SkullGirls(Pre-Alpha) Gameplay #1 at Family Fun Arcade (8-8-10)

[0ctopusComp1etely]

A year and a half ago, huh? The game sure has developed and changed. I'd say it's come a long way.

[MelbaToast454]

male characters

[MelbaToast454]

boring. too bad no me characters. i wanna relate somewhat :)

[kyxz2]

reminded me of milia rage from guilty gear.

[MrPlatypusJones]

MVC2 music in the background

[JebusInYerMom]

damn head blocking the video

[GudsSkyfall]

Wow, looks like the most disgusting and worthless fighting game to date.

[DarkScarecrow1233]

bad ass. my type of game.

[angryheretic]

DEATH CARGO

[eggbadass]

hey this game have no timer

[striderzer0]

@eggbadass this was so people can figure out stuff with out worrying about time and before the quick debug was in place

[dunnooooo1234789]

I don't believe that is family fun arcade because:

1.2D girl characters jogggin their breasts, down and up..

2.I kept hearing racket and talking in the background...

3.Plus, is there more character than just two?

[striderzer0]

@dunnooooo1234789 mike z brought a build as of 8-8-10 that was on a computer connected to a tv. I was recording with a camera thats why you hear all of the other games and people and in this build there is actually one character with different color pallets that you can pick multiple times. the most recent version I played has three characters

[RRRadish]

I really hope this is reminiscent of old school fighters like they promise. :l I'm tired of fighters where the only way to get good is to memorize dozens of combos and waste away hours practicing them. Back in the day it was easier to figure out combos yourself.

[P3WNAGE]

"Family Fun Arcade"

Riiiiiiiiight, : P

I like this. It's a neat throwback to those old school 2D fighting games. I've never seen, nor heard of it before until Kotaku, and it looks like an interesting pick up. I'll look to this, another time.

[striderzer0]

@P3WNAGE yes Family Fun Arcade. an actual arcade with actual arcade fighting games that you can hear in the back ground

[P3WNAGE]

@striderzer0 Oh(Joke Aborted).



[crattia24]

no pc love?

[joshmdps]

So, same skill-set with different characters? That's what I saw.

[striderzer0]

@joshmdps these are all the same character with different color pallets

[biggzilla]

Oh that's that's awesome then, and so is that arcade.

[biggzilla]

Is this Family Fun Arcade in Granada Hills, next to the Pizza Place, because I don't think they have this there any more. I was there last weekend.

[striderzer0]

@biggzilla yes, but this game is still in development and was running on a laptop

[Lexandreax]

I hear Vega!!! : D

[b02i]

lagggg free internet

[wrm67]

Hey you down in front, trying to catch a panty shot

[mothernaturecockbloc]

I liked the Marvel background noises more than this game. It looks bland and boring, like Melty Blood. Plus, the art is awful.

/opinion.

[spdeew]

Game has potentail, I could see it being a sort've melty blood.

Also lol at MvC2 sounds in the backround

[TheXtremeBUTTER]

i want this game so bad but i cant even do a ssf4 combo much less one of these, damn

[Robdoggh]

@TheXtremeBUTTER

SSF4 combos are actually pretty difficult because the timing is so specific and because dash distances are so short; they're way harder than, say Blazblue combos, and Blazblue is nothing but combos.

The point of this post is that you will probably do just fine if you buy this game.

[mrderp55]

lol @ being more interested in the marvel noises than this game

[Idlevice]

This looks so much like Melty Blood (not a bad thing). Interesting. I'll have to check it out

[P3RFCT1NSAN1TY]

whos playing as vega @ 0:15

[SpoofTheater]

This game has some real potential, only downside right now is the character art and also the skillset on these character look way to similar to morrigans.

[caioenzo]

Those lifebars were designed on MS Paint by a 4-year-old? What the fuck?

[striderzer0]

@caioenzo placeholder lifebars are placeholder

[TheFreakOtaku]

@caioenzo Yeah the lifebars look MUCH better in recent versions of the game

[ReasonForNo]

@caioenzo you relize this game is a Work in Progress right? things like spiffy life bars arent needed until later

[puppydrowner147]

@caioenzo fucking retard

[StreetSquirrel]

nice hair at 2:02

[EctoplasmOnToast]

0:35 Galactic Tornado!

