Patience? ...that's all I've got. The handful peacocks I've fought followed a repetitious pattern. Kind of feels like playing mario or some random platformer at times. PW v. Peacock isn't a very fun match-up.

Of course I should've assumed you weren't talking to me with the way you worded your post. How stupid of me.

On blast about what? There hasn't really been any post here crying about her. Can't really be on blast when the blasting makes no sense. Probably referring to the sf x tk thread if anything. People bitch about hugo all day, I don't necessarily bitch about gief in it but I try to point out that he is a really really good character. Hugo sucks imo.

Filia: Psylocke...er...HP DP assist
Valentine: M.Poison Load
Peacock: Banjo Session / Airplane / walking bomb
...is a pretty fun team. Get some meter with Filia, Load Needle with Valentine, DHC to Valentine, etc. I just need to come up with combos. Filia's DP assist is a great Anti-Air. Also good for MvC2 type of stuff. Creating shit is so much fun in this game.

Man, Valentine's green poison is killer. Makes it super easy not not drop combos.

Pretty much. Its a test of patience where you inch in and punish for all your worth.
He's not. Thats the actual answer to this. Its pretty much neutral jump and double jumps where you try to block anything you can or block dash block dash repeat until they are in range to be punished.
Yup. Patience. I've been Peacocking it up in between homework and its all about reading someone's pattern. What you need to worry about is if they remember that they can teleport, grab, or dash past jump dashers. If they remember those options even catching up to a peacock is a guessing game. It was pretty fun dashing past a jump dash attempt to get in and summoning the homing thing while I was getting out of there. If it helps though I'm trying to find other stuff than double for an assist though. Double is just really good with Peacock though.

For everyone wondering about this "OP" Double assist +Peacock combo I will post this video AGAIN.
The Peacock/Double zoning game everyone is abusing
Even if it gets done to death I'm not dropping Peacock since she's the coolest character design I've seen in a long while theme-wise and is a major reason I was hyped to play this cast. I've used this setup and it works just as good as it looks here, but I'm wanting to come up with something more my own. I'm liking Painwheel's finger explosion as an assist as it works a lot like Taskmaster vertical shot and I like how that works with Peacock's 4 shot and ground bombs zoning technique. If anyone's got an idea of a great way to use Valentine moves to assist Peacock though I'd like to know as I really like playing Valentine's moveset.
BTW its not OP. I've lost using this pretty easily as some people are hard to run from easily and can rush this down before it can get going sometimes. Also, folks that play patient, block, and read you will punish you all day. I ran into a Filia who was great at blocking, inching up, and then using hairspike to hit me and wreck my pattern. Also people can blockbuster punish this and corner you for trying to lame them.

I updated the online section with some more tags/IDs. Check it out now if you want new people to fight with.
Powerup was also amazing. Simply the best showing for the game yet. I didn't think that it would top Super NCI, but it did. The numbers were also good. Skullgirls probably should have been an EVO game.

I saw this before, but I couldn't find it when I searched yesterday. Most of this ought to be in training mode and tutorials. Being able to customize defensive reactions(ala IB and barrier block in BB) helped me a lot in BlazBlue. Having lots of combos in BB was also a gigantic help for me since it helped with improvisation. I think Mike had it right when he decided to wait for people to show off useful combos. Skullgirls will be an amazing game once they get to patch in stuff or make a sequel.
Frustrating? Vanilla MvC3 was truly the most salt inducing game ever. Skullgirls doesn't even compare.
Totally tangential, but this really made me laugh. :lol
The footage at Power Up and that perfectly done Lvl. 3 Valentine ending make me ache for this game so bad. I think I'll grab it within the week at this rate.

