  • O.O imma gettin it because the art is different, why not?

  • Tryhard Faggots.

  • Fucking animation is too tryhard for me. Its like it WANTS to be an anime game, but just fails at it.

  • oyo this game has a future, it animationstyle is crsip and its fighting style is MvC2 epic

  • This looks absolutely gorgeous ! But I have only one question: will it be ever ported to the PC ?

  • so this game is for what and when is it out

  • why cant i find this on psn?

  • Hmmm... I played a game like this before I think it's called GUILTYGEAR??? I mean geez some of filias moves look EXACTLY like Eddie's and not to mention she fights like millia rage! Pffft, please....try to make more original characters next time instead of ripping of DAISUKES originals?!!! I've seen fan made characters that look like over nine thousand times better than this! (And this this game is going to get canned anyway when the new guilty gear/ blazblue comes out soon! :-p )

  • @KisakiWarugi Your an ass~!

  • summer 2011..? o0 LIES XD

  • when is this coming out?

  • @TheG107 Q1 2012

  • oh my god. Its touhou all over again :'D

  • In your typical fighting game we have zoners, rush downs, grabbles and charge characters. Peacock is a zoner, Filia is a rush down, Cerebella is a grabble, and Parasoul is a rush down. So where is the charge character? It out of Umbrella, Pain Wheel or Squigly.

  • @dre81000 Actually, Parasoul is a trap/poking type of character. Think Spiral/Stryder in MvC2. She also has charged moves. If you're expecting a dedicated charge charge character like Guile you may be mistaken.

  • @dre81000 not all f-games have charge characters (BlazBlue, for example), and some of them have a character with charge moves but are not the core of his gameplay (like Shuma Gorath on UMvC3 and Terry on KoF XIII).

  • WHAT IS SONG?

  • Lol they need to buff Filia and nerf Parasoul :3

  • Comment removed

  • I'm really excited for this new game. ^^ Rerminds me of darkstalkers and Touhou.

  • I wish this was coming toPC. I need more 2d fighters

  • @Smilephile I read from Reverge that they need to see how it does on consoles first but that they would like to do a PC version.

  • GENTLEMEN.

    MEET YOUR NEW TOUHOU.

  • As in.... fanbase, or as in hentai fanbase? Or both, lol.

  • @delagration yes comrade we will spread the new gospel over the intarwebz

  • Please let this have online spectator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @IcyKhold It uses GGPO for it's online code, so it's pretty much a given that it will have spectacular spectator mode :) Some of the makers of this game are fighting game tournament players, which also makes me think it's impossible for this game to not have one.

  • @Samoutuomas Thanks. I'm definitely buying this game and can't wait to play it.

  • @IcyKhold Yeah, and it's awesome that Michiru Yamane is doing some of the music (she made the music to many Castlevania-games, like Symphony Of The Night and Bloodlines). Just search for "Skullgirls Music Sampler - Anti-Skullgirl Labs" on Youtube for example, that tune is so catchy (it's from the Skullgirls' Peacock -trailer). All of them are, not even the ones made by her, which is grrrreat.

  • This game looks awesome. I like the art style, and it looks like lots of fun.

  • looks promising and fun

  • if u've seen the leaked sg character vid already i recomend checking the deviant art page of the alex ahad the creative director for the game (oh8) and check his sg gallery you'll find other characters like annie, a eyepatched sword wielding blue haired little girl with a rabbid (not to confussed with rabbids) bunny, Valentine a ninja nurse, venus a girl with the parasite ab-ddon coming from out from her side, and d.violet a teacher looking character

  • does anyone know how many characters?

  • @cina1994 they said they're shooting for about 8 and gonna be planning to add more characters for dlc later on

  • nudity?

  • Makes me think of Scott Pilgrim combined with Darkstalkers

    and Peacock is basically the love child of BB Hood and Hsien-Ko which makes her automatically the coolest character in the roster so far. :D

  • Reminds me of Vampire Savior and Darkstalkers.

