required for the game to get updated to Skullgirls Encore. The second thing needed is the mandatory Compatibility Pack DLC, which you have to manually download. So far, only the Title Update has been released by Microsoft. We're not sure when the Compatibility Pack DLC will come out, but we hope it's soon. This is a very good indication that THE XBOX360 VERSION HAS BEEN APPROVED and we should see Encore out soon, but we've contacted Microsoft for answers and will continue to monitor the situation. We assume that the Squigly and Big Band DLC is right around the corner! This was a complete surprise to us. We only found out because several fans here on Facebook and on Twitter reported it!

Quote
Valentine’s default color scheme possibly violates the copyright for the Red Cross’ emblem, and thus Marvelous has asked us to change it.
In particular, any instances of red crosses on a white background must be changed. So in addition to Valentine’s default palette, Ileum in the Lab 8 background, Parasoul palettes 4 and 11, as well as any story art containing Valentine all have been changed.

I dunno if they succeed or not owning the word "Candy". Now about that Red Cross that Valentine have that is apparently owned by the American Red Cross.
The Red Cross symbol was introduced as a protection symbol at the 1864 Geneva Convention. As for American Red Cross, They got founded in 1881. So that's gotta be pretty darn ridiculous to copyright something that was already there before. Even though the idea was in 1859.

Alright, she is looking good to go. I do plan on maining this Egyptian Sultry Pharoah, but her gimmick may be a real hassle to learn though.

- The salt at the steam gamehub is hilarious. "FUKUA BOOS 2 HARD" lol. It was a cool fight though, played it on normal and it was an interesting fight (Lost once and all). Marie being the THIRD fight was kinda weird though.
- Eliza's stage is amazing as well as its song. One of my favorites in the entire game.
- Glass Canopy's song is freaking boring, just like its previous one.

I just tested Eliza's Stage.
I know that it is not completely finished (looks flat and static) but it looks great so far!
And the music's just as good! I wish I have it as a separate .mp3 so I can listen to it in MUGEN...

Post by: rednavi -RETIRED on May 14, 2014, 02:04:01 pm
So I was looking at the requirements to unlock the gallery pics and all that and one guy said that finishing Marie 300% mode unlocks the whole gallery (Also I think there are some pics that require you to finish this mode anyway, so you'll eventually have to finish it if you want to unlock the full gallery).
Rather than finishing arcade mode with all the chars and do some other shit that wastes my time I decided to just beat the damn mode and after 1 or 2 hours I finally did it (http://steamcommunity.com/id/rednavi/screenshot/450669776919443835). Side effects include increase of rage towards the final boss and Rina-Chan.
Evo side tourney pot bonus grows to 5K for Top 16 (2.5K from LZ plus + 2.5K from Autumn Games).
Eliza's voice actors revealed.
Quote
... After months of silence, Lab Zero have finally revealed the voice actors for upcoming DLC character Eliza, her skeletal parasite Sekhmet, and her two loyal servants Horace and Albus!
Eliza will be voiced by Michelle Ruff, famous for roles such as C.Viper from Street Fighter IV, Carl Clover from BlazBlue, Etna from Disgaea, and WAY more stuff.
Sekhmet will be voiced by Wendee Lee, who you may know as the voice of Faye Valentine from Cowboy Bebop, Haruhi Suzumiya from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Konata from Lucky Star, and again, WAY more than I can reasonably list.
Horace will be voiced by Sean Schemmel, better known as ****ING GOKU.
Albus will be voiced by Christopher Corey Smith, best known as Rufus from Street Fighter IV, although he has quite a résumé. With voice actors chosen and announced, you can expect these talented actors to grace your ears with their dulcet tones in the coming weeks.
Oh, and one more thing...
Eliza is coming to the Skullgirls ∞Endless Beta∞! The wait is finally over; owners of Skullgirls Encore on PC will be able to play her for the first time (in all of her unfinished glory) sometime this weekend. It will still be some time before she's ready for the spotlight, but beta players will have the chance to participate in her development and balancing until she's complete. ...

Beta updated and Eliza can now summon Sekhmet! The best way I can describe the gameplay is kinda like Avdol/Kakyoin/Polnareff's ability to remote control their stand in the Capcom JJBA game, the difference being that instead of draining a Stand meter, it drains your super meter. It's pretty awesome!

Are you guys not playing any more or something?! Eliza now has some new moves (special AND supers), and she now has a few lines of voice acting. It's nothing amazing, but it fits at least.

Oh they still have to clean up a shitload of frames, do more bug-testing, get all of her voiceclips in, get the voiceclips in for Sekhmet; Horus; and Albus, and (unless they gave up on it) do that mechanic where she drops blood/sand or something that she can use in an attack (although she now has two LV. 1 supers so maybe that's not going to happen???).
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: LurkerSupreme on July 10, 2014, 06:35:59 am
Blood mechanic is dead and buried, confirmed at AX Panel. She might get a DHC only super that uses a cut tag-in/out animation involving a chariot. Apart from that, all normals and specials seem to be in. All that's left is what Jango says: polish, polish, polish.
Some other stuff confirmed from AX was that Beowulf and Robo-Fortune will be worked on simultaneously.

