But I didnt make a thread… I just posed a question to everyone, who was willing to give a valid answer/reasoning, on the 3rd page. You you didnt have to answer. Also I had no idea that everyone except myself (and Peacock) apparently hated Minette here… Thats crazy!
She sure did make it to top 4 which means shes popular in certain circles, on that I will agree. But my question was post-round 1, after Eliza’s victory, suddenly the hate faucet turned up to scathing with people celebrating her loss as if a tyrannical dictator had been removed from power.
Why so? You cant fault me for being curious and asking everyone in a completely rational way, why the hate? Also I’m down to hear out your opinion, I totally get Zero-Shift’s and I respect it. Why? Because he does what someone does with an opinion, bases his response off of his own feelings and his observations made while forgoing the need to “capitalize” and change his opinion into fact as Wolfe (among others) has done above.
*Minette hate and defending is both overblown. Minette isn’t a terrible character design aesthetically but it’s not earth shattering either (at least for me). Her gameplay design sounds interesting but not as interesting as other concepts that other potential characters have. Her being able to attack with her customers offscreen ala Jill in MvC2 and Parasoul does already is cool. Her confidence mechanic sounds pretty cool in it’s own right but I think people who don’t want Minette want someone who is more divergent from what the cast already supplies.
Or they straight up would prefer a different type of gameplay style to get in. It’s not that she’s a bad character it’s that she’s COMPARATIVELY bad in the eyes of people who don’t want her getting in.*
I don’t know why you are so mean to me TRUEB7UE. If I remotely cared what people on the internet thought about me, I’d be truly hurt right now.
It is unfortunate but true that people with tank arms (Panzerfaust) do not get the respect they deserve in the Skull Girls forums. Which is why I’m going for Beowolf as my primary next round, and encourage all manly voters to jump on the Beowolf bandwagon.
You should be happy people indulged your high sodium posts about Minette at all. Does it matter why people don’t like Minette? She lost, and that’s all that matters.
Wolfe bb, I have nothing against you personally (or even remotely here on these forums), we all just conversed on a topic and you replied more often than others. We have different opinions? Well, that’s life for you. Remember you’re the one who asked me to leave because of my opinions, not the other way around my friend. I never held it against you, the only thing I did hold was your positioning, to the fire, (opinions still don’t equal fact <3) as well as attempted postulations as they were the weakest parts of your arguments.
Vote for Panzer, Wolf, or whomever! But whomever you vote for, don’t do it because the majority, do it because it matters to you. You paid into the campaign which entitles you to your say, as did I. I think I’ve made it abundantly clear this vote isn’t all about me or you, it’s all of us coming together to elect a new character. Whether Panzer, Minette, or anyone else makes it will be up to all of us to decide on. My problem wasn’t with Minette losing, it never was (in an alternate reality where she won the first round, I’m positive I still would have posed the same question), but an attempt to understand why she was so openly hated. Did I get the answers I was looking for? To some degree, yes. Did it validate the hate for me (or for anyone else here who was questioning the same thing)? Not really. Did I ever reach maximum salt? Not even close (it’s hard to detect emotion while reading text, but thats “interneting 101”), even now.
I’ve had my fill, as I’m sure everyone else has had at this point, this is going nowhere fast and theres no point to further it now. I apologize for disrupting this thread.
I’m pretty sure people got the idea from the constant mentioning of Roll as an influence, and the concept of moves involving her tripping over.
Also, you listed three characters with barely anything in common as where her playstyle would end up, so I’m not entirely convinced even you know what you’re voting for.
Stanley’s been a ‘meme’ if you want to think of him as one since before the game even came out. If that’s the newest meme about the game, then the community’s really let themselves stagnate a bit with the jokes.
You don’t understand rule 34. It’s kinda a precious you don’t and as a result I wouldn’t want you to.
As a Minette hater I think Minette’s design is earth shattering so to speak and I believe that’s the primary reason she has been getting votes. Her design is very unique and well executed.
She’s just in the back chilling, drinking the tears and blood of heartbroken Minette, Annie (, and Aeon??) fans. She’s a strong independent (black?) woman who don’t need no man.
Look I didn’t mean to seem that way but I was just upset at all of the Minette hate and false criticism out there that I just really wanted people to not look at her as some “boring cute waitress who can’t fight” which she is the total opposite of.
I don’t care if people don’t like her, if you don’t then all right. I just don’t want people trashing her and making her seem like she’d be totally useless and make her seem like her being in would be the worse thing ever.
Also, Mike Z likes her and had many interesting ideas for her such as him and the other Skullgirls devs being included in her moves. And she is one of his favorites so you should automatically know she’ll be fun
Right, I wasn’t trying to suggest that they’re similar, I was just trying to think of different ways that she’d utilize her “assists”. I’d be happy with all possibilities. But I guess you’re right that we genuinely know less about where she’s going to end up, compared to most of the cast.
Really, this isn’t particularly a flaw with Minette; there aren’t actually that many characters we have much for at all. Looking at the top 8, all of them have either extremely vague ‘we could do this’, or ‘this would be their gimmicky but they’d play like something else’. I gave up trying to vote for gameplay because of in round 3, because the only character who’s gameplay I liked (Molly’s ‘would be kinda like Tron’) was gone.
Aeon-Can apparently do anything
Annie-Has space themed stuff
Beowulf-Does moves with a chair
Eliza-Has blood, is a stance fighter
Isaac-Can call himself as an assist
Minette-Has customers
Panzerfaust-Can use the tank in his moves
Stanley-lolIdunnotechstuff
Its all vague as fuck. This obviously isn’t Lab Zero’s fault, its hard to get concrete stuff down so far in advance. I don’t even know where I’m going with this but if Mike Z wants Feng he should hurry up and reveal she’s the trap so I can vote for her.
I love Minette. I’ve voted for her since the beginning. She’s my 2nd favorite character personality in Skullgirls, has a Level-up system, and is a much needed keep-away character. Just because people aren’t constantly praising Minette doesn’t mean that they are against her.
Oh mkay. I know I’m not talking about everyone I mean just the people who trash her. Forget the fanbase, I mean just her as a character. People say she and Stanley are counter reproductive and doesn’t look like a fighter. Or she would be useless and has no place in. I even saw a guy go as far as to saying the day she is added would be the final day he’d support this game.
What is up with people wanting Feng to be a trap? I’ve heard people saying a character is a trap, but Feng seems to be a lightning rod for this particular conspiracy theory. Where did it start?
