I don’t think Parasoul will do bad I think she’ll do bad if you’re trying to poke with normals. If you disagree can we just leave it at that ?
Unless you want Skullgirls to stay 8 characters forever, this is really the only way for us to do it.
I will say that I saw a lot of people lugging 360s around at ReveLAtions because of Shuma and Jill, and hope we can do something to alleviate this. We have a few ideas, but nothing is set in stone… just know what we’re already thinking about it.
They’re allowed to, and will be.
Looks like we’ll be opening the stream! Streaming starts at 8 PST, and Skullgirls will be on there until the main tournaments start around 8:30-9:00.
That’s a naive way to see it but sure.
did you really have to say it’s naive ? Can you point out top tier characters in other fast paced fight games that got by poking with normals. MvC2 CvS 2 BB GG AH3 Meltyblood or TvC.
Look, my main game right now (and for the past 6 years) has been Melty Blood. The game has more mobility then anything else out on the market right now. You have double jumps, instant air dashes, dash canceling cancel, air dash canceling, double jumps, super jumps, and super double jumps. There’s alot of area to move around in and plenty of ways to do so. Even in a game like that footsies are retardedly important. The game is about 85% normals.
Skullgirls doesn’t have that crazy mobility, the playing field is long but ‘short’ (you can’t super jump away like most vs games) so normals are going to play a super important part in the game. I’m certain Parasoul will fucking destroy some characters outright because of how deliciously long and annoying her pokes are.
SO SHAD UP
So basically what you’re saying is that their isn’t an example of it in Melty Blood thanks for letting me know that.
Update on WNF tonight…

Until they nerfed him, Johnny in GG, which is what I’ve been saying. But even so it makes NO difference if they’re “top tier”, because the playstyle IS good as has been proven in alot of games. A playstyle doesn’t have to be “top tier” for it to be effective or good. That’s just, well, naive.
Sagat in CVS2. cr.HP anyone?
Hakumen in CS1 and CS2. He’s not top tier, but he’s still effective.
I don’t know anything about the rest and I ALREADY gave my case about MvC2.
he just said 85% of the game is about normals. If you didn’t read that part then you’re blind. If you did, then you are naive to think that it doesn’t matter.
I support Skullgirls. I know very little about other then its an American made game, features exclusively women and looks totally awesome. I don’t give a shit about DLC characters at tourneys. I played in tourney back in the arcade days when you make due with what ya have.
If you even think for a second DLC might come into play keep a pocket base ( in regular ver.) character. Problem solved imo. I love how people are already disecting this game lol I’m so far behind.Yay hot monster grappler actor chick.
Did you miss the part where I said the game is 85 FUCKING PERCENT ABOUT NORMALS?
thanks for the heads up I’ll be looking for it.
@gasaraki if you can name me one or 2 characters from about 8 games wouldn’t it be reasonable to assume that parasoul won’t be able to get there just on her long limbs ? I also don’t think it’s naive of me to say that it’s not something to expect nor do I feel I should be told to shut up because of what I’ve said. If anything the naive one is you when you can’t even build up enough characters to even attempt to make your stance credible.

Just because you make a claim bold it and make it red font doesn’t mean it’s true. If you feel as though this game is 85 percent about normals then you most think Peacock is a horrible character. This is the last time ima respond to how I feel parasoul should/ shouldn’t be played. Since I feel as though it’s taking away from the thread and I had no attentions in doing so.
The game will be playable to everyone, right?
Are you srs? Melty is Chibi’s game. Why would you not believe him on this?
What? you do realize a character does NOT have to be top tier to be good right? You also realize that not every character is played the same, BUT normals are always important in every fighting game ever created that has any value right? Even if there’s one odd character who zones with things other than normals?
You’re completely ignoring common sense and the examples I’ve given you. To say all normals are bad for a character to zone with is to not understand fighting game fundamentals.
Years and years of fighting game tournaments have proven you wrong already, Normals in a fighting game are ALWAYS important, moreso than specials. True, all aspects of the character matter, but normals are the freaking backbone of how that character plays.
Also MC’s “85%” was referring to Melty Blood, WHICH YOU ASKED ABOUT not SG. And Peacock zones in her own way because her normals aren’t that great for zoning, Parasoul’s are, and they’re two ENTIRELY DIFFERENT characters.
I do believe him.
Indeed.
These two statements are contradictory. >_>
You realize the “85% normals” thing is about Melty, right? He’s saying that despite Melty being so fast, it’s still all about normals.
Range of normals is a huge aspect to footsies in any game. Saying it “doesn’t matter” is like saying the game doesn’t have footsies, which would be a rather absurd claim.
Where’s the link to the stream?
