10.5 More Years: Construct a team of Filia, Peacock, and Painwheel.
Return X damage with painwhell - It could be two 1 at once and the other cumulative
I was just thinking… what are the odds of Skullgirls avatar awards for XBLA? A simple shirt would be cool, but a zany hat or something would own. Plus, it’s another opportunity to affix another zany achievement to the game.
I’m thinking a Ms. Fortune head “pet” that you get to do her win pose with. Or maybe it stalks around you before jumping up and chewing on your arm. Or maybe a Samson pet that gets on your head and floats you like flag. Or a Peacock hat where Argus peaks out randomly and scares the crap out of you. Or… (head explodes).
Complete Background Check - Beat the story mode with every character.
In Z I trust - Use pre-made team assists and win 5 matches in a row.
NO EXCUSES! - Win 50 matches against the same team size you use (1v1, 2v2, or 3v3)
Never thought of the achievement system like that. The show unveiled a new light to me. Great watch.

Man, these ideas kinda make me sad that the xbla games can only have 200 points worth of achievements.
That’s why we have to try hard to make Skullgirls a success so the next game can be a disk release.
I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=41.719598,-71.479051
As long as it’s also a digital release. I love digital distribution, best thing to happen to media.
Maybe they will have 200 1-point ones, lol!
I’ve personally never cared about the actual gamerscore points the achievements give, i just do achievements cause its fun. sometimes. Also because im OCD about 100%ing every game i own.
To be honest, I think most people care about ranking rather than meaningless achievements. Ranking categories I’d like to see:
*general ranking (eg. Top players) (mid game droppers will be blocked from rank fights for 20 hours)
*ranking by single characters (eg. top Cerebella players)
*ranking by duel team (eg. Top duel team players)
*ranking by 3-some (eg. Top 3-some players)
As for meaningful achievements, we should give badges and trophies to legit online tournament winners.
As for the whole social network element, we should allow players to make clans, allow clan leaders to make their logo/flag, and have the option to rank their members as well.
These. Are. Great.
These are all great
Destroyed- Win with a lvl 3 super
Guilty Gear Reference.
Trophies should:
- Encourage players to try out different options
- Form a bellcurve (very few very easy ones, a high amount of mediocre ones, very few very hard ones)
- Show you where you are possibly lacking
Trophies should not:
- “Just happen”. ‘Perform X specials’, ‘Play Y online games’, etc is either no challenge whatsoever or one that gets beaten by senseless massgaming (and nothing else!)
- Encourage bad/artificial play. ‘Win a game without using special moves’ - that’s not something that’d ever happen without the trophy.*
- Have anything to do with DLCs. Trophies are part of the game-as-is. A trophy “buy a dlc character” makes ‘completing the game’ without additional fees impossible
- Be uncontrollable. This includes: “Get all random item drops with Peacock”, “Have an opponent ragequit on you” etc
- Encourage cheating by being way too difficult by normal means , eg “win 10 ranked matches in a row”
*Unless it’s really fun. Something like “Kill yourself with Lenny” would pass, I guess.
To cut it short, achievements should be some kind of subset tutorial. You should gain achievements for getting better, and when you unlocked everything you should be good.
I’m not going to think up names because quite frankly, I’m terribly uncreative (on top of not knowing 90% of the inside jokes / references to whatever), so I’ll just drop what kind of trophies I’d like to see.
- Complete the tutorial
- Complete the tutorial without a single mistake (if the tutorial stays as-is, you just happen to complete it eg because your body remembers the mixups. This trophy actually ensures you get 100% execution on the very basic things)
- Finish the Arcade Mode
- Play the same character in all of one, two, three character team
- Play all characters in all of one, two, three character teams
- Use a custom assist
- Use two custom assists within a combo
- Win a game each as a motion- and as a charge-based singlecharacter (singlecharacter to ensure people actually have to use it)
- Land a X-hit or higher combo in a match (either makes people go crazy… or at least forces them to search for the character which has it easiest to score that)
- Start training mode
- A load of character specific trophies to ensure people understand what every character does (spanning from “block a projectile with Parasouls bodyguard” over “land a combo containing at least one hit of Ms.Fortunes separated head” till “catch someone with Cerebellas air-to-air grab”)
- Use the infinite detection burst
- Play a game with each one of the three GGPO brackets (Put to 0 frame lag, to 1-3 frames, or to anything)
- Win with Chip damage
- Win due to Timeout
- Tech a Throw
- Watch (Save) a Replay
Other notes:
“Skullgirls Vs Willy” - See Valentines victory pose (actually I’m not sure if this works in english)
Have to go off now, will add more stuff later.
Three Woman Wolf Pack Of One - Win using a three man team, but without switching/getting snapped out or calling assists
Mirror Mirror - When having a mirror match (1v1), finish with a double KO
Gangsta, I Is One - Get your health (Or total health percentage) knocked down to <20% before inflicting any damage, then win the match.
Not Very Bright, Are You? - Get stuffed out of the same move 10 times in a match/Stuff someone out of the same move 10 in a match.
Kick 'er When She’s Down! - Continue a combo for three additional hits after the character has died.
If You Can Dodge A Wrench - Avoid 5 Peacock item drops in a single match.
More Trouble Than You’re Worth - Call out an assist and have it whiff 10 times in a single match.
The Drinking Game - See 30 Panty shots in a single round.
Extracurricular - Spend 2 hours in training mode
So We’re Just Pretending This Is Normal? - Land a combo 10 hit combo on Ms. Fortune’s head.
Creepy Girls At School - Win a match using Painwheel (The Schizo), Peacock (The Psycho), and Ms.Fortune (The Cutter) against a team of Filia (Teacher’s Pet), Cerebella (Head Cheerleader), and Valentine (School Nurse).
My X Button Don’t Work!!! You See Me Hittin’ It!!! You Cheatin’!!! - Lose 10 online matches in a row.
Why Won’t You Die! - Fight against someone who switches out the same character 5 times.
Prety Fireworks - See every type of hit spark in the game.
Ya Don’t See That Every Day - See every animation in the game.
Can’t Say That On Television - Hear every piece of audio in the game.
Taste The Rainbow - See every color of any character
Isn’t that kinda like this?
I suppose you could record an infinite in training mode to get it but that just seems like boosting.
Umm yeah, I actually missed that. It will probably be incorporated in the Tutorial anyways.
