Haha~ I do the Unofficial PR thing at cons all the time too and I totally understand!
Also, ggs on the SFxT rip - that was a quality line.
Question for Mike Z:
What do you think about an arcade version of SkullGirls? Any thoughts or plans for one?
I think it would do well in Japan, at least. They have that fancy NESiCAxLive deal and arcades are more popular in general for fighting games over there.
Posting here instead of PM because I’m curious about other people’s opinions of an SG arcade version, too.
Thoughts YES! Plans…especially for Japan…can’t say. (^.~)
Your words imply ambiguity, but your emoticon suggests that the plan will promote good-feelings.
Arcade version of SG would be awesome. It would also get these Jamaica players to actually play the game, since they don’t touch games unless there’s a stream for it that they can look at (preferably a Japanese stream).
arcade skullgirls would be fucking awesome. hopefully some US/canadian arcades get it too.
An arcade edition is one of the smartest things regarding sg that I’ve heard… Will definitely get
Ore japs to play and subsequently more of the rest of the world.
-dime
What would an arcade version be beyond just an Arcade port of the main SG? I mean, I don’t know if it’s going to promote further play by the people who already own the game, so I don’t know if it’s /the/ smartest thing regarding SG I’ve heard. It’d be very very cool, but so would lobbies one can Spectate/stream.
Say no more.
I personally think it would be wise that the total character roster reach around 12 characters first before a japanese arcade port should happen. It would have a stronger initial impact and decrease the likelihood of the game being overshadowed by the other fighters present. However, I’m all for japanese localization release at this point.
Yeah but who’s gonna release it? they need a strong arcade publisher.
ArcSys is out of the picture since they just released P4 for arcades.
Then there’s Cave, which might be a sound choice, but they’re largely known for Shmups
Sega and Namco? Naaaaaah.
It would be awesome if the Arcade version was just on a PS3 in a cabinet (as many new arcade machines are either PS or PC) and the player had the option to play arcade mode or “network” mode where it would search for online opponents- either from different arcade cabinets or home players on PS3. And if the arcade cabinets had cameras to see the other players reactions from other cabinets before/after match. There’s lots of freaking potential!
Lots of video games did a feature where you could see the other players reactions when you defeated them. This feature pretty much always fell flat on it’s face because nobody ever hooked up a cam so you could see. When they did hook it up, they normally weren’t mad so it was just a dude lookin really chill.
Most notably Burnout Paradise.
The patch…I can smell it…
How so? Not even Mike knows when it’s coming
sixth sense O_O
I’m getting hyped again. I’ll just set myself up for failure and start squealing again for the patch. Nonetheless, I hope you’re right!! -begins to squeal in corner-
i just thought of something that HAS to be in the patch.
the little cat thing that sometimes pops out when you hit with lock n load? give it a hit box of some kind so i can use the DP+LP reflect move and shoot it across the screen! Genius right? ive always wanted to shoot a cat at people!
please mike Z make my dream come true!
edit : 2 likes! other people want to shoot cats too! MORE!
this whole patch coming out thing, seems like its taking a very long time : (
Dammit thought it was out
