IPW Exclusive! Valentine Combo Exhibition

[ComYxCon4LiFe]

Man, gotta love those hand-drawn sprites and the background artwork. I love this style because it's true art: Pouring your blood, sweat, tears, and muscle to deliver astounding visuals is the only true talent of a master. I like CGI and all but hand-drawn artwork will ALWAYS have a very special place in my heart.

So gonna get this. Looks really great; especially in HD.

[Bangcat]

From the Crimson Carnival to the Circumcision Circus.

[jonoisgood]

I like that combos get descriptions like "Jocund" and "Saucy"

[XC11301991]

Argh the only combo I knew how to do was standard l.p,m.p,launcher, than m.p.air, h.p.air then dash forward for m.p.air again and didn't know what else to do after that.

[Amraphenson]

The number of jojo references in this game is ridiculous.

[DekaBlz]

The combo counter was outlandish in the earlier stages of the game, huh...

[OchaKai]

0:30 toki wo tomare

[iLoveOrangutans]

for her jumping kick she hits her knee with a hammer to make it kick

[TehLoco23]

Ninja nurse FTW XD

[9876710]

blue striped panties!

[WARgod0098]

@IHeddo wow...this is going to be one cool yet strange game

[JoshuaAushoj]

nice

keep this character

[superkeijikun]

@PsychoJosh Yet you set time aside to reply, so you do pay attention. Boy, you dimwitted haters are such an endless source of entertainment. :D

[a0classcriminal]

Scalpels and saws are par the course for a "medical" character, but on the IV stand smash I've just lost it. Using an actual cadaver (complete with a body bag) is pure creative genius, too - the designer surely doesn't lack in imagination.

This looks fun.

[hellhound69Xx]

36 E <3

[HinataChan30]

Surprised that final combo didn't call in the Infinite Prevention System.

[idlesenses1]

WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[stickmeister0]

This was really early in development and doesn't have half her moves. You should probably go watch the most recent Friday Night Fights.

[SunofDawg]

Ha ha look at them bounce

[Doodels1337]

zawarudo a little?

[WARgod0098]

what the hell is that thing in the background

[IHeddo]

@WARgod0098 shark

[herofromthedark]

A ninja nurse? Interesting... Don't think I've ever seen that before, but it's pretty damn funny!

[TheMysticCore]

Helloooo, nurse!

[Ducethedragon]

When does this game come out!!!!

[bionicghost]

ZA WARUDO

[zero3609]

1 word... cleavage

[elvampe13]

This video makes me want to masturbate furiously.

[MobianShoopIndustry]

Someone likes Jojo's Venture.

[GryffenPuff]

MAJOR SURGERY is gonna be a skullgirls meme, just you wait...

[ryarod]

@GryffenPuff I pray it does, I really do. This game could use the publicity, and deserves a helluva lot more respect and recognition.

Quite a few other lines from this game thus far ring to me as enjoyable, small-time memes waiting to happen, too.

[OppositeParadox]

@GryffenPuff It already is, it's called ZA WARUDO.

[Fishumz]

Ibuki+Dio+Komachi+Chipp playstyles, I See~

*Tear* She's erreething I could ever hope for in a character~

[Hakumencvs]

Lol, neither of the below know what they're talking about. GG.

[Ayala84]

So what if this game sucks balls? Everyone is entitled to spend their money how they please!

Have you ever seen that Fist of the North Star fighting game? I dare you to go to that video and say half of the things you've said here. Maybe some people don't care about some of the things that you do. Maybe some people just like the idea the game represents.

I dislike people like you who claim that everything must measure up to your standards. You're the reason why underground is not mainstream.

[Therobisntdrunk]

@Ayala84 *Cracks knuckles* Are you insulting that Fist of The North Star fighting game sir?

[Ayala84]

@Therobisntdrunk not at all. infact, i'm praising it. and saying that people who like it are not going to care what this guy says about it. just like how i like this one, and dont care what this guy says about it. they're both fun, i bet

[MrCAKESLAPify]

advertisement for hemorrhoids. lovely.

[hitjohnyup]

OTGs and 10-second-long juggles...the mark of lazy, me-too game design...

[GoldenHeartNeko]

@hitjohnyup What's wrong with OTGs? Considering you can only do one per character. Lol. OTG's in this game are far less lenient than in any other fighter that allows them, including Virtua Fighter.

