Random question, who are the most and least played characters?

I can understand Robo being one of the least played, but what's the reason for Painwheel?

>>150357752
my money's on squigly, big band and eliza for most played

robo, peacock and painwheel for least

>>150360451
She's complicated and different. Nobody's putting in work to learn how the hell you're supposed to play her.

>>150360451
>>150360648
painwheel because of her unpopular aesthetic, harder inputs and complexity
peacock and robo because zoning isn't "cool"

>>150361113

That's saddening, but understandable.

Although, I though Squigly was one of the least used ones until the more recent tournaments/showings, but I haven't watched most of the more recent streams so I can't say too much about it.

>>150361113
I do wish they made her in-game sprite look cuter. One of the few characters that generally looks better in fan-art.

And can't you play Peacock without having to zone a lot? I haven't tried using her seriously yet, but I know she has a lot of zoning tools.

>>150361358
>big band

>>150361596
>i do wish they made her in-game spite look cuter

but that's not the point of her character, don't be a waifufag

>not zoning

Also Squigly's cool. Carol's hard af to play, at least for me, otherwise I'd give her another 5th shot. If Robo could play slightly better in disadvantage state, or had better assists or DHCs, she'd be played more but other characters just do some jobs of hers better without all the hassle.

>>150358618
>>150360648
there needs to be more EVA-01 painwheel players so I learning this wouldn't be so useless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYIM18ywObg

>>150361838
How are you supposed to pick a character to play then? Based on how high up they are on the tier list? How large their bust is?

I personally just picked her since I thought her moveset was cool, and she was different to play than any character I've played before.

>>150362224
I was just wondering if that was a viable option or not. I honestly only have seen a few times where a Peacock player did not attempt to zone at all, but that didn't last for that long either.

And yeah, Robo isn't very strong in that regard. Most of the times I've seen her used successfully were when someone was winning the round. Hard to come back with her alone.

>>150363506
No you dense faggola, you pick a character by playing each and every one of them for a little bit, then you choose who you want to really play based on who gave you the most enjoyment. At least that's how I do it

>>150364094
>>150363506
the best way to first try out big band is mashing all of his invincible reversals against people until you finally beat someone with it

>>150364481
The best way to first try out Fukua is to slam your dick in the general direction of the jHK button until you finally beat someone with it

>>150364831
>slammin jHK
>not using inev struggle

>>150364831
>j.hk with your dick
what kind of vicegrip do you have to bend your dick that way

>>150364094
And that's what I did, and then I decided with sticking with her for the reasons I previously stated.

My initial statement was that it would be nice if her sprite looked more visually appealing.

>>150368932
agreed. Some of the most interesting (and cringe inducing) frames in the game

>>150366118
Sprites like Painwheel's and Sekhmet are part of why I prefer Skullgirls' aesthetic over something like Arcana Heart or Vanguard Princess. Skullgirls just knows when to go full not-cute, in a "not even sorta trying to be cute" kinda way. It's closer to the Darkstalkers approach, which fits characters like Painwheel really well.

>>150372893
Painwheel is supposed to look more of a human than something else. The tattered garments that she's wearing barely even qualifies as "clothing".
In the case of Sekhmet, he's not a human, so as a creature, almost anything goes.

Just my opinion, so I really won't argue as to if her character design is good or not. I just personally don't like it as much as I wish I could have.

Also, I don't mind almost any of the character designs in Vampire Savior, as the humanoid characters aren't altered to the point where it could be distinguished as something else. And I haven't played Arcana Heart or Vanguard Princess before, so I can't comment on those.

>>150377137
You think she based some of Valleywheel from personal experience?
Some lines just sound so perfect.

>>150378456
I think Painwheel is very noticeably human. Moreso than other classic freak characters like Blanka/Voldo/Necro/etc.
She has a very normal body shape compared to the other Skullgirls characters, and mask/blades look noticeably augmented.
She doesn't look like a born freak. She even keeps her natural skin and hair color.

