Wish these guys well desu, think they lost a lot of interest after the C&D, especially combined with the sheer time it's been since Fighting is Magic was a relatively big thing.

Not sure how well this will really do honestly. Animations do look quite nice, a lot of the moves seem like they're very similar to their initial Fighting is Magic from what little I can see.

Kind of crazy the entire turn this took. Should have kept it lowkey. Are they selling this on Steam?

This going to have mods?

>>29553765
Its funny because i am more interested now that they are new characters, its like a parallel universe

There's a modding tool for Skullgirls apparently, it'll probably work for this game too.
http://skullgirls.com/forums/index.php?threads/modding-tool-skullmod.1294/
It seems pretty limited though, basically just asset changes like textures and things.

>>29553853
With how similar they kept the moves, I thought they were kind of itching for someone to Pony it up since they can't.
Suppose they can't though. I quite enjoyed Fighting is Magic honestly. It's a fun enough game and even though the Tribute Edition wasn't the proper release by the main devs, I really had fun with it. Still go back every now and again

>>29553880
You never know, maybe someone will figure it out, or maybe one of the devs "accidentally" fiddled with the engine a bit to make it possible
At the very least, I'm sure there will be pony palettes

I like the look of these stages honestly

This music system sounds kickass honestly
Are they doing it for every stage? Surely that will take a piss long amount of time. Differences in stage themes for all the six characters?

I'm kind of scared that I won't find opponents on my skill level, since it's not clear how good this game will sell.
because I have no idea about fighting games

Fucking RC88 still has it in him after all these years.

This sounds amazing!

>>29554119
Practice with FiM

holy shit this music is like rc88 is fucking my ears out please god

Man, I wasn't sure how well this dynamic music thing was going to work, but this is pretty cool.
I was worried it was going to turn out to be
>Tien comboing, tiens theme plays
>Velvet comboing, velvet's theme plays
And just end up jarring. Doesn't seem like its going to though, those blends were pretty smooth and the stage theme being a common thread helps a lot.
I'm getting excited now.
RC88 is good as his job, damn. Even without the character themes in it Tien's stage theme is sick, and I can imagine its going to be even better with her character theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USBUKJKNjl8 mixed in when she's going ham.

>>29554142
How does it work?
Is it Stage Music that plays which gets flavours of whichever character's winning in the tune?
Or is it Character music that plays which gets flavours of other character if they're winning?

Either way, isn't that sort of like 6 different versions of each song?

Used to be still am desu subbed to RC88 just for his 8 bit stuff. Didn't realise he was doing this stuff.

>>29554166
From what they were describing, the main track in the fight is going to be the stage theme, and its going to be modified to sound more like the character theme of whoever is winning, or maybe who has the momentum at the time.
The actual music theory behind it is probably complicated as fuck and I don't know shit about it, but it sounded like each character has an instrument or two that is associated with them, so if Tian is in the lead there will be more electric guitars and probably those chinese pipes from her character theme, and they will be used on top of the stage track, maybe removing some of the elements from it to make it sound more like the aggressive character theme.

The demo we got wasn't a very good representation, they just showed "this is when Tian has a life lead, this is when Velvet has a life lead" rather than a real situation in a fight, and obviously its still in the really early stages and could change a lot, but it seems really fucking cool.

Good stream
First real showing of the music system, which is looking incredible.
About half the cast mostly finished, a decent amount of work done on the others
A nice overview of the basics for new people
Enough real fights between most of the characters
Just a taste of background work
The first real discussion about voiceactors

8.5/10, nothing really about story mode brought it down a bit, no Oleander stage, and still a lot of unfinished animations but that's to be expected.
Really looking forward to the next couple, when the game should be coming into its final shape, and they'll get around to the last art pass and adding stuff like Level 3 supers.

Stream was awesome. Had everything I've been bitching for, we finally had some tester matches again, the dynamic music system was showcased and the new stage themes sound amazing, also between the changed moves and the added sounds and stages there was enough new stuff so that I'm not left with the impression the devs are lazy shits for a change.

It is kind of scary to see just how much unpolished/unfinished/place holder stuff there still is when you look at the planned release date (Filia's air throw, ouch). I would hate a delay but I'd hate even more if they settled for mediocrity and just released the game half finished...

>>29556795
The animation stuff being unfinished isn't as big a deal as it seems, I think.
I forget who it was now, but he said he was going to get the air-throw animations done in a day except for the fire or whatever.
Now that they've got all their tools set up animation is relatively quick, and they've been planning for a final animation/art pass for the whole process so I imagine they've got time budgeted for that.