The PS4 and PS Vita versions of Skullgirls Encore will be complete, including all of the DLC characters, stages, and story funded by Lab Zero’s Indiegogo campaign, as well as “All Play” multiplayer lobbies and an extensive art gallery.
Skullgirls Encore for PS Vita will also be playable on PlayStation TV, and support up to two local players using DualShock 3 or 4 controllers. We’ll have more info on features and pricing as these exciting new versions get closer to launch."

Post by: Jango on July 21, 2014, 04:22:40 am
I like Robo-Fortune's look, and you can definitely tell that her design is more than just a Ms. Fortune palette-swap (unlike the first Robo-Ky).
As far as the super finish BG goes, I like the concept behind it, but it only worked in Jojo because it had an awesome Super BG going on behind it whenever you did it, and that you could actually see the artwork clearly. If they're going to make it work for Skullgirls, they're probably going to have to actually make some effort and make a colored KO portrait, or at the very least make it resemble the distressed sepia-tone film look they have for the super artwork. Just for consistency.
SPEAKING OF JOJO:

Lab Zero Games (Finally) Receiving Cut of Skullgirls' Sales! (http://skullgirls.com/forums/index.php?threads/lab-zero-games-finally-receiving-cut-of-skullgirls-sales.4353/)
Quote
After many years in development, Skullgirls released in 2012 to glowing reviews and admirable sales figures. Despite their hard work, however, developing studio Lab Zero Games has unfortunately not seen a cent out of Skullgirls' sales since its release... until now!
While not announced through official outlets, designer and community manager @render has gone on record in saying that Lab Zero Games is finally receiving a cut out of every copy of Skullgirls Encore sold, including DLC sales. For a business that formerly only received money from Eightysixed T-Shirt sales (most of which was donated to the Skullgirls Encore 2014 EVO pot (http://skullgirls.com/forums/index.php?threads/salty-6-6-autumn-lz-sweeten-the-pot-elizas-va-revealed-and-more.3605/)), this development should prove to be much-desired assistance to the company tasked with creating five DLC characters at near-minimum wage. For those who wish to support Lab Zero, the simple act of buying a copy of Skullgirls Encore (or convincing your friends to do so!) now helps them out.
It should be mentioned that this does not necessarily imply anything about Skullgirls' future, and that until further notice you should expect Skullgirls' future plans to follow those outlined in this FAQ (under "Will there be any more characters after Robo-Fortune?") (http://skullgirls.com/forums/index.php?threads/skullgirls-faq-updated-to-not-be-ancient.386/). Regardless, this is still one of the most significant developments for Lab Zero this year, and should be celebrated as such! They deserve it.

Ugh, that's my main gripe with MikeZ. He's not very professional and gets really passionate about the game if someone knocks it. I wish that he would keep quiet on these matters, and let whoever runs the Skullgirls Twitter (ravidrath?) to be the public face of Skullgirls.
Heh, me and Jmorph were talking about that last night. But yeah, I guess it's not too surprising considering how many fighting game references are in the characters (ie: Peacock's QCB+HK sometimes dropping a Steamroller complete with timestop, Ms. Fortune having "Furserker Barrage," etc etc)

Yeah... no, I'm not recording every single match considering how much strain that gives to your PC unless you have a powerful rig, and the HDD space raw footage takes is even more impractical (You wont compress it on the fly, that adds even more strain to your PC, risking input delay and random freezes). Asking for replay saving is a perfectly fine feature request.

Red's point is entirely valid. Having to use a local program to record a game that's already using a lot of resources is stupid and MikeZ's being the jerk talking like that. Recording inputs in-game would solve all of that and use barely any resources.

Not even close. MikeZ was being a douchebag heavily right there. As Hoshi stated, recording inputs is NOT THAT HARD(pretty much every fighting game does it now) so it's no excuse whatsoever for him to not include it or at the very least, not be an ass about it.

The only thing I found hilarious was the part where Mike Z was complaining about some SFIV collision boxes being handled differently (Taking in mind the model at every frame rather than being coded separately as if it was a sprite) when his game is a gigantic disaster at that :P. Other than that I really didn't mind the way he replied to that ass.
I mean I bought it for 15 bucks when it was released and this was and still is one of the most solid PC releases of a fighting game ever, mostly because it's not a shoddy port. We even get to beta test new characters and the game is patched all the time to address silly bugs. In the meantime we're still waiting for some vanilla SFIV to still be addressed...

I really don't see how Mike Z is being a douchebag or even being a jerk there, the guy he is replying to is being a massive fucking prick because he spent copious amounts of nickels to buy the game only to, *sniff sniff* not have what I really wanted in it :(!!!!! It's ridiculous that Mike Z is being demonized for that comment, I thought he handled it decently.
Yeah, the original poster was a prick, but if I was Mike Z, I would've either ignored it or addressed it in a nice manner (ie: "Thank you for supporting Skullgirls! Replay recording is actually currently in development, and more details will be available later.") I mean, yeah, that would've looked super robotic, but in this day and age, you kinda need to be if you don't want people tearing you apart.

