Am I the only one starting to see Skullgirls as the American Arcana Heart, I have this bad feeling it is going to be an amazing game but people will go ughh and shy away from it because of the fan service or drop it for some other bullshit reason in a month, and only a few people are going to remain playing it in the end.

There's not really anything in common between the two games other than all-girl casts so I guess you'll have to wait & see?

Do you think the character descriptions are as hilarious as we do?

And what made "Dudley on a rainy day" seem like a rad character design?

Like what?

SF, Darkstalkers, and MvC were the only Capcom FG franchises that had enough fan attention to even think about a remake.

I suppose CvSNK, but that seems even less likely now that one is firmly 3d and the other is 2d.

He means games not made by Capcom.

I feel like a really good idea would be to just ship a game with a lot of fun characters and you don't have to jump through any hoops to play them, you can just enjoy the whole game.

Tekken is a game I've always wanted to get into, but it's not a game you can get anywhere in without being able to recognise other characters' moves and knowing a lot of detail about if and how punishable things are. Like with Marvel, it just seems far too daunting right now.

All that stuff definitely helps in Tekken(and every other game), but you can get by just fine learning on the fly.

Oh poo poo, here we go. A bunch of ASW news dropped last night, so have at it.

-GGXXAC+R is finally dropping this month on PSN! It'll be a free patch, but 360 users are going to have to wait a while longer, it seems.

-The Xrd Loctest that's gonna run from August 9th to the 12th is apparently going to have seven characters playable, with movelists currently available for Sol, Ky, and Millia.

-There's also a general system mechanics page here, and it looks like most mechanics are returning. One button throws, (F)RCs, and what looks like a new clash mechanic thing that I don't know anything about because I can't read Japanese.

Goddamn this is gonna be a good month.

⑥ R.I.S.C. Level
This increases each time you block your opponent's attacks and decreases when you are hit. Once it reaches a certain level, you can counter any attack from your opponent.

I wonder if these counters will be baitable. I hope they will.
