They’ll have to after a week. They’ll have to change it again when the patch drops. They’ll have to change it again if this gets posted on SRK/Eventhubs frontpage.
The “idea” was brought up here simply to counter the proclamation of how this game is amazing in every way and should be welcomed by all of the FG.
The “idea” does have an effect on what consumers consume, it doesn’t matter if you’re fed up with it, because that won’t make it go away.
I agree, I would rather have more games utilizing drastically different art styles and being unique. However, that doesn’t mean I expect games that stray from the norm to be mainstream and garner huge fanbases, because one should typically expect those games to have a niche audience in the current time.
Basically, if you’re going to push against the status quo, don’t expect and easy effort (ie SG being one of the biggest tourney games). That’s all that point was.
I will be changing the milestone once we reach it, im very aware that getting only 1000 people on this thing is pennies to Autumn but we had to start somewhere and it looks a lot better if we reach the milestones set than having some massive number we dont even come close to. Even though we’re only nearing 600 people, that’s all on word of mouth from the fans. We haven’t even pushed for articles on SRK or any other fighting game websites. I have high hopes that, once the patch comes out, we can move this thing into full swing.
That wasn’t directed towards anything in this thread. It’s just my personal feelings about current gen videogames in general.
Yet there’s something that bothered me, why should a different art-style or stray-away-from-the-norm directions (gameplay, environtment, story or whatever) be doomed to be a niche title or to struggle? Just because of those things? This is what I don’t understand, this would all change if people once again recognized gaming as something fun and innovative, like, if a game is a good and fun game it could have anything its creators wanted.
I’m pretty sure all of this would’ve change if the media changed its approach on what deserve and what doesn’t deserve a good score. While I still make all my purchase decisions based on my likings and games I personally researched (paying $100 for a game helps being more thorough), I know there’s a whole “review-based” audience for games now. If for 1 year gaming sites told people games like CoD-esque clones were 5’s and games like Valkyria Chronicles, Beyond Good and Evil (to mention something older), Bayonetta, Folklore etc. as 10’s I’m pretty sure the focus of the investments would eventually shift.
This is just how humans work. It’s my (self-appointed) job to ponder this stuff, and here are my conclusions.
Humans have been trained, since our beginnings, to stick with what works. If, back in the day, your people learned to eat one type of fruit and hunt small animals (nothing bigger than a deer), that’s what you do. If you wanted to be innovative and eat new things or hunt bigger animals, there was a good chance of you eating something poisonous or getting crushed by an elephant. This method of existing has been hammered into our instincts, and has been survived by our ancestors unto us. The remnants of this instinct can be viewed everywhere today, but one example is tradition. All the different cultures of the world have traditions, and most families have their own individual, unique traditions. You follow them. You don’t really question them, and when the time comes you show up at a gathering, or buy gifts, or cook/eat food, or whatever without really thinking about it, even if you don’t like/prefer not to participate in them. It’s just that thing you do.
However, by this logic, you shouldn’t be even questioning this, right? You should already accept that anything new isn’t what you want. However, according to how I see it, Evolution is awesome. All the different things in people, everything from different blood types, different body sizes, hair/eye/skin color, natural instincts, they are all different. The way I view that is Nature’s back up plan. In case some bad shit happens that, say, kills everyone with A type blood, some super-virus or something, there will still be people left (the non-A blood types). Every time I see differences in people, that’s what I see. All of our differences are suited for different means of survival, and each of us are equipped for different paths in life.
So… I realized I talked too much already… basically, you, the new idea favoring guy, are outnumbered by the remnants of a past life, one which we’ve already outgrown imo. Eventually, because we are going to need to learn to expand past Earth eventually, the people who like the idea of new things will begin to grow and outnumber the close minded, I-like-what’s-existed-forever thinkers. Unfortunately, it will take a few more years for the word “Mainstream” to lose it’s value, and people will start looking for innovative ideas just as much, if not more than pre-established ideas.
That’s already self-contradictory, as you have to accept things at some point or else you would never have an accepted repertoire to begin with.
Also nature doesn’t work with “back-up plans”. Variation is just luck-based. Shit goes extinct all the time.
(Also, totally off-topic.)
I signed the petition because even when i am not playing the game right now (and if for some reason after the patch i end never playing it) i will still buy every piece of content that they put out for the game, since even when i don’t really like how the game is played right now, i love all the concepts behind it, a game made by a member of the FGC a dream that i think many of us share, and it would be sad that someone who actually have what it took to made it happen, wouldn’t be able to continue with say dream.
But Marvel is the “Mahvel” of anime fighters 
I was just using the coined term, people call capcom fighters well… capcom fighters.
I was going to say airdashers but you can air dash in marvel.
Skullgirls isn’t anime… it’s… fat-ime.
signed the petition but waiting to actually support the game and devs by buying the pc port.
hype kinda died with all the waiting but I’m still interested in the game.
I can’t tell if you legitimately dont like the game… or whatever it is you’re doing with the fitness comments. I’m lost.
No no, I love the game. I love all these fat morons to death in the same way one might love a red-headed stepson or a proboscis monkey. They’re so ugly and dumb that in a way they’re adorable. As a matter of fact I even play the game sometimes too.
Hey! … My brother has red hair.
Ms. Fortune: “I can has cheeseburger?”
NO. NO YOU CAN’T HAVE A CHEESEBURGER YOU FAT FUCKING ASS. YOU’VE HAD ONE TOO MANY. YOU NEED SOME ORLISTAT.
God Fortune you’re so fucking dumb, but at the same time so fucking moe. You just keep spouting those internet memes you adorable little retard.
I…am so confused…
Troll successful?
Very successful.
What’s wrong with some juicy ass girls? Fuck yo broccoli models.
Mmm… Milkshake booty…
Also, 855 signatures. It’s almost time to get this posted on SRK and Eventhubs front page (After the 20th, I suggest). Have you posted this on Dustloop? Or any other site that’s into Skullgirls at all?
I posted it on dustloop but the community over there is significantly smaller so it hasn’t exactly been a very lively thread.