[Rutawind]

I wonder if she had MAJOR SURGERY on those tits.

[BlackCatJaja]

@Rutawind Of course not; they're perfectly natural "E" sizes.

[sparxtheknight]

Damn, i didnt think this game could get any jigglier :P Keep it coming Reverge!! Cant wait for this game.

[XAikedoX]

those body bags... that has to be one of the most genius ideas for an attack ever XD

[KoreeluStromboli]

I get the weird feeling that Valentine has a liking for games of the Trauma Center series...

[Zakdawer]

It's kinda boring if you only havea knife-throwing supers...

[Grimmomega]

@Zakdawer

She's still a work in progress.

[BackwardsMan]

@Zakdawer Did you not see the wall-bouncing defibrillator super?

[MajorFlamerider]

@BackwardsMan I think that might just be a snapback.

[BackwardsMan]

@MajorFlamerider Oh yeah. I didn't think about that.

[Sperium3000]

Damn, she's tall.

[ryarod]

@Sperium3000 Eeyup. Makes sense, I suppose. As a medicinally-trained assassin, I imagine that some of her less lethal potions can make victims... HIGH!!

...(gets pelted with tomatoes.)

[blindsyde]

Did anyone else get an erection from that video? Dem bewbs!

[taipan2021]

wtf is with those special attack moves @0.41s and @1.02??? she uses a body bag and a dead guy comes out thats a shit move.

[mangaluck7]

@PsychoJosh e why r u atching go play call of dutyduty y

[PsychoJosh]

@mangaluck7 Call of Duty sucks balls and I've never touched that game for more than 5 minutes. You're an idiot if you don't think this game won't also suck balls.

[MedicHaus]

@PsychoJosh Why don't you at least provide some reasoning as to why you think this game is going to suck balls? All I'm seeing from you is presumptuous nonsense.

[PsychoJosh]

@MedicHaus When I said the game is going to suck I'm obviously basing it on what I have seen. Use your brain for once in your pathetic life, moron. Shitty art style, obnoxious and annoying characters, blatant fanservice design... after all that I couldn't give the slightest shit about how it plays because I can't get over how utterly and completely embarrassing this weeaboo garbage is, of course knowing the designer, it's going to play like MVC2.

[MedicHaus]

@PsychoJosh When you say a game is going to suck, you're basing it off of it's gameplay. The fact that you outright state that you don't even care about the gameplay means that you haven't paid any attention to how it actually plays, which means you have no valid reason for saying that it will suck balls. And it's hard to say this game has a "blatant fanservice design" when some characters aren't designed for fanservice at all, such as Peacock, Painwheel, and Umbrella.

[TheJazzer94]

@MedicHaus heck yeah, that's one of the reasons Peacock is my favorite...

[KirbyOnCronic]

@MedicHaus Umbrella has those bouncing,melty tits...XX

[anime691]

@KirbyOnCronic You mean Parasoul right?

[MedicHaus]

@PsychoJosh Furthermore, when you say "...knowing the designer, it's going to play like MVC2", you're implying that the people developing this game even have a reputation for creating outright broken games. If anything, this game strives to fix the problems MvC2 had, such as an anti-infinite system and unblockable protection. If you had actually watched footage of the game being played, then you would realize that the game is focused far more on mixups and footsies than fanservice and infinites.

[BrookeFilth]

@MedicHaus

Stop bro before it's too late this is obviously a blackhole you must not waste your effort on

[XJackIonX]

@PsychoJosh Can't get over it? That's too bad. I got over you spouting your irrelevant opinions almost instantly. What you don't like it? HEY SO DON'T BUY IT. (Like you need to be told)

[53Spawn]

@PsychoJosh Lol, so your saying the art style is shitty? LOL, so the fact that it doesnt use pixels makes it a bad game, BY WHAT U SEE? And you keep repeating, "weaboo" comments over and over and about fan-service. You're probably one of those shut ins your referring too. That cant get past a little bit of fan-service in the game to actually enjoy it, because you'll be busy beating off to it like some fresh teenage kid who just hit puberty.