I can't say I blame Mike for reacting like that. That's a pretty big insult, and it wasn't the first time or the right place to do that.
But Mike himself knows replays aren't hard, he's said so, and the game DOES support input recording, but a lot of other stuff takes priority over replays...like programming the damn characters.

Didn't think it was a big deal either. He isn't as abrasive as Kamiya for starters, and it's not as if those people aren't asking for it by saying ungrateful shit like that.
I'm sure Z can constrain himself from saying anything that would damage his image in a substantial manner. I don't think a response (with a justifiably mild insult) to someone who's bitching about a recording feature would ruin his reputation.

All of Eliza's frames have been colored, and now there are a few lines for Sekhmet, Horace, and Albus. THOUGHTS
- Sekhmet's voice, from what little there is of it, sounds really good, and while it's different from what I expect of Wendee Lee, it's very excellent. And while I won't spoil anything, try the intro VS Squigly. VERY nice. - Horace sounds like a very dignified Goku. Hell even without knowing that his voice actor is Goku, I would've thought that. Which is to say it's pretty cool. - Albus is... well I can't even tell what he's saying sometimes.
Oh also Faye Valentine palette

While everyone waits for Eliza to show up, there's some stuff on Beowulf!
So apparently s.LP is going to have some new mechanic that's still under wraps, one of Beo's non-chair moves was put in and it's beautiful, and he apparently has a grab that functions like a side-scrolling beat 'em up grab.
Also his intro, which has randomization in it :o

1. I can't for the life of me download Eliza off Steam, how the hell is anyone doing it past the PS3 and X360 downloads? EDIT: Nevermind, Steam Store finally updated and I was able to download Eliza.

Who would you say it's "easy to play as"?
I really haven't spent much time playing this game because I simply don't understand the pace and I find it inaccessible, so I'd like a starting point :P
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Sinnesloschen on October 02, 2014, 12:03:07 am
I personally started with Cerebella because her combos are pretty simple and her attacks are nice to help learn the game's spacing. There's also Double, but she's more if you wanna just combo your opponents to death every time they let up in their defense.
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Nanashi_1337 on October 02, 2014, 12:05:56 am
Isn't Fillia also a good starting point? She's easy to fight with, so I suggest you give her a try.

Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: CapnWTF on October 02, 2014, 02:28:28 am
Filia is...wierd, man. Like in vanilla she was kind of the "ryu" but now she's rushdown+ I would suggest using bella as wella, start with a solo no matter who you use though. and yeah Xan is right, Eliza is wierd as fuck, man. But if you get used to her wierd she's actually really fun and has a lot of variety at the start.(what I mean is you don't have to master her to get access to some shenanigans, you have options right from when you start using her) She's not really "hard" per se. in the middle, really. I would recommend against starting with Squigly, Val, or Painwheel. If you like execution heavy stuff then Squigs and val are fine, but Painwheel is wonk as fuck.
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Jango on October 02, 2014, 03:26:16 am
Yeah, Cerebella is probably the best place to start, which is really funny to say for a grappler but she has so many options you don't really notice that. Also IMO, Fukua is a good starter character as well since you have a nice mixture of zoning and combos. Once you understand the game better, Ms. Fortune is a lot of fun to play as, and ditto for Peacock.
When you start building teams, in my experience, the best assist is Squigly with Center Stage hands down (it makes it very hard for opponents to run away since it drags them back close to the center of wherever Squigly shows up). Other options kind of depend on the character, but my favorite is Peacock's George At the Airshow since it gives you aerial coverage while you focus on covering the ground, and Eliza's Weight of Anubis does a good job of discouraging the opponent from turtling.

Title: Batman, Ambojitsu, and You
Post by: Jango on October 05, 2014, 10:50:10 am
So on Rebel Up's stream, some Beowulf updates got announced:
stolen from Skullheart said:
- Beowulf now has a character select sprite and announcer soundbite. - His idle animation is fully colored; his first cleaned animation! - Beowulf now has his c.MP: A heavy-hitting punch with a surprising amount of reach. - s.MP: Beowulf delivers a vicious punch, microphone clutched in hand. If held, he drops the mic and makes the crowd go wild. The falling microphone hits overhead! - s.LK: A stomp that (currently) hits low. - Chairless c.HK: Beowulf swings Grendel's arm across the floor in a 30f sweep that reaches over halfway across the screen. Causes Beowulf to fall over, requiring a ground tech (like Big Band's j.HK). While it cannot be comboed off of, it has two hits of armor! - Part of his timeout: Beowulf sits on his chair and contemplates in frustration.
Also alt palettes based on Batman and William Riker. (http://i.imgur.com/LRVfJzY.jpg) Mike_Z also said something like we'd find out later why there's a William Riker palette. I hope to god this means that Beowulf studies Ambojitsu (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1A2zPqVq5w).

