Would more characters help?

It's ogre.

...

Only one sound comes to mind when you look at this image.

It had nothing unique about it except the artstyle, which was actually pretty good until there were 6 characters launching attacks across the screen.
Any fighter with assists playing that heavy a role would just be lost against the backdrop of MvC. People flock to the most popular one.

I would like to see a larger roster upon release, and a lot less characters with zoning abilities and fireball spam. At least DBFZ has a fucklong cooldown between assists compared to other similar fighters.

Happy Thursday

>implying anyone plays this garbage
I just like the waifus lol

...

Not be a Marvel 2 clone.

Try starting the thread later. It will be more active in the evening.

make it an AAA game with the latest realistic graphics

Did you guys have a good Valentines Day?

We all know what's going on here so let's get it over with

You need to turn down the fanservice. No, shut up. Don't even bother starting with SJW shit, because no one gives a fuck about the latest Japanese panty fighter either except for ironic weebs. If there's too much fanservice, no one will take the game seriously. You know it to be true, name a single fanservicey panty fighter that people take seriously. I'd recommend adding more guys to the roster to make it 50/50 male and female, to start with.

I was alone and just stayed home playing vidya. How about you user?

>Marielle is a SJW
what happen?

...

Will she get fatter tho?

Would be vastly improved with a parry system like in third strike.
>it's a 'parasoul shoots napalm fucking everywhere' episode

>to sustain a better tournament scene than the first game?
Just sell more, so a bigger marketing campaign.

...

>Turn down the fanservice

If you didnt want to be taken seriously, you could've just asked.

OINK!

The rhythmic thrusting of my hips against hers?

wtf I wanna fuck pigs now

Different devs that aren't shitty SJWs this time.

When will Filia get expanded horizontally in a patch?

moe

...

glad this dumbass meme game is dead, shitty mahvel game played exclusively by neckbeards that jerk off to it, play a real game you fucking scrubs

I'm still miffed as to why people insist on getting their fat posts here instead of /vg/.

I dunno if I agree. In fact I don't think the fanserivce is that distracting desu. Due to the fast pace and constant moving, and it not being so bad that it will focus strictly on it (unlike panty fighters), I think that it's fine. Also, the name of the game is Skullgirls. Making the roster 50/50 would be a bit dumb when keeping the name in mind. I do think more males need to be added though.

mad?

Because /vg/ will have some fucking autist roleplaying some character getting off to gaining weight

I think you might be the slightest bit upset. Thanks for the bump, though

This elf is so fucking dumpy and retarded looking I don't understand how anyone can find her attractive. It's like the artist goes out of his way to make her look like an overgrown fat kid.

More memes of course.

>some fucking autist roleplaying some character getting off to gaining weight
I want that, honestly

Hey, come now user. People can have their own tastes too. Don't be upset.

She's soft

Just went on her Twitter. She seems pretty normal. Unless she said one left leaning thing and Sup Forums exploded.

>lol u mad
>literally no one actually defends their shitty titty marvel
maybe if you nerds actually played fighting games instead of jerking off to fat cartoons you'd know shit

But them you are implying anyone, especially on V, plays it. This thread is made every single week and people just dump porn of it here.

You don't deserve better than that to be honest.

Who are you quoting, my analpained user?

She looks soft-headed and her shitty fridge body isn't doing her any favors either. Shit genetics.

Its more like, everyone will dismiss the game out of hand because they assume its just an excuse for panty shots rather than being an actual game. Not to mention all the fanservice attracts undesirables who just want to waifupost loudly, why would you take the game seriously if that's all you see?

I would like to see Skullgirls 2 but I have a feeling it won't happen. The first one was successful enough sure, but even after that Indiegogo campaign it just never took off. Frankly there were always more fans of the art than the gameplay (including me).

Yes, more characters would help. And a story mode, I suspect. But I think that unfortunately, there just isn't enough interest there to really make it profitable.

why not? the current marvel game sucks anyway, so there's an unfilled niche

She's always had SJW tendencies. She's a woman and an artist.

I wonder what getting intimate with Filia would be like with Samson always being third wheel.

They were supposed to seriously defend their game from the guy that said
>glad this dumbass meme game is dead, shitty mahvel game played exclusively by neckbeards that jerk off to it, play a real game you fucking scrubs
...Seriously? At least don't be so sensitive you queer.

