Shit, really? I might pick it up then, doesn't it have Marie too?

No, just Annie. They say all guest characters are something like late game content, to avoid interferring with story and such.

I thought there was some concept art with Marie, but I think I might be mis-remembering. The only other thing I know about it is that Shovel Knight was also supposed to be a guest character

Skullgirls' biggest yearly tournament is happening right now

twitch.tv/bgcallisto

I doubt it, mike z always says he doesn't want to make another one
won't lose hope Annie, Feng, and Panzerfist will make into the game

I have this weird feeling they're actually going to add new characters to mobile outside existing ones in the game. Also what happened to the switch port? Is it just vaporwave now?

I like the taste of the setting that the game gives. You get a fairly nice overview of a chunk of the world and a closer look at the different areas and facets of one specific location. If a sequel ever does come out maybe it can focus on a different part of the world and its lore/conflicts, like the Dragon Kingdom
As gay as it sounds, I also like how easy it seems to be to place original characters in the setting

At combo breaker they had a booth advertising both the mobile game as well as the port to switch and xbox one actually. Mike Z was even there, I watched him play 3S for bit.

Pre-orders are back up for the switch port limited edition. Should I bite?

Filia is cute and best girl. Fuck fatfags for ruining her.

I fucking hate fatfags and what they did to Filia. I hope they all get diabetes or something.

Rent free

It's getting an Xbox One port? I can finally play the fully updated shit?

Just want to say that solo characters have placed really high in competitions. Pretty sure a solo Filia made it to grand finals once. You don't have to play a whole team to compete, a solo character is strong enough that it can compete with a whole team.

That said, the wall I hit with this game is memorizing combo strings.

>kai kennedy commentating

Feels neat to see a voice actor get so into a game they voiced for.

Filia is best girl.

wasn't he a player and commentator before he voiced Beowulf?

>wing still running solo filia
Incredible.

That would make a lot of sense. Kind of new to skullgirls so I wasn't aware.

He's honestly making me want to pick up Filia as my solo main. That movement and those combos are just graceful.

Indeed

>Yu Wan about to hack off Taliesin's arm
The guy really is just a good man, isn't he?

You should totally pick up filia, her learning curve might be a bit steep but once you can master her b&b's she's so fun to use.

But did they actually say anything about when the port is coming?

>horse fighting game we're not allowed to talk about on Yea Forums because of reasons

Really? I thought she was supposed to have one of the easier learning curves since she's kind of the standard for the game.

If she's easier than Fortune then it'll probably still be worth making the switch.

Theres a board for that retard its called /mlp/

God I fucking hate Peacock's voice. She's God-tier but why the fuck did they have to filter her VA through a free Android app?

>forcing someone to go to /mlp/ to play a fighting game because it has horses in it
Barneyfag has become too powerful

Ha Ha! Let's add a living tuba and a robot instead of actual story characters that would force us to work.

Because it's meant to sound cybernetic and have a bit of a reverb

It depends on who you ask really.

Well they sure fucking failed at it

I like Filia, but I fucking hate fatfags ruining her. Anything more than this is unacceptable with the only exception being that one doujin with human Samson.

Thanks man.

Just hold on 'till Thursday, user. Or make a different thread.

It's not even the 500 hit combos, it's the fact that at 10 different points in that 500 hit combo they could have done a reset and if you aren't watching for it 100% of the time they just get to start the combo again.
I don't mind getting hit with a long combo, it's basically just see if they drop and then hold their oki if they don't, but constantly looking out for resets is so draining.

The mobile version is planning to add them in since all the old characters are already in the game. Well, almost all, the only one left is Fuuka.

I want to get back in the mobile game but the gacha and the controls turn me off from it.

Here's a theory I've been working on for a while
Skullgirls should have been a beatem up game.

PLEASSSSSSSSSE

Not a bad theory, I like it.

I love filia.

FUCK SONIC FOX

Big Band was a mistake, but he was worth it.

Sonicfox is gonna win again isn't he?

Thursday's thread got ruined this week, I imagine the same thing is gonna happen next week.

Most of it was spurred on because apparently fatfags stormed a non-Thursday thread. Be cool and it'll blow over, probably. Barneyfag 2.0 will probably keep at it for a while, though. Dude seems obsessive

If the fatfags get rousted I honestly wouldn't mind. I think there's enough non-fat SG fanart that we can image dump without fatpics to keep threads alive during the slower discussions.