Honestly, there's a point where patching goes out of control so much it's off-putting. I haven't played the game in a long time because of how my favorite characters kept getting change after change. You leave the game for a month and your character has tons of changes and I no longer want to relearn every change from every character at this point :|
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: CapnWTF on November 19, 2014, 04:03:12 am
but the only major changes seem to happen in the Beta first...I mean they don't get put in the main game for a WHILE because parity. If you main the beta I understand, but the main game only gets updated when a new character or major change comes out...so like every 5-6 months. I mean I dropped Fortune because they changed her too much from Vanilla to SDE, but I just picked up somebody else instead.

I played as her in a vanilla version a little while back, and let's just say her command dash being her default dash and not being able to redirect her Toon Town Swag Wagon or whatever it's called really didn't sit well with me.

but the only major changes seem to happen in the Beta first...I mean they don't get put in the main game for a WHILE because parity. If you main the beta I understand, but the main game only gets updated when a new character or major change comes out...so like every 5-6 months. I mean I dropped Fortune because they changed her too much from Vanilla to SDE, but I just picked up somebody else instead.
Not true at all. There are several moments where the main game gets updated almost at the same time as the beta, and it happens a lot of times per month depending of their current workflow. I know it because I have both installed so I know when they get updated. Hardly happens only when a character gets released.

The second vid is just him showing mechanics in MvC2 and has nothing to do with Skullgirls, so it's really only interesting if you want to know how MvC2's system does things (and how they MAYBE affected Skullgirls' development).
I have to say, I initially wasn't a big fan of Beowulf, but now that I'm geting used to him, I'm really liking the options he has! Lots of fun using the chair to cancel out of moves and extend combos. My only complaint is that I really wish he had a move that would yank the chair back to him, but that's pretty minor considering he gets it back after he tags out (it sucks if he leaves it out and your teammate is killed though, because if the opponent is smart, they'll move to get the chair offscreen). Oh and I guess it would be nice if the range for grabbing the chair was increased a little.
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Niitris on December 22, 2014, 02:15:28 pm
This is a large change, it invalidates many combos but provides many new ones, opens up new neutral gameplay, etc. I've wanted to try this for a long time just to see how it goes. It may turn out to not be very "Skullgirls" but the best way to learn is by doing - that's what the Beta is for! This is by no means final, and I'm very sad I have to explicitly state that, hello internet. See what you think, maybe it's fun. - Everyone has double the takeoff velocity for superjumps, and has air control with the joystick. - Hitting with a normal during a superjump cuts your upward velocity in half, just like all the old Versus games.
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: rednavi -RETIRED on December 22, 2014, 03:56:31 pm
Versus-Style Superjumps #2, a bit more Skullgirlsish - Superjumps are now only slightly higher than Real Game superjumps (10% instead of 55%). Connecting an attack still reduces your upward velocity a bit. - Launcher heights returned to normal. Launchers still launch every character the same height regardless of weight (this is probably staying even if superjumps don't, it's a good fix). - Joystick still gives air control during superjumps. Backward acceleration from Back is smaller, and is halved once an attack has connected during the jump. - Painwheel's flight adjusted for this test, slower than the last one. Compared to the Real Game: 1/2 pixel per frame faster fwd, 4 pixels/frame faster upward, 2 pixels/frame faster backward, downward is unchanged. Still possible to catch her going upward by superjumping.

Will their be another character made to replace Fukua spot on the roster or Robo Fortune is the last character made? Fukua could be placed under Big Band since she's pretty much a hidden character until you hover over her. I don't follow this game to much even though i own it for XB360 and PC -_-

Post by: Jango on February 05, 2015, 01:00:57 pm
Skullheart Forums' FAQ said:
Q: Will there be any more characters after Robo-Fortune? Can we kickstart more characters?
A: It depends on Lab Zero's situation at that time in the future. At the moment, everyone at Lab Zero is working at near-minimum wage, sometimes unpaid, to create the characters they promised in the IGG campaign; despite their love for the game and its community, this is not something they want to do again. Asking for more money (at higher, non-minimum wages) in a hypothetical second kickstarter has been brought up as an idea, with mixed feelings from Lab Zero staff; Lab Zero doesn't wish to be exploitative with their community, and as such are hesitant to create a second Kickstarter.
As of May 2014, barring further funding by Autumn or other interested parties, the current plan for Skullgirls post-Robo-Fortune is to submit some final bug patches/balance tweaks some time after R.Fortune's release, complete any promised content (hi-res sprites for PC, voice packs), and then let the game stand as it is, polished to the nth degree over 2+ years.

Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Macaulyn97 on February 09, 2015, 12:09:52 am
Lets be honest, how much attention does Skullgirls have now? I mean, the game is awesome, but the first version was released at 2012, its been almost 3 years. They are only still releasing DLCs to not disappoint the fanbase who chose those characters. It would be a better idea to release a sequel, there are lots of unanswered questions regarding the story, which appears to grow even more with every DLC character. Also, there are lots of potential characters already involved, like Black Dahlia, Brain Drain and even the Trinity itself (I wonder why people didn't chose them).

