I believe Double was the previous skullgirl, or is some sort of servant of the skull heart that turns one into a skull girl. not sure.
I haven't bought my PSN card yet but I can't wait to get it for I can buy this game. I just wish the day would go quicker.

There's boobs man, we can't take it serious with the boobs. It's not also full priced and filled with bullshit DLC, there must be a reason!

People said that about KOFXIII as well, but KOF is getting plenty of love at tournaments.
If Skullgirls doesn't take off, I don't think it will be because it's not a Capcom game.

I'm glad they corrected Capcom's ills of including an in-game command list in their games.
I mean, I have a smartphone now, so why would I need such a thing, Capcom?

KOF is only taking off because MLG picked it up. If there was no money in it, you'd hear nothing about it.

Or maybe it won't take off because people won't like it by it's own merits? Jesus, everything is not capcoms fault.
Maybe it will take off or maybe it won't. We shall see. What if people honestly don't find it fun and unappealing? Heaven forbid.
Hope it does well though.

Which has nothing to do with it being a non-Capcom game.
And KOFXIII has gotten hype from a lot of quarters, despite the superstition that people in the US only play Capcom. (Lets ignore all the Tekken guys...)
More generally I realize it's the cool thing right now to make Capcom and their mistakes seem like the pivot by which fighting games swing, but that's simply not the case. I think this trend we have is pretty dumb, whereby people feel the need to point out how awesome a FG is because it's "nothing like what Cacpcom would do". Then respond to criticisms of a non-Capcom game with, effectively, "so what it's not Capcom that's what matters".
I realize I'm contributing to thread derail, but right now it seems you cannot have a discussion about a fighting game without a noticeable number of people coming in to crow about how great it is, that it's not a Capcom game.
And at a certain point, it seems to become implicit in their attitudes that if you're not ONE WITH THE REBEL, the brave freethinker who has renounced the swill that Capcom puts out, you're just a sheeple. Not like us smart people over here playing anything that's not a Capcom game, just for the sake of it not being published by Capcom.
It's like people to only come into a thread to say they play Battlefield to strike a blow at Activision and Call of Duty. Clap clap clap, stick a gold star on their beret and hand them a cookie.
Sorry, I'll shut up now.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
No command list seems a really weird oversight. Like... I dont even really understand it at all. Still picking this up at some point, but it kinda takes the "flawless execution" polish off of the whole package.

Nah it's fair, I think the primary reason people behave that way with regards to non-Capcom games is that there is an extremely large majority of people who will shit on any fighting game that isn't by Capcom, and simply ignore it right out of the gate, even though it may be a far better product, thus it will not do as well.
That power has far more control over whether or not a game does well than whether or not it's good. Being good now a days has little to no effect on sales. It's all marketing and social acceptance.

Day 1 purchase for me. We just have to wait until the PSN updates.
Capcom sabotage!?
Don't forget our day 1 gafbat, we still have 4 spy open just tell me if you want in.
Yes, as long as the update goes through on time. It's in the OP.
At first I felt this was an oversight as well, but Ravidrath already touched up on it. Memory usage is almost at full capacity so it was difficult to implement. Hopefully if possible they will patch it in.

Thats the very definition of an oversight.

At least they let everyone know before they bought the game, and provided the move lists via their website. If something like this is going to stop anyone from buying Skullgirls... they weren't going to buy it in the first place.

but that goes both ways. there are a ton of people who hate on capcom just because capcom.
one of the reasons capcom fighting games are popular are because they make mainstream fighting games. regardless of whether or not the game is good, its important to have a lot of players in order to have a healthy scene. in a way, i feel like skullgirls is almost shooting itself in the foot by creating what looks/feels/smells/etc like a niche game. its not impossible for a niche game to transfer over into mainstream status, but it'd have to have a lot of good things about it in order to achieve that.

Yikes, I thought it was because you guys were turning on the forums.
sooo, worst case scenario we upload the movelist to mediafire for everyone to download right?
Seems to me like the opposite is happening far more often.

Boobs are always a plus.
Always.
If I wasn't ungodly broke right now I would be day 1. Just bought a fightstick with my birthday money so I need all the figthing games I can get to justify the purchase lol.

I thought I read somewhere there would be a smartphone move list available at some point. I kinda prefer that instead of an in-game one.

I really, really wish I could fix that without regging a new account
It's okay, some said the same thing.

Hahahaha! The best post.
Haha, that's almost word for word what I immediately said in my head when I saw those quotes. Good stuff, please post more.
Slowly going through the UltraChen from last night, and I am very disappointed to hear there is no input display in the training mode. That is a pretty big feature for me since I am constantly trying to clean up my sloppy inputs and is always a big help when I can't do something and I don't know why. Hope it's on the short list for things to be patched in.