[53Spawn]

@PsychoJosh And for the record, if you watch previously released trailers for this game, the combo systems isn't even close to MVC. And judging the characters =,=. seriously, might as well stick to your COD and play with your guns if you're going to make judgements like that, since no one in any COD has a freaking PERSONALITY. And saying the game is embarrassing, means, YOU'RE embarrassed to play it, meaning, you need to man the fk up. Don't just anything till u try it first hand.

[Athanase48067]

@PsychoJosh this is like the 4th time ive seen you verbally get your ass kicked in the comments of videos her on youtube. You're a pretty successful troll though, if albeit a little obvious.

[PsychoJosh]

@Athanase48067 Sorry, what? I haven't been paying attention. Every time I see someone reply to me on this video I just delete it.

[jawsTeh]

@PsychoJosh then why Have I seen comments where you reply to people?

[ReasonForNo]

@PsychoJosh So you believe the art is ther reason this game sucks? how does that relate to the gameplay mechanics at all? From what I have seen, this game looks a lot better than MVC anyways, it just barrows the assist feature, which almost ALL modern fighters use nowadays. besides that, theres nothing to say it plays exactly like MVC2.

as for the voices, turn them off, most games let you, for the art, ignore it, its not hard to ignore the fanservise and enjoy the game beyond the skin

[PsychoJosh]

@ReasonForNo Or better yet don't buy the game at all because it's stupid faux-anime shit for fat weeaboo hipsters.

[rayquezaEXD]

@PsychoJosh u mad



[BBoyPhreshershist]

@PsychoJosh Go back to COD you N00b.

[Gnorconpro]

there sure is some T&A in this game

[mlup]

Not liking her voice.

[ViniePT]

I saw this video on a HDTV... my jaw dropped. So pretty ;_; (tears of joy)

[sweatyourblood]

i love her mai shiranui stance

[kokocipher]

I think Valentine should have a move in which she drops a healing capsule and move for a poison capsule.

[kokocipher]

Buy this game if youall want a sequel

[Coldbrand]

she definitely needs more supers to work with

[ae86Pride]

I'm guessing this game WILL have Infinite combos even though half of the people say there wont be.

It just looks like a juggling fighting game at lease throw a combo breaker in the system.

[awesomeuno1]

@ae86Pride

they have something like that. there's something you can do once the infinite gets too long...don't remember what it is though, but remember that they had something t counteract infinites

[theeverlastingdark]

@ae86Pride hey have an infinite break system. When the game detects infinite loops the hit sparks change which signify to the player that they can use something similar to Mortal Kombat's breaker to stop it. There's your combo breaker.

[Grimmomega]

@ae86Pride

Everyone who's heard of this game knows there's a combo breaker in it. Never said anything about no infinites.

[sparxtheknight]

@ae86Pride Yeah there gonna be in it, but if you change up your combo MID COMBO its not considered and infinite as long as you dont input the same looped command, thats just called skill. Im pretty sure every character can connect there attack like in this video, we just have to wait til its release

[Sharpinel]

Wow, busty ninja nurse... I didn't see this coming. O_0 Toki wo tomare indeed.

[KellyNUTS]

Alpha 0.9

OMG This games gonna get pushed back again!

Still looks like its worth the wait tho! :)

[KillYounglings]

I think it's hardly facetious to judge a game based on its art style. Like any art form, enjoyment of a video game is a matter of taste. It's disrespectful to Alex and the Reverge crew to say the visuals don't matter in a fighting game.

However, Skullgirls has a lot of clout behind it now. So, people who are still only hung up on the art style, not even the all-girl cast, should at least consider trying it when it's released.

Heck, I remember thinking StarFox looked whack back in the day...

[shinoobidan]

Official: I'm buying this game.

[ryarod]

@shinoobidan Excellent choice, mon ami.

[Doberboy218]

Buff her speed by like 15% and she'll be much more ninja-y!

[kunanka12]

does anyone know the song in the beginning!

[thunderhogTH]

Those striped panties at the end...

[Rainoviews]

Sakuya-saaaan

[playtoyx]

Da Worldo

[DemeanorYT83]

@playtoyx Ahahahaha!!! Right on!!! XD Toki wo tomare!

[shadow2bolt]

People.... 0:08

[kekkan]

Damn stealing shit from morrigan really.

[RydiaFromFF2]

Trying to figure out the ending... I'm not quite following what it is besides the alt outfit... it's like there's a hint in there somewhere....

