I have a certain aversion to this kind of mentality as well, I think some do not see past story being “just some additional” stuff in Fighting Games.
IMO, a Story enhances a fighting game and makes sense of the designs within it. I mean, if all you care is just the gameplay, then let’s just have CYCLOID type designs and just make the body proportions different. >:/
Fairly sure, I would say. The story pictures pretty clearly showed her grabbing her up and squeezing her into a gem. Also, when anyone in the other stories made a wish, the Skullheart helpfully analyzed that wish. Why wouldn’t it do that here?
Also, I seem to remember someone of moderate authority confirming that as well (skullgirls-chan?)
Yep, she crushed her into a gem.That’s also why one picture is of Vice Versa closing his hands around Ms. before show a gem within them. Why? Simple, Cerebella’s actual wish was to make Vitale love her, but it got twisted into a hybrid love of Cerebella as a daughter and a lover. I thought someone confirmed that.
How many times should I restate the same thing? >_>
Story is ALREADY written. All characters, stages, dialogues, quotes, special moves even are what they are BECAUSE OF story behind them. Now what you’re trying to say is "I’m okay with having those unique characters, abilities and stages but fuck the actual reasoning behind all of those. Nobody cares."
I care. And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one. I know that FGs can get away with having shitty story and I’m okay with them not going extra mile to make something better. But SG already has its amazing plot. I know that competitive players will be perfectly fine with not knowing a thing about it but I can’t see why Ahad’s ideas and labor should go to waste just because genre has such low standards.
Not to mention that SG already raised the bar in many departments. Story one will be easiest of them all. RL should just do it!
So, we never really figured out who Filia’s parents were, we only know that they’re Medici. Do you think they’ll be relevant? Hell for all we know Vitale could be her older brother (not seriously suggesting that btw).
