Skullgirls Gameplay Discussion Thanks For Playing

parasoul/mk bomber still has the most options out of any combination in the game from a fundamentals perspective

Its better than pillar, Pillar gets stuffed easily by copter. I would know since i use pillar assist. Sure cerebella would be a good char for me, but the char is gay and i’ve never liked cerebella.

First, lmao at the game being ASS after the patch…

2nd, you guys do know I have been saying (along with Mike) that EVERY character is broken in their own way. You can ask any top player (hell, ask anyone that plays, casual or expert) who they think the top 3 characters are and NO ONE will give the same answer as far as tiers go. That’s why this game is so good, every character is equally broken.

Its like XMvSF

My tiers in order

  1. Parasoul
  2. Painwheel
  3. Double
  4. Peacock
  5. Filia
  6. Valentine
  7. fortune
  8. bella

And I bet you none of you will agree. = GAME IS GODLIKE

I only played the patch for some hours at ect so far but I’m still 100% convinced this is the best team in the game regardless of it being patched or not

lol no kidding still got all that screen trouble, several get out of jail cards with 2 meters, raw tag combos, great set of footsies on each character, cover one another matchups.

Yeah, real Double players will continue to play her and do well with her I’m sure. Its just LK Bomber and Cerecopter already were overlapping a fair bit on my team assist-wise. I basically had them both so Cere could have the Lockdown assist. My Cerebella and Double are both pretty terrible and gimmicky compared to my Painwheel, so I should really learn one of them better. I feel ok on offense with Cerebella, but I’m terrible at the approach and at defense. With Double I wait for an obvious pattern and then HK bomber xx lvl 3 lol… so that doesn’t work anymore. Or I just try to space the opponent out until I can get above them and j.HP to start my offense.

Going to test out the other characters today, see what I can get going.

in any case, lp shot from parasoul or lk bomb from cock would be good assists to cover wheels approach, I would personally suggest lk bomb for the sake of having a reliable reversal, but copter is probs better for mixups/lockdown/damage, depends on how you play.

How is that good if everyone is broken? lmao thats retarded. There has to be a dominant, that’s what seperates games that thrive and do well in the community and games that don’t. Everyone likes broken stuff not equality.

There is a dominant character though anyway, so idk why you made that list.

I’ve played Stone plenty and others here in the tri-state area and elsewhere. I know the assist’s retarded.

She’s not the ‘new double’, not even anywhere remotely god damn close. Really good mind you, but not pre patch Double dumb.

So use Cerecopter and stop whining.

What the fuck are you going on?

This guy came in like 12 hours after the patch drops and says the game sucks now (without stating why) and then bitches about Cerecopter like no one had been using her for the past seven months?

Nah, that doesn’t fly with me. I know he’s better than me, good for him, still going to call him out on stupid shit.

doesnt change the fact that you are a mod and therefor need to present a bit more of a proffessional attitude now does it?

were you not a mod i wouldnt care… it would be laughs, i aint dudes babysitter. but when mods act unproffessional it makes the entire forum look the worse.
its why i would never be a mod, not that i’d ever be asked… as if.

Cerebella assist used to suck cause double was way better, it didnt matter if someone used the assist or not.

I’m just saying its a scrubbier game now. Less complete blow ups, now people get a chance to do something. I don’t like that.

I don’t understand this mentality. I don’t see how the easiest abusable factor of the game being mostly negated makes the game “scrubbier”.

I’m an SRK editor… so in terms of professionalism… this is how I feel.

Cerecopter is good… so? Listen there’s always going to be a best assist in the game, and that’s OK. Not all moves are created equal, and that’s fine. Assists weren’t equal in MVC2, MVC3, MVC… Aquapazza… or really any game that uses them. It’s OK to be good! If there weren’t any good assists then we couldn’t say there were bad ones!

Cerecopter is good, but handleable. I’ve played MANY good Cerebellas. We have plenty here on the east coast. Copter is tough to get around but it’s supposed to be. Assists are supposed to help you like that. If assists weren’t… like… assisting you, then what would be the point? If it makes you feel any better, its not the assist I have the most trouble with. I find Painwheels new pinion dashes and crouching MK, Fillia’s hairball, and Valentines throw far more frustrating when in capable hands. In capable hands ANYTHING can be made frustrating or broken. Heck I don’t even use copter, I use Excellabella for it’s reset potential.

Frankly, I never like the argument “play a good person using X and see how broken it is.” If a good player makes you look free, they are doing their job. I, for example, am free as shit against good peacock keep away teams. IDK WHY but I just am. I’m not going around saying Peacock needs serious nerfs.

But let’s just say that we nerf copter. What next? Do people start complaining about the next best assist like Pillar or something? Eventually the buck has to stop. Eventually we have to say it’s not the game, but the people playing it that are giving us trouble, and you can outplay a person, even if they do have a dirty piece of tech that makes it difficult.

Dude, as the Cerebella guy, I’m going to say that Cerecopter is cray cray.

it’s not broken, or overpowered, but it is cray cray, especially online.

That’s not to take anything away from Djslicer, he’s sick, his parasoul footsies are top and his Cerebella is beyond gimmick, but, fuck, Cerecopter is good, we just need to learn how to deal with it.

The patch you played at ect is not the same patch out now. Dude, you have to realize that sooner or later. =/

lol wtf. Game was better when you could just throw Double without thinking? Are you kidding me? Improve yourself so people still get less chances to do something regardless of the changes.

Also, how the fuck is anybody bitching about OP assists when a few days ago, we all had to deal with a literally broken Hornet Bomber? I know people are going to be mad abt it, but come on.

Cerecopter has always been amazing, just because it wasn’t invincible AND extended lock-down (which makes no sense when you think about ti) doesn’t mean it sucked. Just because Hornet Bomber was ridiculous doesn’t mean it sucked either. Put Bella on your team if you really think it’s OP, but I guarantee it doesn’t need any nerfs.

So I can’t call people out on their stupidity now because I’m the janitor?

Ok then…

Cerebella assist never used to suck, it was always really good. Double assist being borderline broken did not make it suck, nothing in the game made it suck by comparison, it was always good.

It’s also not scrubbier now. Stop running your mouth.

People will still be blown up for whatever reason.

God you are so full of yourself.

I’m not referring to double, tbh i could care less about double butt nerfs.

I know Cerecopter is cray cray, I’m not arguing that.

I’m arguing that it’s not pre patch Double assist good.

Which it isn’t.

Mine is.

1.Fortune (still, until proven otherwise)
2.Parasoul (so well rounded)
3.Painwheel (oh gawd)
4.Valentine
5.Filia
6.Double (until proven otherwise)
7.Cerebella
8.Peacock

Also, no one mind salty Pali.

He has the tendency to say dumb shit, he’ll come to his senses soon, it’s the usual, we just forgot because we haven’t been playing SG as much.

Also, lol @ being a “pro” mod.

OOOH OOOH CAN I BE JD? PLEASE TELL ME I CAN BE JD!!!

Also complete blowups don’t really make a game less scrubby. IMHO they make a game more scrubby. The game is actually a game when both players have a chance to do something. That’s when you have to out-play your opponent to do damage. You have to mix him up and get resets in there and overall outplay him. In a game where you have a complete blow-up, once touch combo death, there isn’t really a game going on. The first c.LK wins the game and then we all watch a combo video. It takes far more skill to repeatedly out guess and out maneuver your opponent than to just win on the first hit.
