A Look at SkullGirls(Pre-Alpha) as of (8-9-10)

[jimpargon]

This looks absolutely fucking retarded.....

[Kairosbland]

@jimpargon Love the part where you pick a year old video, maybe you should check a more recent vid?

[Grimmomega]

@jimpargon

You have shit taste then.

[wolfrox777]

Bounce bounce bounce.....

If ya know what I mean.

[TerrenceJohnson12]

She looks like a combination of Morrigan and Eddy from Guilty gear. cool.

[kokocipher]

this stage looks cool :D

[DeathTheHalls]

So...like MVC3, huh?

[Metal2Hedgehog]

Are they using the same characters? Or do all just look the same?

[alldaygamer]

@Metal2Hedgehog It's a very early build of the game, so not all the characters that are going to be in the final version are being shown.

[MasterNinja1250]

the art still is pretty cool

[TheDarkWall]

so how are the infinites detected, after one or 2 loops or something, I'm just wondering if their will be work arounds. Also the question of burst baiting being too strong does come to mind. On another note I don't know if this game has enough characters to work as 3 vs 3 tag mode. I'd much rather at least a 1 vs 1 option.

[jazzytrumpet]

@TheDarkWall this is an old video the game is a 2vs2 or 1vs1 or 2vs1 with the singel character being stronger.also baiting a burst doesn't seem likely but i'm not sure if the burst can still be done on rest peroids in a loop but if that's the case he still has to start a secound loop for you to have burst that means you most likely burst on the first hit of the 2nd loop.

[TheDarkWall]

@jazzytrumpet That just makes it sound all the more baitable. I mean that just means start the second loop and stop right away or guess just like in bb, the difference being the situation where they're going to burst is MUCH more defined and as such can be easier to predict.

[jazzytrumpet]

@TheDarkWall yeah your right but i'm not sure if you can burst on a rest peroids so if you stop i'm not sure if the game will give your opponent the burst i just guessing from what i saw and i'm pretty sure that the person who is getting baited will just wait for a move that has alot of recovery befor bursting because unless the loop has a long window for you to hit them before they recover they'll just drop the loop.

[snitches2442]

@TheDarkWall there will most likely be more characters when the game is released

[Gazawes]

This chick fights like eddie from Guilty Gear

[breadpops]

well im going to be getting this now i just need a release date

[Ketsui]

What website hosts this flash game?

[Falcovsleon21]

@striderzer0 Beta? This looks more like Alpha build material to me.

[UpskirtPower]

so theres infinite combo... but also infinite combo breaker? thats good. what about blazblue? can someone tell me about blazblue? does it have infinite combo? i bought it at launch day and i can seems to hit oponent and they in air and when they down i hit again non stop.... does blazblue have infinite combo breaker too? i sold blazblue... dont like it.

[maxgunn555]

@UpskirtPower blazblue does have a combo breaker. i don't know if blazblue has infinite combos in it. they're usually not put into games. blazblue generally allows for really long combos though.

[UpskirtPower]

@maxgunn555 i see. in skullgirls game.... when u block..... do u press a button like mortal kombat? or just press back like street fighter?

[maxgunn555]

@UpskirtPower i dont know. im not too interested in this gamewhen they're only showing like 3 chars. probably back thats what most 2d fighters use. whats your psn tag?

[UpskirtPower]

@maxgunn555 i havent been on my ps3 for 2 months. ylod but psn similar to this one.

[maxgunn555]

@UpskirtPower and this game is perfect for you i guess.

[Coatl360]

@maxgunn555 yeah I bought the sketchbook for this last year and they had a a great amoun of characters and their demo was only one character at the time.

[shikamaru526]

You can chose to only have 1 character, right?

[SpinDoctor91]

this looks awesome,im glad it's coming to PSN this Summer. :D

[07Fernando07]

im glad you have recover on like MVC3 which has delay out the ass so that noobs have more time to attack you.

[ItsJustSuppi]

so they purposely put infinites in the game or what, since they made a feature to recognize an infinite and all.

[HateToWin]

@ItsJustSuppi they made it where you can do infinites, but once the game recognizes it the other play can stop it by pressing 2 buttons, that way it doesnt take away from your ability to combo, but it also gets rid of infinites in a reasonable way, and makes you vary your combos if you want to extend them

[ItsJustSuppi]

@HateToWin oh okay, so how many times can the 2 buttons (burst?) can be used in a single match?

[HateToWin]

@ItsJustSuppi it can be used any time an infinite is being used against you, and it doesnt take any meter or anything to do, whenever they go for a loop (doing the same set of moves twice in one combo) the second time they hit you with it you can just hit the buttons to stop the combo and it looks like it pushes them half a screen away, and i didnt pay much attention, but it may also inflict damage to them

[striderzer0]

@ItsJustSuppi currently anytime someone loops something

[gameshark08]

will this come out on 360 and ps3?

