no thanks. Game is pretty much what i expected, which is to say not much and not something im interested in.
Game’s too lopsided on the risque for me. There’s an art to working it in well and Skullgirls does it with the subtlety of a Playboy magazine.
The art design is one of a few things that make me want nothing to do with it. The rest pretty much involve Mike Z’s “logic”.

whats wrong with it?
Jay didn’t deserve that win. Fraudulent win.
Nerfing a character because he doesn’t like the way a random Midwest player beat all his l33t BFF’s with her is a start.
I tried the demo for a bit. It seems like it’d be kinda fun. That said, I just think it should have this as a title - “Skullgirls: The Game You Play Only Because No One Will Play Arcana Heart 3 Anymore”. Also, I think watching high level play of it will get boring if only for the fact that people already hate it when games have a small selection of characters at the top. Take a game with only 8 characters already and watch THAT whittle down to top tier.
And yeah, the style is awkward. And when I think a game’s art style is awkward, that means it’s awkward. I mean, I main Mai, Dizzy, and Elena for Christ’s sake.
loooool to be fair there was some blatant stuff I abused. Crouching MK being -0 on block was pretty busted and needed to be nerfed >.>. Also Cereacopter had a messed up hurtbox that made it pretty much broken. Although he was pretty salty when I won haha. You guys should give it a chance tho it’s pretty fun :D.
Listen, i could pull out a laundry list of why Mike Z is a really poor choice to ever design a fighting game, that being said, he’s made something that a lot of players so far enjoy and i’m not one to tell people to put down a game just because I have issues with it’s design and overall gameplan. There is a reason, however, most guilty gear players don’t think much of Mike Z as a player, while a lot of Blazblue players think he’s amazing…
^That is true about mike.
I do find the game fun though, something else to play.
Yes, SOMETHING ELSE. More like, SOMETHING ELSE??? - for me. Just going to focus on SF and KOF. If I get the chance to play the game for a significant amount of time, I might play it. I doubt it though. Also the character issue Mike brought up definitely doesn’t help.
This is kind of a huge thing for me, too. If I want a casual diversion, I have roughly 50 other fighters to play. If I want a game I’m serious about right this second, I already have SF4 and KOF13. If I want something to play for fun that’s current, you DID see that SFxT, UMVC3 and SC5 all came out somewhat recently, right? Or I could just pop in Arcana Heart 3.
Yeah, it’s only 15 bucks, but when it gets down to it the issue is with time, not money.
Oh, and I feel like a complete and total fucking mouth-breathing pervert playing it. MORE than Arcana Heart 3. MORE than Bayonetta. EVEN MORE than whatever Syxx’s favorite anime is. I told Rene last night, "I just finished watching Game of Thrones, then popped Skullgirls in and said, ‘Damn, there’s a lot of fan-service.’ " Says something about how reluctant I’ll be about playing this game in public. Or around my wife, for that matter.
I’m glad Iowa apparently isn’t wetting their pants over that game like everyone else seems to be.
There’s just too much to play right now, and none of the characters are very inspiring or interesting to me. I’m willing to learn more about them before judging too harshly, but for the most part I’m scared to have faith in balance for a game thats so close to home.
I really don’t think FGC has the rationality to balance a game without clear direction, and even then you’d be hard-pressed to find people who are really willing to keep playing a game that changes every so often when something seems “cheap.” Other then that, the gameplay just isn’t very special to me. I really think MvC3 was the biggest catalyst in lowering everyone’s standards in fgs if skullgirls is the most honest thing so many people are looking forward to.
The music is okay though. <3
If a game is fun i’ll play it, that’s all i’m saying. Focusing on one or 2 games or trying to play anything competitively is not something i do anymore. Though most conversations after games end up as “i should play that more” but then i don’t
When my wife saw the game she was suprised that it only had females and actually played it a bit. The only other fighter she ever touched was Vampire Savior because she liked Morigan in puzzle fighter. Whiskey induced post go.
Anyway fun games are fun.
It’s time for a good ol fashioned Klaige drunk post…
Rules about games:
-
Mike Z designed shit-sauce. he drinks shitsuace like fine wine, he loves gimmicks, not good games. I watched Heartnana OWN HIS SHIT in my hotel room at Evo 4 years ago. It was amazing. If you worship mike Z, you are a supreme scrub, plane and simple… beeer.

If its an arc-sys game, the road of iowa goes through me. I dont give a fuck what you think about games. I know this genre, i spent years learning the highest level. I LOVE, ME , SOME ,ARCSYSSYSY. When P4 comes out, im gonna be in that ass, when GGXXAC gets re-released. It’s gonna be buttfuck central whilest i teach you all how its done. There’s nothing wrong with this, just know Ima make it count with these games.
2a. Do you know frame data on butterfly trap…do you know FRC On option select…do you know i can bait burst simply by doing BnB’s while pushing 1 extra button? No? You’ll get wrecked…but thats ok…that’s how we learn. And thats how i’ll teach you the way or arc-sys. I <3 arc sys. Goddamn I love it.
3b.point4.dash7.colum9. I love iowa. I love that you guys play games. I played games for so long thinking no one tried to learn shit in this state. I left all the time trying to get good at games i cared about. I cant tell you how fucking awesome it is to go to Cedar Rapids, enter a Kof tourney, and have more than 10 people enter. That is the coolest fucking thing ever to me. I never thought i’d get comp in this state…now i have it 5 minutes from my house. Seriously…that rocks my fucking face off. Great job Iowa.
- I love you all…i love games…i love 2d fighters. Dont let em die…dont let it fade. Keep playing…keep training…keep up the good fight. This shit pays off. You are aweomse iowa, and if you stop being awesome i will FRC fuck your mom. That is all.
Love…drunk…beer…and love…

For those of you who enjoy hitting buttons while in Dubuque on Tuesday nights, we’ll be doing our normal gaming night at Comic World (willing I don’t get HIV or something before then). 6:00 p.m., UMVC3 tourney ($3) first, followed by a free-to-enter Skullgirls tournament.
He implies he doesn’t wrap… keep it safe man
