Will this game get a retail boxed copy in Japan?
Not sure on that, although that was on their to do list Allllooooooooong time ago before all the crazy law suit shit happened.
They are getting a release in japanese arcades though, through the NESICA system.

That sucks
We don't exactly know what happened yet, but it seems like it was a Rackspace issue that wiped it.

I need a way to see what all the buttons are configured to in the beta.
Or a list of what all the default buttons are.

I assume you aren't using an Xinput controller (such as a 360 controller).
They said that they were gonna do it after the game has a good number of characters. Maybe after they finish Umbrella, Marie and B. Dahlia? That would mean though that it's at least two years away.

Go into controller options on the main menu and have a look? I could make a video later if you want.
Anyway:
It has come to my attention that my Ms Fortune is horribly ass. It is a disease I can fight with help from other people with advice about how she ticks in Squigly Edition. Help?

While that might work on the console version, it doesn't in the beta. The beta only has that damn config all option.

For gameplay I think but not sure.
Why does it even matter when you can make them whatever though?

Because the last time I tried, I couldn't make them whatever. Player 1's keys couldn't be set over Player 2's keys.

So remember when I was talking about Divekick basically dumbing down Squigly as a character and giving no incentive to use any of her stance based mechanics? Yeah well that changed with the new patch, Divekick nerfs incoming and I am 100% all for them.
Here's the effect of the changes to MK Divekick :
So basically this addresses the Divekick loop by shortening it, it addresses the ability to use Divekick in any situation to open up someone into a full combo, and ultimately it makes the character more reliant on her Stance based nature.
Squigly's feeling quite fine at the moment.
Here's the effect of the changes to MK Divekick :
- Can't combo into Medium Strength Buttons
- Won't combo into Lights if the Divekick connects too high on the opponent's hitbox (need to tag their feet)
- Won't autocorrect if you normal jump over the opponent

Well, that's kinda what betas are for, balancing and bug fixing (and testing if your servers can handle the load, which isn't necessary for this game, what with it being a combination of Steamworks matchmaking and P2P hosting).

I am getting more and more and MORE f*cking bored by the online netcode. For 10 matches I try to play, I can play two or three, and all the others are "getting connection info" for ages and then "error getting info".
I don't understand what's going on, the online play was perfect when the beta started and it's getting worse and worse as patchs are added. It's a chance I can play with almost everyone even if they have a 200 ping, either I would have stopped playing the game.
Edit : and once again, the only way to get rid of this is to hard reboot my internet box... -_-

Online definitely feels like it's in a state of flux right now, Solar and I had great matches a couple weeks ago but today we were pretty plagued with rollbacks in random areas. Still playable overall but definitely more annoying.
I guess it's weird playing a beta that's ACTUALLY beta vs. the "Betas" that you see on console which act more like marketing campaigns for the finished product.
Have you written that up and sent it to bugreport (at) labzerogames (dot) com?
I... don't like Squigly with this new divekick.
I liked her because there was always a mixup with varying LK and MK divekicks, and she had an actual way to convert midair hits. Note, that if someone blocked and landed they could punish the divekick regardless of my desire to pressure them (and many people have, with throws, DPs and lights).
Now, MK divekick is pretty much LK divekick in combos, and LK divekick's sole purpose in life is to convert from air throws. So, the mixup is gone, and with it not crossing up she loses a LOT of pressure potential. Hitting divekick from a jump has no reward (Opera can't hit from that distance except in the corner), and so it's become a game of NEVER using divekick. Without divekick her options are limited to trying to reset with very specific and obvious things.
IF (not saying that was the reason, but after reading the patch notes) the purpose was to make c.HP not link from low MK divekick, why not slow down c.HP a few frames (maybe to have the same startup as s.HK so it can still combo from lights), and remove just enough hitstun from MK divekick to not allow it to combo EVER into s.HK? The change combined should not allow c.HP to hit from a low MK divekick, and that way she can still combo mediums from MK divekick (no, she can't combo c.MK no matter how low the divekick), without alowing heavies to do so.
And before anyone says "but stance cancels!", remember that there is no point in stance cancels if you can't get a hit in. Divekick was her tool to get in, and now it does not work as it should.
edit: HA, nevermind me. Consider me drunk. I think I like it.