[kisang49]

@striderzer0 yea i know :/

Btw did you play this game? :D

[kisang49]

I want this game >;D

It reminds me of mvc2 and ssf4.

i love how the graphics look too

[The5thpolice]

Not to bash on you guys at autumn games but if this game plays like mvc ain't capcom gonna sue or something?

[Aqua1222]

@The5thpolice

Why would they? Teching out of throws, and tag team are almost universal, not just Capcom uses it. KOF has used tag team in two of their games, and Melty Blood has even used tagging once, not to mention throw and knockdown teching is pretty basic. Capcom doesn't actually own these mechanics, it simply coined terms and made them pretty basic maneuvers and actions in fighting games all around.

[iorilamia]

arcanaheartdarkstalkersguiltyg­earmeltyblood....cool

[Aqua1222]

@iorilamia

As cool as this looks, it probably won't knock Melty from the spot it already has in my heart >.>

I'll definitely look out for this one though. And btw you forgot to mention BlazBlue :P

[RisingProduction1]

hmmm not feeling to hot bout this game....looks Broken

[AkumetsuLord]

@RisingProduction1 no...its not broken and for an Indie Fighting game its pretty impressive

[RisingProduction1]

@AkumetsuLord eh guess ill have to c but ill still stick wit SSF4

[fatjoe460]

Mike Z is truly a god among men. I'll definitely be looking out for this game :D

[Frisbieinstein]

How cliche.

[fromstart2finish]

this needs to be more popular than touhoes

[Mariocake111]

I'll be looking forward to this :3

[ragnarock0100]

this game looks cool

[popo237]

What systems will this be on? PC only I am guessing.

[striderzer0]

@popo237 i believe that he is looking to get this onto ps3/xbox360

[popo237]

@striderzer0 Like on discs or Digital Download?

[thexmario]

@popo237 wrong system!

[popo237]

@thexmario Wow, you make no sense.

[thexmario]

@popo237 Seems someone didnt browse or look the above comments.

[popo237]

@thexmario Somebody didn't see my comment was from 2 months ago.

[thexmario]

@popo237 I did, yet I posted ;)

[popo237]

@thexmario Ah well, I guess I was baited pretty good then. Good show.

[Requiem0724]

@popo237 xbox360/ps3. maybe pc on steam maybe.

[NovaZengear]

Day one purchase!!! 

[CrazyDawgy]

This game looks like it will be excellent. Button layout/tag system reminds me of MVC2 (obviously), the speed and animation style reminds me of Blazblue, the moves/super meter system reminds me of Jump Ultimate Stars (only blocked hits count too, which fixes what I felt was a major flaw in the JUS metagame), the art reminds me of classic Neo Geo titles and the overall presentation feels fresh and exciting. Two thumbs up, will buy a machine for my collection upon release.

[eclipse561]

Are the backgrounds going to be animated?

[ErickDamon]

Coming along nicely.

[Metalpaladin]

Looking good, but they must work in the sound, the announcer is nonexistent and I can't feel the kicks, , punches, knockdowns, etc. Backgrounds looks flat and lifeless too. Those little things are the ones that make a fighting game stand apart. Sorry for the bad english.

[popo237]

@Metalpaladin Your english is not that bad.

[neodarkguy]

the game looks real nice. i was worried about it since i have not heard or seen of the game since 2008. i hope it gets finished within the next year or so.

[NasaXnieru]

Even as an unfinished game this looks excellent

[SonofGenkai18]

This game has really come a long way since 2008. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

[TheMajestikOne]

This looks absolutely amazing! The art style and character designs are great!

[Omegax9000]

this looks awesome "name of the game" ? any other details?

[girligirl2341]

@Omegax9000 The game is called Skullgirls. Type it into Google and it's official website should pop up. GET HYPED! :)

[occult702]

GENIUS!

[Hecatom]

people, ignore the troll, he is just a crapcom head, he is not worth the time

[hurpdurp1017]

Is this still using sprites or did they switch to HD artwork?

[jinsaotomex3]

This looks solid as hell. Vertical and horizontal tag out is damn nice and infinite prevention is always welcome.

[DeathNote]

Millia Rage

[DeathNote]

@DeathNote I take that back, it's Millia and Zato-1/Eddie's daughter.

[TheBraveBlaze]

Good stuff, I'm interested, definitely.

@Tadaimasanjo Why so salty? The appeal is a different art style, and mechanics that aren't completely casual.

@rockleeto Man, get a fuckin' clue already. I see no Loli Schoolgirls. Literally. Maybe if you'd actually look around, you'd have understood that by now. It takes no effort to look into something before you talk out of your ass.

[ephekt420]

@TheBraveBlaze

Not loli... coming from n obvious weebo. lol

The game looks fun, but just like Arcana Hearts, only creepy anime fanboys are going to play it.

[TheBraveBlaze]

@ephekt420 Sure thing, bro. obvious 'weebo'. You Mean... Weeaboo? Yeah, no. I do like what I like, but I'm for damn sure not a wapanese.

