Really looking forward to the game. I just hope the team balance feature pans out because I am mostly looking forward to playing either a duo team, or a solo character. I don't have much interest in a team of 3.

Oh please, it's at least as valid as story discussion which I'm sure you'll begrudgingly tolerate.

I liked the part where the dude who quoted you is hiding behind a feigned air of feminism when in reality he clearly is just terrified of people thinking he's a weirdo, and also has an avatar from a comic where the protagonist engaged in "justified rape."

I haven't seen this asked before or I missed it in which case I'm sorry for repeating:

Will there be MvC2-like anti-air assists? I miss my Cyclops and Commando assists. Was thinking of a team of Parasoul/AAA, which early on sounded like it was Cerebella with Cere-Copter but then it got nerfed or something

It was mentioned one of the times that this game was demoed at Wednesday Night Fights that you can build meter by whiffing attacks when you have below one meter, but not after that, and not while moving backwards. Did they ever explain the reason behind that decision? Does meter on whiff make some play styles too strong or something?

Mr. Trampoline posted:

This match is the classic example of why you shouldn't build meter on whiffing normals. Also see Storm/Cyclops super-jump whiffing in MvC2.

Of course it's not official.

edit: well now that I've sniped I'll ask crofts again. Where's Squigly?!

I hated her until I saw the picture of her in Ouroborus Stance and now I'm sad she's gone, but not as sad as Umbrella because she's still the best.

Fullscreen, kinda slow startup, hits instantly, ideal for trades (because it continues even if you get hit out of it), ground only, DHC into it makes it amazing. It otherwise sacrifices the chip of Hail Storm for crumple stun.

I'm not going to embed this because it's 2 hours long.

WATCH THIS.

Also, GOD drat that loading screen.

If they want to recycle the art, they should make alternate versions of every character like the Slash/Bust system from Samurai Shodown. For example, the alternate version of Ms. Fortune can't detach her head but has a teleport or something else to compensate for it.

And Double looks really lame. I hope they redraw her animation to show more nun and less generic organic blobs.

In the meantime, somebody mod Marvel 3 to replace hypegirl with sound clips from him.

Holy moley! Look what I found. A Siliconera article on Skullgirls....from six years ago!

What a long strange trip it's been.

That would be prior to 1997 which would be pretty crazy. What's the evidence?

Broken Loose posted:

Fights will basically resemble this but with less floating and mashing to build meter:

This game has gotten my girlfriend (who otherwise grudgingly tolerates my fighting game habits at best) interested in playing with me.

I haven't gotten my hands on the game yet, but damage or no damage I just don't see any way it'll be viable in the long run.

Opinions on Parasouls assists?

Tiers are pointless in this game due to custom assists.

Nobody's going to lose any tears over this, but I'm gonna have to drop out until I get a new hard drive.

Me and Zerp discovered a scribble cat.

We weren't sure what caused it. We must know. We were playing Valentine vs Cerebella, we were mashing up close, then a poorly drawn cat came out and ran off the stage.

Evil Canadian posted:

Friend informs me apparently Solo Cerebella destroys the double assist if she blocks it, just go for spd or super and rip off a ridiculous chunk of life. Haven't gotten to try that yet myself, but seems sound enough.

Now to figure out how Parasoul deals with it.

combo stuff

Is solo Peacock a good place to start for somebody who's never played a Marvel-like fighter before? And is there any repository for all these combos people have been coming up with?

Rootbeer Baron posted:

Man this is like my first fighting game and I'm really enjoying Peacock/Double/Valentine, and now I find out my team is for baby? Can I still use it if I really like playing as Double or will I forever be cursed as the week one rear end in a top hat?

Count Bleck posted:

I'm really hoping SRK hurries up and gives the characters their own subforums soon because it's really bugging me how I have to sift through a jumbled mess of a character thread to find combos to try.

On the subject has anybody found any good Peacock BnBs because the only combos on SRK just seem to be the ten thousand year flashy combos and I am a big babby boy when it comes to marvel sized poo poo.

Niddhogg posted:

The stuffy day 1 bnb with Peacock I've been doing is:

[opening hit] s.lp s.mp s.mk jump j.lp j.lk [air dash cancel, pause to let peacock get closer to her victim] j.lp j.lk [peacock and the victim land] s.lp s.mp s.hp qcf hp x 3 qcf PP

If you want to impress your friends, instead of ending combos with gunshots into super you can link two supers together by cancelling the last normal into item drop H, and cancel that into super. If you let it go right when the first super ends the item will stun them long enough for you to perform another.

Why did they put that stupid double assist in this game seriously, I'm feeling like painwheel is the only character that can really deal with that assist in a viable way at all because she can just fly over it (which is how dacid won that tourny yesterday)

If you call her c.mp assist it'll actually beat double out in the 2 frames she's hitable but that means you need to be in that rear end literally all the time, if you're even slightly out of range the invincibility kicks in and instead you lose.

The difference in a fighting game is that you can play it without having learned it, and subsequently you can lose at it without learning it. You can't lose a game of chess simply because your opponent knows how the rooks move and you don't. It doesn't work like that. There are many, many, many mechanics to learn in Skullgirls, such that a person who knows them is going to have an advantage over a person who doesn't. This isn't "skill" or "mastery," however, but an advantage of information, which is a different thing.