Physically, she honestly looks more human than Peacock does. Some people don't even know Peacock is human until they learn her backstory.
They just think she jumped out of the TV or something.

VSav-wise, I think of Painwheel as like a tiny Victor that kinda contorts like Zabel. Her body doesn't morph nearly as much as those two, but the goals in the animations are similar. Brutal, flashy, and sometimes unsettling, but not cute. Very appropriate for a rage-filled character wielding an unconventional weapon.

>>150381030
When her mouth contorts during her win screen, it does not, to me at least. For the "classic freak characters", those ones look more recognizable in terms of what they could be, rather than what they actually are/could actually be.

Yes, she does look more of human than Peacock, but to someone who hasn't played the game before, it'd be easier to assume that she could have jumped out of a TV because of the lore or whatever story-related things may have happened, rather than assume that she was/is actually human.

That's actually a decent comparison, albeit some of the cast can be described similarly (based off of their initial appearance, due to the theme of the game). If her mask was similar to that of Ileum's though, for example, it'd be easier to assume that she was/is a human from an initial glance. I honestly don't know how to describe Painwheel's one as, and in Ileum's case, I know what it is, so at least that can be associated with a human-like aspect, if you ignore the rest of her body, of course.

Instead of becoming defensive while posting offtopic waifus, you should project those emotions into something productive.

I recommend signing up for some Skullgirls online tournaments, start training for SG and KOF,
and then register for both games at CEOtaku this Fall.

Then you'll have better knowledge of both games, be better equipped for thoughtful gameplay discussion,
and improve your chances of winning a prize from the event,
You'll also make more friends that you can play with so you won't have to beg.

And since you're a big fan of Mike Z, you might even get to talk to him in person and ask him questions

There should be a big turnout there for Skullgirls as well, so it'd be very favorable to do well in both games. Most people there will probably be playing multiple games anyway, like last year.

Alex Ahad on Skullgirls' Artistic origins

http://skullgirls.com/2011/04/skullgirls-artistic-origins/

>First of all, let me introduce myself: my name is Alex Ahad, and I’m the Creative Director and Lead Artist on Skullgirls. I’m fairly new to the game development scene, and it’s a frankly a bit overwhelming to be given such a remarkable opportunity. I’ve worked for Gaia Online, Playdom and WayForward before coming to Reverge Labs, and before that I mostly did artwork for print, with contributions to Scott Pilgrim, Udon’s Tribute books, Girls of Gaming, and the small press comic anthology Lava Punch.

>I’m here to talk about my style’s many influences, but before I get into that…

>Some people think that I made the characters to pander to a fan service-craving audience. However, in my mind you can’t really please anyone but yourself, so I start there and figure there are bound to be people with similar tastes. So really I’m doing what I want, and people are welcome to come along for the ride if they’d like to. I’m not actively trying to imitate anime or draw an “amerimanga” style. Really, I just like certain western styles and eastern styles, and what you see is just the way I ended up mixing them.

>With that in mind, I draw from a wide variety of influences, including comics, television and games. I doubt I’ll ever reach the level of any of these guys, but their work is a huge inspiration for me.

(cont)

>>150415478
Fuckin nice

>>150415531
>The cinematic storytelling and compositions of Mike Mignola, the creator of Hellboy, really caught my eye back in college. He’s been a pretty big influence on what I like to see in monster designs, especially.

>>150415684
>The styles of Bruce Timm and Shane Glines, particularly in Batman: The Animated Series were a big influence for me. Plus, I love the art deco inspired aesthetic – it’s incredibly fitting for Batman, and was obviously a big inspiration for Skullgirls’ “Dark Deco” aesthetic.

>Studio Gainax has also been inspiring, especially their OAV series FLCL. Their pacing and style have an intensity that you rarely see anywhere else. In particular, Hiroyuki Imaishi is one of my favorite directors/artists. Ever since seeing his works I’ve always tried to capture a similar sense of energy and attitude.

