Please move your post to the sexism thread, thanks.
Shrugs sorry. The notice was posted before I F5’d the thread. Moving the post.
IronTrigger, kindly fuck off to whatever hole you came out of. If you want to ask me something that’s not the way to do it.
Ah good, there is a place now for that kind of stuff. Cool, it can be contained now @- @
As for Filia… I think that if you take her at face value, yeah, she does come off as a little plain. We’ve seen amnesiac protagonist a million times and schoolgirls are pretty common, too. So yeah, she does get overshadowed by the other characters, sure…
But once you throw in Samson and the little hints that the other characters drop about her, I think that she’s going to be much more interesting than we’re giving her credit for. I think it’s a little unfair to flat out call her bland, especially since we hardly know a thing about her.
Skullgirls coming out on valentines day would be a nightmare for me, I have plans with my wonderful fighting game hating boyfriend :C
It doesn’t seem likely the whole game will drop on Valentine’s Day. 'Sides, I keep seeing Ravid (at least I think he runs it .- .) on the FB page dropping unsubtle hints that that’s when we’ll see the trailer for Valentine
I don’t see how having a living, shapeshifting hair monster attached to your head can possibly make you a bland character. Maybe Filia herself is as a base, but the character is actually both Filia AND Samson, not just her.
Kinda like how Painwheel is a ‘ordinary school girl’ until she got mutilated and deformed. Or like saying Zato is just some blind dude and not taking his shadows/Eddie into account.
If it’ll take 'til Valentine’s Day to see Valentine’s trailer, I wonder what the schedule will be for the 8th character? Or a release date?
At the moment I assume she is Vitale’s real daughter,(Based on Cerebella and Peacock’s lines), Samson has a tool to bargin with even without the Skull Heart as I see it.
or Samson much like Vice-Versa was one of many weapons that Vitale had in possession and Filia came across it by mistake when visiting him.
Possibly a niece if Samson ate her parents like someone brought up about her old story.
Man this is such an awful topic to wake up to… -_-
Hey now, the night is still young! P:
It seems pretty apparent that Filia is (was?) a mafia brat, though now that we’ve seen what Vitale looks like I doubt she’s his kid. XP I’m not seeing a resemblance there.
I don’t even have a significant other [S](or friends for that matter…)[/S]
and the night is young, though I may be off to bed soonish? /shrug.
I’m not either, I’m thinking maybe a relative or something with ~connections~? hm…[S][/S]
If it does come out on V-day. Buy your boyfriend/girlfriend/significant other…
SKULLGIRLS!
The game even has a heart in it, this is sounding like a devious marketing ploy to me
Man this game aint never coming out. Seriously man, I am sick and tired of waiting for this 1 game to come out. I dont even know what other games are coming out this year besides this one game. Fuckin hell man. Cant they tell us that the game has at least been submitted? God dang. How long have we been saying “any day now”?
Lmfao he would kill me and never play it. I’m not joking when I say he hates fighting games :3
I agree that proximity to SFxT release is an important consideration for Skullgirls. However, under the right circumstances and the right type of fan reaction to the things that SFxT represents, a Skullgirls release a couple weeks after SFxT could be very beneficial. If, for instance, there is a certain degree of frustration and animosity towards Capcom for the choices made in development of their game, Skullgirls could potentially receive a bump from people rebounding off SFxT’s lameness and looking for alternatives.
Worst case scenario would be an SFxT that is somehow, some way, miraculously so good that everyone plays it to the exclusion of all else for weeks or months on end. I just don’t think that’s especially likely from what I know about that game. If SFxT is okay (not flagrantly bad, not amazingly good) and Skullgirls turns out great, Skullgirls should be relatively unaffected by release proximity so long as it is at least two weeks prior or post SFxT.
Launch party erryday!
I think a solid update on the status of the game would do wonders to alleviate anxiety, but that seems like its against the rules.
As for SFxT, it’s a fun game, and it has a lot more marketing and a much larger fanbase going for it than SG. Even if some people don’t like it, having SG’s release swallowed up in SFxT hype and news can’t be good.
SFxTekken is the elephant in the room whether or not people want to admit it. It’s in the same genre, competing on the same consoles and competing for the same audience that tends to focus on the things they got first. It’d be cool with me if they pushed the date back to April, but I don’t see that happening.
Either way… I guess it’s just something folks are gonna have to deal with when we are in this consumer-developer relationship with smaller companies. I’m just glad that they are putting out a quality product that will stand the test of time(unlike some recent games lacking in important features/modes)…
That is one way to look at it, but I told myself from the start that I don’t want to be that negative about any fighter. I hope it is decent and that it sells if the polish and play is good. KOF seemed to have a great reception after people’s dissatisfaction with UMvC3. I don’t think the SF base has it in them to reject the game if it isn’t good though. They’re free to prove wrong.
I guess we shall see…
Edit: I’m only more pessimistic because I’ve read quite a few GAF sales age threads and the data seems consistent. Sub par games combined with gigantic marketing budgets tend to outshine a quality product. Exceptions are rare and they only happen when the consumers are flexible enough to step outside of their comfort zone. Capcom fans have never appeared like the types to step outside of their comfort zone. The consistently low profile of all 2D fighters outside Capcom’s offerings just reinforce that in my eye. Not that there is anything wrong with liking Capcom products!
People forget that, before the whole gems fiasco, people were actually pretty hype for SFxT based on the gameplay.
SG site says the game was supposed to land on the first quarter of 2012, I think it’s pretty safe to say that we are waiting for another delay announcement now
edit : huh, I thought It did say 1st quarter but now I cant find it, ignore this for now
… the fuck you talking about? I’m waiting for the announcement that it’ll be here two weeks from the day they tell us.
Seriously, you should be thrown off a cliff for getting that notion into our heads. Optimism, man! Optimism!
Im going to need something quick. I never waited this long for anything in my life. Not even sex.
Right now, I’m guessing the release date is “whenever Diablo 3 is finished”
