iirc there's some hard evidence that proves Filia was designed before Milia Rage from Guilty Gear.

That would be prior to 1997 which would be pretty crazy. What's the evidence?

Here's an interview with Alex Ahad. We usually don't get a lot of interviews with Alex, so this is a real treat. Good read too.

edit: Man I really wish this had come to my attention this weekend. I could have told my friends that I was bringing Skullgirls to the next session for April Fools.

I highly doubt this, while the character designs are ancient, they aren't pre Guilty Gear ancient. IIRC they were made about 10 years ago.

If it doesn't predate it maybe he just said he didn't see Milia until he already thought of Filia? It wouldn't be too difficult since "Woman who can control her hair and fight with it" isn't that difficult to come up with. Or maybe he just got it from the Inhumans or Powerpuff Girls instead heh.

I mean, I don't really care or anything, but do you think characters Alex invented in High School are going to be beacons of creative integrity? It's almost certainly based off Millia, but it's not like Daisuke Ishiwatari cares (he even likes the game). So whatever.

Is the penis an ouroboros? It looks like it goes behind the panties and back into the tumor. Or is it coming out of the exposed lower brain at the base of the shaft, while the tumor turns into the giant mouth?

Never challenge an artist to put a panty shot in ANY picture.

Remember that website that let you choose an animation from 3S and just play it on loop, blow it up, slow it down, whatever, so you can look at how pretty everything is?

I want that feature here or on the website or something, because the sprites are just gorgeous.

Except for Double, who is gross as gently caress obviously. But gross in a way I want to look at closely.

So I completely forgot about the goonbats when I made the Skullgirls tourney. Would anyone object to me pushing it an hour earlier? I still wanna have be a day1 tourney but I don't want to overlap the other tourney too much(also it's vsav so I would like to play in that one).

Yo I think the reaction some people have to calling out the designs in this game is dumb and I think the designs themselves are really dumb but you can like something problematic without being sexist and even if they really loving enjoy pantyshots, there's a difference between that and literally sexually harassing a woman, in real life, until she drops out of a competition.

Hey I'm a woman, can I please ask your permission to like these character designs, because I do but apparently I need you to render your opinion first from atop your ivory tower. I won't leave the kitchen without your say-so either, promise.

Double's panties are pretty creepy though - still doesn't mean I'm not going to play the hell out of her and love it. Although I suspect I'm going to be kind of lousy with her since she's apparently super heavy and I've always been much better with quicker characters. I hope Valentine isn't too terrible...