[rockleeto]

@TheBraveBlaze you see no lolis? you see no underaged pedo friendly school girls in school outfits? YOU REALLY DONT FUCKING SEE THAT WITH THE MIRROR MATCH OF THE ONLY CHARACTER AVAILABLE? GTFO.

I'm trying to be as constructive as I can with as less rage as possible, because unlike you and the other mikez fanboys booty smoochers, I actually care.

[TheBraveBlaze]

@rockleeto Fanboy. Lawls. I didn't even know, or care, frankly, who MikeZ was before I heard about this.

You need to get your eyes examined.

I guess I'm wasting my time, though for a troll, you're being awfully thorough.

[jinsaotomex3]

@rockleeto You keep using the word loli to try to make some sort of point. Doesn't help that you're using the word wrong.

[rockleeto]

@jinsaotomex3 just be quiet ok, you don't know anything about the game ok. oh by the way my team will be this schoolgirl, the 8 year old choolgirl with the umbrella and the schoolgirl with arms on her head. my team's name will be pedlol and will be rushdown YEAAAAA

[jinsaotomex3]

@rockleeto Stop being ignorant ok. you don't know what the word loli means ok. Who gives a shit about what your team will be, you STILL are using the words wrong. Ignorant fuck.

[Tadaimasanjo]

This looks terrible, looks like a game Id only play on Newgrounds.

Whats the appeal? I dont get it.

[grr8ts]

The escape infinites thing is pretty silly, I've never seen something like that before but it doesn't look like it'd hurt gameplay or anything lol.

This game is starting to look pretty fun... I hope to see it finished sometime.

[striderzer0]

@xsozzle yea

[RunningWildVidya]

Nice afro.

[Kabawank]

...SEXY

[MDKXL]

im really liking how this is looking! im sure in the final product the health bars will look nicer. also i hope that the super meter will be at the bottom of the screen thats just my preference, im liking the win quote lol its original.

[rockleeto]

skull girls is so fkn obvious man, fighting anime schoolgirl outfit lolis? you fucking kidding me?

pedo friendly doujing rip off mvc2 as of right now.

Change the title ASAP and introduce a badass NON LOLI character if you ever expect any company to take you seriously.

[RSONE32]

@rockleeto its not about the look but the play. its his game, and the scene already loves it.

[rockleeto]

@RSONE32 what play? marvel done right? sure w/e im not complaining about that but it looks to me that you are the type who wouldn't care playing this as a pedo fighter or a dragqueen fighter. If that's the case then your opinion is not much worth.

as far as the scene? you mean your local boys in cali? do you think anyone is going to chose these lolis over arcana heart or melty blood? especially with mvc3 coming out? at this point he'll get a random shitty company or nothing at all, a shame.

[RSONE32]

@rockleeto ive talked to mike about this, and big names are already interested in it. mr wizard is interested in it. and the core players of mvc2, cvcs2,3s, GG, BB are interested in this. he wants to bring back good games b4 they were contaminated by graphic whoring. mvc3 is ass. boring, repetitive, no depth of game mechanics. looks dont mean shit, when a game is good, a game is good. 

[rockleeto]

@RSONE32 what is wizard gonna do, put it on srk? lol core players interested in this? some "core" players are into mbaa and i dont see anyone flocking over to play that, if people don't like pedo fighters they simple don't.

You saying mvc3 is ass? an 8 char beta e3 build of mvc3 is still better than whatever this ends up being. as for your other points about repetitive boring etc, let me remind you that this is a rehash of mvc2 it doesn't get any more boring and repetitive than schoolgirls

[TheBraveBlaze]

@rockleeto I assume you feel you're right and superior in your opinion, but you're actually just delusional, as well as lacking in context. The character designs fit the art style and theme. Mechanically, it's attempting some new spins on old features that, in all honesty, seem pretty common sense to me, in the way they are implemented.

But in all seriousness, you really are using 'pedo' and 'loli' in the wrong damn context. Everyone that's calling you on it is right.

[RSONE32]

@rockleeto pretty sure you havent played it. you have no idea the mechanics of this game. and wiz doesn't have to put it on srk. wiz is just a respectable man who knows whats games are unique. and NONE of the core players are into mbaa lols. its better to have a rehashed "good" version of mvc2, then a "horrible" version of it. (aka mvc3) they BOTH are rehashes of the game.

[bofo2919]

@rockleeto Why are you already saying mvsc3 will be a ´´great game´´? Have you seen that gameplay? Stupid ass projectile friendly game and the same repetitive bullshit over and over? Come on. I know it won´t be bad but don´t say already ´´especially when mvsc3 is coming up´´like its gonna make everyone forget about every other fighting game when that is released.People will play it because of its name mainly.

[decoil]

DEM THIGHS

[gahblahgah]

I like the lighting. Very well done.