>I’ve always been a big fan of classic Capcom games and sprites – they really know how to create style and give it that extra punch, which is pretty hard to find in modern fighting games. I draw particular inspiration from the Darkstalkers series and Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. I’m also a long-time fan of Nishimura Kinu, who did character design on pretty much every Capcom fighting game. Capcom’s artists are truly my heroes.

>George Kamitani and Vanillaware really influenced me, especially with their most recent offerings, Odin Sphere and Muramasa: The Demon Blade. Ever since I read about their company in a Play magazine interview, I was inspired to pursue a career in games. Their team is so small, but they are dedicated, talented, and stick to a very distinct style. I have the utmost respect for them.

>For similar reasons, I’m a huge fan of Daisuke Ishiwatari, creator of Guilty Gear, and Daisuke Amaya (Pixel), the lone creator of Cave Story.

>There you have it – basically, my style is a mix of all these influences, plus a few others. You’ll see a wider range of character designs in the near future, with a little something for everybody.

>Thank you for reading this – hope you enjoyed it and got a better sense of where I’m coming from, and didn’t find it too rambling!

>Check back next Monday for another post from the Skullgirls development team!

Nope. Eliza's actually featured in some of his older sketches. Alex had made most of the characters before the game even started production.

I think the newest character to gain importance (other than Robo/Fukua) was Stanley, who was just a random BG NPC before being given a real role. He was even meant to be killed during the attack on Lab 8.

That KI is the future of the FGC?

KI's numbers at EVO this year were actually pretty disappointing. I was surprised.

I honestly think SG would have fared better. It has an international scene, is on more accessible platforms
for the broader FGC, and probably would have gotten signups from of some of the Marvel crowd.

Too bad the EVO dream is over for anything that isn't from a major publisher though.
With Microsoft likely able to keep KI in the ring, and Smash safely secured,
new games like KOF14 will basically be competing for Marvel's spot next year.

And all it'll take is Riot to finally announce Rising Thunder's successor this year
to guarantee all of those games get booted to side-tourney status.

Then I jokingly reference his shitposts once and poke fun at him and bam, I'm the one who gets hit. Didn't even try to flame anyone either or call anyone out.

GUYS

>>150476209
heyyy

so on topic, where do you guys see Skullgirls scene in 2018 when Indivisible comes out?

I think if by that time the Mobile version is well received (not PokeGo success, but still reviewed as legit fun game), and next year's CB can have the biggest SG turnout ever, then game should still be doing all right in 2018.

LZ's audience will be bigger from both SG and Indiv. SGM will keep appetites wet for new content, and SG would prolly be one of the oldest games still gaining new blood at major events, which looks good from a community pov.

Them's Fightin' Herds should also be out by then, which help strengthen the quirky 2D side of fighting games, so we might see more new FGC growth from people not as into SF/MK, and maybe help longtime "closet" SG fans feel less shy about coming out to play.

that's all optimistic, but I think it's possible. And if Indiv looks as stunning as we imagine, 2018 could be LZ's best year ever I hope.

>>150476735
>where do you see the skullgirls scene in 2018
due to Indivisable's release, it might or might not get a small boost in relevancy. Though if anything, it might increase a bit, since once Indiv comes out, people are going to be waiting for Skullgirls 2.

So far, the mobile game looks kinda neat, but it also looks like it's drain the fuck out of the battery like PokeGo. The mobile game doesn't seem like a replacement for SG2, but more as a "We know you guys wanted skullgirls 2, but we're making a different game, here's a little something to keep you busy." kinda game. It seems that it's gonna alot of unlockables and such to extend playtime.

>Them's Fightin Herds
Man, those guys have had almost WORSE luck than lab zero, and things look pretty glum for it, i'm not sure things are going to turn out ok for it, but here's hoping it will.

