The Official Skullgirls Hype Thread (56k Off The Set!) - 8.0 @ GameSpot

Eh. It looks OK. There are too few characters it seems like and one of them is a mimic character to boot.

That and while I'm sure it's been pointed out, you posted this to release in 2011 instead of 2012.

For $15 and how unique everyone is (yes, even the mimic character. Her moves were reanimated that looked like other characters moves, and her specials are from older concept art that wasn't use in the final character designs.) I don't think the roster size is an issue.

The game was originally slated for release in 2011 before it was delayed.

[QUOTE="nini200"]It's the simple fact that they downplayed the game just because it WAS a Wii Exclusive and using ridiculous excuses such as "Nobody knows the characters". Isn't the point of fighting games , to LEARN the characters anyway? The fact is, this game proves the fact that fanboys of other consoles were just using that lame excuse to downplay a Wii Game that they wanted but since they didn't have it on their system, they instantly had to come up with a crap excuse to why it just couldn't be a good game. Mind you TvC is basically the EXACT same setup as MvC minus the Xfactor and NOBODY know Rocket Raccoon but as I stated earlier, he was the winning character in most of the tournaments alongside cheesefested Zero of course. So the fact that people like this game and don't know the characters AT ALL is proof that the excuse that they were using was utter BS.OneSanitarium

I honestly that RR was an under used/.

Eh.

While I agree the point of a FG is the game play and everything, in a cross over...knowing the characters is a bit more important in that sort of game.

And the game is on the wii, which is a completely logical reason to have a distaste for the game. There are pretty much no fighting games on the wii and most fighting game players will have either a PS3 or a 360.

And you really shouldn't be saying that THE POINT IS TO LEARN CHARACTERS. Didn't you have the No Mai No Buy thing?

Hye guize....you should all go to the PSN and search for Skullgirls...you know...just because.

Hey man, I'm a BlazBlue fan, so a small roster isn't a glaring issue, but even for $15 it really is a tiny cast if you ask me.

Well, I'm not asking you. BBCSEX had what....like 20 characters for $40?

At a bit less than half you get get a bit less than half of that amount.

lol? no. I just don't think it's small considering the price, indie devloper (and size of said team), and quality of the characters.

Yeah man he's raging, you got him good man completely owned that cow!!!

I'm messing around in tutorial mode right now. Think I might have to practice that mix up tutorial on a daily practice. It's good practice. Moving on to the punishing tutorial now.

The game is awesome! How does everyone else feel? I've only played the demo of course, but it's really fun.

I like it.

Going through the tutorial, since you need to to unlock the training stage...and because I want to see the tutorial.

The tutorial is pretty good.

It goes over normals, specials, supers, all the tag mechanics, how to go about offense, how to defend, how to tech throws, how to tech throws while also defending, and the combo system.

I'm so excited.

I'm having fun in Tutorial mode so far. Learned from the Throw tutorial that I'm not going to be able to escape from a throw to save my life, literally, lol.

OneSanitarium

Yeah, I'm really enjoying tutorial mode too. The intermediate tutorials were all pretty amazing. I'll probably come back to them repeatedly to practice some stuff. I'm checking out the combo tutorials now so no comment on them so far.

I skipped the tutorials since I only had a few minutes to play but yeah the boss is really annoying. Takes long to chip away health and has some attacks that day way too much damage. That and she just stands there, can't knock her downKaze_no_Mirai

Sounds like it's going to be pretty fun in a frustrating way ^,^

Well played.;)

Well I got it, game is pretty awesome. I play Valentine/Parasoul.

I have that "new game" sort of feeling where I know what I want to do but I don't have a full grasp on everything.

Cerebella has some pretty crazy grabs, had to take a while to see what I should and should not do around her.

Saw this on the stream last night.

Make Cerebellas assist her far grab (QCB+Throw) and call it when you pushblock.

It'll grab them because of the distance made with the pushblock. Looks koo.

Yeah, she can also quick grab off her light attacks since the hitstun is like nothing.

I've been mostly abusing parasoul's Air.HP that covers a ridiculous amount of space. She's kinda odd to use since her normals seem to be all over, I haven't figured out too much with her but she's fun.

Spent about two hours in training mode in the demo.

I think Filia is pretty good, but I can't wait to try out Parasoul. Might do a Parasoul/Filia team. So yeah, I've decided to buy the full version.

Remember to airdash cancel. Even on whiffed air moves!

Parasoul's air mobility is pretty eh. I guess she can float around but I'm not seeing the usefulness yet.

Shes more about poking and setting up traps.

And she has 2 command overheads, as well as one low one.

And she a meterless cancel from pretty much all of her moves with Light Egret call.

I couldnt stand 2 fights lol.. i guess i suck at fighting games, they get boring really fast for me sigh.. good thing i downloaded the demo or i would have regret it but the visuals are great in this game

Oh really? Didn't know about the meterless thing I did find out about the command overheads though.

im downloading the demo. Ill give it a whirl. 15 bucks is to ritch for my blood for any downloadble game. Going to be waiting for some sales. That is if I enjoy it.

[QUOTE="RurouniSaiyajin"]

[QUOTE="OneSanitarium"]

This **** has hitboxes! So good.

A lot of the features are going to be added in at a later date. The apparent reason for the for no moveset in game is because they a fairly hard to put in, and between good button config (press the button you want and it assigns it where you want. also its at the character select screen) and a move list or maybe better netcode and move list, they chose what they saw as more important. They put the HD PDFs on the site, but its getting a lot of traffic right now so its having trouble connecting.

OneSanitarium

I'm loving the hitboxes. Last night's stream was my first time seeing them. Almost died and went to heaven, lol.

Considering Skullgirls is being made by a small development studio, prioritizing other things above the movelist is understandable. I think I'll look at the HD PDFs when the traffic dies down. For now, I'll study up on Parasoul's moveset from one of the wikis while I wait.

I can't wait until the frame data is put up. I LOVE reading frame data.
