Is that a Zero Suit Samus color for Parasoul? :swoon: Also that music is awesome. I love Michiru Yamane.

Apparently it's more based on Olivier Armstrong:

So dumb that an indy group can have great sprites which allows ggpo later on and Capcom keeps churning the 3D models that prevent anything good.

It's pretty easy to say that and not think about the sheer volume of work doing sprites actually takes.

So if I'm not mistaken (from what I heard on the stream), apparently you can patent the MvC2 button layout, which means Capcom can deny anyone the ability to make a game with that button layout.

:wtc:

Real talk? Dude's been spouting off on some poo poo that I can't really believe.

Like saying Tekken Tag 2 boards would cost $30,000.

I can't say I'm going to give much stock on his whining about a 'Capcom patent' messing with Skullgirls. Especially considering Mike Z wanted it to be 3P/3K.

She does look like a really fun character to play. Something I don't think was answered in the video is if her head is interactable after you tag out. For example can I throw my head on the ground, tag, then kick her head into my opponent with my new character? And can the opponent still hit it and deal damage to Ms. Fortune?

It wasn't mentioned in the video, but it was mentioned elsewhere. It's not interactable at all when Fortune is tagged out, by yourself or the enemy. That might change if you use a head attack as an assist, though, but only when Fortune is out.

One thing to keep in mind is that the market is going to be pretty drat saturated with fighting games in 2012. You have UMVC3, SFxT, KOF XIII, SCV, and TTT2. Add in AE2012 and you have six competitive fighting games, and I doubt many people will spend the time and money to play all six. I'd say the community is big enough to generate serious hype for three, maybe four games, and two of those slots are taken up by AE and UMVC3. This is the absolute worst possible release window for Skullgirls and any other fighting games, by releasing in early 2012 they are setting themselves up for failure. I'd suggest that if they have to delay, they delay until the 2012 Christmas buying season, anything sooner and there won't be enough people buying it to really build up the player base needed for a big success.

You're kind of forgetting that Skullgirls isn't going to be a full priced title when it comes out. Since it's going to be a digital download there's a super good probability it'll just be 15 bucks. I think people will be more willing to buy it at that price and maybe a couple of the others. Plus I don't think delaying the game for THAT long would be as easy as just sitting on their butts and twiddling their thumbs by their own choice.

It was kinda funny to see how that carried over into the NGPC SvC, where you had Geese's 360 super throw, Rashomon, side-by-side with Zangief's Final Atomic Buster still using a 720.


Speaking of the NGPC, I managed to get my hands on one recently, and its directional joystick stub button bpractically had sex with my thumb from how awesome it felt - has no company released a joypad that uses that design?

Seriously though, it was only via stage. They created a Metroid stage and you'd occasionally see her ship and Samus her self beating the hell out of Ridley in the background.

I actually struck up a conversation with a guy named "Robyrt" who, apart from the Elam brothers themselves is probably the biggest font of information about that game, and after working through the various gameplay mechanics, jointly came to the conclusion that OMF is (probably accidentally) an impeccably designed fighting game in many respects. Turns out Robyrt is a bit of a fighting game nut in general so it was an interesting conversation.

We even looked into the whereabouts of the Elams themselves, but to no avail.

Yeeeeees.

One Must Fall 2097 was a loving fantastic game, especially when you put it in Rehit mode. What was fantastic about Rehit that it wasn't just a jumble of 'Yeah, so you can hit 'em again whenever you want whee'. They actually put rules for how it would work so it changed the feel of the game to something more frenetic but way more awesome.

Also the tournament modes were the poo poo. I played it way too much. :v:
