Maybe it's like old SF2 where each projectile speed got its own pitch? I don't mean to come off as someone who's just making GBS threads on the game - I consider Skullgirls, based on what I've seen (unless somebody wants to fly a copy out to bumfuck nowhere Georgia for me to test, which I'm positive will never happen) to be a good game that is personally Not For Me. I feel the same way about the KoF series, I played KoF96-98 years ago on an old NeoGeo cabinet in my college's bowling alley/arcade and just preferred to play the MSHvSF and MvC1/2 cabinets that were available. KoFXIII seems like a well-made game, I just don't enjoy that series and I haven't spent the $40 or whatever on a copy because of it. I hope Skullgirls does well and gains a large following so it becomes a featured game at EVO 2013.

Marvel 2's tiers took a good 3 years to become what they ended up as and people still played with low tiers all the time in casuals and low tier tournaments so it's kind of a spurious thing to say. That said it is true that top tier MvC2 was still a good game.

What I heard is that one of the early DLC dudes is going to be a wrestler called Beowulf with a steel chair called The Hurting. For the price, I heard some where below $20. That's not bad, especially if they can push it to 10 or 15

There's no reason to believe it would be anything like MvC2 balance to begin with. There's a world of difference between being low-tier and being MvC2 Ryu.

Does Parasoul's "take the shot" super work pretty much like Hawkeye's gimlet in MvC3? Although it doesn't look like she can use it in the air which is kind of a bummer. And can Ms. Fortune's head take damage if it's still on the floor when she tags out?

I'm pretty sure that super is instant after the flash and causes crumple on hit but can be punished on block. Also, to my knowledge Ms Fortune's head is only interactable if she's on screen, either on point or as an assist.

I think people just assume the worst when they hear DLC is planned before the game is released, especially when a game like Skullgirls doesn't appear to offer a whole lot from the get-go. I do agree that fretting over it right now is a bit silly, especially when we don't know how its even going to be priced. Though I'm fairly confident it's not going to stoop to MvC3 levels where they're asking for $5 each character.

Is there any idea when or if this is going to get a PC release? I heard it might, but in a "Anything's possible  " sense rather than an actual planned sort of way.I'd really like to play a character in a PC fighting game that isn't Ken.

Are you allowed to do mandatory installs on the 360? Because with how the game streams data off the hard disk during the match there's no way you could run it off a disc.

I'm not positive on it but I believe everything gets loaded into memory before the match anyway. The only poo poo you would have stream during a match is the music. VV ah yeah this is a team game so that too GabbiLB fucked around with this message at 18:55 on Jan 15, 2012 |

All of the character sprite data is streaming in as your are switching characters. There isn't nearly enough room to fit 6 characters into memory at once.

Is there actually a time when you want Ms. Fortune to keep her head on? Every video I've seen of her the player takes it off right away and keeps it there.

I remember someone (I think it was Mike Z) saying that she has fantastic s.HP and j.HP normals, so it's a trade-off. Still, losing two good attacks in exchange for a slightly less powerful Zappa Dog is a good deal.

It also changes Furrserker Purrage finish from a sliding knockdown to a juggle-ish hit. Also for defense purposes you take more if you and the head are hit. If you don't capitalize on having a "shadow", you will bite it big time.

Every video I've seen of her the player takes it off right away and keeps it there. as stated earlier HP controls the head so you lose all her normals with HP in them and it's really hard to understate how amazing her j. hp is. I didn't play a lot with fortune but i really rarely took her head off she's a really fine character even if you keep the head on all the time (though obviously better if you have the head off and know how to use it)
