Anyone remember where it was that Mike explained the input window system for the game?

Mike_Z:

Yes, normals to supers work anytime. Chains work on block, as to whether they’re true blockstrings…that depends on the chain. WK->HP may combo or not combo, and if it combos it may have no hole on block, or it might. Generally there isn’t anything that doesn’t combo and yet has no hole on block, but that kinda makes intuitive sense. Input windows in SG aren’t defined the same way they are in Capcom games, it seems. In original ST, for example, I remember from a Sirlin article you had 8 to 1…

This post?

Is Mike’s math wrong at the end or am I missing something? It says 16 but isn’t that 18 frames?

LKArtillery · 2011-12-21T00:16:36.000Z

Hmm… will there ever be an update to the loading screens after the character select? Like a VS splash or something?

SRWPyrit · 2011-12-21T00:40:48.000Z

I hope it’s as hype as Marvel Vs Street Fighter’s with the characters jumping up from the bottom of the screen. That’s my favorite.

I’m a fan of xmen vs sf versus screen

Mike_Z · 2011-12-21T05:59:36.000Z

Concerning the palette-flipping thing, what exactly allows the game to do that?

Um, it isn’t hard, multiple palettes are used in a lot of things (MvC2 Colossus armor, Storm lightning, etc). That particular example is just have one palette that has, say, colors 0-15 blue / 16-31 red, and another with them reversed, and use the correct one when he’s on the correct side. It only works with Gill because he’s actually symmetrical, so all they have to do is change which palette is used and which fireball he throws…whereas for characters that change art like have one arm or whatnot, you would have to draw two separate frames for each animation frame, which is prohibitively lots of work.

It’s 18. I believe Mike corrected himself in a later post.

Noble_Cactus · 2011-12-21T06:20:06.000Z

Oh, d’oh. That was silly of me. Thank you though.

Master_Chibi · 2011-12-21T07:05:49.000Z

Hey Mike, I’m curious if you make the characters to handle certain gameplay types, or if you make them to handle each other?

Perhaps both?

drexciyan · 2011-12-21T07:44:25.000Z

Nope, it counts as a jumpin. When you land or move to the next section it counts as your ground combo or your air combo depending.

Totally confused by this now, specifically:

j.MK > j.HP xx air dash, j.MP - The 1st loop, ignored by IPS, ending when the attacking character hits the ground.

how come the j.MP doesn’t start a new section? Is it like the later free jump section in that everything until you land counts as one section unless you reset your jumps?

Also the third and fourth sections (as listed):

[LIST]
[]s.MP > s.HK xx qcf+LK - The 3rd loop, and the first watched by IPS. IPS sees s.MP as the opening move of the chain and the loop ends with a non-cancelled special move. Even if there was an infinite detected here, the Infinite Escape will not trigger on the third loop.
[]s.MP (land) > s.HK xx qcf+LK - The 4th loop, starting with s.MP, ending with a non-cancelled special move. s.MP will trigger infinite detection if used to start a loop for the third time.
[/LIST]

that 3rd section can’t be watched by IPS, right? If it was, the s.MP that begins the 4th section would have triggered IPS. seems like the third listed section is actually the second free ground section, which is ignored by IPS.

Razerfane · 2011-12-21T07:53:17.000Z

Yeah I’m hoping for some “real” post-match menu’s and a VS splash screen

The last time I asked Mike about this the conversation ended with “Oh god please not the face!”

Does Skullgirls have team aerial counter? When will the Skullgirls Forum open?

No TAC, switching characters is actually supposed to have a cost in this game, like Marvel 2

Ravidrath · 2011-12-21T09:52:57.000Z

When will the Skullgirls Forum open?

Not really sure what’s going on with the forum right now - Autumn is going back and forth on whether or not they want to moderate it or not.

If it happens, it’ll probably be around launch when there’s more than speculation to talk about.

Will moderate for Marin DLC

DaRabidDuckie · 2011-12-21T10:35:47.000Z

I’m so grateful for the shimapan palette for Valentine that’d I’d moderate, too.

I would moderate the forum. You dont even have to pay me, I’ll do it for free

Zebster · 2011-12-21T12:29:49.000Z

Would like to moderate for Marie’s forum (if she’s in)

Mr.X · 2011-12-21T12:45:56.000Z

Mike, why did that not kill?

d3v · 2011-12-21T12:56:29.000Z

I’d help moderate if you’re in need of volunteers. Community can’t be as bad as Unity now, can it?