[Ausdrake]

@RydiaFromFF2 Check under the skirt for a thing called Shimapan ;)

[RydiaFromFF2]

@Ausdrake That's it? Stripped Pantie? =_= *leaves*

[GIR177]

@Ausdrake Striped panties have a special name for them?

[Zeronum2]

@PsychoJosh Why you here

[rofl0bot]

@PsychoJosh PUNS!?!?! IN MY VIDEO GAMES?!?!

outrageous.

[FuturePants]

@rofl0bot Refrences to 4chan and annoying decade old memes and video game refrences?

And the fact that it's UMVC3 with a different art style?

I find this game highly annoying as well, very dissapointed.

[polarity55]

@FuturePants I can only see thinking it's just like UMvC3 if you only have the very shallowest understanding of fighting games.The central mechanics are different in massively important ways.

[neeneejb1]

@PsychoJosh  then why did you click on this video ?

[Grimmomega]

@PsychoJosh

Stop being ass devastated.

[ryarod]

@PsychoJosh Hush little baby, don't you cry... FPS will sing you a lullaby...

[PsychoJosh]

@ryarod What are you even saying?

[DamianSabre]

*Sees her stance*

...

Mai Shiranui.

[sonicmaster987]

I love how watching gameplay for SkullGirls feels like watching the most beautiful cutscene ever animated by god himself.

[madskilliz]

Valentine = Firebrand. Poor damage output. Resets are her best friend.

[Tayl1rYT]

@madskilliz Heh, why is Firebrand primary reference for a reset character? D:

BTW you should read up on the Firebrand Death Loop. That game is fantastically stupid.

[ZomgXBanned2]

I think this is going to be the only character people play.

[Retnuhs66]

I'm pretty sure her damage output would have looked much better had this not been set up as 1v1, just saying.

[KageHiRyu]

Hellooo NURSE!

[Rugalitarian]

Slutgirls

[NeptuneMS385]

I got an ad about the origins of Spiderman narrated by Stan Lee.

I think YouTube is starting to get smarter with their ads.

[kyokoropamuyo]

her damage is fine if she has lots of tools for approaching, poking (safety) and/or zoning (projectyles).

[1987ajax]

I swear that special just screams dio brando



[DreamChasersInc]

At least they know their target demo well (which of course is fans of old school fighting games)

[LightningZerker]

Now that's the type of nurse I'd main.

[Zell445Return]

Awesome 

[PhoenixEnforcer603]

I'm pretty sure the developers know more about how to balance than anyone that watched this video did, that's for sure. Never assume based on an dismissively small amount of footage of an incomplete character. Also, her damage was fine for the combos she did.

[orochinagis]

did she have an ultra or lvl 3 special?

[Mightfox]

Awesome. Love the normals, combos, and potential for pressure.

[KNitro123]

She's OK I guess. Still nothing on Filia and Samson

[jinsaotomex3]

Fuck yeah shimapan! 

[polarity55]

Why do people think they can watch a minute and a half long video of a character and know what's better for balance than the people making the game?

[GoldenHeartNeko]

@polarity55 That's not even the bad part. The bad part is that they're challening Mike Z on fighting game balance.

That's not even like challenging a regular director. They're challenging a director that has played in more fighting game tourneys than all the commentators combined.

[Maarkaald]

@GoldenHeartNeko To question MikeZ is to invite the wake-up 720.

[hitjohnyup]

@GoldenHeartNeko Mike Z aside (I don't know anything about him), you're saying a tier whore potentially knows more about what makes a good fighting game than anyone else? I'm confused. Playing in tournaments is great and all, but that's a pretty subjective standpoint to come at fighting games from. I'm not about to ask Daigo how to design a game that would prevent him from having an edge in making his living. Anyway, I wasn't even following the discussion, just asking.

[GoldenHeartNeko]

@hitjohnyup What? No. I'm not saying anything like that. Where are you even getting tier whores from? Mike Z isnt a tier whore for one, and secondly, nothing about my statement even implies anything related to tier whores. My statement is about how a player who places well at many tourneys for multiple fighting games isn't someone a random youtube user should try to challenge on what needs to be buffed/nerfed in said player's fighting game, as they know far less than said player.

[ryarod]

@GoldenHeartNeko Poetry, in the form of a Youtube comment. Nicely put, friend!