What I'd be worried about is the story/lobby stuff, since it sounds like they're still kind of figuring out how all of that is going to actually work, and if any of the core gameplay stuff takes longer than they expect they'll have to cut corners in the less essential areas.

>>29556852
>Nappy's house caught on fire
if shit like that happens, then a delayed launch should be no surprise

>>29556852

>>29558131
>Fillia was in there because it was a fairly recent addition to the game.

I get that's it's not much different from the cardboard cutout placeholder sprites, it just looks... demotivating? The game is supposed to be out in april! So the beta is supposed to be out in march, and march is next week... and when the testers start up the game you still see the skullgirls character select screen, hear the skullgirls sounds, and now when you throw in the air filia pops up. It's a stark reminder of how unfinished the game still is...

Nevermind that a revelation like "okay the airunblockables were too strong so we took them out so now everyone holds up+back like crazy so we need airthrows" really feel like the kind of decisions that should have been made a while ago too, that has big gameplay ramifications, it's actually kind of a big thing to be added this late.

>>29558285
Holy shit is that true? They didn't think they'd need air grabs and had unblockable airs instead? What the hell were they thinking

You sound like they are going to release the beta next week and not pull an SFV and release it on March 31 around 22:50 or something like it.

About said decisions, I felt the same about Velvet's magic system not being worked out until recently. I mentioned back then that a part of me felt like they spend a lot of time trying to make the system work as they intended but another part of me felt like they took over a year to address a concern that was presented to them during the crowdfund campaign.

>>29558347
I mean, that's a totally valid way of handling excessive chicken blocking too. Just making it a split second decision is kind of weird when you'd think it's something that's set in stone, written onto some design document as a basis for designing the rest of the game before they work on anything else.

>>29558419
By the way can I just say that last thread, based on the change for Velvet's meter I guessed out of my ass that velvet's 623d groundspike is now an invincible reversal and now this totally is a thing that happened. Can I just say that. Cause I'm kind of proud of that.

Forgot to mention, the best advertising they might have are the Super Best Friends who have shown plenty of interest for this game. James Chen might give it a shoutout since he promotes everything and JWong might be willing to try it to see if he can get close to little girls like with Pokken.

On the other hand, Maximillian doesn't give a shit about the game but one of his friends might force him to play it like they did with Fighting is Magic.

>>29574295
With Sonicfox involved they've got a free in to the fgc at least. That's not how your game gets huge, but its a good start, and can lead to more attention through side tourneys at bigger events and such.

With this kind of game I think advertising money is mostly wasted anyway. You'll never spend enough to guarantee success like the AAA games can, and fighting games are niche enough that you have to use really targeted advertising since the average person won't be interested no matter how good the game actually is. Instead of buying an ad on a fighting game site, its more efficient to just get people talking about it, and indie fighters are rare enough that it shouldn't be too hard.

Although now that I think of it, an ad on /v/ might actually be a good idea. I don't know how much they are, but none of the big companies want to touch 4chan so its probably surprisingly reasonable, and 1 ad on /v/ basically guarantees a dozen threads arguing about whether or not the game is pony or not, people laughing at barneyfag, and being surprised about how good the game is, getting other people to try it.

problem is, this game cant be shilled in v or vg general fighting threads due to the rules. so low exposure. hopefully the game is cheap for more word of mouth

I don't think putting the game in a negative light is the best method of getting people interested. But I could be wrong, this is 4chan of all places. Meme magic is a thing.

Can't be discussed on /v/ or /vg/ and they haven't done any compact update videos that are easily digestible by laymen to spread on leddit, youtube and twitter as opposed to the multiple hour long livestreams now.

Not the best feeling about the prospects of the game sales wise.

So
Who's best girl?
I nominate Oleander

>>29578732
GO ARIZONA! GO!

>>29578732
The crazy happy one.

>>29578732
Its looking like either Oleander or Tianhuo, but I'll have to see how they act in the story mode to say for certain. Oleander is in the lead now, but I'm a little worried she is going to lose something great when they get around to replacing her idle, and Tian is only going to get better with more animation work.

>>29578732

>>29578732
I dont know why but after reading the lore I just got a crush with the edgy unicorn, I dont even like horses that much but Lauren and her fucking dark magic bullshit caught me off guard, I think Oleander is like a rebel teenager who just needs a good dick to calm her down
I feel stupid

>>29585996
I can see that. It was kind of a cool story. So was Paprika's, they were pretty imaginative in contextualizing her lolrandumb personality. Meanwhile cool characters like smugdeer get boring ass ones.

