Skullgirls GD, Keepin' It Classy In Medici -- Now out in EU/AU!

[ArchAether]

Did the palette unlock for the character you got whooped by? Lol

You know what? Maybe you’re right. He was a solo Peacock, and I was running a team of Peacock/ Cerebella. I already unlocked Cerebella’s, and after the matches, Peacock’s was unlocked.

Can someone get me a nice screen capture of the Diving Egret? Parasoul’s MK charge move. I need to rip the sprite for some stick art I’m working on (I’ll post it for everyone to see when its done – so if you can get it on a bright or clean background that’d be great too. I think the training stage would be good. Higher resolution the better.

Is that Yamame’s sister on the credits singing (US and JPN version)?

Pretty sure its number of times played. We unlocked palettes while palying in the tournament at Texas Showdown.

I suck at doing combos.

^^THIS IS THE BEST

See, it’s shit like this that gives me second thoughts about this game. There is no way in a million years I can possibly get up to a level where I can defend against something like that, let alone pull it off myself.

The thing about that is, it’s 1v3. If you play a solo character, or even 2 characters, it’s not going to kill you. You still have to defend yourself, and there will always be someone better than you (which is true for everyone), but you don’t have to do it to win.

Give me 5 minutes. Booting up my game to get the creepy Valentine picture. I’ll get that as well. Also going to get Falentine’s win pose and such. Anyone else need anything?

Aren’t we nice? :^) 'cept for dat #10.

Is that a challenge? Excepted! Time to break out the old fighting game code list, and old games in general. Where do you guys think we should test the code on, the title screen or main menu?

[X-SAM]

So, wait… Squiggly and Umbrella are coming ‘soon’, yet Black Dahlia is also confirmed for DLC? Gah, I’m confused.

[MWisk_2]

I wish I could raffle a card to be used in SG, I would totally do it. Unfortunately I can’t force the winner to use it on SG only… yet.

MIKE Z! I have a glitch for you.

In my 360 version, I was in training mode with Peacock and Ms. Fortune. I was in the corner practicing combos. I raw tagged into Ms. Fortune and she entered as per normal. But right after that, I tried her front dash/run and she disappeared and her simple hitbox replaced her. She came back a few seconds later, so no harm was done. Easy fix?

Mike, this guy asked a very interesting question I hope you could answer.

Seems like this might not be the best time for Mike Z if he’s trying to track down a bug with the game, but I listened to the Wakeup SRK podcast tonight and I wanted to ask him a question. So I’m just gonna leave this here and hopefully when he’s not stressed out he’ll answer me.

Question for Mike Z:

You were talking in the podcast about how difficult it is to do seemingly simple things while programming your game, such as putting a movelist on an overlay screen. These are things that most gamers take for granted, but you discovered how difficult they were to do, and there were things you had to drop in order to release the game on time. My question is, do you have sympathy for companies like Capcom in the post-release of SFxT? Things like pair play for 360 had to be dropped… really important features that they also don’t plan to patch in later, or so they say, and now they’re getting ripped in the community for it.

Do you think “yeah, they should have done that…” or “yeah, makes sense why they dropped it, it’s so hard”? Like… knowing how hard it is to do certain things across platforms from first-hand experience, do you get mad at Capcom when stuff like this happens? This was the first time you released a project to a game marketplace, and you had a much smaller team and budget… meanwhile, Capcom’s team of engineers is (presumably) composed of veteran programmers and engineers, some of whom were probably involved in the multiple releases of SF4, and they have much more substantial financial support. Does that mean they should be held to a higher standard for things like this?

I’m just wondering your take on all this. I’m personally really upset that Capcom hasn’t put local vs online pair play on 360 (because IMO it’s a very important, key feature of the game), even though I know it’s a lot more difficult than just turning on a flag in their code… I just feel like a AAA company like Capcom should be allowed considerably fewer “mistakes” on things like this due to their experience and financial backing, whereas I can sympathize with your situation quite a bit more.

So, this is an interesting turn of events…

Today Microsoft Japan contacted Konami, and asked us to clarify the Japanese release situation.

Apparently they are getting angry phone calls from people trying to find the game on XBLA. They think that since our website is available in Japanese that it was supposed to come out there.

We only translated the site to try and garner Japanese interest in hopes that would lead to a publishing deal, but I guess it’s confused people.

I’m currently writing a statement to clarify the situation.

There’s a dedicated thread stickied for bugs and glitches. And yes, lots of people have already noted this.

[zferolie]

gah, well this sucks… it seems like I cannot use the PS3 to take screenshots while in this game… I guess it may not work with downloadable games, or it’s something Reverge labs locked out, not sure.Sorry, no HQ Creepy Valentine until I figure out a way around this…

Ouch. That sucks. I wonder why it’s not out on the 360 in japan yet…

Well, outside of the obvious bad press associated with that kind of confusion – must feel good to be causing an uproar in Japan because your game looks so tasty. :PP

[RustyShacklefurd]

Rawr japan wheres our Skullgirls

BUT… there are enough phone calls for people wanting the game, right >.>? That’s a plus ain’t it?!

[Ravidrath]

Ouch. That sucks. I wonder why it’s not out on the 360 in japan yet…

Because it’s not supposed to be! We need a Japanese publisher and localization before we can release it there.

[worldjem7]

The XBLA version release was worldwide, wasn’t it?

[HamFist]

Has there been any thought about an art book of concepts, production art, promo etc?

[zferolie]

Ah. I fought someone from japan though yesterday. They must have downloaded the game from the US server then on the PSN.

[QETZL]

Well, at the very least I think you can say you successfully garnered interest!
