The game doesn't really look that bad, it's mostly just the being a blatant rip-off factor, and the weird pre-rendered 3D sprites. Some bad sound effects as well, but nothing real terrible.

Though the damage output and meter gain is completely hosed up from the looks of it, but that can easily just be beta related issues.

Again like I said Tencent is a good company, game will probably be pretty darn good. Tencent patches their games to death normally, so the meter/damage problems will go away, however expect it to have like monthly balance patches.

Hey guys, remember Skullgirls? I know, it's been a while.

Anyway, have a bunch of videos.
Here is this week's friday night fight, probably the best one yet in my opinion.

Here is Mike Z walking through Painwheel. She's such a sick character, I can't wait for everyone to get to play her. part 2 here

Finally, Here a video of creative director Alex Ahad and Mike talking more about Painwheel's backstory, and a bunch of talk about her artistic direction, if you're into that sort of thing.

:/ Patching their games to death isn't really a point in their favour. I mean, I think I know what you mean- they care about the product- but constant "balance patches" sounds like it's just going to result in nerfing whoever is flavour of the month.

P. random question but does anyone have that special kung-fu technique of wrapping up the chord for the TE-S to fit into it's little cubby hole? I always gently caress it up and end up having to smash it in and shove the lid closed. I'm terrible at wrapping up chords.

Nahh they tend to get screamed at more on the forums for not doing that more then they do it. I'm not a big fan of constant patching but knowing the way they do games that is probably the way it is going to be.

thanks! Skullgirls is great, I don't go to a lot of tournaments because i'm super garbage at most game but heading out for Skullgirls is a ton of fun (and it helps that scr was like a ten minute drive down the road).

edit: I guess valentine's supposed to be playable tommorow (i heard she wasn't "tournament ready" yet) so i'll check that out while i pick up my opulent skullgirls prize winnings of Ten American Dollars.

Cool things I noticed from the stream today:

- Whoever has the current life lead has *LEADER* on top of the life bar which makes sense when you have different characters numbers on each team
- A red/green traffic signal that shows when you can/can't call assists
- Game still owns

General netplay consensus is that it's pretty great. Feels about the same as mbcaster to me, which for reference was on the same kinda level as bb netplay i guess? Don't do matchmaking though unless you want to play at delay 15 with japanese people, the matchmaking doesnt check latency or anything at all. Use direct connection with a friend or come to irc.mizuumi.net (europeans to #meltyblood.eu, everyone else to #mbaa)