Its not just the assist, is that you also have to worry about the fact that Peacock drops like, 3 attacks at once (item falling from the sky, projectiles in mid range, etc) A lot of the times you get through blocking those, think you have an opening and bam, butt in the face.
Sorry, but Im not convinced that an awesome player like Q (who is ranked 80th, haha! I looked) saying that its "easy" to punish means much. Im an "average" player (as far as "doesnt compete in tournaments" types go) and Milk was just destroying my tier 1 character with his 3 man team using that setup. By the time Peacock was dead and had 2 kill 2 more charas, I barely had 10 percent health left.
Its like me telling you all that I don't get why you think drawing is hard.
The amount of skill required to punish it is a lot higher than the amount of skill to perform it. I dont think thats arguable.

Damn I dropped down to 80th? I was 30th before I went to bed LOL
No but but seriously just play more patient. You know how I punish it half the time? Im jumping already and I'll backdash into it

Just a spitball idea, but has any fighting game ever offered the ability to upload a combo you recorded directly to Youtube with annotations viewable? That or the ability to save a combo after you do one in training and upload its annotations and a ghost somewhere online to downline into like a "mission mode" for players to grind in? I'd be down for such a thing if the game itself had in-game search options to find combos afterwards via searches for character, damage or number of hits.
This is all totally secondary to the main stuff everyone else is mentioning like training mode options, lobbies, movelists, and so on and so forth, but I thought I'd mention it. Just something I've wondered about for awhile now.

You mean how every character can do crazy ass shit? Doesn't sound broken to me
How did i know you where going to be the first one to post a post like that to his post? I even bet my self $100, now i am $100 richer.

I respect this on all fronts and I play Peacock. However, if you corner her by blockbustering through all that she's in a world of trouble. Its not as difficult as you think to punish. You can do it by being a patient player with no meter, you can do it by using the right assists, you can do it by timing jumps properly. It takes patience, but its nowhere near as rough as folks are saying. If you can convert a throw to a combo I suggest once you get in going for that first to interrupt her stuff instead of maybe having her block your first real attack and then getting to pop the tracking overhead on you and then the assist to get away again.
Once you've lost with this setup a few times you realize that its nowhere near as broken as you'd like as the user of it who has to face a better player.
Also, I draw too and wanted to give you legit props on your fanart. I dig your style.
How so?
If you're talking about the Peacock/Double setup Parasoul/Double or Parasoul/Peacock have plenty of tools to stop that nonsense.
Edit: Never mind. Nothing legitimate.

Seriously, don't know what your getting at here. Could you be specific as to what is broken, because the whole cast has tools to deal with any kind of play style and none of them are really OP compared to the rest of the cast. Enlighten us.
It's a method of balancing. I don't particularly care for it myself, feels like this game is often more about running your own stuff then having to respect what your opponent can do to limit your options. It seems really hard to get opponents to respect anything in this game due to the amount of options.

Maybe it's because I'm coming off of UMvC3, but I think grabs are pretty fair in this game. Bella does have crazy grab ranges, but outside from that, I think they're okay.

She actually has different grabs, one for close, and one for far that wiffs if you are too close.

Trust, I know. My brother plays her and Ms.Fortune. It's my fault for letting her even get near me in the first place, considering my team. :/ smh...

Did you know there is this little spot between both where she cant really grab you at all?
When every character can kill you in 2 combos (some even one) that's stupid. I guess it's because I never play tag games or anime games though. Game would be fine as straight 1v1 and lower damage across the board.

Who ya playing? I'm maining Peacock and experimenting on a second based off of whoever's assists are the most fun. Though I do like playing as Valentine too.
Stop trying to crouch tech, learn the mechanic
Grabs are cheap = Every fighting game
I love the balance in this game, fuck tiers they make good games boring and predictable.

What assists?
I keep trying other cast wanting to get a nice space eating assist for Peacock that isn't Double and so far the best was the finger thing from Painwheel, but I'm not really wanting to play her. Valentine is awesome to play though so I might use her to just shield with instead of trying to find someone else to fill the screen with bullets. Besides her Vial Hazard type B (MP) increases hit stun!
*troooooooll face*
Good luck against Peacock zoning if I can successfully bait you into THAT assist.