>the phone game is one of Skullgirls IP holder's interest gauge
fuck this
they didn't even optimize it so every phone can play it; only new phones

>You know it to be true, name a single fanservicey panty fighter that people take seriously.
Street Fighter V

I don't think that's necessary, every sfv girl is lewd as fuck except Sakura. They just needed some male characters at launch and to not have 'girls' in the name, because that makes it seem like the main focus is the boobs instead of a bonus.

Having said that, whether it's necessary or not a Skullgirls 2 will absolutely be toned down; every Lab Zero employee not named Ahad or Mariel is incredibly embarassed by the look of SG and will make sure the TnA is toned down by 90%. I'd wager Valentine is the only one who will be left alone.

I don't know, user. Even games like Dead or Alive were played despite the blatant fanservice. The problem with DoA is that the mechanics are shit.

reminder

Honestly I really tried to like the game, I bought on release for PC tried to get into it but I just really couldn't. Ahit was way too hard to learn and beffective with one character, let alone 2 or 3. I've tried multiple times to get into it but it felt like too much work for way too little enjoyment. I even played 200 straight matches in a couple of days to see if I could at least learn or understand the game and how to deal with some situations, played the same guys for a long while but in the end I just couldn't learn much about the game. I even did the tutorial twice and finished the campaign before going online.

I've been in countless fighting game threads and a lot of people who says that played the game have gone to a similar experience. I guess people just don't really like it for whatever reason and go back to play whatever other fighting game they were previously playing.

Let's be honest, DoA's main draw was the girls and that was the major reason anyone bothered with the fighting games. Its also why DOAX3 is doing so well. Why bother with the fighting game aspect when you can skip straight to the girls?

Street Fighter isn't exactly seen as a panty fighter, although it does have its fair share of panty flashing. I guess the difference is that it feels like SF is putting itself out as a fighting game first and foremost and having fanservice is a bonus. Meanwhile Skullgirls feels like the fighting game part is just a method of delivering fanservice, the real reason it exists. Regardless of whether or not that's true, you can't deny that's how people view it and other games like Arcana Heart.

>Filia and you are having sex upstairs
>Suddenly Samson complains of hunger, and shoots out a hair-tentacle all the way to the fridge downstairs
>Filia screams and yells Samson's name as she's dragged across the floor butt-naked with you not far behind
>Samson gorges on food in the fridge, and Filia reluctantly asks to continue, praying that a stuffed belly won't interfere with intercourse
Something like that, probably

stop being poor

Although very impressive it also shows why people will never get into skullgirls.

>Why bother with the fighting game aspect when you can skip straight to the girls?
Because some people like playing as Ryu Hayabusa, let's be honest.

>Street Fighter isn't exactly seen as a panty fighter
Not as a whole, no but SFV definitely raised the fanservice level from the very first reveal.
>I guess the difference is that it feels like SF is putting itself out as a fighting game first and foremost and having fanservice is a bonus
Well that perception really is everything. When Skullgirls was first being peddled the artstyle was very different and not nearly as overtly sexual but it looked like shit. It really feels like as the game became more aesthetically pleasing the gameplay also improved.

The problem really has to do with its launch not having enough characters and combos feeling too long with no defensive options. Character balance was also out of whack for it the low roster they had.

>he isn't good at his waifu's game
pathetic

I want to break Eliza's dom attitude into submission!

sauce?

Run a kickstarter to get the funds so they can pay off Mr. Wizard and get into EVO

What does it taste like?

Good luck restraining her when she can move around as a pool of blood while her skeleton slices you up

God fucking damn it OP, you know why you made this thread

Why the fuck does it have to be like this? Am I the only one here that legitimately likes Skullgirls as a video game and not fap fodder?
please tell me I’m not and we could maybe play a round

This is the best viewing angle.

>That's a brap!!

I like it as a fighting game too, but I'm at work so I can't play. Like, my favourite character is Double and she's not exactly there for fapping. I think she's a cool monster character with an undefined playstyle that makes her fun to play as. My only complaint would be that she needs more moves in her monster form.

While the artist has done porn and sexy pinups/ecchi, I'm pretty sure that elf is from a gag comic he's doing that is only meant to be a little sexy, and not from her specifically.

a slut

I main Big Band and play Beowulf for fun, so I'm pretty much entirely separated between gameplay and fapping, but let me tell you I fap to Skullgirls a lot more than I play it, especially these days.

