It’s hard to say considering that it offers a good amount for the admission price…but, I still wouldn’t want to buy a fighting game that would die in a couple months because of no support. It isn’t like MvC2 times where there’s no chance of patching, etc. I expect the support for a fighting game these days to help make it as good as can be. Even if SG can never get patched, the game wouldn’t evolve to the vision Mike Z had for it because of how one-sided the gameplay can get with its combos.
OK let me rephrase, it’s worth the price for a fighting game at 15 bucks, but, I expect much more from SG. I can’t see how it can survive with the top contenders of fighting games at its current state, especially when so many people have stopped playing the game because of the promising patch that’s coming. It shows that a lot of people don’t like how the game plays at its current state.
Lol, I’m being too harsh…but, my expectations are high for SG and I really love the game, besides the many problems with it.
I understand what you’re saying. It’s like what if Guilty Gear never got past Missing Link? Or if Marvel not got past MSH?
But still, I think it’s worth playing even without support. Because it offers a unique and well designed (if somewhat rough around the edges) experience. It doesn’t top Mvc2 or Super Turbo, but it’s a good game and worth playing.
Even if the game was dead, I’d still probably play it with my circle of friends.
I think that’s the difference between your view and mine :(. The main problem with my situation is that I can barely play the game online because it’s basically dead. I can’t find a game the regular way without having to search for 20 mins, and the ping most of the time is unplayable. I can’t even play on 50-60 ping without the game lagging when it shouldn’t. I guess cause I am an online warrior that I’m annoyed. Lucky for me, I have the fighting game scene in downtown Toronto…but, I’d go nuts if I didn’t have a scene.
Anyway, it’s still hard for me to say as of now, but, I agree for the most part. It’s definitely a fun game, even at its stage right now. Can’t wait till’ patch! It answers all my problems with the game.
It’s quite possibly the best thing since Funland. So many good players that came from Funland/Lovegety. I haven’t been there for a year cause of school and lack of money, but, they held Wednesday night casuals by Toronto Top Tiers (dunno if they still do) and it’s only 5 bucks for a whole day.
I don’t exactly have the money to go, since I’m saving and have no job atm…but, is it still active as hell on Wednesdays? People still playing 3s or SG for that matter?
This wednesday they had ultimate gamer for Marvel and Wednesdays seem to be a capcom day, it was only my second time there if skullgirls is on it is most likely will be on mondays but yeah its still seems mad active
Skullgirls was well worth the 15 bucks, but I felt that a cast of only 9 characters kept me wanting more. Mikez has already confirmed that there will be downloadable characters, as well as some guy characters.
