skullgirls being bad has nothing to do with it having sexy anime ladies (& the characters still make anime porn orgasm faces whenever you hit them so redrawing a couple sprites to not show panties or w/e doesn't really change this) and everything to do with all the mechanics being horrible & stupid marvel 2 style reset heavy focus in a game without marvel 2 mobility/assists/screen size is a horrible idea, there's nothing fun about having to guess when exactly filla is going to end this combo and throw you into a high/low/throw/crossup mixup again that all lead back into the same combo into the same reset the custom assist system is a huge joke because in order to "balance" the game they made most of the good moves incompatible with the system (IE you don't get a proper beam assist from peacock because you have to mash to shoot more than once) which means that every character has one, maybe two moves worth using as assists so the entire system might as well not exist anyway. I dont give a gently caress if mike Z pretends you can totally use jab assists to help set up tick throws, nobody ever uses that over stuff like flying rear end the well advertised IPS system is a mess, it lead into 30 second combos before they changed it but now the big feature of this game not limiting your combos with arbitrary rules is no longer true and you still get thrown into a blender of many 15 second combos so it didn't really change anything this last one is more opinion based but all of the characters suffer a similar problem with blazblue where they're overdesigned. Everything about their moves is so fine tuned to make them do one thing and do that one thing over and over that there isn't really any variety or tech to discover. This is probably because the devs are Actual Fighting Game Players and so they give them moves that whatever archetype is expected or "should" have but it makes everyone feel super linear and not unique compared to other fighting games. It also doesn't help that the developers are stupid as hell and do stuff like massively overhaul how a character plays/combos and tells the fanbase to deal with it and get ripped off by publishers so they can't make any money to finish their games darealkooky fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Mar 22, 2016 |

Fenn the Fool! posted:For what it's worth, Skullgirls tries to be both fanservice and a deconstruction of fanservice. Take Valentine, the sexy nurse; pretty blatant character design, but she purposely fights with everything that is unsettling, unnerving, and unsexy about medicine. Bone saws, body-bags, needles, and anesthesia, her level 3 super is literally just performing a surgery, but with spooky framing and sound effects. Body horror is also a central theme, as shown by Fillia, Eliza, Painwheel, Ms Fortune, and Double; even Big Band is actually a dude in an iron lung and Peacock is terrifying when you realize her eyes are actually empty sockets. At the end of the day the game still has way more fanservice in it than I'd like, but it has some really interesting character designs that have a whole lot more going on than Anime Tittays. no alex ahad just jerks off to stuff like this, sorry

bhsman posted:EDIT: ^^^I'd argue Eliza is played up a bit as a sex symbol up until the second you start using her moves Well, even beyond the whole "uses blood all the time to transform own body" and literally turning into a skeleton schticks, Eliza actually isn't that bad. Her outfit shows a bunch of skin with her not really having basically a short skirt and she shows cleavage, but most of the angles on her animations don't put her at typical fanservice-y angles. It really shows when you start comparing her to Bella and Valentine, and you see that Eliza barely tries to do much if anything like that. Well, aside from her taunt I guess if you could somehow ignore the spooky scary skeleton. darealkooky posted:(& the characters still make anime porn orgasm faces whenever you hit them so redrawing a couple sprites to not show panties or w/e doesn't really change this) Besides being dumb and wrong in your entire post, lol

God this loving thread... Does anybody play FANG? In SFV, not one of the other games everybody wants to talk about in the SFV thread. I need some matchup experience and only one person on my friend's list plays him, but not as his main. You don't have to be a good FANG, but knowing what to do is a plus.

I really wish Mika had a less ridiculous costume, because I love her moves and her style. Her alt is better but still not great. I just want her to wear something that a wrestler or fighter might actually wear. I wish every character had some street clothes options like Rashid.

Before the thread starts filling with more SG animations let me clarify the point since you didn't seem to get it: no, most hitstuns/grabstuns in the game are not porn faces, only a select few out of the like...hundreds? are like that. Most of them that you see all the time are just people reeling backwards like in vsav or w/e. If you want to try and cherry pick a bunch more, at least put them in SG thread where it (and this discussion) is relevant.

Mika, including her costumes, is the best thing about this game by some distance. Also, why is everyone on the internet losing their loving mind about Haunt's troll the other night? It was kinda awkward but people are acting like Capcom took a poo poo in their mouths or something.

It took a long time till I found anyone who shared Mika's dumb frills and there was certainly nobody with 3 ft long pigtails. I guess what I really want is to be able to play as Nadeshiko with Mika's moves. Her appearance just makes so much more sense. /sperg over

In Training posted:She wears more clothes than the average WWE wrestler male or female Yeah man, Mika's tits are staying in her brassiere with Muscle Spirit alone. EDIT: Mika's Alpha costume was not only closer to actual women's wrestler outfits, but modern women's wrestling outfits probably shouldn't be left as the standard, especially in terms of sexual exploitation. That said, I agree: Mika seems really fun to play but her outfit is a bit too ridiculous. Same with Laura: put her in an actual jiu-jitsu gi (or at least give her a sports bra, Jesus) and I'm 100% more interested in that character. bhsman fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Mar 22, 2016 |

Mika's outfit is a bunch of inch-wide vinyl straps that vacuum seal to her body before every match. Forget double-sided tape, theres gorilla glue keeping that thing on her.

I was really hoping Laura's second costume would be a gi but instead we got that retarded half-shirt and thong. Ah well, I'm sure a gi costume will come along eventually. I've seen a few streams with costume mods, so I'm sure there'll be some awesome (as well as some ridiculous and horrible) costumes readily available, even if only you can see them.

Oh hey Hobojim and any other Necalli players: in case you missed me sharing this awhile back, here is a very useful punish guide with Necalli that has a recommended punish for most moves against every character.darealkooky posted:the two outfits are identical except alpha mika has hearts on her chest and the string between her giant rear end cheeks is marginally bigger, probably because 1999 sprites can't properly show that thin of a line Nah, I mean even in the art her breasts and butt are covered up more (even if only marginally).
