Pretty hyped for Big Band to finally be released formally on PC since he's been stuck in beta for a while.
Any ETA for Eliza btw? I'd assume Summer at the earliest?

Question for you, Ravidrath; will the Big Band update include lobbies/character changes?
We're aiming for Eliza's patch for lobbies - porting the Steam code to PSN is non-trivial, and would've significantly delayed this patch.
There will be other changes, though. We'll release the full patch notes next week, as we usually do.

So...
Much to our surprise, it looks like the 360 patch has been approved!
But...
The Title Update is available now, but the new Compatibility Update DLC is not. This means that if you get the Title Update, your game will revert to the original release.
The game is also back up for purchase on XBLA, it appears, listing Lab Zero as the developer and MarvelousAQL as the publisher.
We've contacted Microsoft for answers, but I suspect one of two things are happening:
Based on our experiences so far, I'm actually betting it's #2, but hoping it's #1.
We'll let you know more when we know more.
Edit: As suspected, it's #2. Only Skullgirls.

1. We're in a limbo period where some things are coming online, and the Compatibility Update hasn't quite yet
2. Microsoft forgot to update the Compatibility Update DLC, and everyone's screwed until Monday

Actually it's omelette au fromage. Even if an omelette with only cheese is not that good.
Oh shit. :'D
There's a trivia about him. His japanese name is Polnaref, a reference to the french singer Michel Polnaref. But for obscure reasons he's only called that way in Japan, and the french version has him be called Jeap Pierre Eiffel. So cliché.
Also yay for the Xbox 360 version! That's not 100% yay but yay anyway.

Wat? I thought that was only one of the (stupid) ASB localization name changes?
That's it then: the video game industry version of The Illuminati is real.
That's great, finally!
The screw-up bonus element is getting almost comical now but it's not a big deal at all, if they really fix it on Monday.
One question: once the patch is out, will XBLA Encore be on par with actual PSN Encore (so Squigly, the new stages and the extra colors) or will it bring Big Band and the third stage too?
Really excited anyway: I got arcade stick and fightpads for my 360 as well... And I'm gold again. Can't wait!
It'll be on-par with Tuesday's PSN version, with Big Band, etc.
Awesome, thanks alot!

I know some of the manga french edition has name changes. Not sure about him but it would not be very surprising.
We need french version of Skullgirls characters. Big Band could be Benoit Baguette.
utofhere:Oh I know since I speak French myself. I was just making a reference to a Dexter episode where he brainwashed his brain to say only that.
More on topic ... the curse is real and strikes again!

I am loving that Fukua drill assist. It lasts long enough to call in mid air to pick up your opponent in the middle of a combo so you can continue it, it can lock down folks for some fun jump pressure , and it checks people rushing in. So much fun. Liking how it pairs with Big Band and Valentine.
Duckator vs the World up on youtube Ducklazer vs The World
Some really amazing matches.
For those who don't know much about competitive SG, Duckator has won both EVO SG events, a ton of smaller SG events and is still currently one of the most dominate players. The previous Duckator vs The World, he went undefeated. A lot of players have been working hard to get up to his level.
Duckator is also a strong player in Touhou Hisoutensoku and P4A.

Nice I'll have to watch the rest of the sets, it was already too late for me so I watched until the half of the 4th set.

Yo those matches where Yaya beat Ducktator using the Squig/Band team. Really cool tech there. So much control.
Oh man, you can't make this stuff up. Congrats on the approval, I guess, but damn, you guys seem to have the worst luck. I would start investing in rabbit's feet and other good luck charms. It should now finally be over soon.

It was a good set and it's cool to watch someone with ability play the character you play.

Fake indiegogo campaign using the same info and template as Lab Zero.
Same team members, too! Except I was replaced by "Ricardo Scutt."

So the Steam version should update with Big Band today too, right? Any idea around what time that may be?
Around 10 AM PST.

Quick question since I've been out of the loop. Are there any balance or IPS changes in this patch?
