Double is brilliant… fricking brilliant. That was like… 30 seconds… and it was brilliant. Completely… fricking… brilliant.

Shurokun · 2012-02-17T11:29:34.000Z

Pretty sure she is DLC. I am waiting for Leduc

Double was literally destroying people. I do have to ask. Is it possible to use Double as a assist but have her come out as different people sort of like how Zorua and Zoroak does in Pokemon?

Also, I see this pic.

Does this mean those other characters are confirm as DLC?

Bedazzle · 2012-02-17T11:34:32.000Z

Does this mean Marie is going to be an unplayable boss character and then sold as mostly on disc dlc a month later?

Or is the game just going to have 2 midbosses and no final boss?

DRaGZ141 · 2012-02-17T11:34:43.000Z

hmmm

this makes me believe that we never actually fight Marie in the story mode. at least not until DLC and stuff is complete.

If that is the case, then perhaps the story mode is a lot less straightforward than previously thought.

Slayer0 · 2012-02-17T11:35:44.000Z

Am I the only one that thinks a final boss will be Valentine/Double team, and Valentine’s AI will build up max meter then tag out so when Double dies, she can revive her?

Arachnofiend · 2012-02-17T11:36:14.000Z

I’m in complete awe of Double right now.

What a gorgeously twisted character.

Why is she so beautiful?

She can be whoever you want her to be, honey.

I don’t think story mode anything is getting answered still.

Shurokun · 2012-02-17T11:37:03.000Z

Slayer don’t give them any ideas lol

Jet_Set_Dizzy · 2012-02-17T11:39:00.000Z

So Mike can you say if Marie is an unplayable boss or not?

Mike_Z · 2012-02-17T12:13:24.000Z

Marie […] mostly on disc dlc a month later?

The only one of the Marie questions I will address is this…and I promise you, THAT isn’t happening. With the amount of work that goes into a character for us, mostly-on-disc-DLC is kinda impossible.

Still can’t say jack about story mode, guys.

DRaGZ141 · 2012-02-17T12:16:12.000Z

The only other possibility…

…is that Marie is the ninth character.

UrIeNaToR · 2012-02-17T12:19:00.000Z

with the 8th chacracter reveal, are the rest going to be dlc?

Shurokun · 2012-02-17T12:19:53.000Z

Marie is so powerful that she breaks the laws of Skullgirls’ creator words and becomes the 9th character, eh?

Edit:

So far. Either unlockable or dlc.

Kavitee · 2012-02-17T12:22:24.000Z

So does Dubs have stances, or what?

Mr.X · 2012-02-17T12:24:28.000Z

So does Dubs have stances, or what?

There’ll be a walkthrough soon

Arachnofiend · 2012-02-17T12:29:12.000Z

Can Double imitate men? I need this information for radical plot theories.

Eternal · 2012-02-17T12:29:38.000Z

Everyone here has done things like work 80-plus-hour weeks with no overtime (and made many more sacrifices I can’t mention) to make this game, without being forced to, and I resent the insinuation that the dev team is just doing it for a paycheck and some “shipped game” cred.

Meanwhile at Reverge headquarters:

Mike_Z · 2012-02-17T12:30:24.000Z

The only thing I’ll say about Double is this - we did actually animate/clean up moves for other characters specifically for her. So for everyone who says “of course it’s Double, she takes no effort”, nope, same effort.

[edit] Believe it or not, ever since I wrote that bit about sacrifices I was sorta waiting for that. Thank you.

Shurokun · 2012-02-17T12:32:07.000Z

Cover your heart!

But seriously I appreciate everything the Dev team is doing to put this game out as fast as you can.

I am happy that I changed a lot of people’s minds about Skullgirls.

Edit:

Wtf, Mike so you do sacrifice people?! I am staying away from you!!

Glad to appease you o’ god of old.

BTW, try not to take that stupid shit so personal. It’ll burn you out. But glad to see you passionate about your product. I’m usually against DLC characters and gameplay affecting content due to how companies handle it (day zero DLC for instance.) As long as you guys DON’T do “on disk” DLC you’ve got my money (assuming it comes to PC)

I can understand the idea that double is a copout (I don’t agree with it, but I can UNDERSTAND it) because people didn’t bother to do any research before getting mad. However the idea that you guys are just trying to “make a game and cut a check” is downright ignorant. Reverge isn’t exactly a large studio and the amount of work you put it is on par with any triple A title. I bet your team isn’t even 1/3rd the size of the team that made SF4 or 3rd Strike, and I also bet that the budget wasn’t even 10% of what those games had.

P.S. Please talk with whoever does your marketing and such to consider doing a “season pass” option where you can buy the game and all future DLC at once :3