  • I am buying this the day it comes out.

  • my type of game

  • Why is everyone hating on this game? i cant wait for it!

    Artwork-hand made and gorgeous( i mean really, a 2D game on a 3D engine? Genius!)

    Gameplay-fast-paced and addicting

    Design-vivid and creative(Peacocks my fav ;D)

    Concept- make an old-school style fighter with factors from several amazing games, add complex balancing(anti-loop/infinite system, anti-unblackable system, ect.), and make it a blast for newcomers and pros alike

    its gonna be big. trust me.

  • @TalezofMetal

    I feel the same way. cant wait for it, tried it out at evo 2011, it was pretty cool although I dont know the layout of the controls. but it will be cool in the final version.

  • MVC3? I traded that piece of shit in a long time ago.

  • If Kratos was in MK9 as a exclusive character for PS3. Thumbs up if Alien Hominid should be in this game for next year as a exclusive char.

  • This. Game. Looks. AWESOME! Oh, and those of you who say this game is girly or makes you perverted, well.....fuck you. It doesn't matter if this game has all girls! That's the exact same response that I hear from people about Arcana Heart 3, yet it is a very fun game! So yeah, I plan on getting this game! Those who deny will be missing out on one hell of a fun game!

  • this is a game I wouldn't mind playing, is this game an exclusive?

  • this is awesome :D

  • I just love this art style!

  • 0:22 tentacle rape!

  • is this disk or dlc?

  • Honestly? This is probably the coolest looking fighting game I've seen in a while. Awesome, unique art style. Comic book style art, looking fucking awesome.

  • 3 players fighting on the same map? comic book/cartoon like art style? oh yea thats soooo ripping off MvC3*obvious sarcasm is obvious*

  • This looks like a game that I'm probably gonna try out, it looks pretty fun.

  • At E3, when this was announced and there was someone talking about it, I bet the IGN interviewer had no idea what Doujin meant.

  • I like the art style, its like Scott Pilgrim mixed with Darkstalkers

  • as an anime artist and also as very impresionable ass mothafocka i say it looks fukken awesome really inspiring nothing better than a figthing game whit some awesome graphic style

  • 0:22 - 0:23 Hatsune Miku???

  • wait... is that the vocaloid chick; "hatsune miku" on the floor at 0:22?

  • @toxicolm it's just an alternate skin for one of the characters, I imagine that particular skin is meant to reference her though.

  • @Highstar25 yea, i guess so... but can you picture her in a fighting game, just beating up the other fighters with a giant leek? i imagine one of her specialtys would be len & rin coming thru the screen with their bulldoser. that'll be SHHWWWEEEETTTTT!

  • @toxicolm I think it might be a skin.

  • @toxicolm just a alternative clothes...

  • I will play this game when it comes out. looks good.

  • Holy baloney, some of the girls there are FAT!

  • @SilentStormShadow If this isn't some form of irony, you where clearly watching the wrong video.

  • @CoSp001 Sorry to offend you, trying to defend some cheap cartoon characters... I watched the video again, and their THIGHS look fat.

  • So more hair fighters? I think Bayonetta started a new trend.

    (Game looks cool by the way :P)

  • @GrimylX

    There were hair fighters before Bayonetta. Ever hear of Guilty Gear? The character Millia Rage fought with her hair.

  • @TehREALShadowMan Never knew, I wanted to try Guilty Gear for a while but just forgot about it over time. My bad :P

  • Looks like they're trying to return to the old 2D games. YES! I loved the ultimate ninja games!

  • looks shit as fuck.

  • @TheDarklord0211 Amen. Fuck this game.

  • This game really needs more publicity!

  • Hairtal Kombat?

    (Mortal)

  • Thunbs up if you had to go back in the comments to find who aussiedog95 was

  • *looks at the trailer*

    This game looks like ass...

    *checks out the gameplay vids*

    F**king awesome game!

