This game is seriously looking loving awesome. I can't even imagine how much time it must have taken to do all the sprites for these characters.

Single character teams still look really bad. I don't get why a single character takes red damage either unless there's some health recovery mechanic I'm not aware of.

There isn't a recovery mechanic, single characters take red life just because everyone takes red life.

Some single characters are better than others. Cerebella does well against a lot of teams just because one 720 or one good combo and that's basically 100%. Parasoul does pretty well on her own as well just because she has good screen control, and unlike Peacock she has good "get-off-me" by herself. Peacock and Filia solo is pretty rough just because Peacock can't get people off her, and Filia doesn't have any way to make herself safe if the opponent blocks.

E: there's no baroque mechanic or anything either. As of now red health is non-functional for single characters. There's been talk of some kind of single-character alpha counter that spends red life, or a life recovery mechanic like darkstalkers, but so far they don't need it so nothing's been implemented on that front.
Clearly this is all code for "X-Factor will be introduced shortly." You don't fool me, Chilldog (if that's even your REAL name).

I will say this about MK though, I'm impressed as hell with how balanced it seems like it's turned out to be. I think there were something like 7-8 different characters used during Evo top 8 this year, and there are other characters even beyond that that seem like they would be tournament viable.

I mean poo poo, someone almost made it to top 8 with Jax.

I put a second spring in my JLF and swapped out the gate for an octo-gate because I'm trying to replicate the feel of an American joystick. What is wrong with me :ohdear:

Speaking of SRK, why do the guys in what is basically their stick subforum :spergin: out when they see 8-button layouts?

Rokstar, I'm with you on trying that. American parts don't fit in a TE without extreme modification. I already have a bat-top for my TE's JLF, clearly this could be done easily.
Yeah, altogether it took me just under an hour, and that includes the time I spent learning how to do it and the time spent taking the spring out of my other JLF. So it's a really quick job if you know what you're doing.

I have some Seimitsu springs on order too, so I'll probably play around with those next. :awesome:

Yeah so I'm probably gonna go back to the square gate because the octo gate is loving me up but I'm going to keep the springs the way they are. You guys can rest easy now that I have given you this update. :)

Going back to American stickchat, what are the main differences between a Perfect 360 and a Competition/Eurojoystick? I'm assuming they're virtually nothing alike since their mechanisms are completely different, but is the P360 better enough to justify the much higher price tag (or, for that matter, is it better at all?)

You would think it would be easy to find this sort of thing on Google, but either I'm retarded at googling or it's just not out there.

No, because most fighting games do not have a ruleset much longer than 'play 2/3 matches on default settings, dont pause poo poo or use turbo on your controllers'.

Conventional FGs usually only ban unlockable bosses (Omega Rugal, Akuma, Gill), who are blatantly not meant for competitive play. I can't really think of a conventional fighter where a main roster character has been banned.

I noticed in one of the newer Parasoul videos that she doesn't wear her underwear on the outside of her pants in her blue color now. :allears:

And this has nothing to do with Skullgirls, but has anyone heard anything about when they expect to be able to start making the dual-modded Hitboxes? I put my name on the waiting list forever ago but haven't ever seen or heard anything about it.

Anime games are the best about that poo poo. In Arcana Heart 3 there's that one witch with the animated staff that has moves where you have to do crazy poo poo like 837918 within a window of 10 frames or something ridiculous like that.

Okay here's my first question, why steampunk? You're a goon, you had to know what kind of reaction you were going to get.

e: I'm sort of holding any criticisms until I see game footage though, what's the ballpark on when we'll see some of that?