>>29585996
Don't get too attach to her just yet. Lauren said she's planning on doing a rewrite on the lores.

>>29586842
Got a source on that? I never knew.

So I was wondering.

How many of the people in here are excited for the game, but did not pledge for the crowdfund? If you did pledge for the crowdfund, how much was it? Anyone with a custom content tier? Did you get the party hat or toot referral bonus?

>>29586905
I pledged just the 15 bucks to get the game. And in retrospect hate that I didn't get the beta tier, oh well.

I did get one of the referral things but really just because a buddy was going to pledge anyway.

>>29586905
40$, because I like betas. No referrals or anything, kind of wish I had shilled a referral link around or something, but whatever.

>>29586905
I'm one of those who only could cheer the game in spirit.
Wished at least o had a few bucks to spare, but i didn't had a job and living in a 3rd world country doesn't makes things easier

>>29586905
Gonna pirate it when it gets a DRM-free edition, or buy it on Humble Bundle for $0.02

>>29586884
I think it was somewhere in this stream.
https://youtu.be/Ma_MTG5sXxU

>>29587796
Not that there wouldn't be a thousand good reasons to not pay money for this, but don't you fear you're gimping your experience with the game if you pirate / wait till it's on the bargain bin? It is a multiplayer title first and foremost, after all... I feel like I'm missing out big time just because I can't be in the beta.

>>29586905
I'm a fuckin' pauper here, so I just went about being a fan. If I had the cash I would have bought the soundtrack tier because I like music a bunch.

>>29589357

>but don't you fear you're gimping your experience with the game if you pirate / wait till it's on the bargain bin?

It just a game with six character, not a fandom or a god tier game that would create a whole new fandom, isn't a big deal.

>>29589807
No matter how big the community turns out to be long term, a fighting game is never as fun as it is shortly after release. When all the new people jump into the action and you figure out stuff piece by piece alongside others and even the experienced turbo autists are still figuring out stuff and don't seem to be terribly out of reach yet. So every time you press the quick-match button you find a match within seconds and it's someone who's got roundabout your level of skill.

Couple months down the line all the fresh blood has jumped ship and if you play online, you better got your combos down to a T and know all the meta tactics cause else you're getting destroyed.

>>29590148

you only get good after reaching level 100, and yet it's still very low somehow

>>29587796
>>29589807
>isn't a big deal

So you only play videogames online if the game has a huge """fandom"""?

>>29590741
>lvl 100
What the fuck are you talking about?

>>29590922
most of gaming online goes from crazy griding to almost just leave the game
when you aren't one of the first people, even then it's almost impossible to have a good time without getting your ass handed to you

>>29590990
You sound like a bit of a chronic shitter. When you jump in and play your first couple of games, you get your ass kicked. Then you put hours into a game and gradually become better... no matter the genre. If you feel like all the people in all the games you play are just always better than you that just means you could never really be assed to take the time and really become proficient at a game yourself, cause there's no magic involved, people don't all just have amazing talent or whatever, just more drive than you.

I implore you to try and get into tfh a little. Cause I guarantee you there are a whooole host of people with little fighting game experience who are gonna play this, and they start as zero just like you and being this defeatist before the game is even out is just super unnecessary.

>>29591216
i became a little of a chronic shitter because even after training and griding in solo sessions at the max difficulty, there's more crazy people out there i can barely reach.
i don't know how can break those limits, but i respect and fear them at the same time
and yeah, i'll going to try to get into tfh. i didn't had a good fighting game in years since the snes era
the reason is because it's kind of hard to get enough dollars to buy one, and most of the time they get stale because i have no one to play them

Can somebody make a short clip with updares?

>>29591785
I don't know how that would work
What are the most relevant aspects you want to show?

>>29592170
Some short clip about the updates in general, like scenarios building, character changes and shits like that. Like a quick promo video of 4chan cup.

>>29592704
There is a thread with pretty in-depth recaps on the forums

>>29591268
You know what *does* help improving faster than anything else? Hopping online and fighting it out with others as much as you can. Training mode can only teach you so much, and especially when you don't have much ingame experience to fall back on, you won't even really know how to use it. Like you can learn some combos but you still won't know how to land them in real matches, and even if you get into the situation chances are you fumble and drop it. When I get a fighting game, I figure out my fastest move, my farthest reaching move, and at most a short and simple ABC combo / quick and easy way to combo into a super move to punish major fuckups halfway effectively. That's all you need to get started and twice as much homework as all the other newcomers will do. From then on its online-o'-clock, cause everything else you learn in real matches more effectively anyway and spending more time in training mode does nothing but protect your ego from the inevitable losses. Expect to lose half of your games for now, more than that if you're brand brand new, that's just how it is, there's no way around that. But if you cherish the wins and try and keep improving and figuring things out, it won't be long until you yourself become one of the oh-so scary online warriors giving newcomers a hard time...

