I wrote in that L0 should do a Sequel to DONG DONG NEVER DIE.

It would be amazing.

 

[Rhapsody]

Those are our top 10? I'm fine with anyone winning besides Venus. Disappointed Marie didn't make it.

 

[sqwarlock]

Aeon
Feng
Minette
B. Dahlia
Venus
Annie
Isaac
Stanley
Beowulf
Panzerfaust

Bumped Feng up to my #2 since I wanted to give her a little more support since I really don't think Aeon is going to win.

 

[SDBurton]

OMG OMG OMG SHE HAS MODOKA SWAG TRANSFORMATION!

Pleeease vote for her people! Vote for your first pick if need be, just have her above Beowulf. Please!

The Annie concepts are awesome. Sagan install is dope.

Vote #Annie.

edit: I voted for metroid...even though I would love to see someone like Peacock have something like a neomax. >.>

 

[Jawmuncher]

Umbrella sells it.
Still sad she didn't even make it to the top 10.

 

[TheOGB]

All my "Support, pls" peeps are out... as expected. RIP in peace Scythana, Beatrix, Taliesin, Roxie. You did good.

Now, we move forward as planned.

BEOWULF, THE TIME HAS COME FOR YOU TO CLAIM THE CHAMPIONSHIP BELT!

Annie... You are a formidable foe, and should disaster strike... I would be honored to have you at #2.

Panzerfaust will round out this Top 3, being the most personally fitting after these two.


And Lab Zero:
Platforming beat-em-up. Like Mega Man but punchkicking instead of shooting. Or just one of the two, idk man you guys rock, just make something and I'll throw money at it ;P

Annie and Beowulf look badass standing next to each other like that.

They gotta team up some day. ;~;

 

[Troubled Bat]

*gasp* Annie.. All the concepts for her are pretty awesome, getting closer and closer, what she will or can be capable of. I love it.

I'm really excited about her moveset, and the possibilities for it. I'm wondering what exactly her powered up mode gives her?

 

[SolarPowered]

I'm so happy Feng made top 10. It's good to know that her playstyle and inspirations are appreciated.

Dat top 10

I know, but I feel like everyone thinks Annie begins and ends with Sol + space from looking outside in. I was hoping the attack concept art would shake that impression up a bit, not reinforce it.

Fair enough

I don't mind it too much because I just want a fun sword character and Sol is fun. She'll definitely have her quirks if the team gets to make her. Me thinks people would still troll about her being a boring character no matter what kind of concepts she has.

Annie and Beowulf look badass standing next to each other like that.

They gotta team up some day. ;~;

I can tell you the most popular Skullgirls teams by SG3.

Marie+Peacock
Parasoul+Peacock+Annie
Beowulf+Annie
Venus+Aeon
Isaac+Scythana

 

[TheOGB]

Fffffffffuck, the allure of Annie vs. Eliza story foreshadowing is growing... Still standing strong for Beo, but hnnnngg.......

 

[Loona]

You sure as hell won't see any opposition from me if the gears start moving on a new Garou game.

None expected I'm not antagonistic toward the way SG plays, it's just not really my preference, but I'd be curious to see Mike's know-how at work on a system more to my liking.

I hope the results of these polls are also revealed to see the odds of it ever happening.

First time seeing her and I like her already. At least she has more common sense than Makoto who is just asking to have her neck broken.

The way I see it, Makoto is just so damn badass she has that thing on her neck as a handicap, so that if someone actually manages to get behind her she considers it an auto-loss.
Feng can't really compare, especially if she needs those birds to do half her work.

 

[CrazyTank940]

lol so many pages since I went to sleep, too much work to read them all. Anyways, TIME FOR MY VOTE


Expand on genre:
Brawler

Make a sequel:
Darkstalkers

Actual character vote:
1- Isaac
2 - Panzerfaust
3 - Beowulf
4 - Stanley
5 - Aeon
6 - Venus
7 - Annie
8 - Black Dahlia
9 - Feng (Don't really care much for her)
10 - Minette (Just fry up already get out of here)



disclaimer - I'll be happy with anyone from my top 8 picks winning this one.

 

[Moonlight]

Kind of an idle thought, but I'm a bit amused thinking of Eliza (or even Double's) relationship with Annie. Her duty as a Skullgirl slayer is framed as a dayjob, so I almost can't help but imagine it like this.

Please don't get hyped for Annie. It'll just make it hurt more when Aeon ends up winning

Weird there were only 9 characters this round. My voting was *definitely* affected by getting my top choice in Vote 1.

Voted for L.0 to make a Guardian Heroes style game.

I've been wondering the same thing.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

aaaaaaaaroooooooooooooooo

 

[C.Olimar788]

Genre: Metroidvania
Game: After much deliberation, Metroid

Isaac / アイザック
Minette / ミネット
Annie / アニー
Feng / フェン
B. Dahlia / ブラック・ダリア
Panzerfaust / パンツァーファウスト
Aeon / エイオン
Venus / ヴィーナス
Stanley / スタンレー
Beowulf / ベオウルフ

As long as the second character isn't Beowulf I'll be pretty happy. I'll be especially happy if it's anyone in my top five.