Actually Ravidrath talked about this on Neogaf it was a different reason they didn't get her to do Beowulf's theme (http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=150319556&postcount=9519)
Quote
We tried to have Yamane do it, but after a few shots she just didn't seem to be getting it.
It was getting to be a good song, but still was not tonally what we wanted to for this stage. It basically got to the point where the music was going to be the only thing delaying Beowulf, so we made the tough decision to move on. Brenton and Blaine seemed to get what we wanted, and were able to turn that around pretty quickly.
We're still going to finish that other track and use it somewhere else in the game, so you'll be getting the same amount of Yamane music you were promised.
Technically you're getting more, actually! Because you got the Rooftop Assault track which was never really planned in the original campaign and budget.
Fun Fact: Under the Bridge stage was intended for the game's original release, and we did the music for it way back when, before the stage itself was cut. It then became the Class Notes theme, which I think fits very well.

If they had to scale back on stuff for the DLC, what makes you think they have the budget to make a whole new game?
I'm pretty sure a comeback with Skullgirls 2 would get a lot of people hyped. Now that everyone knows that Skullgirls is an awesome game, they could get funding. I mean, if that stupid new Shaq-Fu got funded, Skullgirls 2 would definitely be too.

Yes, but with Skullgirls' popularity being relatively high, I think it would be worth a try.
Also, when is Beowulf coming? I already cleared Story mode with all of the others and gonna get tired of Arcade soon. (by the way, holy shit, the boss Filia in Fukua's Story Mode is even worse than Marie!)
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Sinnesloschen on February 15, 2015, 11:27:41 pm
Becoming dependent on crowd-funding is not a stable business model. People will eventually get tired of having to chip in money for game production aside from the purchase prices and other such DLCs they want to buy. A good business is one that can support itself through sales, rather than people just giving them pity cash.
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Macaulyn97 on February 15, 2015, 11:53:34 pm
That is such a shame, there are so many things that remained unexplained, some characters that could be cool to play with. But I cleared some story modes today, and think they may have hinted the addition of new characters (it can also be just me, but, anyway): - In Eliza's story, after the credits, Marie, who was defeated, appears in a giant skeleton, saying "Were you not told? This is not over." Why the hell would they give us this epilogue? Apparently, it was stated that Lab Zero Games that Marie would need to become playable for the canon story to be revealed (oh, the idiots who didn't vote for her...), so... I wonder if they want to make a playable version of her, just for that... it actually makes even more sense if they don't want to make a sequel, at least they would give us what actually happened. - In Fukua's story, Umbrella and Annie of the Stars appear in the mirror after the credits. Annie doesn't really make any sense, but Umbrella (and Squigly too) were planned to be added to the main cast, but, apparently, they didn't make it due to the lack of villains (and I agree, who is actually a villain in this game besides Double?). But, could they be planning to add her as a "surprise". I know the possibilities are minimum, but I doubt they're non-existant.

Annie was in fukuas ending because DDB, and umbrella was there because of a running joke in the community.
Also I just want to point out that even if they voted on Marie, that wouldn't be enough for us to get the canon story. You still need Umbrella, B.Dhalia and one or two others.

How do you know that? No one knows which is the canon story to be sure of which character would be important or not. Sure, Umbrella would probably be there, as it can be seen in Parasoul's story, but I don't think that Black Dahlia would be that important. She only appears as a goon. Also, it would make sense if Marie wass released after the others' maybe they would interact with her.

And what makes you think that Marie would not have a brand new character? If they wanted to make her boss version playable, they would have made it already. She was described to have a different moveset, based on her powers, but not boss-like. Also, since she has so little sprites, I don't think she would take minimal effort. I'm completely sure that she would be more important than any of the DLCs we have right now, who, instead of being inside the story, they're only being added to the story and would have no importance at all if they didn't exist (excluding Squigly, because, like Umbrella, she was planned to be in the original cast).
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Sinnesloschen on February 16, 2015, 01:16:08 am
No, I meant the ones of the release cast, the non-DLC. Its shown in Valentine's story that she is more a anti-hero than a villain.
I personally don't vouch for Valentine as an anti-hero due to Painwheel's existence. I've beaten her story, and regardless of her intentions, I still point towards Painwheel.
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Jango on February 16, 2015, 01:20:37 am
As stupid as that statement is, people found unused tag-in voices for both Marie and Umbrella. While you could say that they scrapped it, all the DLC characters released thus far have those calls (even Eliza).
While it doesn't guarantee that they'll be playable, I'm going to guess that they're in there "just in case."
And maybe Rina-chan will finally stop complaining about her fighting game debut not being a playable character.

