Skullgirls

Vanilla Skullgirls launched with 8 characters. 2nd Encore launched with 15.

MvC2 has 56.

You can't be the spiritual successor to MAHVALBABY! with a roster that's barely 1/4 the size. Even Marvel-fucking-Infinite had the courtesy to launch with 30 characters.

MvCI still sucked ass though

I mean, yeah. But still, tho.

It doesn't fucking matter because all fighting games do terrible unless they have some sort of huge IP attached to them, which equates to a flash in the pan, or are some sort of household name like MK or Smash.
Fighting is just a niche genre and most people have zero interest in it, nor will they ever have any.

This is why F2P fighting games need to be a thing. Aracade-era fighting games were popular because ease of access. Asking somebody to pay 60 bucks just so they can stay in training mode for two hours and then go get their ass kicked online for another three is too high as asking much.

Let 'em in for free and then let cosmetics and Esports pay for the rest.

all of that esports shit needs to fuck off
autist drama is way more fucking fun but it's so rare now because of normie crap that comes with esports

it would've done better if it was on EVO
but i guess mrPiss likes his 'core values' too much. what a fag, that guy

It would've done better if someone didn't have the brilliant idea of making a 3v3 fighting game with only 8 (14 total) characters on release.

Esports are the only thing keeping fighting games relevant. Big-budget fighting games can't sustain themselves by only appealing to the hardcore FGC.

F2P fighters don't last very long.

fuck esports
fuck new, soul-less cash grab games
fuck your relevancy
I want more autism being focused on mastering the good games we have now

t.didn't played the game

It's still one of the best looking if not THE best looking fighting game ever made in my opinion.

Join a Discord then, nigga. Your autistic passion won't keep the industry afloat.

FGC old heads are literally the least important demographic to keep in mind when developing a fighting game.

I did and it was inferior in every way to 3. Gameplay was alright but I still preferred 3's.

Being a MvC2 successor was a bad idea because that game was a buggy rush job. Skullgirls had an insane amount of thought and polish put into it, so shackling its gameplay to MvC2 mechanics was just silly. Sure, do a tag game, but did something else with it. You don't need to be Marvel 3 either, do your own thing; they kind of did, but not enough.

Lol

Xrd, Skullgirls, and DBFZ are the prettiest in the genre. SamSho is looking pretty nice too, and Punch Planet has a nice look.

Skullgirls would have been better if it was a beat-em-up with motion comic cutscenes

Punch Planet has silk smooth animation, but that's all it has going for it looks wise. Almost none of its characters are aesthetically pleasing or that interesting to look at.

>MvC2 successor
>has no action at superjump heights and barely any fliers
Pick one

The grappler Amazon makes my pp the large pp

>none of its characters are aesthetically pleasing
i dunno, just took a look at it and so far i like the off-brand daughter of Ellen Ripley and Rambo.

That fighting game you get banned for posting about on Yea Forums is literally 1v1 Skullgirls. Fuck the mods.

What game?

None did.

>That fighting game you get banned for posting about
the game with the horses and other four-legged fighters?
>literally 1v1 Skullgirls
does it have the Wulf?

It would have done better if there was more porn.
Way way more porn.

She's more Ralf than Rambo, honestly.

The grappler is a cow, but there's a sheep that summons dogs and wolves.

By western fighting game standards, there's an ridiculously high amount already.

It would've done ok if it wasn't some shitty fighting game.

So when are we posting the porn?

It would be better if it at least had 20 characters

>SamSho is looking pretty nice too

It would have done better if it wasn't designed for the most autistic sliver of a genre that was just about to be driven into the ground again and if it had more than 6 characters at launch

Not till Thursday

>purists on /gluefactory/ sperg out since it's not real enough

The cow isn't really a grappler, she doesn't even have a real command grab. She's more of just a really well rounded grounded rushdown character who also has a longer version of Raven's scoops.
The llama is the more traditional grappler character that likes to knock you down then make you guess between a low and a command grab, but she's not focused on it so much as she's got every close range mixup tool you can give a character and that includes a command grab, but it's not the focus of her kit either.

Yeah hyper fighting-games can really only sustain their playerbase with a large ip attached to them. Unironically skullgirls would've done WAY better if it was a more slower paced game.

How are either of those games F2P?

Imagine if Mike Z wasn't up his own ass and made a spiritual successor to SF3 instead of what we got

Skullgirls should've been a beat em up. Fighters are on permanent life support.

They had F2P games that failed miserably

Pom a best

Those games were mobile trash, weren't they?

That's not Oleander or Paprika.

No

>implying some limp, lefty canuck chink could make anything approaching SF3

Indivisible will kinda sorta be that.

There's Yatagarasu. But, yeah it doesn't have the gorgeous sprites SG has.

it would be even more dead as a beatemup

that's cool. i'm not into ponies but i can appreciate a cowgirl grappler

>both were PS3
Ah, my mistake

If you hate winning, sure

I think F2P fighters could work but most fuck it up.

The only characters besides Peacock I care about are DLC though

Tfw there are like 20+ character concepts that didn't make It in

then get them dlc's, what are you waiting for?

Mate. 2 solo peacock players got into top 24 at the last major tournament.
>Mike had to fight both of them back to back and lost
>if he had lost the first fight there would have been a peacock mirror on stage

>People were legitimately actually mad that based Beowulf got in over the fucking fish waitress

It's a fucking tragedy

I like Beowulf but I like fighters that can't actually "fight" too

Nah, the hp pool on solo makes the game incredible boring

>ywn use your KO'd teammates as weapons to fight the enemy team

if i knew how to code and draw i'd make mods for more characters. the concepts are just too ool to be forgotten
>one-character tag fighter in the musician man and his violin girl
>big girl that uses dead people as resources is the best character to save for last
>time traveler who pulls punches from the future
>all the rest of the story mode cast all with their own gimmicks but without the ASW-brand "everyone has their own meter" shit
i hope indivisible makes them enough money to buy the skullgirls rights back from autumn and whoever else so they could make a sequel

It will never not baffle me how retarded one could be to fuck up getting a character they made into the game.

That wasn't because they were F2P, tho. It's because they were both trash.

Tekken Revolution is legit the worst Tekken ever put out on a console. Not only is it just a shittier version of Tag Tournament 2, it added some faggy RPG mechanics. It didn't even launch with multiplayer. But at least it eventually got one, unlike Soulcalibur: Lost Swords which was just a stripped down version of SCV with no Just Guarding, counter hitting, or the ability to Ring Out someone. Also, you had to grind/pay up for your characters to not look like slags.

He was pretty retarded

>skullgirls thread on a Tuesday

blasphemy

I know. They just need to make a better game overall. F2P isn't a bad idea.
