Rootbeer Baron posted: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. Personally I think its loving stupid to not like a game PURELY on the art style alone. I dont like the style of Street fighter IV, but I still think that overall its a solid game. As for the huge "assets", who cares? does Filia having a large chest or the bunch of panty shots in her animations bug me? eh, only enough for me to think that its a tad too much, but then its back to the game. Anyways, thanks Lyre for that trailer, I was really iffy about double but now Im convinced to try her out. also love the two characters that show up during her hyper. Possible Teacher as DLC? I also see umbrella and there some other that i dont recognize  Squigly  The Tutorial Teacher  Umbrella, you can kinda see her gun and some of herself  no idea who this is, all it is is some spring thing, so who knows

animaCartographer posted:I dont know why this (character designs in skullgirls) is a big deal, seriously. EVERY other genre in games doesnt get NEARLY the amount of crap about this as fighters do. I think it's happening here because Skullgirls is a new thing so it gets more buzz, everybody who had an opinion on Dead or Alive already exhausted their thoughts on it back in like 2003. The roster being 100% female probably doesn't help. I'm in the "it's overboard and kind of creepy" camp, but game looks fun so I don't care.

I like the style, but I could go for less of the sexual overtones, I just really enjoy the colors and exaggerations and such.

Well theres the Touhou fighters Immaterial and Missing Power and it's sequels Scarlet Weather Rhapsody and Hisoutensoku. As far as I'm aware the entire series has no sexual overtones due to the creator being a mean drunk.

Actually that shot is Black Dhalia, another character in the SG universe. Umbrella also shows up in a different spot as Rootbeer Baron showed.

When a person who starts a derail gets banned for threadshitting, don't run with it. Especially when the derail is the reason the poster got banned for threadshitting.

They do actually. It's just most other games have stuff like the storyline and world-building or whatever to distract you (so some girl wearing a square inch of clothing is less important if the storyline itself is quite fair and egilitarian) but in fighters literally all you are seeing is the character themselves and their moveset. quote:Personally I think its loving stupid to not like a game PURELY on the art style alone.

Liar Lyre posted:I think it's a Peacock reference. I think her get up animation uses a spring. Or maybe it's the super jump or tag animation. I can't remember, but I know it's there somewhere. It's definitely Peacock. It's the animation from her tech roll or quick get up.

The way I interpret it is that they wanted the score to be the release date, but made the graphic when we thought it would be the 4th. It should read 04102012. But hey, you could be right too.

Alright so I'm going to move the tourney up an hour. I know this screws over a couple of west coast folks but I gotta do it so I don't overlap goonbats. Skullgirls XBL day1 tourney now at 8pm EST http://challonge.com/tournaments/signup/27rtrijfue

You people. It doesn't matter what the other girls look like, for you should be playing only one:     I don't know much about the game's canon, so it was cool finding out the bombs actually have names: Lenny and George.

Sign up anyway because even if you lose you will still come away with new people to play who will probably not mind helping you get better.

It's day 1 so barely anyone is going to have any time with the game prior to the tourney. I'm sure there are going to be some people that can get by on pure fundamentals but I wouldn't worry about it.