[zhenghf]

@polarity55 these people don't play fighting games

[ryarod]

@polarity55 Because those people are arrogant twits.

[Resuteru]

Needs DIO BRANDO Colors

[SuperUltimateLoser]

Seems kinda slow for a ninja in an airdasher? I don't know much, but I thought she'd be faster.

[Kentaro21]

@SuperUltimateLoser The disclaimer said she was still in development. They might still be tweaking a few things............did that sound dirty?

[1Nanalo]

her voice sounds trustworthy

[Thienthan]

How many repetitions counts as an infinite for the detector to allow for a burst?

[Doberboy218]

@Thienthan It varies but it gets more and more strict the more they're done.

[AngryJoshua]

@Thienthan No...its not infinite...he used 3 different commands leading into the ones that looked simular...

so imagine the buttons are "Lp,Mp,Hp,Lk,Mk,Hk"

(example)

Launcher-Lp-Mp-Hp-Launcher-Lk-­Mp-Hp-Launcher-Mk-Mp-Hp-Comman­d Gran-SUPER

[jelaninoel]

Needs more speed....& bounce

[Captnspork]

Im thinking she'll need more speed in her attacks. Really slow for a ninja. Keep it up fellahs.

[AxleIsBored]

she looks really weak from what ive seen in gameplay, not just this but like event gameplay, she really might need some buffs.

[ALogTV]

I presume that it's either Megan Hollingshead or Erin Fitzgerald voicing Valentine?

[glovestrong48]

I don't know what you guys are talking about. She only showed ONE super in this vid, her lv1 scalpel throw, and that's meant to be a weak combo-ender that can OTG. That other attack was a snapback that just wallbounced because Fillia was a one-character team. And she doesn't need a damage buff, she has a ton of ranged and versatile attacks because she's a NINJA. She does not need a damage buff.

Sorry to do this, but thumbs up this so people can see and not get the wrong idea, Thank you.

[anthonygamer]

I bet there are infinite's abound in this game.

[thearrah]

@anthonygamer nope..actually the exact opposite..in skullgirls, there is a "anti infinite system" where the game recognizes a loop after a given amount of reps of a combo and allows the opponent to drop out of what would be an infinite in other games..its pretty bad ass..

[Ezio43]

yeah....definitely needs a damage buff. her supers dont do ANY damage...

[adri985]

So people will not take this game with solid mechanics seriously becasuse of some boobs, but will play seriously a game full of gimicks and random factors like marvel 3. Lovin the capcom generation.

[Chubunater]

HELLO NURSE <3

Im definitely maining her and Cerebella

[TheSoulOfBasement15]

Sexy, awesome, great moves? EXCELLENT

[MegaDoogles]

So what's her gimmick?

[glovestrong48]

@MegaDoogles She's a ninja nurse with a LOT of ranged pokes and versatile attacks.

[levon60153]

awesome

[lishakara]

Ooh, I like her voice. I wasn't sold on Valentine before, but her voice makes it in my book.

[RolanMcDolan]

The fanservice is really getting kinda excessive; people probably aren't gonna take this game seriously.

That being said, things are looking solid so far. I agree that Valentine could use a bit of a damage buff, but that's my only complaint.

[BuyMeThingsnow]

@RolanMcDolan Anyone who wouldn't take a good game seriously because of art style is a scrub.

Anyone who knows what the fuck they are talking about judges fighters by GAMEPLAY only.

[Kyubi888Naruto]

I thought they said that you would be able to escape loops by pressing a button?

[polarity55]

@Kyubi888Naruto Only if they start a chain with a move they've already used in the combo. If you watch those loops, she uses a different normal to start the chain of normals each time. Then when she runs out of normals she does something else.

[MegamanEFG]

Man the cast of this game is hella diverse and unique from each other!! I love it!!

[adr916sac]

major boobage, major boobage

[SonicMonarchSSBB]

SHE LOOKS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LIKE STRIDER HIRYU

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!1!!!1!­one...

*makes her main in Skullgirls

[TheGenesisDC]

She has a jump loop? I'm interested, unless they want to take that away too.

[Falcovsleon21]

@TheGenesisDC They're not taking loops and infinites out. They have a counter system for people who abuse this shit to punish them with. So don't worry about it.
