Yes. We were busting our ass hard in the Melty community at the 1-2 majors we were part of the line up for and Arcana comes in out of nowhere and nets around the same amount of people with no effort. Period. As in it was still an import only game and it made all our work for Melty look like a joke. Shit, even Justin, Demon Hyo, Arturo, and Noel Brown and a few other ‘top players’ were playing the game when I couldn’t get them to give Melty the time of day. Holy balls it was infuriating.
Yeah I remember all that.
I disagree. I’m trying to help the game stay in the mainstream light, not have it lowered to a status where only a few people play it at side tournaments that are tucked away in a different room that most people either don’t notice or don’t care about.
It’s not in the mainstream light, it was the flavor of the month for like two months (lol) and now it needs to work its way back up.
A side tournament is 1000000000% acceptable and you should not be trying to push it into a bigger light, especially since if it’s a main game and no one shows up it’ll work worse then just a small side tournament to garner growth.
This is an interesting debate.
I don’t know what games Duckie plays, but doesn’t Chibi loves his MB? He’s used to being side tourny status, and I think he may actually like being kind of hidden, I admit, there’s a certain appeal to a game that it’s information isn’t readily available everywhere and takes a nice while getting used to, and that’s what I feel Skullgirls is going towards.
In a way, that’s what Marvel 2 was like, I mean, everyone watched it, but how many people actually knew what the fuck was happening on the screen?
I mean, Final Round wasn’t bad, but, it felt kind of weird having people who were playing in the tournament setting up their laptops JUST as they were about to play MB.
I feel like this needs a topic of it’s own, because, personally, I like my games as side tournies, they feel more intimate, like when Alex bopped me, I leaned over and asked him shit, and he responded.
That has never happened in a main stage tourny for me.
So Persona, while fun, feels like the most clunky fighting game I have ever played. It’s so weird to play. Well maybe it’s just Mitsuru, since she’s the only character I have touched so far. Feels like I’m playing a mugen character when I play her lol.
Have you ever played blazblue?
That game makes me feel like I’m in a straight jacket.
Yeah I played lots of CT and some CS1, this game feels way weirder than them.
MB got side tournament status because we brought our own setups and ran the tournament on our own up to a certain point. It wasn’t until NEC 2009 that we were blessed with being taken seriously enough.
That and at the time there were really only 4-5 majors a year and very little in between. We were plenty happy to have a side tournament. Duckie’s point is to please the current brand of morons in the FGC, which is one of the only ways to gain exposure in hopes growing more.
CT felt fine to me.
It’s CS2 and Ex that made me go “dear god what is this constricting feeling?”
While i completely disagree with chibis rebuttal to you, i still find it completely wrong how so many sg players seem to think sg is sme sort of high execution fighter… It has high execution to be sure, but no more as a starting point than most and even less needed to be competitive with how batshit easy (and effective) the resets are.
Im not saying the game is LOW execution, just that this stigma that it is high, is:
- Flatout wrong
- Detrimental to the games success at attracting lower level players who like it or not are the lifeblood of almost all popular tournie games.
So yeah, we really should do away with this whole “if they had the ability to play skullgirls” mentality.
At this point this is no mvc2 or 3s when it comes to execution and since the game is so reset based it lowers execution barriers even more as super long combos many times arent even needed.
The patch w,ill make this even mor prevalent, though that is neither here nor there.
-dime
you want a game that requires high execution? come play ST
Fixed.
Fixed.
No, F/UC is still dumb harder.
I wasn’t at all aware people considered the execution in SG high enough that they would be discouraged to try it.
Does anyone here find Skullgirls funny? Like when it makes a video game or anime reference do you guys laugh out loud at that?
Just asking.
Yes.
Does anyone find you funny? Like when you go off trolling about something because you’re bored for some odd reason, do they laugh out loud at that?
Just asking.
Fixed so hard
wtf