The game has its issues, particularly in regards to combos either lasting forever (and I usually roll my eyes when people say that about a game, they are long in SG) or ending immediately into a nasty reset situation. It took inspiration from Marvel in mechanics and did great things with them, but they went too hard on making it PLAY like Marvel 2 which was kind of a busted game. If it played like a slower, more grounded anime game but kept the Ratio-style Tag Fighter with Custom Assists angle it would've been a lot better.

It's a shame that the only other fighter to use the fantastic Skullgirls engine is a game that seems to not have a board to discuss it, since any threads about seem to be getting volleyed between Sup Forums, /mlp/, and /trash/ just because it had its roots in a fangame.

Oh and since it's Thursday here's a thick fighting game girl.

>HDD with my pigs died on it
>Went through pixiv and deviantart to look for slightly-decent ones
>They're all gone now

i hate my life happy thursday

.....THAT game is based off the Skullgirls engine? Shit, it might actually be worth trying them?

Yeah, Lab Zero basically just gave them the engine, which was one of the selling points for their Indiegogo, along with people who worked on the show it was originally a fangame of providing some original art/designs.

The effects are basically identical to Skullgirls, including super flashes, hitsparks, and the notation of buttons in training mode (it even shows a 6-button stick layout despite the game only having 4 buttons). The game itself looks nice even if it's launching with only 6 characters; each has very good animation and a unique playstyle. I like the grappler cow and the sheep that summons dog strikers.

Buddy maybe you should pick up UNIST

I've played it and like Waldstein but I'm balls deep in FighterZ right now. I realize that that's a really fast game, but it feels more like a refinement on Marvel 3's mechanics slapped onto Persona Arena than a weird Marvel 2 rip with re-stands and a ratio system.

I'm also interested in playing SNK Heroines when it comes out, provided there's at least 2 characters I want to play as. As a big body player I'm just kind of hoping for a couple of miracles there since the systems seem like fun.

What is the other game?

what's filia's favorite flavor of pepsi

vanilla

Dem's Fightin' Herds

We honestly can't tell you because Sup Forums is a piece of shit and this entire thread will probably end up being even more worse than it is now.

>Dem's Fightin' Herds
What how?

Them's Fighting Herds. It's an indie fighter where the cast is all quadrupeds. It's a neat idea and the Skullgirls engine helps it run and look very good, while the roster itself has a bunch of neat ideas despite being small. There's also a VERY in-depth dynamic music system, that takes the stage's base theme and changes the instrumentation and arrangement based on which character has the advantage in a particular round.

I think it's because of the competition. I have the game, but injustice 2 is so much more fun. Maybe turn down fan service as well. It's kinda hard for me to play with someone/introduce it without being judged. And make marie playable

Against all expectations Sup Forums is typically fine with discussing it, it's just the mods going out of their way to make their own jobs more difficult for no reason or benefit to anyone ever.

Oh nevermind I thought you were joking, but it's apparently a real game.

pork

Do you have anything to back that up? (Proofs?)

This thread needs more best girl

What's the story? Why couldn't you talk about it here?

Its basically MLP, the fighting game. I'm uh.... being serious, user. The chances of discussing this turning into a shitfest are pretty high in my opinion.

>Character bio has Milkshakes a part of the thing she likes
She'd probably love Pepsi Cherry Vanilla floats.

why does she have a mangekyou sharingan ?

The game was originally a fanmade My Little Pony fighting game that eventually got enough buzz to catch EVO's attention, but also Hasbro's, which resulted in a cease-a-desist, after which the game was retooled with original characters.

The mod staff has declared the game persona non grata under Global Rule 15, despite no longer having anything to do with MLP.

It used to be a fangame for /mlp/-related material. Then Hasbro C&D'd it to death, but the team decided they'd just make an original game, and got the support of Lab Zero AND people from the creative team on the show the fan game was based on; Lauren Faust (wife of Craig McCracken who created Dexter's Lab/Powerpuff Girls/Foster's Home/Wander Over Yonder) who was in charge of the show for its first couple seasons even did some character designs for them.

Its roots lead to mods putting discussion of it on /mlp/ even though it had no direct in-game connection anymore (outside of the new characters retaining playstyles they designed for the fangame), but /mlp/ didn't give a shit and let threads about it die.

I know, I looked it up and while I don't see myself playing it I can't imagine a reason why mods would ban threads about it.

Oh, why is /mlp/ even separate board. Heh, I guess I'm too old for Sup Forums shenanigans.