Yeah no. And no one honestly takes this game's story seriously unless you're some sort of Skullgirls tumblr aficionado. People voted for characters they wanted to see, I'm sorry to hear that popular opinion hurt you so much and people would rather see a new character in a fighting game instead of a playable boss.

DDB is a frequenter of the skullheart forums, frequently referred to as the world's biggest annie fan. If anything happens, he's the first to show up and go "when's annie." Pretty much everybody on SH knows who he is, so that was most likely a nod to him. And the running joke is just that Umbrella is really salty about not being in the game yet and may or may not be trying to kill everyone out of spite. and last but not least, I know which characters are important for the canon story because it's been stated multiple times by multiple people. Including Mike, I think.

The sheer amount of No True Scotsman dripping from your response is astounding.
I don't think it takes any specific mindset towards how you play your games to classify you as a gamer. It never has. For example, look at how gaming was for a large portion of its early years: little to no story, and if there was any, it was just an excuse for the game's aesthetic/design. Gamers back then played the game because they enjoyed it--what makes today's games so different? Is it the increased emphasis on story?
C'mon, even some of today's games have little to no story (Super Smash Bros comes to mind) and people still play them. What does that make the people who play them? Are they "less" of a gamer because they're not engrossing themselves in a storyline?

Shoryuken.com said:
While the indie fighter rarely receives a huge amount of support at major tournaments across the United States, a couple of events have announced big news regarding Skullgirls Encore that members of their niche community will definitely eat up.
First off, Combo Breaker (the spiritual successor to Adam “Keits” Heart’s Ultimate Fighting Game Tournament series) revealed recently that Skullgirls will not only be included in their official lineup, but will also receive its own slot on the main stage, giving it a proper showing to the rest of the fighting game community.
But it doesn’t stop there. Developers Lab Zero Games saw this and, never one to miss an opportunity to support the scene, announced that they will be supplying a $2000 pot bonus to the proceedings, providing a little extra incentive for players to make it out.
Northwest Majors 7 will feature its very own bonus to the Skullgirls prize pool, courtesy of regional LAN center GameClucks. Though a concrete stage schedule has yet to be set up, the title will also serve as part of this event’s official lineup.

Alex Ahad stated that Beowulf is, universe-wise, the least important character in the Skullgirls mythos, so it's not surprising that his Story Mode would be in a... different tone.
Didn't play it yet tho. Finished. Yeah it's not super dramatic or anything, but it's kinda nice to have a Skullgirls story mode that ends on a high goofy note compared to most of the others getting their shit wrecked.

Post by: Niitris on April 25, 2015, 12:13:11 pm
I was wondering the same thing when I saw 05/06 thinking "why would June 5th not surprise me?"
I truly do sympathize with the EU in having to endure the unparalleled incompetence from Sony of Europe; I would've popped an artery by now if I had to deal with those fools. They have such a disgraceful track record and it seems every other week there's some issue. Bad enough everywhere else seems to be third behind Japan and the US, the least those dribble monkeys can do is have the content that DOES show up distributed in a timely manner.
Apparently there's some rule that if store content isn't translated for most all countries in that territory, the content doesn't show up at all. Completely moronic, since anybody who struggles with any second language could use context clues (price tags, images, etc) in finding what they want, but it's obvious that logistics logic isn't SCEE's specialty. Particularly sucks for the UK since no translation would be needed.

How do you think we in Australia feel? Right next to Japan, right across the Pacific from the US, but because we use the same sort of power cords as the Brits nine times out of ten our games literally have to circumnavigate the fucking globe to get here; Japan, through the US, through the UK and finally to us.
Thank fuck I've got the Steam version.

I just completed Beowulf story. I enjoyed it and i love the fact that he has specific but custom phrases from popular wrestlers. Also if Lab Zero ever decide to make more characters for the game i want Annie to be on the list. Her personality has caught my interest and her being able to use that butcher knife along with that teddy bear in her gameplay would be really cool to see.

I find it to be a nice extra that they're adding to the PS4 and Vita versions. Good for them... I usually just do the pretend voice acting when I did story mode for each character. Really liked how I did Big Band.

Her story is quite fun, but they could have exploited the comic relief part better, there are some very fun dialogues, but there aren't many of them.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Before fighting Marie, there is literally a part where Robo says: "Did you just give a major plot point?", to which Marie responds: "Don't worry, no one will think this nonsense is canon".
Also, her ending is basically as a Sentinel in the future of X-Men - Days of Future Past.

Good to hear. Including JP VA. Famitsu confirms that Ayana Taketatsu will voices Fillia in JP (considered both Marie & Taketatsu are known voicing Azusa & Kirino). Means Western owners will have a DLC voice option soon... After the JP version release. If not releasing the voice option set, Skullgirls might ended up like Resident Evil 6 (in which JP voice was exclusive for JP region only)

Game is already finished so you're free to get it (Heck, it's even part of the current humble bundle with all the DLC, if you plan to get it on PC).
I personally like the game and so others around here but he hates it. People obviously like different things so you'll have to decide by yourself on this. i mean, it's not Sonic Boom where the game is a glitchy piece of crap and is considered utterly boring by pretty much everyone.
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Niitris on October 08, 2015, 04:21:45 pm
It's actually pretty well balanced afaik, just as many characters as MvC2. :V
Game's fine if your criteria for that is "not a poorly tested pos." Didn't hold my interest for very long though, gameplay and pacing just doesn't feel fun. Certainly not as much as Marvel 2. I'm willing to revisit it briefly but I doubt much changed on that front in the year and change since I last played it. Best I can say is watch matches and see if it's something you might like.

Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: rednavi -RETIRED on October 09, 2015, 12:01:19 am
Skullgirls' tutorial is one of the best FG tutorials ever. My main problem with the game is that it teaches you to play as each character and how the game mechanics work like but it lacks good combo examples for each one and the game had so many updates you can't even go to youtube to check for some combo videos because they're most likely outdated, and even then it's a chore to learn them that way.
The PS4/Vita fixes that with a trial/challenge mode but that mode has yet to hit the PC version... IF ever.

They censored it in, like, April, and only Filia/Fukua and Cerebella were affected. Don't play Filia, but Cerebella's was limited to like one instance changed (Cerecopter), and she still has the massive pantyflash in that one super. Plus if they were THAT prudish, Eliza and Valentine would've gotten massive overhauls.
Not really a big deal (especially since Cerecopter's new frames make her look like she's not even wearing panties lol)

Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Jango on November 06, 2015, 08:46:13 pm
It was deemed "unacceptable" because the (allegedly six total) animation frames went out of their way to do a panty shot where it wouldn't make sense to have it, otherwise they would've gotten rid of the buttload of other pantyshots the characters have. They've done more severe cuts before, such as the infamous Filia top ripping time over pose, prior to the game's release.

To be frank, I kinda give a shit...and I don't give a shit. I'm not a fan of censorship in general, but I never cared about the pantyshots for Fillia or Cerebella(despite the latter being a character I want to pick up).
Probably because I can get the reason for it...but I still care and don't to really raise a fuss nor is it something that honestly is a gamebreaker at all.
Besides if people care THAT much, just use Valentine or Eliza, I still remember in tourneys she still shows panty shots so go broke on that.
This is from someone who hasn't played Skullgirls in about a year and I've seen the infamous Fillia Timeout Pose and I really wouldn't care if it was in the game but I can see why they removed it.
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: rednavi -RETIRED on November 06, 2015, 10:27:15 pm
I see these few animation changes as "bug fixing" rather than self censorship. It's like that DOA5 glitch with Honoka that causes her skirt to stay lifted no matter what.
Fixing that wouldn't be something I would call censorship, and even if the skirt glitch was actually introduced on purpose (Because that's how it would work like in the case of 2D sprites, you can't lift a skirt by accident there) and later removed it would still be something done to improve the visuals by removing something ridiculous. It's just like any other sprite tweaking done in the past to fit better animation standards, and cloth physics are part of that.

Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Niitris on November 06, 2015, 10:50:58 pm
Our public stance with regard to panty shots and the like within the game has always been something along the lines of "well, they're sexy girls, and they're fighting. If one of them is wearing a skirt, you're bound to see some panty. We're not trying to hide it, but we're also not going out of our way to show it either."
There were a handful of animations - which I will not spend time enumerating just to sate your curiosity - that we felt went against that, because they seemed like they did go out of their way to flash some panty, and we wanted to fix them. These animations were made waaaay in the beginning of development (Filia was the first character ever made for Skullgirls, remember!) and these animations wouldn't have been made the same way if they'd been animated today because our standards have evolved (hah).
Old animations deemed unacceptable for new standards so they were replaced with new, less provocative ones. Sounds like self-censorship to me. Course is it worth making a fuss over is a different thing.
Panties.

Before guest characters, maybe get in all the rest of the in-universe characters first? We have a bunch planned out from the fundraising campaign years ago that is still waiting to be developed...

In case anyone is interested, Skullgirls 2nd Encore has been released onto the Nintendo Switch.

Okay, so, I'm not sure if its appropriate to include this here, but this seems to have slipped under most people's notice because its news from the mobile game, but those can potentially have an effect in the game in the other platforms. Basically, this year, Skullgirls Mobile will get a yet unannounced character that was NOT in the original Skullgirls 2nd Encore roster, and they have confirmed that if this new character in the mobile game brings enough revenue, they would consider bringing said character to other platforms, and in another question, they also mention that if said character is a success, it will also facilitate more characters coming to the mobile version and even the other platforms.

He's not a douchebag, winning and being confident about it usually makes you a villain on the fgc because is full childish people that love underdog narratives. Even when playing heel he's actually nice towards the opponents, especially when he loses.

This does not a douchebag make~
He does it because he knows it annoys the homophobes :beam:
I remember that a lot of people were annoyed that he was "bringing politics and personal stuff into games", even though he had talked about it, like, once. Easiest way to identify a homophobe is to see who gets annoyed by any mention of something gay.