What changed your mind?
The fact that it didn't really affect me much. I used it for hit confirms in the air that were too stupid and to add a little but of damage to the end of combos.
OH, and that MK divekick -> sing level 2 -> Daisy Pusher actually works.
Not really sure how much good this'll do since most people in this thread seem to already be in the beta, but for those that haven't yet dipped in Gamefly has a coupon that can knock off $3 off the price ( GFDJUL20 ). It'll still have access to the beta when it opens tomorrow so it's as good a place to purchase it as any if Steam doesn't do a pre-order sale as well.

The Squigly divekick nerf is terrible. It breaks her bnb.
I was lauding that SG was getting a character that wasn't annoying to combo with. Now that's gone. -.-

I thought folks who buy-in tomorrow didn't get beta access- that was just for donators? (personally I say let them in as it increases playerbase- and means I might actually be able to win on occasion)
I still can't figure out how to air combo beyond basic chains.

Restand the opponent or relaunch to continue the juggle.
The part I don't get is the 6-7 normals between the restands/relaunches.
I can do restand/relaunch (though with the issue in the middle, it doesn't work right on everyone.)

I already did it on the beta report thread in the forum before it crashed. Do you want me to send it in case of it was not read in time ?

Someone should probably throw up a thread since the Steam page is up. It's $14.99 for the game, $24.99 for a 2-pack, and $44.99 for a 4-pack. You get instant access to the beta by picking it up now.

Bugs about the Steam listing:
Currently advertises the $25 2-Pack as the default pricetag. It should be advertising the single game for $15
Beta is not showing up in the library of at least one preorderer (Via the IRC), he restarted his client. The beta does not show up in his library or inventory. Is this due to roll-out later, or will he have to contact support?

I pre-ordered the game but the beta isn't in my library yet. What's going on?
Yep, I can't download it.
I would also like to know about how the hats are progressing.
I think this needs to be answered.
IMO, lack of lobbies is something worth delaying the official release over. I think it's going to be necessary, esp if you have a batch of newer players- you don't want them matched up against the Salty Cupcakes though- it's just unfair.
In celebration of the new IPS, I have a new combo that takes full advantage of it!

Yeah, lobbies will be in the release version.
They're currently in testing right now, and we hope to have them in the beta early next week.
We've been trying to get them to add one. :\
If this goes away when you reboot the router, the probable cause of the problem is... your router.
I have two routers and it definitely does not play as well online with one of them (sadly, the problematic router is an expensive high end one - Asus RT-AC66. The working one is a cheap $40 dual band TP-Link flashed with OpenWRT...)
From the Facebook page:
Just gonna have to be a bit patient.
I can understand why'd they be lazy about it seeing as how with Skullgirls there are only, like, 5 fighting games on all of Steam. 4 if you don't count Super Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition as separate games. There is Injustice and the rumored Guilty Gear on the way though.
Good luck with getting them to make one!

Krackatoa's PW is explosive. It really throws me off at first so it takes a while to get used to. It's nice having strong competition besides you around with Guitalex to play against too. The lag messed with our matches last night, but it was nice playing against a good Fortune player again. I haven't had that experience since fighting Q months ago.
Tell me about it.
That was a fast turn around.
Looks like the gears are finally turning. The pictures and video are nice. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the steam image for the game. Doesn't seem very flashy.
I think they are coming before launch, but I could be wrong.
Playing online is a bit tricky right now. I've been using YoloBella to give newbies a chance, but I run the risk of meeting a beast who whoops me and disappears into the ether. It has happened quite a few times and now I'm improving with Cerebella so newbies are screwed lol.
Yeah, this is dumb. AE 2012, SFxT, MK9 and now Skullgirls are all on steam. Soon KOF and Injustice may join them. It is time for the fighting genre to be added seperately.
Edit: lol @ Guilty Gear. I'm not holding my breath on that one even if common sense grabs ASW by the throat.
