If it makes you feel any better, I find the gore in mortal kombat way more childish than anything Skullgirls has going for it. Problem is that the gameplay is so good I would like to be able to advertise it. Just one of those things where you can’t do anything but shrug.
I’m having a really hard time finding justification for keeping this thread open. I’m all ears, if anyone has any suggestions.
Close it now before the shit storm happens
Easy summation for you:
“Yes it probably would have sold better. That in no way reflects on the quality of the game one way or another”
probably safe to close now 
I’m not even sure if SG needs to “do better”. I’ve had tons of people to play against online and from what I understand, the few tournaments there have been had pretty healthy turnouts. Why was this thread even created?
It’s still a healthy debate, although it’s just non-gameplay related it’s still an issue people like to get off their chest.
Anyway, I remember unpacking this thing and setting it up at Texas Showdown, and within 2 minutes of me turning the game on a girl comes up and says “Oh man, I am looking forward to this game! Ms. Fortune’s my favorite!” Also there was at least one girl who competed in the tournament for the pre-release game.
So instead of just looking at “omg my bros don’t want to play this game because they’re chicks in this” everyone’s ignoring the part where females having something to attach themselves to could be a good thing.
Also, the game definitely hits a different audience, but not hitting everyone it could hit is a small issue but not many people could say they made the game they wanted to make and it’ll appeal to the people they wanted aesthetic-wise and the other ones hopefully see past it and get to a good game.
Someone needed to imply that Street Fighter games = Call of Duty.
please please close this thread
why are people so disinclined to talk about this ‘production angle’ stuff?
why are you so disinclined to get rid of bad threads
I’m a firm believer that people have the ability to just ignore things they don’t like, and don’t understand the need to try to shut things down 
Wait, do I lose rhetorical tennis if I don’t phrase it in the form of a question?
You know that one house that brings down the property value of the surrounding neighborhood?
** /Thread.**
You are probably the last person to be saying this
just like the tier thread? (yeah I went there!)
that’s your misapprehension, I love all this shit.
Seriously, I didn’t even pay much attention to all the so called “sexualizations” until…wait, I still don’t. My girlfriend sits besides me and watches me play sometimes. It never bothers her a bit, either.
The characters are interesting. The gameplay is great. I’m not sure why some people have to be so fixated on pixel boobs. This is not fucking DOA Volleyball that advocated nothing but tits.
Honestly anyone who has a problem with it should try to change the laws of physics. Because boobs are only connect on one side, when whatever its connected to (the torso, obviously) goes up, so will they. When it goes down however they will stay to an extent because of upwards momentum form going up, therefore when the momentum is lost gravity takes over and pulls them down. Because they are naturally squishy for lack of a better word, they will bounce upon returning to normal position. So unless you can change the laws of physics and gravity, boobs will always bounce. And unless for some reason video games stop trying to be more realistic, they will always bounce in video games as well to maintain realism. Unless you can change one of the three, there is no point bitching about it because video games will always mimic reality in certain respects. Logic mutha fuckas. Use it.
Secondly I really don’t think SG NEEDS to do better. I think it’s doing great. You can’t appeal to everyone because if you change one thing there is a chance people will be biased against that change as well. You just can’t make everybody happy
They could always duct tape the boobs Mulan style.
Problem solved 
Sexual taboo in media is always funny to me. Everybody loves tits, but nobody wants to come off as a perv for publicly owning something that highlights tits. :rolleyes:
Despite that viewpoint, it didn’t kill the success of the game. I know that kind of thing isn’t appealing to everyone (as expressed by some users on this board even), but there are enough people it either can appeal to or people who can look past it enjoy the other merits of a good game.
Also, if people like it and it’s good, they’ll most likely recommend it. Even if a person gets a bad 1st impression from the visuals/art direction of a game, some good word of mouth or seeing someone hype for it/enjoy it can get people to try it out and have a change of heart. I’m one of these people who had a change of heart for SGs btw. You won’t get everyone on board, sure, it is what it is… but you never know who could be subject to having something added to their list of guilty pleasures (might not even feel guilty about it lol).
I don’t think there is enough duct tape to restrain that chest of Cerebellas though.
Well we’ll never know until we try Duct tape sound
I got the heavy duty extra long roll anyway.