[pastuiedada]

All those lonely virgins who enjoyed arcana heart will be sure to eat this one up too, god what the fuck has happened to the fighting game genre, first mvc 3 turns out to be an entry level casual fags wet dream, the worst series of all time mk gets a sequel (somehow) and now this

[superkeijikun]

@pastuiedada

PROTIP: When all else fails, blame the casuals. ;)

[ifarah12]

@pastuiedada Arcana heart is a pretty solid fighting game

why can't a fighting game be easily accessible to casuals?

and some people actually enjoy mortal kombat

[pastuiedada]

@ifarah12 Arcana Heart is an entry level snooze fest IMO, as for your second question fighters have long been the only way to measure skill amongst a number of other players, so no I really think that fighters should be enjoyed by people who can excel, plus the old adage of 'i can't win, this game sucks' .Kinda weeds out the Halo fags. As for MK, you know what hey, I will admit they have some cool characters (if only a few), the company however has taken no care to make a GOOD game in years

[ifarah12]

@pastuiedada If you don't like arcana heart that's your opinion and i respect that but just because you don't doesn't mean it doesn't have a strong fanbase of hardcore fighting game fans. Why can't casuals have 1 or 2 fighting games they can play if they don't want to learn combos and the higher end mechanics why can't they have fun with the genre, Elite fighting game fans shouldn't be the only ones playing the genre. I'll agree with you in saying the last few mortal combat games weren't very

[ifarah12]

@pastuiedada good but the series looks to be coming back to it's roots so old fans who left (like me) should enjoy it

also thank you for not being one of the people who just flames others and for taking the time to make a well thought out post

[pastuiedada]

@ifarah12 I do get quite vehement about things I feel strongly, and this is probably my most passionate subject. I for one would like nothing more than for MK9 to be a great game, judging from their track record it will be hard, but possible.

Another slightly unrelated subject. I hope all people will wish hope upon Japan in their time of need, pray if you are religious. It hits hard when people who have brought you enjoyment for years have fallen into crisis.

[beepimarobot]

@ifarah12 but.. praying doesn't do anything

[ifarah12]

@beepimarobot what?

[Eighties8a8ies]

@pastuiedada /Ignore

this game is finally coming together,i hope sincerely that mike z gets this team of non fighting game devs and artists to piece together a decent fighter.. also really hope SF4 MK9 MVC3 and SkullG can pave the way for others to try and conquer the FG genre, and maybe win back some of its horrid fickle, elietist "fans" True, this is no Guilty but its a step in the right direction, a modern proper 2d fighter and you're hating? =( the games not even anywhere near finished !

[pastuiedada]

@Eighties8a8ies Well, I do respect some peoples opinions, if they sound like they know what they're talking about. So, stating that MK9, MVC3 and this abomination will 'pave' any way is pure nonsense. SF4 was a mediocre experience, Super was a bit better, but the thing that got me is that Capcom did nothing new whatsoever. MVC has been a poor series after one, and go ahead and flame if you must, but it is only my opinion. Oh and elite usually means something along the line of the best, so thanks

[BlastoiseSama]

@pastuiedada and who are you? the greatest fighting game critic ever born?

[felmilward]

this is way better than the trailer.

[RCKChich]

Family Fun Center has Skullgirls? I WONDER IF MAIN EVENT DOES TOO ALSKDLFKSDFL -runs off there to check-

[striderzer0]

@RCKChich this is video of the beta version running off a laptop

[futurereagan964]

Jesus christ, 3:30 for ONE match!?

[kisang49]

mvc2's music i hear xD!

[DrackeMaehara]

silly millia what are you doing in that game come back to guilty gear

[TheChocoloco95]

this character reminds me of eve from black cat and morrigan aensland put together but it's mostly eve because she can change any part of her body to whatever she wants

[BakuNetTomorow]

Are you playing in a game hall that background likes Viedeo games sound

[ixlachamako]

mmm... in my opinion this game lacks of appeal, you know, lovable characters maybe is because the hair-asskicker-girl is mute

[BShingo]

Kick his Ass Storm!!

[Sablicious]

Is this on MAME?

[Newtwarrior]

I remember playing this at Otakon!

[chinonononozu]

Who's up for sailor moon snes

[TacticoolOperator]

daaaaaamn check out that anime swager

[hidokenking351]

maybe when this hits systems it will be faster and have fixed background or some more better movement , overall i want this shit NAO

[8MKWeb8]

Wow... That totally isn't a copy of Morrigan. Same hair moves and everything.

[DragonGodXIII]

Darkstalkers meets Arcana Heart Meets Marvel vs Capcom.

I want this.

[Salem]

They whip their hair back and forth!

[nahhchill]

The graphics are good and all but it looks sooo bad.

[sevx1]

nice boob physics

[welcometut]

Sonic in brawl...

[Grug16]

So many palette swaps...

[KiddDaBeauty]

Skullgirls is pure hype =) First time I heard of this game and what they're aiming for, I was like "want NAO" ^^

[SamzaNemesis]

So this is a generic version of Touhou 12.3

[KruxisV]

lol @ Storm in the background.

[girligirl2341]

I don't think the 3-girl-tag-in/out is a good idea. Maybe for a different mode, but not for the story mode. Because based on all their stories I've read, these girls shouldn't work together 'cause this is a fight for a prize that only ONE can win. :/

Other than that, I love the game so far, I'm craving for more, thanks for the vids, and hopefully Squiggly is the next one to make an appearance. Or Peacock. :)

[RSONE32]

i love the new meters, the way characters end. and new supers. <3 so damn jealous

[RSONE32]

mike z's game is the absolute shit. this should have been mvc3.

[chau2k5]

@RSONE32 good thing you're the minority
