NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO argh i'm dead

Peter's probably taking the time to wrap his head around the instant run-off system and ponder on the shitstorms that may follow should a character get 50% on the 1st round? (too many people putting Annie first on their declared rankings...)

Edit: nvm...

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Nah, Mike wanted to hold it until at least this week's Salty Cupcakes.

you've hurt me so much, and now this delay... so is the new voting going to be the runoff system? I've heard everyone say it but no official word

I'm giving you my vote right now
1. Annie
2. Minette
3. Screw everyone else

 

[Moonlight]

Who the hell do you think we are!

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Who the hell do you think we are!

omg yes, so did you decide to go Annie and screw BD? (LIKE A REAL MAN)

 

[Jintor]

She should have half a Kamina shade

 

[SolarPowered]

Who the hell do you think we are!

The true Queen of Skullgirls.

Beautiful stuff, Moonlight.

 

[QisTopTier]

Time to store the fan art.

That's what I'm doing

 

[DiscoShark]

Nah, Mike wanted to hold it until at least this week's Salty Cupcakes.

That makes sense actually, I assume he wants time to finish up his planned demos for Roxie, Dahlia, and D.Violet before officially kicking off the next round.

Who the hell do you think we are!

Was just about to post this, TeamBloodStar will not be stopped this round.

 

[El Sloth]

I can't wait to see the Dahlia stuff.

 

[lazybones18]

Gonna need more Beowulf fanart to help bring down Annie

 

[Azure J]

Who the hell do you think we are!

Seriously, why is all Annie x TTGL fanart awesome?

 

[QisTopTier]

Seriously, why is all Annie x TTGL fanart awesome?

Because TTGL is overflowing with awesome. So much so that it can make ANYTHING awesome.

 

[Ultimadrago]

I can't wait to see the Dahlia stuff.

Aye.

 

[Jintor]

We're just going to stew in our own hatefest for a while, don't mind us

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Black Dahlia's been growing on me, plus I like Roxie and D. Violet. Can't wait for those demos!

Gonna need more Beowulf fanart to help bring down Annie

 

[TheOGB]

More art from tumblr

THERE WILL BE BLOOD

SHED

edit: damn you Grim Heaper lol

 

[Moonlight]

Because TTGL is overflowing with awesome. So much so that it can make AnnieTHING awesome.

I couldn't resist.

omg yes, so did you decide to go Annie and screw BD? (LIKE A REAL MAN)

I'll push both while I can!

I can't wait to see the Dahlia stuff.

Indeed. Best design deserves the best art.

 

[Jintor]

THE MAN IN THE MIRROR NODS HIS HEAD

 

[Master Milk]

i wanna see some minette stuff

 

[Azure J]

She should have half a Kamina shade

I definitely brought it up before that she should get some over the top eyewear. Something like a North Star worn sideways (tail end of the star streaks diagonally downward or upward) or a crescent moon (totally not thinking about practicality here, just cool space related shapes) or maybe shades that have a built in nebula/starshine effect like Cosmic Mario in the Galaxy games.

Then again, this could just be my inner Gainax character design fanboy at work:

 

[SolarPowered]

If they redesigned Annie I would have no qualms with it. Her current design is okay, but she looks like an Adventure Time character that accidentally got sucked through a wormhole that leads into the Skullgirls universe. I find that to be part of her appeal, but she doesn't scream TV star, magical girl or star warrior.

Her popularity must surprise everyone because the way they talk about her on stream makes her sound like a meh character to the team.

Because TTGL is overflowing with awesome. So much so that it can make ANYTHING awesome.

There is a good reason no one else in the cast gets to rock Kamina's shades.

I couldn't resist.

Kimlinh would be proud.

 

[Moonlight]

THE MAN IN THE MIRROR NODS HIS HEAD

...god dammit, it's in my head now. Why is Rising's soundtrack so good.

 

[Jintor]

I kinda feel like Eliza would be rocking Stranger I Remain though

The Only Thing I Know For Real would be Annie's jam

 

[Dreavus]

Nah, Mike wanted to hold it until at least this week's Salty Cupcakes.

I can get behind this.

Makes sense to see what Mike Z is cooking up before the floodgates are opened.