  • scott pilgrim girl version or what?, well looks good too

  • ok, all the videos about combos.

    but what about how do you break the combos.

  • looks unique... interesting

  • @girligirl2341 CALM DOWN! It's a GAME! No one cares! Ok? A game is game ether way! OK?!

  • This looks strangely like Sucker Punch. It gives that vibe at the end...

  • @Denariax

    Technically, Skullgirls came before Sucker Punch, Ahad was working on the art since around 2004, 2006 was when he started actual work on the skullgirls cast and finally 2011 was when Skullgirls is reaching the final stage. 10 Whole years of game development. and making connections to get the thing done (My opinion on the hardest was getting two somewhat well known VAs to voice the game)

  • @asaqe3

    Oh, I wasn't making fun of it. I just have that vibe... an AWESOME vibe.

  • @Denariax

    Of course not, I can see potential within it. Now that's Indie Game development, 10 years of hard work and connections hopefully paying off for a good wholesome doujin fighter. At least we can mention something other than Mortal Kombat as a fun fighting game. A far cry from the 90's of Mortal Kombat usurpers like Bloodstorm and Thrill Kill.

  • ......Or you could just get Blazblue :S

  • @Milesaru Why not get both? Mike Z plans too, seeing as how he was an integral part of this games production!

  • It's finally getting released~~

  • @silverkitsune95

    Cant wait to give this game a try, looks not too bad. I do like fast paced fighting games like MVC, tekken, and Blazblue(which im not too crazy about, not my cup of tea.).

  • Points for creativity but this looks tremendously unpolished.

  • if you disliked cause of the boobs, i must say this the whole thing was drawn by a girl

  • @R3DST4R1

    It's not. The lead-artist is Alex Ahad, male. The animator is a woman.

  • i like the art style and animation but i cant see my self playing this sorta game looks wierd

  • I just really think this game is getting a lot of hate, people are saying this is like a north american arcana heart with mvc gameplay, but if they would just see some gameplay like on here or on giant bomb or read the article on ign or gametrailers you'll learn that this game is really something different and brings a lot of new gameplay mechanics and an ecelent fighting engine that solves a lot of the problems in other fighting games while still being fun.

  • @mojoman10k

    Actually, saying it is Arcana Heart is scratching it. More like Vanguard Princess since it has more fanservice.

  • @mojoman10k couldent have said it better myself

  • Being such a big fan of cartoony art styles, fighting games, and most importantly harem, I'm surprised I haven't heard of this game sooner.

  • @DeadSnipe37

    Well, ain't you just an ignoramus? What's wrong, anime fan steal your boyfriend?

  • @DeadSnipe37 Anyone who can't tell the difference between great art styles and anime needs to die.

  • @silverkitsune95

    you sound like a super mad fat anime nerd

    watch some real cartoons like pokémon boy.

  • @DeadSnipe37 You sound like a sad, fat internet troll. Go watch a different video like Lady Gaga's new single.

    And Pokemon's not a cartoon. It's originally a game on the Nintendo Gameboy. Get it right you, jerwad.

  • @silverkitsune95

    OhhHHH you gettin' so mad

  • @DeadSnipe37 Damn, I can't believe that troll attempt worked. Kudos, man. Wasn't expecting a laugh but I indeed lol'd heartily.

  • @Redwolf6056 u a afaget

  • @DeadSnipe37 Someone doesn't know how to take a compliment. Unless...shit am I getting trolled now, too?! Oh hell yes, lets do this.

    I'm not sure what an afaget is but it sounds like a delicious french pastry, so thank you.

    Now its your turn!

  • @silverkitsune95

    It can't be both?

  • @MrFoxInc Well, it can. They made the anime after Pokemon became well known.

  • @silverkitsune95

    No, I meant the "difference between great art styles and anime." Why can't something be both of that?

  • Looks good.

  • Oh god no anything but a unique art style!

    How dare a video game try and break away from the pack!

