It’s a shame people are turning away because of the community and art style, I mean the game looks pretty fun to me. It’s sorta like Marvel with less of the random factor, which I think is great. I don’t understand why people are upset with the community so far, yes they are all obsessive about the game, but if the game gets character forums then you won’t have to worry about that (In reality I don’t see how people could affect how much you enjoy the game, but w/e). I hope those of you who aren’t interested will maybe become interested after watching/playing the game some more.
Jedah ripped his head apart to bleed over you. Removed his wings, exploded his fingers and opened his chest cavity among other things. And he was one of the greatest fg chars thanks to all that, plus Daigo bodied with him. Oh yeah, and his stage… o.O
I do think the character design is a valid complaint; if you don’t like 'em then you don’t like 'em. Hell being bored out of my head by the shotos was what kept me from trying out fighting games to begin with (thank you TvC Roll for having a crazy as fuck level three super).
The confusion comes when someone likes the Darkstalkers characters’ weirdness but hates the same thing in Skullgirls.
@MWisk: Oh man, I love Fetus of God. Best stage.
All the people bitching about how “obsessive” SG fans are have to look no further than the MvC3 pre-release thread(s). Any time there was a new character reveal it was 50 pages of Capcom deep-throating and begging for more. Enough to make me blush like a little girl, and I am a huge fucking pervert. Shit is nowhere near that bad for SG.
Also, the SG general is fucking tame. You people are a bunch of pansies. I hope you guys never set foot in the UMvC3 OT thread because you will be scarred for life.
3 punches 3 kicks
Like the good old days.
but what if it has Yuri and Friends in it? (c wat I did there?)
It’s the same as some people turning away from SFxT because it looks ugly with saturated colors.
The characters in this game look short and stumpy.
If by “never have to hear of this game ever again” you mean… “Having more front page articles not only on SRK but on other gaming websites” as well as “Going to show up in multiple tournaments that will be streamed this month” then yes, you will never have to hear of this game ever again.
Also, failed edit attempt.
Yeah, but to a lot of people (and me) that game looks like it plays pretty shitty. Infinites, glitchs…bleh. The artstyle is what people base their first opinions on; then we see how the gameplay looks, and we go from there. SFxT is a lot more money than Skullgirls too.
how dare they, at least they should give the game a chance to find out how horrible is, gameplay and mechanic wise, am i right?
Posting articles on the front page, tournament streams and such is still promoting the game (specially when Reverge is throwing in prizes and such). Hell, posting front page articles and tournament streams is most likely even more promotion than the promotion it gets on this board from cross-thread posting so not much will change.
My reason for supporting it is, along with other fans, to send a message to other developers to step their own games up. I have some gripes with the artstyle (I don’t dislike all of it), but that’s irrelevant. The point is to support the gameplay and hope Capcom/others look at how players are reacting to SG’s gameplay. At least for me.
I really dont believe that kind of thing at all. You weren’t gonna buy the game in the first place. No one in their right mind would say “hey this game looks interesting but since it has an array of fanboys telling me to buy it I wont buy it.” Seriously some people need to stop with the bullshit
when i 1st heard of skullgirls i basically heard it from ppl that were like OMG BUY THE GAME BLAH BLAH BLAH and that shit turned me off from it. i don’t like when people try to make you get into something you don’t want to get into and shoving it down your throats. that no better then religious ppl that try to make u believe in they faith when you said no already.
and people need to cut it out with “mvc2 players will like this” crap. no mvc2 players wanna play mvc2. just like 3s players want to play 3s not SF X T.
i feel this game got mad overhyped. i think it will be a good ass game to play but the SG community is taking it like the KOF community and are acting like this will save FG’S and change everything and every other game is shit and these games have no flaws. i know we love the game but chill out with trying to force people to play this.
that being said i got into skullgirls through my own accord. i was like “let me see what this is about” and i was digging the gameplay. so i decided that imma buy it.
i wish people were more like “check this game out” and thoroughly explain it to me why this game might be good instead of saying “mike z is on it” i didn’t know who the fuck mike z so why should i had care? or when people kept telling me to “just buy it it’s good” like no they tell me SF X T is good and i think that shit is boring as fuck.
but thats my thoughts. im hype to get it and ill play it. i just hope these so called “fans” stay when they start getting bodied.
So then you’re basically not exposed to anything. Seriously, a few posts here and there is not shoving anything down your throat, the topics always expand because someone always has to say something stupid and then instead of having a few posts it blows up to pages of people arguing back and forth, when most of the time the people arguing against a lot of the stuff are wrong anyway because they tend to argue for the sake of arguing (this is not directed to you, just other people that tend to do this). The only way to actually get involved in the conversation would be to… voluntarily enter a thread like this one ;).
Where on earth have you been for the past forever and a half?
It’s probably the most used (and least reasonable) complaint brought against the game.
I can understand why. Looking at the SG general thread I would never want to associate myself with most of those guys. Getting into this game means I will interact on some level with these people and I don’t blame anyone for not wanting any part of that.
Says the guy with a Katawa Shoujo avatar.
COME AT ME BRO.
Still love you, no homo.
I am not a fan of the art style of games like Arcana Heart. But I am digging Skullgirls. I enjoy the fact the catgirl rips her own head off. I enjoy the fact that the nun turns herself inside out at the beginning of the match. I like the sinister saxophone licks and the cinematic vibe to the whole thing. It’s like an anime game with style.
