Minette is supposed to play like TvC Roll to some extent, not a lame fighting style by any means. Besides she brings diversity to the roster in the sense of age, and hitbox size.
It’s fun to see the salt, lol.
Well this is where things get dicey. With only two votes to spread around I’m not sure who to keep supporting. Panzerfaust seems like a lock, but I do like Stanley, especially with all the salt fools on the front page are spewing because he’s making it so far. But, Issac remains so black I’m almost compelled to vote for him. Decisions, decisions.
It annoys me when people only vote for a reason that is almost irrelevant to the game. Because that vote has the ability to effect the entire game and decide what almost a million dollars went to. When people vote for Isaac because “I think his time travel mechanic is pretty unique and I would be interested to see how it can evolve from the one move we were shown.”, that is fine.
When people vote for Isaac because “He is black”, that annoys me because a very minimal amount of effort went into that decision making process. Sure you can do that. But I by no means have to agree with it.
For instance I voted for Scythana because I would love to see a mechanic similar to Cody’s knife actually be useful, instead of an incredibly underwhelming and almost useless gameplay option. Not because she is a giant blonde girl who has huge tits by a technicality.
And I voted for Eliza, because her whole Blood thing is interesting to me. Not because of her lack of clothing.
Then I guess you have too high of expectations for people. LOL
I think saying “I voted for so and so because he’s black” is meant to annoy white people. LOL
Obviously in this case, Issac’s character design and game mechanics played a much bigger role, because if Isaac was a generic black boxer or some other stereotype then he’d probably have very little support.
Most people in general vote for very simple reasons.
I don’t know. Sure in fighting games, the characters ARE the game. But how they look is the smaller percentage of why they matter in the game. It’s their gameplay that counts. So overall I just think people should be voting from their gameplay descriptions before anything else. Not their appearance. Though I also think some people are leaving it to the notion that is impossible for LZ to make a character that plays badly. So they just vote off of other stuff because they are leaving the gameplay part to the devs.
Did you see the polling results for the Skullgirls campaign questionnaire?
When the fanbase is two times more likely to attend an Anime convention rather than a fighting tournament, then character design is more important than hypothetical gameplay mechanics.
The requirements to vote are having donated. That’s it. Regardless of if someone charts out the pros and cons of every character in a large diagram or throws darts at a board all the votes carry the same weight. So use getting upset by it. In the end the majority will rule.
yeah. panzerfaust has always been my “final round” choice but stanley playing like slayer is still a concept i’m very interested in.
but the design of isaac is just so cool but the gameplay concept for him is somewhat out there.
of the females still left, only eliza really jumps out to me as a character i’d like to play.
as for my vote tomorrow, i figure i’ll wake up and just vote to keep myself from overthinking it.
Influences != play like
It can be a big thing or a little thing. Like Brain Drain’s Magneto influence was his MvC2 ghosty hands while standing.
At first I was going to get a tiny bit angry that the likes of Dahlia, Umbrella, or Marie didn’t make it. Specifically Marie as I had hoped to find more about her story and was excited to see how she’d play. Honestly I would rather have Marie then Robo-Fortune, but that’s just me.
After thinking about it though, I’m happy. People are going to be angry that a ‘science shark’ might possibly win or that some moe blob fish girl is on equal standing with two time wielders, a blood god, and a guy with a god damn tank on his arm. Then it hit me, that’s just what makes Skullgirls what it is. Sure you can be personally disappointed about your character not getting in but if I take a few steps back I try and look at the bigger picture. I’m still in love with this game and its entire universe. The likes of a science shark still makes me grin from ear to ear just as it did two years ago when I pointed him out in the background of a screenshot. Minette really is adorable. Panzer having a tank on his arm is still amazingly fucking awesome.
If anything I just have this unwavering faith that no matter who we get the Lab Zero folks are going to put their heart, soul, and love into making the character great. Maybe Minette will be the ‘dan’ of the game, maybe Stanley will be the best character. I don’t really care. I’m more excited to see what we get out of the crew more so than I am just voting.
Holy fuck I am such a god damn fanboy, I can’t fucking help it lol
Eh, it’s listed first as an influence, and exclusively mentions TvC Roll (not versus Roll) and Mike Z is on record recognizing that TvC Roll actually was a good character. Of course, that’s not the only reason I’m voting for her (the level up mechanics, age, hitbox size, etc.)
I’m with Master Chibi, regardless of the salt, this whole experience is exciting and we really can’t lose.
Also lets remember, Mike Z isnt some out of touch game developer or a pigheaded idealist (as shown in his willingness to use Salty Cupcakes as a form of beta testing new ideas from players), he’s a player first meaning he understands the frustrations of “wasted” character slots. So the odds of Minette coming out as some nightmare mix of terrible PWright mechanics and Roll’s inequalities are low to none. Even if it turned out worst case scenario, L0 would be learn from the feedback and patch her (unlike Capcom and other companies who would just let us either struggle or drop the character) as they’ve once again already shown.
Any character has a valid reason for being added to the roster, but I know personally I want Minette most. I finally want to see a competitive non-fighter character.
I certainly hope Eliza wins!
Just not any fucking fish, it’s TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A JOKE… not FUNNEE!! @_@
Vote Panzerfaust. Vote Freedom.
Keep preaching about her being a joke and we’ll see whose laughing when you lose to her.
And for the record Phoenix Wright to me was an example of Capcom (or whoever was behind UMvC3) actually having fun and enjoying themselves and being creative. I wish they work / polish they put into him (regardless of how ‘bad’ he is) was done across the board, maybe the game would be rid of its homoginous (SP PLZ) outer layer.
I will straight up delete the game from the console and email LZ. 225k for a meme/joke character, think about that. You could have anyone who would strengthen the brand and expand the game, but not, u pick a joke character.
Where has it been stated anywhere that she’s going to be a joke character? Non-fighter character = / = joke character.
By the way, if Isaac gets voted in; this had BETTER be said by one of the characters during their intros.
This whole ordeal is a reflection of the SG fanbase/backers and what they like about/from Skullgirls.
If you like it for gameplay or the dark twist on everything, Minette seems like the odd one out IMO seeing as nothing immediately comes off as tragic or twisted or dark.