 

[wildfire]

Wrote in Action/Adventure. I'm not to thrilled with the pacing of Action/RPGs.

I would rather NOT have the last few, but I'll pretty much be fine with anyone winning. Beowulf the most. Beowulf.

beowulf

 

[Troubled Bat]

Everytime I see 'Beowulf' I keeping having, in thought, the same tone of chant from Super Smash Bros. when they say Ganondorf... Don't know why.

 

["God's Beard!"]

I want Panzerfaust to win.

 

[SerRodrik]

I'm a little surprised at how much Annie has grown on me. I'm really digging her cosmic theme, and I wouldn't mind a relatively simple, basic character given how garbage I am at fighting games most of the time.

Spoiler

Who the fuck is voting for Aeon

This is the greatest mystery of the campaign.

 

[Loona]

Voted for L.0 to make a Guardian Heroes style game.

The brawler option (which I voted for), or you wrote that in specifically?

It just seemed like the natural option considering a lot of gameplay principles would be sort of adaptable, but the odd RPG/stat-em-up element like guardian Heroes had would be welcome.

Wrote it in specifically, because brawler was too general to capture the three-plane, button sequence & combo driven action/RPG goodness of Guardian Heroes. One of my favorite games of all time.

 

[commanderpepper]

I'm happy Feng or D. Dahlia made it in. Really I'll be happy if any of these characters get in except for Minette and Aeon.

It's too late for that, but I sure hope she gets in if Beo doesn't

 

[Loona]

Mike did demonstrate a tweak to the engine to make the game work with a Z axis, which i prefer to see working in a more continuous way than a discrete 3+ layer system. Depending on how collisions would work, if at all, across that axis, that concept might be simpler to implement from existing code.


It just ocurred to me such a game could star Scythana, either during her incursion into the Canopy kingdom that got her arrested, or her escape, or both!
Prepare some Scythana sprites, expand those for the Egrets, recycle some from Parasoul, toss in Roxie, Panzer, Molly and Adam as bosses, and there ya go.
On the other hand, that'd only work for Scythana as the only character, but her weaponizing of fallen bodies is pretty much asking for this.

 

[Beckx]

Scythana would take the place of undead hero.

The characters slot really nicely into GH archetypes.

Annie for Han (simple melee)
Filia for Serena (advanced melee)
Valentine for Nicole (healing)
Peacock for Randy (nuker)
Parasoul for Genjiro (light melee / nukes)


3 planes so that you can do D,F or U,U (etc.) motions for moves.

You should play Phantom Breaker Battlegrounds, it's a straight brawler but it mimics some aspects of GH

Lets go #teamSharkTank

(Also, Feng, Issac, Beowulf, or Black Dahlia is fine. Sorry, part of me wants some Annie salt).

 

[Rhapsody]

1) Annie
2) Isaac
3) Feng
4) Stanley
5) B. Dahlia
6) Beowulf
7) Aeon
8) Minette
9) Panzerfaust
10) Venus

Funny how I didn't care for Annie at first. Feng... I always liked Feng, but I'd rather have Isaac before her at this point.
Also feel bad having Panzerfaust at 9th since he's pretty cool.

 

[SAB CA]

Annie Concepts: ... it makes her look even more plain, actually. There's normally a twist, or something about these art concepts that makes me see the characters in a new, more in depth light, but she just didn't do it for me. I think Annie is just the "anti Magical girl" for me, since the themes I liked in something like Sailor Moon seem to be absent from her. Bleh.

Molly Concepts: Man, Molly had *Macross Missles* stored in the phone, that's something I really had hoped for, lol. Most of her stuff is pretty predictable in these images too, but I am surprised at how much she seems to use the back phone area as a weapon. Everything about her suggest that her + Mech would be one of the most unique "heavy" additions to the game, alongside Big Band, followed by Scythana.

Beowulf Images: .... Ok. Man, nothing about his art excites me, haha. I want to look at him as the "cool dude who'se respected by all" similiar to Terry Bogard, but I just don't get that feeling. He keeps reminding me of the "other"wrestlers that just didn't have a solid enough theme to stand out, amongst the "sure hit!" big guys.

I get the "underdog" appeal from him, which is a good consolation prize.

These concepts help cement my Minette vote for this round. She seems like she could be an exceptional take on her archetype, while most of the others, for me, seem either to be a bit too straightforward in their concept (Annie, Beo), too Similiar to other characters we'll have by the time this one is released (Panzer, Dahlia, Venus), or just not fleshed out enough for me to wanna rally behind them (Isaac ).

I think the only real change of opinion I've gotten from round 2 voting, for remaining characters is... Feng is cooler. Yay Feng!