There definitely is. So much was made from the character voting and EVO fundraiser days. I don't know if there's been another boom since then. Some people have said the phone game actually got decently popular but I don't follow that.

But that's not the point of the thursday thread. It's not there to talk about skullgirls really.

Ottomo would have been so cool.

the westaboos in japan like the mobile game so there’s been a lot of new art from them

>Sonic Fox wins yet another SG tournament
I know he didn't win last year, but swift fox was a fucking furry. I'm so fucking mad that everyone who played against him fucking choked and dropped their combos/resets.

once lab zero gets there shit together there might be still a chance for him and the others to be made

sonic and sage are the only sponsored players that get to go to majors regularly. imagine trying not to choke against sonic on the big stage yourself

Never thought I'd be happy about the japanese obsession with gachas.

Alex Ahad wants to leave the goddamn company. He's counting on patreon to give him money so he can laze around and draw character designs. I doubt the current team will stay forever.

Patreon was a Mistake

They've spent what, 5 years now "just needing to get their shit together?"
Bad luck is one thing, but when every deal and partnership the company has ever made goes wrong somewhere you start to wonder who's the common factor.

Shame. Do any artists want to do anything beyond patreon anymore? Cartoon, comics, and more are all kind of shit these days.

The common factor has to be Mike Z,that's where i'd put my money.

More like the fucking CEO and Konami forever fucking them over. Mike Z cares about gameplay the most don't link me the shitty ass forum post but the CEO completely fucks up every business deal

How many deals and partnerships are you claiming here? The parties that had the biggest pull over SG's future was Autumn Games and Konami. Those were gonna be trouble from the start, if later events were any indicator.

They’ve said multiple times that skullgirls is finished, haven’t they? And honestly there’s something to be said for not having too huge of a roster. 14 isn’t too intimidating to noobies.

Some of that time was spent on SG DLC and Indivisible is supposed to be out this year. I’ll give them benefit of the doubt unless it gets pushed back again without a specific date.

How do I make a fighting game like this, Yea Forums? All I can do is draw.

I think the fact that he cares about gameplay the most is the problem with there budgeting and execution in development. Basically what happens when you wish you do really big things with barely any grasps on the reality on what those big things would need. He came up will all those playstyles for the indiegogo character vote right? Didn't almost all of those planned character ideas seem way too big to chew?

Find coders and musicians and be the art director

The only voted character with the crazy gameplay concept was Eliza. Yeah, he tend to overshoot it, but seeing his dev streams, he's really flexible and doesn't mind to scale back on stuff if it can't be done. I don't think there were any budget issues at all considering the fact they shat out two extra characters that weren't in the indiegogo campaign anyway.

>coders
Programmers, son. Programmers

I want to ejaculate my entire sperm count inside Cerebella. That's what I think.

Fuck off.

fuck off dad, it's 1 am and i'm tired, i promise i'll say programmers next time.

Play fighting games until you're good, or at least okay but have a strong understanding of their systems
Come up with character concepts, not just visual designs but moves, places they can display their personality through animation during gameplay, strengths and weaknesses etc. Do a couple test animations to get an idea of how much work a full character worth of art actually is.
Come up with a basic concept for the fighting system, is it anime or grounded, what unique gimmicks have you got, which characters fill what roles, basically what besides your art will make people want to play the game.
Put it together in a presentable format instead of a mess of sketches and half finished ideas.
Get a bit of attention shopping them around in art circles, hope to attract a programmer. Maybe make a proof of concept in gamemaker or something, attract a couple other team members. Put together something that looks promising and unique enough to get some attention from normalfags, make a kickstarter, hope you get lucky with public interest.
It's really not feasible for a single person to make a project as complicated as a fighting game alone without massively skimping in one or more aspects.

Retarded question: Are there any sprite rips from this game yet? Been wondering for a while.

You can just get the Compendium that has all of the frames in it.

>Compendium
Going to sound like a total newfag/idiot but what is that? Never heard of it.

Think this is what he’s talking about but I dunno where nonbackers can get it.

>I dunno where nonbackers can get it.
A user in the wiki you linked mentioned a forum.
I could try googling but I doubt I'd get any wortwhile results.
