I've got good news for you: There's a hitstun timer in all the ingame training modes. As in, you hit the opponent, and a bar appears under them that shrinks and changes color as the opponent recovers.

This is awesome for learning the timing of combos. SSF4 had a really terrible version of this on the dummy health bar that was impossible to see, more so because if you had only one frame to do a link there was so little hitstun the bar flew to the other side of the screen and you couldn't time poo poo with it.

Here is a dope track from FG of the year 2012, Skullgirls.

Its the same music that plays in Peacock's reveal trailer but I think the song itself is a stage BGM.

To answer the question in the second post, my favorite Skullgirls is Ms. Fortune. Why? Two reasons.

-Catgirls are neat.
-PUNS I loving LOVE PUNS SO MANY PUNS OH MY GODDD

MS fortune has also become my favorite, I never even liked the cat girl type characters much, but ms Fortune is just, hell I dont know, awesome, she looks fun to play, she has a great voice, her puns are the best, and I love the whole dismemberment feature to her gameplay.

Ms Fortune uses the dismemberment feature better than NeverDead did and she's just one character!

I really don't "get" why people like color edit mode, especially in games that already have 6+ palette swaps. Most of what people who aren't actual artists or designers come up with is going to look worse than the official palettes, if not outright ridiculous (full flesh tone, full black, etc). There are exceptions, but that's true of any mod tool of any kind in any game; 1% of people will always do something cool with them.

I see very little incentive for designers to include it unless it's just throwing their own existing color tools in the game and costs them basically nothing. It makes their game look shittier and nobody is going to make their decision to pay/play based on whether or not a game has color edit.

People wanna make their characters naked man don't be hater.

I'm morbidly curious about this game, I might check it out. I don't think it'll take off in a massive way though, because, seriously, it's an all-girl fighter. I know that it'll have male DLC characters but that just smacks to me as the game having an identity crisis, like it's trying desperately to get back all the people who dismissed it as a game for animu nerds. "Oh no we have males too, we're not -that- type of game at all, come back, please love us!" In my opinion it needs to commit to the idea it was founded on.

How many characters does the game start with and how many are planned as DLC?

I was watching the IGN preview of Ms. Fortune from awhile back and realized that when she grabs you and puts you in the yarn ball for her back throw, the yarn is actually made of the muscle tissue of her legs, and her legs disappear during the animation and reattach when she's done. Its the little things that make this game great.

All my PC gaming buddies on Steam are really hype for this game to come out, especially because its going to have a real tutorial mode. If you game exclusively game on PC your options are pretty much just GGPO (which most of these guys don't use) and SSF4: AE 2012, which doesn't teach you poo poo in terms of basics/how to play, etc. Also there was a huge 3 year gap between SF4 and SSF4: AE on PC, and then another 5 month wait for the game to get to the current version AGAIN. There's a huge market for fighting games on PC. SSF4: AE: 2012 is my favorite version by far, and I even use it for training mode over the PS3 version now. I'm glad Skullgirls is coming to PC even if we have to wait longer for it.

A start of a Ms. Fortune bnb: s.LP, s.LK, s.MP, s.MK, s.HK, j. LP, j.MK (2 hits), j.HK, dash, c.LP (OTG)...

Toy Touch can OTG but you gotta be fast. Pretty sure you could do c.LP xx Cat Scratch (x3) xxx into Cat Scratch Fever! I dunno though, I'm tired and I'll test it more tomorrow.

They can OTG tech the j.HK before you can land the c.LP. That's why I started using the head dunk after j.MK instead, as it causes a weird bounce you can combo off of. See the combo I posted up above for what I mean.

Is that how it works with all spikes and OTGs in this game? You can tech out of the knockdown before you can OTG them after a spike?

Mike Z just probably wants to prevent really stupid huge jumping/airdash normals that randomly cross up half the time and lead to huge damage combos. So he basically doesn't want UMvC3 jumping normal hitboxes which is a very good thing.

I've been running Fortune (HK Fiber Upper) and Big Band (HP Brass Knuckle) for awhile now, but I'm switching to Fortune/Fukua (HK Drill)/Big Band (LP Beat Extend) because Brass sucks as a pressure assist, I want a DP assist, and its clear 3 character teams are the future. I plan on using Eliza in the second slot when she's out, I hope she will have a good pressure assist.

Also headless Fortune desperately needs an anti-air reversal assist now that headless Fiber is gone if you want to play headless in the Valentine/Fillia matchups.
