I'd like it better if it was a straight 1v1 game. There's like 6 characters, definitely not enough for a tag game. I just play with one character anyway but still.

I feel the same way too. I think it needs at least 12 characters to make tag teams more interesting/varied.

Custom assists....

 

[ihearthawthats]

Hm, really? Which attack is Cerebella's crossup?

really? she has a special move that crosses up (tumbling run -> mk).

aside from that, shes got: j.lk, j.mp, unbreakable elbow (j.down+mp). you can cancel her glide into the elbow, but the recovery on it is kinda bleh.

Day 1 Cerebella annoyance. Playing my friend last night and I basically couldn't punish like.... anything she did. He would just cancel into that gun punch or grab me.

yeah, the ability to cancel anything at anytime is pretty crazy.

 

[Hitokage]

Lol. Yeah no infinites, no loops, and no unblockables = no Beard it seems.

But it has Dio's bulldozer!

 

["God's Beard!"]

Well, all that and I don't really like the art style. Everybody moves like they're in Steamboat Willie.

But it has Dio's bulldozer!

And no Dio. Besides, it's a random move, right?

Hey guys I have entered this thread because I did buy SG and it's downloading now!

Hey buddy! ...FUUUUUU.

Aaaaand, purchased. I will make it my mission to not only become more than semi-below competent at this game but have fun doing it. If I fail. I blame Raging Spaniard.

Marie's last form is some annoying bullshit. Shout outs to Peacock's Fat Man super sorting her nonsense out.

I was rushing myself since I had things to take care of during the last boss fight, so I wasn't really paying attention to her patterns or audio cues. How're you guys approaching her in your fights?

And I lamed her ass out lol.

I actually ran the clock out on her. Dem bombs giving me the edge at the last second.

 

[LunaticHigh]

How are you supposed to do Cerebellas Tumbling run into MK anyway? whenever I do it she just runs differently. I can do the other tumbling run moves easy.

 

[Ravensmash]

So how is this game for newcomers to fighting games?

Will try the trial before I sleep, but just want something I can get to grips with.

If you're on PSN, I'd be more than happy to play and I'll even lose a round or two on purpose

 

[ihearthawthats]

its dependent on range; gotta be close. for example a simple mixup would be:
c.lp, c.mp, hp xx tumbling run into
↳ lk into command throw or jab
↳ mk for cross-up
↳ hk for the armor if they start trying to mash jab

 

[shaowebb]

Well, all that and I don't really like the art style. Everybody moves like they're in Steamboat Willie.

Like I said to each their own. Its a good way to stand out from the competition though and Filia's ex DP move is what got the game greenlighted with the publisher. In a sea of imitators find a way to stand out to a publisher. The art did it.

We both know why I go for this. I went into animation and this uses the 12 principles SO MUCH. Beautiful to watch for me as an animator. Its like an interactive cartoon. I know your more of a bronze sculptor so its likely not your cup of tea.

Still those custom assists open up so much possibilities for a fighter. I know thats something you'd like to have in marvel. You probably have a notebook full of ideas for shit you'd pull if you could custom input certain stuff as an assist in that game lol.

I zoned her out with Peacock and activated the fat boy point blank during the end of her

transformation.

Also jumping shotgun ad nauseum. The spam though made the latter kind of risky. Hard to get in if you aint staying on top of her. You can also do the projectile hyper during

Spoiler

the final transformation

after it starts. The first whifs but if you timed it at the right range so not to get knocked out of it and at the right moment you can land most of the last half for decent enough.

Thanks. sick move, now to find out how to combo off it.

Custom assists....

I'm talking in terms of characters. I don't doubt there will be all sorts of crazy set-ups and shenanigans with the available characters & custom assists.

 

[QisTopTier]

Who wants to play on psn soonish?

 

[Axis]

ok ppl the game is out already, who wants in. we dont necessarily need 8, but 6 should be the minimum.

i would participate in this


GT: vexco

[El Sloth]

Custom assists make me ashamed of my sloppy inputs. I end up redoing the motions every time until I'm satisfied with how they look.

