I have a feeling that team compositions are going to be very loose in this game, simply because every character has approximately infinity-billion possible assists, so you'll almost definitely find something that covers the others' weaknesses.

Cerebella's spinny arms thing that looks like Orbital Grudge seems really popular as an assist though, I reckon it'll be a staple since it locks down for so long.

This is actually something I find extremely odd about her play style. She's a keep away character loaded with projectiles, but her strongest super is a command grab. Seems contradictory. Probably will be an interesting risk/reward thing though, what with having to put her where she will supposedly be at her weakest to pull it off.

It's not really a command grab, it's a move that you cancel off her normal throw. So it can still be teched and so on.

Also, what does Diamonds are Forever actually do? It's a level 3, right?

It looks like a seriously heavy-duty projectile to me. I might be wrong though because I only see it used at close range.

That blog post they mentioned yesterday is up:

Spoiler: no release date yet. Everyone seems to know it's Valentine's Day except them.

Oh my god the story mode looks legitimately fun. I hope Ms. Fortune's is as full of cat puns as that snippet implies.

e: do we know how story mode works? Is it one for each character like Soul Calibur 3 or a single unified one a la Mortal Kombat 9? The blog post seems to imply the latter.

And it requires a setup that's only safe after a knockdown (in which case Valentine misses out on oki) or from distance, and you can't really "vortex" people with it, you land a combo + orange soda, you get your mixup, if you get something from that you'll need to use another poison.

Her counter super also injects them with whatever poison she has loaded.

Double's gross (and therefore cool) as heck but I do agree that they could have done something different. I would have preferred it if they made her into a walking homage to all the coolest fighting game moves out there, like Seth had Urien's shoulder bash.

Catching two or more characters in a single combo. I don't know why it's called a happy birthday, it's a fg meme thing I guess.

So, reading up on this a bit, it turns out that Peacock is really loving creepy. For instance, did you know that she sees with the eyes that are on her arms? Those things on her face? Those aren't eyes.

Yeah in her winpose she turns one of her eyes into a mouth so she can blow smoke out of it. She's weird.

It might be a long shot, but is there any chance of Skullgirls having a colour edit mode, either on release or afterwards? I know it'll have plenty of pre-made palettes but seeing Strekken's abysmal version made me realise how much it'd own in this game.

I remember hearing the devs left it out so people wouldn't make nude/camouflage pallets.

And what's the count on alt colors? The most recent build I saw only had 9 per character.

I might be wrong but isn't there one for every combination of buttons?

e: so 15 different palettes?

vv That makes sense.

Zombies' Downfall posted:

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 like to feel unique and creating personal palettes is part of that. You could be the only Ms. Fortune who ever uses green akin and yellow scars, but thousands of other people will be using Palette #8.

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.

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. I dont like the style of Street fighter IV, but I still think that overall its a solid game.

Nobody who's been complaining about this kind of thing has said it's going to be a bad game.