Honestly, as great as Indiv looks, it's going to get buys by only two ways: by mouth, or by ads, and Lab Zero is good at only one of those things, though they DID get alot of people's attention by sending beta copies to let's players which was a pretty smart move. Who knows? Maybe it will get very popular or even be the next big let's play game, whether or not that's a good thing is up to speculation.

>>150476735
i think peeps will be ready for skullgirls 2 once indiv has been out for a year or two. then sg hype will skyrocket

Is a joystick needed to learn SG? Or you can play just fine on controller?

>>150481672
I played just fine on a ps3 controller, but competitive players will tell you that joysticks are better for high level play

>>150478941
Agreed about advertising for Indiv. Hopefully the new gameplay footage will help sell itself though.
Clips from anime opening might actually turn some heads closer to release. Even Japan doesn't do those as much anymore, so it'll be kind of a novelty.
We'll have to see, but hoping for the best.

TFH looks like it's been on a good run. They haven't had many problems that I know of since the IGG got funded.
It looks better and better with each update and it's really showing off the power of the Z-Engine.
Only thing that'll hold it back will be small roster size at release, and PC-only launch with delayed console release,
but that's just stuff gamers will have to get over if they want more variety in their FGs from smaller more involved devs.
Even KI struggled with probably quadruple the budget SGs had, so indie FGs are gonna need time to grow.

Indiv at AGDQ would fuckn sick dude

>>150476735
SG and Indivisible may have two different types of audiences though, as SG is closer to a Marvel-type fighting game and Indivisible does not share that same characteristic. As for how the exposure will affect SG in the future, I'm not honestly sure. Indivisible does not look like a game that has mechanics that will take a while to learn, so it may have an appeal to those that do not want to become a "trainingboar" to play well.

Either way, I hope both do well in the future.

>>150478941
>drain the fuck out of the battery like PokeGo
I think that applies to most mobile games nowadays.

Also, I'm not sure how well the game will be adapted to a mobile setting as the controls will feel much different in comparison to holding a controller to play.

>>150481672
Either is fine. Inputs are relatively lenient. Most of the players at the most recent Combo Breaker were using the PS4 controllers if I'm not mistaken.

>>150476735
I am ready for Them's Fightin' Herds. Game looks interesting and the switch away from ponies gave more variety for the characters.

>>150483898
SG and Indiv will attract different peoples for sure, but the audiences don't have to be in a vacuum.
Like how Nintendo can have their Metroids on one side and their Kirbys on the other, but their fans
still find some common ground.with crossover discussion, fanart, cosplay, etc.

Best case, I think it'll just grow LabZero's collective audience and word-of-mouth.
So if CB or AX or whatever became like yearly LabZero-Central with tons of cool stuff, fans from both groups
could show up just to hang out and talk/play games and cosplay. And when you got a big crowd like that,
it can attract more people in from the outside who might wanna know what's going on.

In a lot of ways LabZero is still recovering from the initial challenges with Autumn and Skullgirls,
so I think that kinda good energy will keep em going as they move on to SG2 or whatever they work on next.

>>150476735
I agree Indivisible will keep LZ's audience up.
It may likely make the skullgirls crowd bigger.
I wanna say the phone game definitely will give more exposure due to their popularity right now.
That said, SG 2 seems much father off, even with the phone game. I would expect one or two more new IPs before we get SG2

Coming from the one who doesn't even know the name of the characters you kept spamming pictures of and insisted it was spelled wrong, not really. And I haven't actually seen evidence of it yet either, hence why I stated "from what I remember reading". Your reading comprehension ability is terribly horrifying. Is your ability to extrapolate information that bad that you can't even comprehend a single sentence without taking offense to it immediately? You are legitimately retarded.

Also, nice dodging the rest of the points. China still has censored most of the female characters' costumes, so your sjw "logic" doesn't really stand.
