Though the art style thing is subjective (you love it or hate it) and I disagree with the rest of your post, I thank you for being civil about not liking the game. Unlike some people.
This is actually the reason why I personally don’t play the game currently. Every once in a while I’ll jump into training mode and have a grand old time. But I know better than to try the matchmaking service because nobody else is on it either. Everyone either stopped, or bought a PS3 and a current version of SG. I’d rather wait till I have an updated Filia alongside with Squigly so I can be up to date. As opposed to getting really into it now, getting the patch and going online like “Hey guys!! Check out this reset I just ma-…it doesn’t work anymore :(”
I really enjoyed the game when it first came out, but I have it on xbox so the really long load times and lack of the patch killed it for me, once the patch and dlc come out I will get back into it since it is actually a really fun game
Funnily enough, wasn’t the lack of resets in favor of long combos one of the initial complaints about the game. Just shows how much people aren’t willing to actually figure the game out.
Unless you’re playing Fortune, long combos aren’t really required. Ideally (IMO), you should be resetting after the first relaunch.
What would all the marvel only players here say if sg’s assist conversions were alot tougher to confirm from?
Thats also one of the things i think mvc2 players may have a problem with… Basically every sg team converts from assist like mags with psylocke… Not a problem except to realize that not every marvel team is mags and psylocke.
Like when i watch high level marvel from the high tier teams. its mostly lots of random assist hits from hard to convert corridor or like major chip from legions of drones assists… And also of course lots of assist countering/damage…
Basically forcing much more neutral game cause hitconfirms are harder to come by… I feel like in sg assist confirms kinda ruin the continuity of the neutral…
Mvc2 at a high level seems much more poke based, as an example… Will link a vid in a sec:
Nobody fucking cares about Big Band. Furthermore all the male characters are lame as hell. You seem to forget that people don’t JUST want characters that have penises. They want specific archetypes of male characters.
General audiences want to play as anime pretty boys or Akuma-like demonic dudes with spiky hair who constantly talk about power levels and fists. Those are the ones that are always popular. They want to play as DBZ warriors and anime badasses with huge swords. They don’t want to play as nerd fish. Or anvils.
If they were going to go after the “general audiences” they should’ve done that in the first place, not wait until this long has passed.
most of the reasons have been posted already, but basically, Skullgirls has a lot of differences from Marvel 2 in terms of actual gameplay (ground focus, lack of speed, character archetypes). There’s also the fact that, well, who DOES play Skullgirls? Being an indie game with limited marketing, no franchise to its name and very niche aesthetics, there’s not much of a local scene to attract other people that might be interested.
Stanley: boring and contrived.
Andy: just plain dumb-looking.
Leduc: scrawny wuss.
Beowulf: dull hairy guy with no powers.
Taliesin: almost offensively misogynistic.
Hubrecht: atrocious and derivative of Heart Aino.
Isaac: ugly, smelly old geezer.
Yu-Wan: putrid racist stereotype.
Samson: he’s just an unimpressive blob.
Adam? Pffahahaha… no.
These topics are still weird to me. Like why aren’t MvC2 players playing MvC3 or vice versa or insert one game that plays sort of like another but different.
People might like a different shade of it but if they don’t, they don’t whether you like their reasoning or not. They really don’t have to explain themselves. Even if you don’t like Nickguy’s opinion that the MvC2 sprites are better, telling him he’s wrong isn’t going to somehow make him play SG lol. The games are still different games. He doesn’t to play a character like Cable, he wants to play Cable. He likes his old 90s comics look, so what?
SG has it’s own scene and it’s growing, maybe the people saying it needs more characters or more male characters are actually being honest and will play it later so cool, w/e.
Live and let live.
This is my serious post for the thread, let’s go back to making jokes please.
you guys remember when SFxT came out and everyone was telling us that the 3s players in particular were really going to like SFxT? that was pretty cool.
This thread has outlived its purpose, someone please euthanize it before it becomes another SG fanboy circlejerk where they all agree with each other on how awesome Beowulf is.