 

[Azure J]

Do you guys know how long it took me to find good Diebuster gifs to edit into that last post of mine?

 

[suzu]

I like Annie's design, I just don't like all the green in her outfit.

 

[TheOGB]

I kinda feel like Eliza would be rocking Stranger I Remain though

The Only Thing I Know For Real would be Annie's jam

I thought the same thing actually

But I can't help but imagine Eliza just popping up right at "THERE WILL BE BLOOD"

 

[Kioshen]

Old news from old tweets: the two voted characters will be done before Robo Fortune. Also, still kicking around the Vita version idea. Make it cross-play with the PS3 version and I'll double dip.

Yes yes yes yes yes. I'll be able to delete marvel and sfxt in one fell swoop.

 

[Cyrano]

Nah, Mike wanted to hold it until at least this week's Salty Cupcakes.

Peter, did you see my PM?

Also, goooooooo Minette!

 

[Azure J]

Yes yes yes yes yes. I'll be able to delete marvel and sfxt in one fell swoop.

Is there anything extra needed to get a PSVita version going though? Or does developing for PS3 also net you a PSVita capable version of the game?

 

[Hours Left]

His time is so close. We're on the precipice.

 

[Loona]

That makes sense actually, I assume he wants time to finish up his planned demos for Roxie, Dahlia, and D.Violet before officially kicking off the next round.

Oh yes, Roxie demo- if this goes well, she might get a nice bump in my ranked vote.

 

[Kioshen]

I'd assume that it's less work going from ps3 to vita than say Wii U. Framework hooks for psn should be the same. What makes me worry is the ggpo based net code. Vita might not have enough horse power to run it properly. They do have a Mac and Linux port going so it looks like the Z engine is pretty portable at least.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

if the Vita had crossplay it would be great

 

[Moonlight]

Let me just say, Skullgirls on dat OLED would be something to behold.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

it's already beautiful on my screen, I can't wait for the PC version omg


I don't say it because I'm an awful player but I should play with some of you guys on that are on PSN

 

[Hitokage]

If we ever get Skullgirls 2 it should definitely include all the proposed characters.

Just so Annie fans get their way too.

>.> Wasn't the list ment for 3 games?

which are all the "proposed" chars? because we would get 4-6 characters in a sequel considering how long and expensive this whole business is.

 

[Hitokage]

>.> Wasn't the list ment for 3 games?

Ok, leave out characters like Aeon and Hubrecht.

Edit: What the hell am I thinking? Hubrecht would be an amazing troll character.

 

[SolarPowered]

SG2 would probably be capped at eight new characters unless Capcom buys the IP and illegally clones Mike Z.

Ok, leave out characters like Aeon and Hubrecht.

Edit: What the hell am I thinking? Hubrecht would be an amazing troll character.

How? Everyone loves the big bruiser. He'd be the new Haggar except more huggable.

 

[Troubled Bat]

I don't say it because I'm an awful player but I should play with some of you guys on that are on PSN

I'll take you on with my Filia/Parasoul and Double!

 

[Slavik81]

Is the actual show any good? It looks cool.

 

[Hitokage]

Hagger doesn't fill the screen with heart effects like Heart in AH3.

 

[SolarPowered]

The scene doesn't deserve Hubrecht.

I've been skeptical about the alternative voting / instant run-off method that we'll be using in this next vote but this video a Gamefaqs user highlighted really explains the benefits of the system.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y3jE3B8HsE

I'm convinced!

With this method the base splitting that would occur with people simultaneously going for Annie and Minette (as an example, not saying that the bases are necessarily analogous) is mitigated and a character that's more representative of the base's wants is chosen.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Ignore the man. Trust me no good comes from it when he wants he turns into his ultimate form of God's Neckbeard and starts acting elitist towards fanbases.

It's ok. We're friends so I'll help you find the cure to your illnesses

 

[Troubled Bat]

The scene doesn't deserve Hubrecht.

But I really want Hubrecht in. D:

Yep. But it also means that if there are lots of people who prefer them as the 1st and 2nd choice, they have a huge chance of getting a victory over a character like Beowulf, who likely has a very vocal minority (again, by getting rid of strategic voting, it's likely that characters with less likely pluralities may get preferential treatment).