Well it's that, or the streams where they update you in video form. If you're a backer you can check out the respective dev threads in the backer forum where they go over just about anything they later show in streams.

If you feel like you're being given a hard time keeping up to date with progress, you're... above average lazy

>>29594442

These videos are meant to be hype but everything you have to do is change the mood to a comfy simple explanation about the updates.
As you can see they are just simple montage, you can ask for suggestions, comments, subscribers and shares to your audience too.
Not everybody can catch up with long streamings, also this make things easy to some accidental /v/ thread.

the only fight we could show is arizona vs velvet, and even then i'm not so sure.
the lore was explained by faust, so we could make a "in a nutshell" version.
then we need animations, and we don't have a crew for that

"X years ago, predators and hervious lived together in turmoil. the predators ate and destroyed everything at their march, while the poor habitants of foenum wanted to live simple lifes.
One day, from the remote places, a [insert heroine that i don't remember right now] defeated and sealed away the predators forever using her powerful magic behind a gate that will be closed forever.
Using one of her horns, the Y created a key to kept locked the beast away. The years passed, and Foenum finally restored, begone to prospere.
One day, the spell from the old Y became weak, and the doors that sealed the predators opened. They came out not to destroy, but to warn them, the [insert villain i can't remember because i need to sleep] will come soon, and with his hunger devour all inhabitant that cross his path.
Foenum listened, and now the faith of the entire world will fall in the hooves of the champion, choosen by the six champions of the greatest six nations of Foenum

That doesn't sound like a selling point to me

>>29600362
For fighting games it basically is, particularly with a smaller roster like this one. Its free if you crowdfunded the game, and the /v/ shitpost of "you don't have to buy it" is actually mostly true since generally you'll spend all your time on 3 or so characters at most anyway, and it isn't going to be content cut from the base game.

And at least its not Them's Fightin' Herds: Balance Patch and Two New Characters Edition for full price with no crossplay like some other fighting games.

>>29600398
I get that their dlc plan is shaping up to be as fair and pro consumer as can be, and yet, when a game launches with 6 characters and a 7th one has to be bought separately, that's going to feel iffy.

Well you can look at it this way, a lot of anons have shown concern about how finished the game will ship since we are pretty much a month away from the planned release date. How far do you think this game would be if they had another character to work with=

GOAT is a crowdfund reward and not a DLC that will be available a few days after launch. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't expect it til November or so.

i read the lore, and the heroine is reffered as "the profet", and the villain as "the devourer"
but the thing is, the prophet never had a form. it says she cames from the dessert around egypt to be precise, but the thing is i'm kind of sure that there isn't a being "long of leg, long of horn, and long of beard" in that area

The fact that the prophet lives there doesn't necessarily means she was born there.

Or could be a made up animal, we know the Devourer is one.

>>29604660
the devourer sounds more like a lion or a dragon.
maybe a giant dog at best
but i wish i could know what kind of animal was the prophet

>>29603237
In a game like BlazBlue, totally. 4 button fighters are, for a lack of better way to put it, not complex enough to scare me when I see people do crazy stuff.

A game like Skullgirls tho? It's like "wooow, you went to training mode and learned so much shit, good job", it's just not enticing at all to try and reach that level when you see the amount of shit you have to grind out, all the setups and combos and weird situational confirms using buttons you've never seen in your life...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFCzOeWRpPk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1UhoGJ2PwA

I'd imagine it's to do with the fact that Chinese traditional music makes great use of major/minor pentatonic scales, which should readily translate into other genres.
That or I'm peddling bullshit.

>>29622643
Pom is a given. Giving a character a ton of offensive options but low health / bad defensive options has never not been broken in any game.

Velvet, I don't see it. I think people overestimate her zoning power in a game where everyone has airdashes / floating / flying / divekicks / doublejumps / shorthops / superjumps / other moves which alter your air trajectory... Reliably keeping people out of your face will be tough. Her normal attacks also look stronger than they are, because pretty much every character seems to have normals which reach half a screen away. Meanwhile, if the tester matches are any indication, she will have kind of laughable damage.

>>29625320
Not to mention Velvet seems to have very little tools she can use to open opponents up. Everyone else has some variety of overhead attack (which combos into stuff), a couple of characters have command throws, having to make do with trametraps and regular throws in a fast paced setup heavy game like this is a pretty significant disadvantage.