  • @SgtChilly

    anime is gay and you are gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yy

  • @DeadSnipe37

    You're just angry because I won't have sex with you.

  • @SgtChilly "Break away from the pack"? You do realize this is just masturbatory fantasy bullshit in the same vein as Arcana Heart, right? The only difference is now it's done in an even more irritating fauxnime art style designed to appeal to hipsters who associate with the gamer/otaku lifestyle in order to try and be ironically cool. You are stupid.

  • @PsychoJosh Ah yes. The only reason I like this is because it's just like a game I never played and I'm an uptight snob hipster who only likes things that he thinks are cool in an ironic sense.

    I guess I should do what you say and only play games you think are good instead of trying things out based on what I think is cool. While we're at it why don't you tell me what women I'm allowed to find attractive, who I have to vote for, and what I should think? Since you are so very smart.

  • @SgtChilly I don't know how you managed to pull that idiotic nonsense out of your ass from what I said. You are not the exception that disproves the rule. This game is marketed towards pretentious idiots who identify with otaku and gamer culture to be cool. Your attitude defies you, though; I can see from your reply that you are a hipster who hates being labelled as such. I never said you played Arcana Heart, I said that this is a game in the same vein as Arcana Heat. Lern2intelligence please.

  • @PsychoJosh You are either a troll or an idiot.

    I play games because they are fun. I take an interest in games because they look like fun. I don't play games based on some ass backwards logic of being popular with a minority and I don't dismiss a game for that reason either.

    I like what I like and I don't have to explain my taste in video games to you.

    You can dislike this game if you want but claiming only pretentious people will like it is also pretentious.

  • @SgtChilly We're getting away from what you originally said, which was that this game was an attempt to "break away from the norm". That's what I was addressing in my previous comments, that this game is NOT original at all, in fact it is highly derivative and rips off many elements from MVC3. I don't know how you managed to spin it in a completely different direction but then again I'm arguing with a fucking retard so I don't expect anything coming from your end to have any semblance of logic.

  • @PsychoJosh MvC 3? really?

    I don't it see it. To me it looked like a cartoonish version of Guilty Gear. Except not as dark or insane. Also lacking in the foreground/background jumping. Not to mention it doesn't have any male characters.

    So like Guilty Gear but really different.

    As for what passes as 'original' in your mind I don't even want to imagine. Mostly because I suspect it to be hypocritical.

  • @PsychoJosh This rips off no elements from mvc3 whatsoever. All I see are original characters and fighting styles with classic tag-team fighting game mechanics. If you think that mvc is the only fighting game with combos or tag-teams or even just the first game with these mechanincs then you are quite mistaken

  • @194219692009 You're a fucking idiot. Hypercombo DHCs, level 3s and the magic series system are all lifted straight from Marvel. In fact the person heading development on this game, Mike Z, is a prominent MVC2 player so this game is unquestionably going to just be a modified MVC2. You don't have any clue what you're talking about so I'd stop talking out of your ass while you're ahead.

  • @PsychoJosh First of all, there is no example of any sort of hypercombo level 3 hyper combo presented in said video. Second every fighting game has some form of combo system that works similarly and the one used in this game has been made from scratch . Third, if he is a prominent player then that just means that he's experienced the fighting genre firsthand, he knows what he's doing, and knows the ups and downs of fighting games.

  • @PsychoJosh sure some things may be similar or even the same (Oh no! The punch and kick buttons are the same.) Yes, some machanics may be similar but that does not mean it's going to be a flat out mod. there are some things that are just mainstream or in the process of being so. Besides, just because he plays it does not mean it would be a mod. Not every game developer who has been a prominent player of Super Mario Bros made a mod for a living.

  • @194219692009 I don't give enough of a shit to continue this conversation. This game looks like crap, all-girl fighters are lame and I have no sympathy for the unscrupulous author who made this masturbatory fauxnime pile of shit. Fuck this game, fuck the people who made it, fuck the people who play it and may it fail miserably. I'll be so glad when it does.

