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

Hmmm...

So is this a thing that's really happening for real this time?
 
I almost forgot to vote because I am terrible at democracy.

As always, Panzerfaust number one, Beoslippers number never, who cares for the in-between numbers.
 
The various TF2 forums are now going crazy...I'm not even kidding. Speculation about the Squiggly Leviathan, the Big Band Saxophone item, Peacock, and the rest of the SG cast is going all over the place.

Is that a Nix created item as well Ravidrath?

Links to the hype? Always like reading the effects of good publicity.
 
Oh man I bet I have a fucking backlog of TF2 items from buying a tonne of games since I stopped playing

I'm going to log on and be innundated with promo hats
 
So we are getting hats?! Does everyone who donated get them or only those that backed when it was supposed to be part of the deal?

All hats exclusive for those that supported the IGG? The salt would be too delicious, but probably not going to happen. Labzero stands to benefit more if they have some exclusive items rewarded to IGG funders and also other TF2 items offered for post-IGG pre-orders.

This is my guess on how it will work:

Those who donated $30 and above during IGG, to reward those who helped the indie GO GO fund:
  • Exclusive Leviathan and Big Band item

Those who pre-order Skullgirls in any form after IGG (Post-IGG such as Humble store and Steam) ($30 and above Igg funders get this too since it's retroactive):
  • Regular item promos: Peacock item, Fillia item, other SG items (if there are more planned)

So basically:
$30 and above IGG funder = IGG exclusive items promised + regular item promos

Everyone else who pre-orders after IGG = regular item promos

Exclusive hats through kickstarters have been done before, Oculus Rift kickstarter gave out exclusive hats for those that helped donate. So it isn't out of the ordinary.

Plus there was that promise from LabZero to still try to get in those planned exclusives for IGG funders. So I think rewarding those who helped with IGG funding with some exclusives plus regular pre-order SG items would be the best way to reward IGG funders and profit out of those who pre-order later.

I think that would be the smart move, but I'm sure Ravidrath will divulge the pertinent information on how this all works when the time is near :P
 
They should give exclusive hats to everyone that would've gotten one originally so that there can be much salt from the people that asked for a refund just because hats weren't going to be a thing afterall.

After that, they should also give pre-order exclusive hats for the PC version which all backers that would get the PC beta would receive too.
 
Valve allows alternative weapon skins?

Yep, all the time. There are reskins of weapons already in the game and also weapons with totally new stats.

For example, the scythe could replace the Pyro's rake stats or it could have totally new stats.

Also, if you guys want to help support Skullgirls, log in and vote for those hats to get in!
 
Has there been any crying about the hats on the Steam forums yet?

I need some salt to start off my Saturday morning right.

The hats will be for anyone who preorders the game IGG or post-IGG it seems - as the hats still need to get voted and put in the game. So there shouldn't be any salt as that gives a chance for people to still pre-order the game if the hats get in.

Booooo

That's boring. You've let money cloud your troll ways, Ravidrath!
 
Well shit, I didn't think any of the hats would be public until I Finalized them.

Guess I better finish off all the screens, descriptions, etc. now.
 
Here's a link with all the links for voting!

Get people voting, yo.
.

Which reminds me, are you going to update the site to reflect that SG is now not directly affiliated with Reverge and has an official forum now?

Just finished favouriting and liking all of the items. Almost every hat on there is something I'd use when playing TF2. The animated ones are excellent. Fortune and Cerebella's ones are the weakest but they're still pretty cool too.

EDIT: One other thing - the Big Band hat image also shows the saxophone, but they are distinct items, right?
