Skullgirls DLC Character vote | The Campaign united us, The Voting will destroy us

Adam could be the best "Head Swap" character ever; Just make the 2 subordinates into different head guys with mostly the same moves, save for 1 or 2 specials / reactions, which could be different only by special effect, even.

Would be a nice way to squeeze some guest appearances of plainly-clothed characters in there.

Combined with palette trickery, could probably come up with a lot of unique options (Such as a team that has all 3 colors of a KoF team, one on each character), get one to look like they're wearing a solid shirt, one to look as if his has a pattern, etc.

Eyepatch'd Adam with "Ralf" and "Clark" subordinates would single character slot of the forever, ha.

You know, that's actually a great idea... The Ryu/Ken Shoto-sharer characters of the series with their own unique traits. That'd be rad. I'd vote for that.

Fufufufufu...

Oooooooo I hope that means fun.

I like Irvin pretty much because he's a PI, and I think a PI character in the setting would be really interesting.

I am also a really big fan of classic crime fiction. So yeah.

EDIT: The soundtrack is at 320kb/s...

I LOVE YOU GUYS THIS MUCH
 
I think this applies to so many characters that I just hope we get a Skullgirls 2. In the meantime I just really want the PC release to happen so I can start playing again.

Kinda random but if there's a Skullgirls 2 I think it'd be cool if they let us vote the characters for it as well (at least partially).

Naaaaaaaah

We gave them all the data they need and we shouldn't be highjacking the game's development when they've got their own story considerations to follow. They've given up a lot for the fans as is. They can set aside a slot or two for some favorites who don't have strong story relevance if possible.
 
If you had a tier with Credits, there should be a place for you to click to put it in.
Turns out I was just dumb and didn't make NoScript allow the right things on the Humble page.

Definitely. I just look at that whole bunch and want the cast full of 'em.

I could see us putting one character up for a vote again, but not the whole roster. Need to put priority on letting Alex finish the canon story.

Cool. I love the vote, but I think 2 or 3 fan choice characters is more than generous.

Giving you guys the chance to put out the game(s) that are true to the team's vision is the most important IMO.

I think it'd be really cool as characters are revealed through videos and whatnot having a poll that culminates in the final character. Seeing them revealed via a video would be hype (for those who voted for them at least).
 
I think leaving extraneous elements to fan vote is fine, but you really want a design team to be absolutely sure as to their vision for the core of a project imho

Yeah, I feel that if we just had voted rosters, we'd never get certain pivotal characters in the game simply because they are less-desired than others.

That and we'd have openings for more characters in other games and whatnot, too.

I say keep voted characters at no more than 2 while the rest are prepped by the team outside of other influences.

How many games have had fans vote in characters?

The only other example I can think of is KOF97, where Gamest and SNK let the fans pick a team, and they picked Billy/Mary/Yamazaki. Lots of salty Duck King fans (he was 4th).

You gotta do the characters that fit a game the best- fans don't always vote in good characters.
 
Just speaking broadly, accepting fan input is fine as long as it's filtered in some manner. Imagine if fans were actually voting on the mechanics of the characters. Yeeessssssh
 
Think I've figured out my vote

Molly
Beowulf
Scythana
Minette
Black Dahlia
Isaac
Brain Drain
Taliesin
Adam
Panzerfaust
 
I think a quick look at mine and J's lists should be enough to disprove the silly idea of Eliza voters as some monolithic group.

Jeez, man, didn't you get the memo? The group is going to be pissed at your list! :P

There is some eerily strong coincidence going on here, no lies. I was almost about to find someone to swap for Scythana but I like Molly a lot.

Talesin is slowly becoming the Eliza of the guys for me (cool design, cool place in the story [a guy who literally objectifies women in a game about action badass women? That's inspired.], and cool mechanics) but even with that, I'm still gung-ho on the Annie/Feng/Black Dahlia trains.
 
Eh, I wouldn't want any of the initial roster for SG2 to be voted on, personally. It's a nice gesture, but not one that should become expected, y'know?

And I want dat canon, so :V


Fufufufufu...
I already see through your ruse this time, pal <_<

1 Beowulf
2 Scythana

5 Beatrix
6 Feng
7 Roxie
8 Panzerfaust

12 Marie
13 Ottomo
14 Minette
15 Andy

Quoting myself so I don't freak out and forget my order later :P

I fully agree with this. Maybe a vote on a post-release DLC character would be nice, but I'd really like the main game to be as close to Alex's initial vision as possible. I kind of bought the first game primarily for the story (though I also enjoy the gameplay very much).

Let's not dwell on that anymore. It won't end well.
So I bought this game on impulse... there's a 596MB update. What's it for?

Check the second update. The OP will be useful for these sorts of things. It's a gigantic amount of stuff that adds features and changes the game in significantly (think Vampire Hunter to Vampire Savior).
 
Holy shit I am getting my ass hammered online. That really long Parasoul combo destroys me.
It also seems like everybody uses the Filia+Parasoul combo, I want to be original :V
This is an amazingly fun game, I'm really having a blast.