  • @PsychoJosh With that kind of logic it would mean that every prominent user of the magnavox made another console that ripped it off and another ripped that off until it reaches the consoles of today. That is not the case. Furthermore you are using the ad hominem approach to arguments, trying to debunk that of sgtchilly's and anyone else who disagrees with you with a swift "you are an idiot" or "you deny being a ___ which means you are a ___" to cover your own weak points in the debate

  • @194219692009 Just so you know, psychoJosh is a troll, he will just keep complaining about everything, desire the death to anyone but Randy Savage (who ironically is dead), and all for fun, he does this as well on eventhubs, and very likely, on every fighting game forum he goes into. Dont feed him, trust me, might be hard, but is for the best, he wont stop even when he knows he is obviously wrong.

  • @ajch22 I know but I was tired of seeing all these trolls and couldn't stop the urge to do so.

  • @PsychoJosh

    dude, if you dont like them, dont play them, simple.

  • @SgtChilly >implying Scott Pilgrim/ Ameranime is a unique art-style.

  • @KidMangaX

    I love to see another fighting game with the same cartoonish art style! maybe a scott pilgrim fighting game?

  • well, I dont know... I dont care about graphics much, but this is too weird >.<

  • The last thing im gonna think is Scott Pilgrim when it comes to this..

  • looks like shit sugar coated with sex

  • This is hillarious. The game isn't even out yet, and people are already hanging this game?

    I'm personally looking forward to this, because I've been following this game since last year, and I know this game shows a lot of promise.

  • @rebirthangel

    God dammit, I was hoping that even niche games like this would be safe from Sonic Syndrome. I guess that'll teach me to know better than to hope. :(

  • this is deserve to be posted at failblog

  • Mike Z FTW

  • I'm honestly excited for this game, but this trailer just feels... idk

    Not hype enough. I wish the music was more exciting, and the gameplay clips chosen could have been better.

    God, especially that clip where you've basically got a four character bodypile in the middle of the screen. It doesn't read well. People want to see big combos.

    The hit sound effects could be better, too.

    They've got a while before release, so hopefully this will be fixed.

  • MikeZ really did it, GS to him.

  • Sweet combo chaos = Button mashing

  • mike z's game is coming out!

  • maybe I'll try it

  • ok..... what platforms is this crap on?

  • @blackhound90 why do you care if you think it's crap?

  • @covenant20 fuck off bro, i ask what i want

  • @blackhound90 such a rebel. ain't nuthin hold you down . right, bro?

  • scott pilgrim + suckerpunch?

  • whoo!! fake cleavage and tentacles

  • cool gameplay

  • Difference between this and Scott Pilgrim and this is Scott Pilgrim is actually good (Graphic novels, movie and game).

  • ....

    How long do I have to wait for this encore? You know, I have things to do...

  • Damn, I didn't think IGN was paying attention!

  • combines 2 of my favourite things indie games and fighting games

  • This looks pretty neat. I'll drag myself away from MvC3 and give this a try. I like the animation style.

  • I really like the art style

  • Cristina vee ftw

  • 0:33

  • GIRL POWER LOL

  • the art style is exact same as scott pilgrim

  • Dat Mike Z.

  • Fap fap fap fap

  • very bad

  • Reminds me of a dream I had once, except Domo was in it.

  • Yay MikeZ

  • Finally i've been waiting for a trailer, been psyched since i read about it on kotaku!

  • i hate when americans try to copy manga style

  • @burntyper

    Why ? Avatar the last airbender was #1 in most appreciated anime back in 2008. But I have to admit that this one on the video suck

  • @MsClasher man, if you honestly think avatar (live action movie or cartoon) was cool, well... sorry

  • @burntyper

    I don't care much ?

  • @MsClasher learn proper english moron

  • @burntyper

    this is youtube....and I fucking don't care lol ! ( will just ignore the next comment )

  • @burntyper manga means comics, what the fuck are you saying
