We're not using it, currently.
Do people want it to? I've always found games with things like backpad touch things frustrating because I keep accidentally tapping it while playing.
Wouldn't mind having it as an option to bind the left back and right back in the custom controls. Can't do any harm if its optional. To tap the left back or right back for assists would be pretty nice.
Vita has a grip on the back for the fingers so if your hand slips and gets that far out then you're doing it wrong. Also what can we expect for touch screen usage? Just menus I assume?
We really didn't intend to use any of this stuff, haha.
I'll ask about it, but I'm going to guess that touch screen is a no-go just because that is likey not a minor update at all, and our UI middleware is a giant hassle to do anything with.
Back screen is likely easier, but then we need to create new UI and things to communicate its function.
In short: UI is always the worst.
Vita is really pretty close to being done - we mostly need to optimize it a bit further and do MP testing with the PS4 and PS3 versions. So our priority is getting it out to everyone that preorders it tomorrow.

Alright will be pre ordering tomorrow and if the back ever becomes available I will know I made a difference! Rivitur away! Err... Yeah

Pre-orders now available.
PS4 theme looks and sounds great already.
Is the July 31 an official release date or a placeholder?

That preorder theme is insanely godlike. Nice job to the folks who made it! 
Is the Vita deal still in effect? I didn't see that in 2nd Encore's description.
Here's a blog post about the pre-orders, 2nd Encore, etc. just so everyone is on the same page.

Yeah, it is.
We weren't allowed to customize the text much.

Thanks!
Lobbies will be patched in when they're ready on all the Sony platforms.
Other than that, we might do a balance patch early next year before Evo? But nothing concrete planned right now.
Linux progress video!

No, I need to do that... really wish they'd add them to the PS4 store already.

The Linux version is looking pretty good so far. I hope it gets finished soon. SGs is pretty much the only thing I use my Windows partition for.
I think it's pretty close!
And once that's done, the Mac version won't be far off, either.

Oh man... too bad I'll be rocking that ps4 version by the time that's out.
I have to ask but is Fight Request being added to 2nd Encore? If not it should be (all fighting games should have it). It's truly an amazing feature and it helps me find games that are hard to find in my region or in dead and older games. It should be added for Training mode and arcade mode.
I'm thinking it could be extended to non-fighting games like RTS, TCG and basically any online game with 1v1.
If it is being added then will the PC version get it as well?

Something I've been meaning to ask about in the engine is hitbox assignments. I saw how the Fighting is Magic folks made their own hitbox editor and heard it was different than Lab Zero's. Is their a GUI Mike has setup now or is he coding coordinates to be drawn based on the size and positions on the art frames or what now?
Just curious how shop is being taken care of in this engine because its a pretty good neat one given everything he's gotten it to do.
Hey, so we'll have another panel at Anime Expo!

I'll have to ask Mike about this.

An exciting reveal on July 2? You guys didn't need to do something like that as my birthday present but I'll take it :V
To announce that he game came out last week? Please be that
I'm dying harder, I promise.
Will let people know what's up the second I can say something - submitting our first PS4 game has been a bit of an ordeal.

So I'm listening to the Giant Bomb E3 podcasts, and they have John Bellomy from Naughty Dog on for one segment, and a fire apparently almost destroyed all his work on the L0 driver? The Skullgirls curse still lives :lol
Yup... that happened.
Let's not forget that it also destroyed just about all of their possessions, too. Including a brand new TV. And they had to live in temporary housing for several months, with two adorable and energetic babies.

No good deed goes unpunished, huh. Hope they got some good insurance money out of that.
I haven't seen his wife around much lately (we sublet our tiny office space from her company) to ask how all of that went, but I know they had some major hassles getting made whole.
The main issue is that she's very meticulous and picked out everything to be perfect. And while the money can replace the things, they'll never replace the effort she put into their place.

So, anyone have any good team set ups for Beowulf? Ive been trying to pair him with Double, But Doubles damage seems so weak now from what I remember it being, maybe its too balance her out for having a field trap super?
not gonna give up on that team yet, maybe I could try Fukua though.....
Ive gotten way rusty at this game also. So if anyone wants a match to practice, let me know!

I've got a few teams that would work with beowulf. Having a pressure assist is godlike for him, he has so many ways to quickly open up the opponent. I use eliza's butcher blade assist for that and I have a neutral assist to help him out, which I have big band as until robo fortune comes out because her beam assist is really good. I could play some with you, but I won't be back at my house until Saturday. We could get some sets in then.
Beowulf has so many set-ups that I can't really explain them with out making a huge post about it. Beowulf has so many things to experiment with and I feel this is only the beginning of this crazy character.

Since you said Robo fortune, im guessing you play on PC
. I think I can update my Steam version by saturday. Thankfully my stick works on PC.Earlier then expected! Sweet. Still wonder what that special announcment on July 2nd is.......
Man, can't wait.

I can play on ps3 and ps4 as well. I just like robo a lot for beowulf as an assist, it can be replaced for others, but that's dependent on who your comfortable with.
