They're caused by two separate glitches from what I hear. The easier to fix one was apparently responsible for like 95% of them, but not all. I think they just fixed the easy-to-fix one and put in DWU.
When I have more time on Wednesday I'll start taking down names on a first come first served basis. 18 people max (since that's all I'm willing to manage on my own). After that, would you guys prefer forming the teams on your own, playground style, or using a randomizer?
Edit: technically 17 people max. Since I'll be participating. TO power abuse!

Somebody lied to you. We've known they were more than likely still in, I just didn't think I'd make it so fats. PS, that particular set up kinda blows, I'm pretty sure there are better ones. The 50/50s seem to be a lot more solid.
I was being somewhat sarcastic. I remember Capcom / Combo saying they'd fix unblockables, but I knew the player base would search them out.
I haven't seen yours, yet, too busy at work. Will be many hours before I get home and lay my hands on my beautiful Bison.

Also the lower res for PS3 seems like a good sign for performance.
We have an Aksys guy here? If you read this, can you divulge anything about PS3 version performance? I want to buy your product but it's kinda attached to a console purchase and I'd rather not make the wrong choice on that front.
Isn't the arcade version 720? Won't the PS4 simply be upsampled?

It's a 3D game.

Where's that House of M picture when you need it. :lol
Re: the SG discussion from the last few pages..
All Skullgirls needed to beat Melee was not have development shuttered by the publisher going broke. That was close to a year of downtime and several months of 'waiting-for-patch' hell, and it was time that could have been spent pumping out more DLC characters. IMO, that's it. Divisive artstyle or whatever, the game was a commercial success; if some real post-launch support/presence had been possible like it normally should have been, the game would definitely be healthier today.
(Saying this ignores a lot of the other things that were a hassle to SG's development like Reverge Labs-something being a sort of pox, Konami generally being booty-butt-cheeks-tier as a publisher, -The Curse- being what it is, etc. But I think that the game itself would have ultimately been in a much better place despite these things.)
I agree that Melee is the greater giant by far on paper, but their community's level of organization was really lacking with regards to the potential support they could have mustered. Assuming they could have a larger fanbase than they did then, the fact that SG could arrange things like voice actor and developer events/prizes is something that would have only had that much more weight. I think the fact that so much money had to change hands in the last few moments for Melee to win demonstrates that SG had a very real chance of putting that contest away.
Skullgirls' artstyle is what it is. The poster who said that without Ahad there wouldn't be a Skullgirls is right; There's no need to project this game as the next great FGC symbol that could-have-been or something. Aesthetically these guys made, and are making, the fighting game they wanted to make. It just so happens that Mike Z is part of them, and as a result the engine behind that game ended up becoming really solid as he iterated over it.
There's nothing wrong for not playing a fighting game because you don't like the aesthetic. But in the FGC you just need to be given one reason to think it's OK to shit on a game you don't play, and by that metric Skullgirls had a lot of low-hanging fruit.

#3 with the possibility of dropping to #5. lol I mean, this is coming from the same guy who said no one does anything with Cammy other than Kbrad. Ignoring ChiRithy, Y, Xiaohai, Dakou, Dafeet fucking lee beating Justin Wong, Bokkin, LPN, Alioune, Popi, that dude from Kuwait that beat both Ryan Hart and Justin with Cammy...
It's just theory fighter. That showed from his opinion of Fei being solely based on hearsay from Eduardo. And it's coming from someone saying, "I haven't played Street Fighter in the longest time."
Ah okies. It's nothing special, just an unblock. The way I figured it out was cute but eh, I expect to see better by the time I wake up from this nap.

We don't.
Average people are happy with average results. Personally, I loathe mediocrity.
So what does this do for the graphics when you take a 720 and make it 1080? What changes?

Just looked back at the other pages since you mention it and I see someone shitting on Skullgirls' backgrounds. This is why we can't have nice things. I get not liking the characters, but c'mon lol.
All I'm saying is, I 100%ed P4. P3's battle mechanics were lackluster enough that I put it down almost immediately - after maybe 5 dungeon runs - and never touched it again.

I actually understand where he's coming from. At retail there were definitely some stages that didn't look too hot.
Now, though...

They're pretty amazing in motion, too.
yo damn
Oh wow, I've never seen these. I'd also agree that Skullgirls' backgrounds were pretty ugly at release, but it seems newer ones look way better.

Needs more daylight rooftop stage and big band's stage. Eliza's stage looks okay, but I prefer the others. Can't wait to see what they do for Beowulf's stage.
Edit: I love that rough penciled look in the backgrounds. It's like the modern day pixel effect for me. Something damn near no other fighting games have today.

When you increase the resolution everything's sharper because the size of the display is increased.
Pretty bad explanation I know, just compare a PC game at 800x600 versus 1920x1080 for a clear difference.
I also lol'd when I saw that. River King Casino, both versions of Meridian Rooftops, day new Eliza stage, etc. are all so great. I can understand if he means the background NPCs though, but they contributed a hell of a lot to the IGG so it is what it is.

H&H Mode necessity.
wat
It's not though, you can tell from the menus and the lack of icons in the gameplay.
the stuff nightmares are made of

You can't even do that in H&H. The Army of One card lets you play the same character three times, but you can't call any assists or tag.

As long as the texture assets aren't hideous, the image quality can only improve with a higher resolution.

I love videos that are recorded with toasters. The glitch isn't that big of a deal though because no TO would allow it, right? RIGHT?

I think we can infer that it's a netplay only thing.
Awesome. Been watching a lot of footage for this game and I'm pretty excited.
WHAT DAH FUCK????????
Holy shit game changer.... if you can do this "glitch" offline then the game is changed forever (probably for the worse because people will just do shit like Two Zeros one Dante).
The guy said that he can pick Vergil/Doom/Vergil if he wants.
MK X confirmed UE3. *goes back to laughing*
Vergil/Doom/Vergil might really be the best team...?
Good job, Epic twitter account. Boon probably blew a gasket when that first tweet went out.
