Ever try playing with friends? Fighting only CPUs isn't that great. If you don't have anyone to play with, that's what ranked and player matches are for.

The tutorials in the main game had better ease you into combo execution, because by the last demo lesson I was not capable of storing all those moves in my mind.

It's all in the muscle memory really. Combos can get pretty long.

2LK, 2MP, MK(2), HP, 236HPx2-236K, 2MP, HK, j.MP, j.HP, AD, j.MK(2), j.214[HP],land, 2MK, HK, j.LK, j.MK(2), j.214HK+214HP

yeahhhhhhh

Good to see a Skullgirls thread here. Stickied, even. :)

So far, I'm liking Valentine and Cerebella. Valentine's needles can easily ruin someone's day, especially Type B.

My freinds dont play fighting games, they are all Call of Duty fans when it comes to online gaming besides playing online on a fighting game just dosent work too well because if your new to it you'll never win just like with Arcana Hearts 3, i was never able to win in that game online

It's your own fault for losing. You have to learn a lot in fighting games and you can't expect to win all the time.

This game is brand new, most people who are playing it now are new to the game entirely.

Day 2 of Skullgirls, learning a charge character is hard ;.;

Other than that, I'm in love with Parasoul.

Just note she has really short charge times, and her being a chain based character makes it easier to charge during combos.

LK Egret assist can cancel your throw as well so use that.SRK has a thread on Parasoul combos and stuff. Check that out.

Yeah, it feels like her charges are quite short but I can't seem to get the timing just right. When I whiff them, it feels like I stopped charging a moment too soon and when it works, it feels like I charged a moment too long. Oh well. A week of practicing in training mode and I'll eventually get the hang of it.

I've been wondering when to work in the LK Egret. Thanks. Think I'll try to practice that in training mode. I'll probably check out the SRK thread later. I want to keep experimenting in training mode for a bit longer and see what combos I can come up with that feel comfortable for me.

As nice as the neogaf thread! I bought this earlier for the PSN, selected the story mode on normal and selected Parasoul randomly. This game is "challengingly" fun! I admit I was just button mashing at first, but after using the usual fighting motion moves, I got the hang of it and beat it. The boss was the most challenging! When playing though I thought to myself that I need a fighting stick for this. I give this game an 8.5, excellent new fighting game!

I wish I could record stuff, I have a pretty decent combo with valentine. You can start it however as long as you get into launcher so

c.LK -> c.MP.->C.HP->SJC->a.MP (wait out the hits)->a.HK->ADC (on second hit of a.HK)->a.MP (wait out the hits)->s.LP->s.LP->s.MP (follow up into the saw and wait out the hits, you do this by hitting s.MP again)->s.MK (wait out the hits but be quick)->HK -> HK -> HK (3 hit combo using HK)->throw syringe (if loaded)->Super (whichever you feel like using lvl 3 works to).

Or you can go into a relaunch combo at the end of s.MK but you have to make sure you use different inputs in the air or it will detect as an infinite.

It seems to score in the eight point. range as Gametrailers gave it a 8.3, while IGN gave it a 8.5.

I got a chance to play it last night.

My team:

Double (on point) & Peacock.

I don't know any of Double's combos - so I abuse her special when she calls out the Ms. Fortune heads and spam jabs into the aerial combo, into the truck Super. Really hate her dash because I forget where she's going to pop up, but overall my fav character in the game.

Peacock has great keep away, but I haven't learned any of her fundamentals/ground game...

An 8.0 is a pretty good score. Skullgirls is doing pretty well critically.

AtlanticRock

Use a lot of multi-hit/hard-hitting moves, especially supers. The moves don't combo, so they aren't scaled. Otherwise, you just need patience.

Here's a Cerebella combo I put up yesterday. I haven't been using my PVR much lately, so I figure I should start again now that I'm into SG.

The corner combo I use for Cerebella is

c.LK>c.MP>c.HP> j.HP>land>c.LP>c.MP>s.HK>Cerecopter>Super>c.LK>c.MK>j.MP>j.HK>land>s.MP>c.HP>j.LP(mash to restand)>land>s.LP-LP>s.MP>s.Hk>Cerecopter>Super

The j.HP is instant and allows for the c.lp to restand everyone but Double if timed correctly, j.MP-HK has a delay between the hits that has HK restand (I think MP technically restands them, HK just hits them right as that happens.) The delay is larger on smaller characters.

Does somewhere between 8-9k on 1v1.

edit: Holy ****, I knew you were familiar from somewhere (SRK).

A lot of the endings are fairly sad or bitter sweet.

Apparently only one is canon, and I feel like thats Ms. Fortunes.

Who knows.
