It pains me to buy a fighter with only 8 characters, even at budget price. Is there a lot of content, at least?

I admit that I'm only vaguely familiar with Skullgirls, but I came in to say...

Content? In a fighting game?

It's supposed to have some content! Tutorials or something. I'm not expecting like a Blazblue story mode, just something to make it interesting if I can't find anyone to play against.

I've been playing the demo.
It's really fun! And the art is cool.

And it's good to support smaller studios =]

I bought it. Realized that I paid that much for GG1, it's good to get in on the ground floor of fighters, I had a few PSN funbucks... In short, I talked myself into a leap of faith.

It was pretty cool.

I'm interested in buying it, especially if the community takes to it.

Wonder how Japan is gonna like it, the style is up their alley.

I saw some translated comments from people on 2ch hating, but that's to be expected.

I know there's already a fair amount of Japanese fan art, of both the SFW and NSFW variety, too.

It's got a very detailed storymode, which is designed to teach you how to play alongside the tutorials, with a big story, THE best tutorials ever in a fighting game (arguably, the only ones that will teach you how to play like a pro), and some incredibly polished mechanics. It's absolutely worth buying.

PS: Also, it has the most hype super move ever. Ultimate Showstopper is the hypest way to win a match ever.

That's not how you spell Nightmare Legion, Megalith Array, or Dead on Arrival

actually I could see Megalith Array being anti-hype depending on the situation, like a lame-out chip win. Though if you've got 5 stock in a chip out situation you probably should have won already anyway.

If you can't slam with the best, then jam with the rest.

No way man - you can't follow the character's lead while commentating with those moves. In contrast, it's totally legit to go 'Aaaaand get ready for a SHOWSTOPPER!' while doing comments and it'll be mad hype.

EDIT: That said, a win by Goodfellas or Rebirth Ex Machina would also be acceptably hype. Maybe Inferno Brigade too.

I dunno, more hype than taking them to court?

Cerebella is the only one I can play as so far. Harder than Marvel, nowhere near as tough as SF.

a 3s SRK member had this to say:

Played some morons online in 3SOE. Goddamn... Encountered some of the most random and nonsensical mashing. Like a Dudley target combo or just cr.LK, then immediate s.HP or EX MGB. It was laggy enough that it was working so I had to dumb it down because if I tried anything that was advanced they'd mash something out and it would work because it's online.

BTW: I played Skullgirls. I can't really get into the Gameplay but the online is f***ing amazing. It shows ping (a number-based ping... Holy s*** right?) and you can search by region like EC or WC or South America or wherever. No lobbies but who gives a f***, right? Oh, and before you fight someone you can adjust the GGPO delay. I played one dude in WC and another guy EC at 104 ping and it was f***ing amazing.

It pisses me off so much that THIS is what 3SOE should have been and we got so f***ed over guys. I really think we should firebomb Iron Galaxy and Capcom USA's offices. It pisses me off that much. It's the biggest insult to the 3S community.


I left in the stuff about 3s for comparison sake. GGPO style netcode can be good or sketchy as hell 3SOE style. Sounds like Skullgirls is legit good.

Infinitely more, because you can't come back with the court super - you're already ahead if you have it.

My verdict is it's utterly charming. The gameplay gets pretty hectic and the tutorial is more of a crash course than a college course, but it is fun to play and I feel like the tutorial taught me a thing or two.

tutorial taught me how to throw-tech, if nothing else, and teching throws is something i've, historically, been garbage at.

oh man weaku go down to your local comedy club's open mic night because that's gold right there

i meant the timing of it. i've never been able to get it down and i've never been in a situation where i got to practice it. skullgirls dropped me in a situation where i had to do it multiple times in a row out of mix-up situations where the AI varied when it would go for the throw. and the frame for teching isn't very wide in skullgirls.

also what is the throw tech window in Skullgirls? IIRC it's 3 frames in 3s and 5 frames in SSF4