Glad that Skullgirls still going on, with the development team bringing new stuff.
Spoiler: About that off-topic SonicFox discussion(click to see content)
Anyway, i didn't like SonicFox at all. Because he's gay? Or because he's furry? Of course not. If you want to discuss politics, okay. But doing it in such way like saying "i'm gay" in every single tweet is annoying tho. If you want to show and say that you're gay and you have proud of this, don't do like SonicFox.

Post by: Macaulyn97 on June 02, 2020, 09:13:45 am
I don't think it's off-topic now that he is actually in the game. Regardless, back to the new character thing, I have two theories about who could be this new character they'll include. The first theory is simply that they'll include Ajna from Indivisible.
The second one comes from a conversation that I had with whoever was answering me in the official Skullgirls Facebook page some years ago: I asked about a canon story mode and they responded they couldn't make it without Marie, Black Dahlia and Umbrella being playable, which makes me think they could be adding one of those three.
Interestingly, they also said, in the same conversation, that they would definitely add these three characters, should they make Skullgirls 2, and they would make Skullgirls 2 if Indivisible and Skullgirls Mobile were successful.

Based on those comments, it actually DOES seem like a bunch of homophobic assholes. Seriously, its just a furry, and its not even like they're showing porn or anything of the kind there, he will MAYBE replace Mrs. Victoria in that ONE stage, for fuck's sake, people really need to grow the fuck up, leaving negative reviews and trying to request refunds (which I doubt they can get for such a stupid reason) over a background NPC is absolutely patethic.

Good to see SkullGirls' still getting support after what they've done to add the other new faces. I really liked how they did Eliza, Beowulf and Big Band since I had used those 3 a lot. I'd love to see a playable version of Marie in the future.
Title: Re: Skullgirls
Post by: Macaulyn97 on August 15, 2020, 04:53:43 pm
So, this might be a little convoluted, but fuck it, I have a small theory about the possibility of canon story mode finally making it to the game. So, in case anyone doesn't know, the devs stated before that they would need the characters Black Dahlia, Marie (yeah, the boss) and Umbrella to make it into the game for them to be able to include the actual canon story of Skullgirls, because those characters were fundamental. They released Annie, likely because she was popular in their polls for which characters to include in the game, BUT, it turns out that, according to the stats they released (http://shoryuken.com/2013/05/21/lab-zero-releases-skullgirls-dlc-character-voting-stats-aggregate-rankings/), Annie was actually matched with another character in popularity: Minette, the fish girl from Ms. Fortune's story.
If you look at the poll results, you'll see that Minette actually beat Annie for the most part, but while Minette is a quite minor character, Annie is a surprisingly big deal in Skullgirls' universe. It seems for me that the devs picked Annie because she was a safe enough pick, while still being lore relevant, unlike Minette. We know that they're going to measure Annie's success to decide if they're gonna make more new characters or not, so, if they picked Annie for story importance, its likely that their next characters will also be, so Black Dahlia, Marie and Umbrella actually have a chance to be added for a canon story mode, which would be a pretty big update. Black Dahlia and Marie did pretty well in the polls and while Umbrella wasn't that great, if she was released with the canon story, that wouldn't be too much of an issue.

It would make a lot of sense if the pass included Marie, Umbrella and Dahlia. The only one of those who wasn't very popular in their campaign was Umbrella, but I'm sure they can add her if they seek to make a big story mode.

Sorry for the offtopic, but which stuff from Skullgirls is MUGENized? I haven't found much, actually...

You are correct. Not much has been converted into MUGEN from Skullgirls. I would suspect the large amount of sprites would be a turn off for some.

I'm very excited that Skullgirls is in active development. Having a hand drawn HD fighting game is always a joy in my book :yuno:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
The fact that I absolutely suck at it, and I understand nothing about how to be competent at this game despite the fact that I've tried to pick it up several times, BUT STILL!!! They'll always have my money regardless.

So, who's last to arrive on that list?
Probably Marie, but I am struggling to think on how to put her down as a playable character when the boss version of her is right here.

So, long time ago, in 2016, I sent a PM to the Skullgirls official Facebook page about which characters they needed to make a canon story mode, and they answered: (https://i.imgur.com/UmlgaGu.jpg)
It would make a lot of sense if the pass included Marie, Umbrella and Dahlia. The only one of those who wasn't very popular in their campaign was Umbrella, but I'm sure they can add her if they seek to make a big story mode.
It's definitely Marie, like they said it was necessary for the canon story. It can go multiple ways:
They'll just make the boss version playable, assuming that the canon story will compensate for the lack of originality (unlikely)
They'll discard the current boss form and make the playable version cheap and have that replace the boss version, being basically like SF3 Gill (possible)
Just let her have two movesets, one playable like a normal character for the players and keep the non-playable one where it is as a boss (most likely)

Playable Marie will probably just be a different character altogether. Kinda like in JoJo Heritage where you had playable Vanilla Ice and boss Vanilla Ice.
