Just thought you should know that they got a dude in the wings they hope to make someday thats based on your main man.

So you gonna be playing Parasoul or Peacock any?

Someone should make a PSN chat channel for us, adding people and msg them using PSN is a really really bad idea.

Every time I make a psn chat people message me for an invite instead of giving me a friend invite themselves so I can even invite them in the first place. ANNOYING

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?

It was online. He definitely wasn't able to hit Back/Select, I was voicechatting with him at the time. I was on the team number selection, he had solo Parasoul auto-selected for him (I think) because he hit Play Again, and wanted to back out all the way to the team number selection, but it wouldn't budge. Perhaps it's a bug?

We'll try it again tomorrow when we play again, getting a bit late now. If it's a bug then it isn't a major one, at least.

Just tried the 360 version, and the load times are ridiculous.

Guess i'll save my allards until it's fixed, if it's ever happening. Also did you run the game through babelfish or google translate for the localization ? Because it's really bad, and whoever worked on that did a terrible job.

The game looks interesting but I can't see myself really putting the hours in to learn in-depth stuff, I don't really feel like shifting my focus from KOF, especially as this being so different it could bite me in the ass in the long run. I kinda like Parasoul though, so I'll try to figure out some basic setups.

Does this game have a character with rekkas/follow-ups?

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.



Why do people always have to rage and swear in fighting games :/

guy get's grabbed for ko.

"fuck youuuuu!"

I think the fighting game genre just tends to attract really angry and aggressive people.

It's not just that though. Losing in a fighting game is different than say, Halo. It's more personal. If you lose a match, it's a personal failure. You fucked up or just weren't good enough. YOU weren't good enough. It's a lot harder to swallow those L's, especially if you're the kinda gamer/person who doesn't stop and think about what you maybe doing wrong.

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.
Click to expand...

Haha, honestly that statement was made more out of my own saltiness rather than any objective criticism - I really couldn't tell you whether I think the final boss is balanced or not.
To me, though, I was getting incredibly frustrated since it seems, like so many other fighting game bosses (I'm looking at you, SNK and Arcana Heart 3), to just fly in the face of everything implicitly learned throughout the game. Playing as Filia and again as Cerebella, I never really felt like my deaths were my fault except when I didn't move out of the way of her "I'm changing forms" explosion. In particular, the skeletons that grab you out of the ground are stick-throw worthy annoyances
. Otherwise I didn't really have a problem with the single-player AI - I can breeze through the story and arcade relatively fine.

Online though, I'm getting whooped. If there are any Skullgirls community lists for GAF could someone point me in the right direction? Or just add my PSN, PchuuPchuu.

I thought so too. The Italian translation is simply a joke(typos, bad conjunctives...) but fuck that, the game rocks.

I only have one thing to say about the final boss...KEEP IT! Hell make her worse. This is day 1 man and in a game with only 8 characters we need to keep a challenge. What are we gonna do in single player on month 6 without a challenge at the end? If I can take her as slop as i am without Peacock then she can't be that terrible. I'm on normal for now, but I'm about to turn it up to hard now that I got the gist of her.

Make it rain Reverge! Keep that boss a legend.

I think the final boss is fine, I died about 5 or 6 times with Filia, then I figured her out and when I got to her with Cerebella I beat her on the first try.

She forces you to block, pay attention and pick your spots, thats a good boss fight, very unlike the SNK bosses.

Exactly. Its a boss that makes certain you were paying attention. She's not friggin' Magaki or anything. She's not flood filling the screen with indistructible large missiles or anything and a lot of the stuff she does is punishable. She makes certain you learned how to read things and she ramps up the challenge by being a character whose moves have a narrower window of opportunity to punish. Give it a few days and folks won't even bat an eye at the character. Even more interesting will be that they don't even realize WHY they got better at dealing with stuff in normal matches after trying to get good at the end boss fight.

Pour it on Reverge! Make us sweat. In fact month six sneak in armor on her junk :D
Skullgirl was written as the BoogeyMan and shalt stay that way otherwise it devalues her in the story for being a letdown.

So how will this game handle DLC characters anyways? What's their solution, or have they not commented on that yet? Splintering the online base? Locking out characters that aren't compatible with the opponent? Mandatory update pack/DLC for all players?

Played the demo a bit, wanna play it some more before I finish writing my impressions.