 

[ihearthawthats]

Thanks. sick move, now to find out how to combo off it.

it combos off of hp, and the move itself is a wallbounce so a lot of combo opportunities. however the link for that is pretty tight.

another trick you can do is use it after her c.mk launcher for a reset:
c.lp, c.mp, c.hp (launch), j.lp, j.lk, j.hk (hard knockdown), c.lk (otg), c.mk (relaunch) xx tumbling run mixup

I'll play. What's your PSN?

I just found out that the corner combos that I'm practicing don't work because they're techable. The hit counter still goes up so I thought they were fine. Oh well.

remember one set of 3 out of 5, any ratio, time and damage set to default.

 

[bestpersonevar]

I'm really loving this game, but I'm having trouble using any other character than Filia. The tutorials helped me master some of her combos. I wish each character had their own tutorial like that. Where can learn orher character's combos?

 

[SupaNaab]

Jump ins are probably the easiest thing to abuse in Skullgirls. There may be no high/low unblockables but there certainly isn't any system stopping burnkick-like mix-ups. It's like everyone is C. Viper and it's awesome.

 

[AEREC]

So how is this game for newcomers to fighting games?

Will try the trial before I sleep, but just want something I can get to grips with.

It's probably on the same level of SF as far as timing and stuff goes...so not really newcomer friendly. But the training mode explains the mechanics of a fighting game better than SF ever has.

I'm a newcomer and the tutorials are incredibly helpful. However, as my previous post says the tutorial just gets you up to speed with one of the characters.

Sorry to hear that - we're definitely looking at adjusting the difficult of the single player content in an update.

Also, Umbrella was inspired by the Morton's salt girl.

Pick your character. Find the "Chain Combo" section in that characters guide and piece together ground and air chain combos. You will have to form your own more advanced combos since it's Day 1 using these chains, specials and game mechanics.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Juggling fortune's head is awesome.

[Spirit of Jazz]

Painwheel's such a good character, her lock down and instant overheads are nuts. I just wish that her level 3 wasn't Pandora mode.

[Galdelico]

Man, I love love LOVE it.
Still a tragic rookie, but I played Skullgirls a couple of hours offline and online and I'm genuinely amazed by the amount of work and attention to detail you Reverge guys put into this game. I'm trying to be decent with Cerebella and Valentine, especially the first one is such an awesome character.
Oh, and yeah: Alex, you're a fucking genius.


I'm picky as hell here but there's one little thing I don't like and it's the 'Unlock the Full Game' line which still remains visible - it's just darkened out - on mode select screen, even if you actually have bought the full game.
I know it's a stupid thing, but as far as I remember all XBLA games remove that line once you buy them.

Oh god this is fucking greattttt

I've been playing Filia/Valentine most of the night and feeling that combo quite well, and thought I'd give Ms. Fortune a try in training mode after. I thought she was great and had lots of potential, but it was training mode and I couldn't really tell for sure, so I brought her out in a Filia/Ms.Fortune team online and oh my god she is fucking brutal with those head mixups.

My friend was getting so, so pissed off with the OMNOMNOMNOM 'throw' on QCB+HP into a B&B ground combo into launcher. The only danger was when the body was too far away and the head really close next to his Cerebella and he was able to just HP over and over again before I could get in to stop it.

Ravidrath, could you stick one change on the patch list, please? If one player chooses "Play Again" and another player chooses "Change Character", the player who chose "Play Again" can't back out to reset their team size (and may not be able to reselect their character either), and there was a situation where my friend really wanted to even though he'd chosen "Play Again" by mistake.
Keeping their previous selection is fine, but having the option to back out to choose again anyway in that situation, just in case, would be really, really appreciated.

I like the references to other games, like peacocks falling oil drum leaving behind a roast chicken, or the announcer saying "it's super effective!" if you win, lol.

damn cerebella hits hard... just came up with a meterless 7k damage combo.

j.hk, c.lp, c.mp. hp xx tumbling run -> mk (wall bounce), c.hp (launch), j.mp, j.hk (hard knockdown), c.lk (otg), c.mk (relaunch), j.lp xx slaps, lp, lp, mp, hp, cerecopter.

Hmm, I thought it already worked the way you described? You should be able to back out of selections by hitting Select.

And is this online or local?
