Why people should support Skullgirls (even if they don't quite like it..)

[Momochuu]

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

So I guess you missed me saying like 3 times in the thread that I am buying Skullgirls. It’s alright. Being so used to blindly defending a game you love must build bad habits.

[SUPARNOVAX]

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.

Who cares about that? This community is full of people who don’t care about game mechanics. That’s why AE and MVC3 trump the attendees. First impressions are everything.

And for something that’s a fan’s version of a successor to Marvel 2, a lot of people probably didn’t even really play Marvel 2 and they just spew and regurgitate stuff they heard about why the game is so good.

I don’t know. I’ll let this game ride out and see how it is. It’s a cheap trial and error. I like SFxT in it’s current form and do want some improvements to the experience however people may disagree for their own reasons.

Bring on Skullgirls.

[Drizzle_Bubble]

Maybe all the SFxT hate can be converted into Skullgirls love! :3 That would be great.

This game is gonna be great, I think! Support it and let people know there is more than Capcom.

[Oerba]

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.

Well think of it this way. That MLP thread in the General section is now one big argument between fans and nonfans. The fans in there love talking about the show, and they post pictures too. But when they’re not in that thread they don’t talk about that stuff. (Hopefully) the same should happen for Skullgirls. They’ll go crazy in their GD, but if there’s character forums then it’s only discussion about the characters and the game, nothing should really get in your way. Hence why I can still play UMvC3 (Have you seen the OT thread in there?) It’s entirely up to you though; I have my reasons and you do too:)

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.

I’m pretty sure that several MvC2 players confirmed their interest in it. Off the top of my head, I can only remember Fanatiq but I know for a fact there are several more. You can’t just say that MvC2 players aren’t going to be interested in this when several have already expressed interest.

And sure I agree that sometimes supporters don’t seem to promote this game the right way. They just say stuff and imply that people know what they’re talking about when it’s obvious that not everybody played MvC2 or knows who Mike Z is or whatnot. It really gets annoying to hear a bunch of white noise.

But personally, I got into this when I heard Mike Z’s vision with this game. From what I knew of him, he seemed to me to be one of those that had a vision I agreed with and would be one to actually get this shit done, no matter what it took. He was a gentleman and a scholar to me.

Also, you can’t really say anything is overhyped until you know the results. Most of us feel that SFxT got overhyped because it simply failed to deliver and the developers asked too much of us and expected us to have enough patience to deal with their BS.

[otori]

Art style and character design definetly kills it for me. Sorry but i’m not gonna play a game where i don’t like the character i have to look at for 500 hours.
Wish it the best of luck though.

[Slamtastic]

I will buy Skullgirls to support American fighting games, Independent/Small Dev fighting games, and fighting games made by actual players.

Even though I don’t like the versus series one bit.

[Gorlok]

So I guess you missed me saying like 3 times in the thread that I am buying Skullgirls. It’s alright. Being so used to blindly defending a game you love must build bad habits.

Sigh , you missed the entire point of my post. I couldnt care less if you’re not gonna buy skullgirls , KoF or whatever , it really doesnt have anything to do with me. However dont use the stupid logic “I was interested in it buy since there are fanboys tellling me BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT , I am not gonna buy it”. The point is , you weren’t interested in the game in the first place.

[Dragoomba]

Not really. Like there’s people that will come into the UMvC3 tournament thread and bash UMvC3 when it’s on and fap to KOF whenever the name is even mentioned. Never seen anyone ever do that for UMvC3 in another board.

Although I do agree that the KOF fanboys are annoying as fuck, UMvC3 is one of the most popular Capcom games out there right now. Why the hell would anyone be trying to promote it like it needs our support and sales?

[Momochuu]

Ah, the “THAT’S NOT WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT” option select. Nice one.

[RedVega]

If I bought UMvC3, I’m definitely getting Skullgirls lol

[Xiahou]

I’ll buy it because it’s a small priced arcade title. The community for this game are very supportive but I can agree that they’re… obnoxious. It’s like they haven’t played any fighting games besides new gen Capcom fighters or they’re just desperately looking for a fighting game to enjoy. I’m sure most of these “supporters” will ditch the game in a week and go back to complaining about SFxT.

[Momochuu]

Okay.

Can you point me to where I said UMvC3 needed any kind of support in that post? Do people here just choose not to read or is it on accident or what?

Edit: I’m not trying to be rude or anything with that. It’s just people here are just pulling arguments out of thin air. “YOU THINK THE CHARACTERS WEIRD??? YOU DON’T LIKE IT BECAUSE THE CAST IS ALL FEMALE”

[XtraKurrikula]

Will there be a demo? They can’t expect us to buy this game off hype alone.

[jinsaotomex3]

Yes.

COME AT ME BRO.

Still love you, no homo.

KS generals are less retarded than the SG gen. They’re funny most of the time.

The MLP thread in GD is a troll thread. MLP thread in this section is the genuine MLP thread. Yea, waiting on character sections (if they get them) so I can avoid that kind of crazy is gonna be my plan.

[Nitro_Noodlez]

I’ll try the game cause it’s something new. I can’t knock it off until I try it. It’s going to have a demo, so I don’t see why everyone shouldn’t at least try it out.

[Noble_Cactus]

I will buy Skullgirls to support American fighting games, Independent/Small Dev fighting games, and fighting games made by actual players.

Even though I don’t like the versus series one bit.

That’s another reason why I would (or rather, am) supporting this game. If this game can at least get a small but dedicated fanbase that represents the game well, it might convince other indie FG developers and individuals with (possibly innovative and refreshing) ideas they want to try out but are concerned with not gaining an audience to start their projects and support others.

Well, that was a breathy sentence.

[jinsaotomex3]

Yeah but there’s always that ONE GUY that has to post KS guro, and that just makes me sad.

[Blacksonic21]

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.

The SG general thread definitely left me with a bad taste in my mouth, and I don’t particularly respect a lot of the guys in there for that reason. But it’s not enough to deter my interest in the game, because it’s obvious that a lot of them won’t stick around once their shit gets wrecked.

A lot of these guys seem to be under the impression that this will be the game they don’t suck at. Because I guess the game fixes issues they believe are reasons for them losing in other games. Once they realize this isn’t the case they’ll move on leaving behind the guys that are really there to build up this game for what it is. Hopefully after this you’ll be left with a much more acceptable community, one you won’t be ashamed to be apart of.
