I'm a beginner to fighting games, I tried out all of the characters and I think I like Fukua and Parasoul the most, Do they make a decent Team?

>>162507198
definitely. Fukua tends to be popular with beginners too.

if you're on Steam, and have access to the beta, make sure to practice with the beta version of Fukua. she's going to be getting a lot of changes soon.

>>162507572
Not the same anon, but Fukua does seem simple in comparison to the other characters. Hope she works well with Squiggly.

>>162510732
Squigly's a tricky character to learn, so you'll want to spend a lot of time getting used to her Seria Cancels and movement.
I forget what good Squig/Fukua players are out there, but I know there are some.
You tend to see Squig paired up with characters that have chunky assists like Big Band and Double.

But the general rule of thumb is, if you enjoy playing the characters on your team, you can make it work.

>>162511395
All it takes for me to get into a fighter is finding the character for me, and I know that's Squiggly (favorite design, will get used to her canceling and movement in time), Problem is that single characters don't look viable (based on what I've seen on streams) and for one reason or another I don't care too much for the rest of the cast. I'm considering Filia to go with the rival theme but rushdown is not my specialty. Maybe I'll throw a Fukua in there for the third spot.

>>162511750
Solos are viable, but at high level you have to be a character expert. They have the most explosive comeback potential in the game, so Solo players have to be good at capitalizing on every little moment they can find. One Happy Birthday on your opponent and the odds swing heavily in the Solo's favor.

Solo Squigly is a tough road though ,because it's hard for her to take advantage of her best tools. I think she, Valentine, and now maybe Robo, are some of the most team oriented characters.

Still, you'll see some pretty sick Squigly comebacks where she might as well have been Solo. This year's Combo Breaker was infamous for all of the strong Squigly play.

>>162474559
yeah but what about the 90% who really tried and rage quitted?

is vitale gentle?

>>162513219
well the 90% that struggled is probably still only from the 30% of people that both beat the boss aaand cared to learn about the secrets in the first place.

so point being, of the people that played the prototype, 30% shouldn't have been very surprised that the extra challenge was going to be challenging, while the other 70% don't really care and will probably just watch someone else play through the hard parts on youtube.

that's how i figure labzero could look at it anyway.

>>162516996
Not being able to do things isn't fun.

What are the percentages on who had fun in the prototype?

>>162521150
it seems like a lot of people had fun in the prototype. I saw some people streaming the prototype that could barely beat the first boss but they still enjoyed it.

then on their 10th try they would finally beat the boss and get excited and happy and they'd finish the prototype without caring about a secret boss at all.

so you can still have fun with a game even if you can't do everything in it, it's only when the game requires you to do the hardest stuff (for a "good" ending or whatever) when it starts to become bs.
but most of the time those extra challenges are just for easter eggs and bragging rights, and the prototype pit is the same way.

so I would prefer labzero left some hard challenges in their game for that purpose. to make some of us itch to find out where the secret mega cat boss might be hiding.
as long as it's not required to beat the game, I don't think the majority of players are really going to care.

>>162524929
>>162525158
Just let the thread die rather than these bumps.

>>162523810
They'd enjoy it more if they were able to do all the fun things

wtf with that autism kso. go eat a currywurst or something. live your damn life.

>>162526250
the people that just want to beat the game will have plenty of fun.

but the people that beat the game and want to find more challenging stuff won't have as much fun.

I hope that when Mrs. Victoria/Deep Violet is inevitably released in a sequel that she gets a Zelda/Shiek kind of thing, but it actually works as a mechanic, unlike SSB

>>162529124
That sounds neat, but I think in lore MrsV is really trying hard to keep her secret.
It's not like Eliza who was keeping a disguise at first, but deep down doesn't really care.

I'm new to Skullgirls and confused. I have the Skullgirls Encore but I downloaded a free update, beowulf, robo fortune, eliza (when they were all free). It says on the title screen "Skullgirls 2nd Encore" but when I go on the PSN store and I go on Skullgirls 2nd Encore it doesn't say it's the one I purchased. Skullgirls Encore is the one I apparently got. So which version do I have? Does downloading Beowulf and the others mean I have 2nd Encore?

Also where is the replay menu on the PS3 version. It says fight recorded after a ranked match but I can't find any way to view replays.

>>162558242

All versions of Skullgirls are 2nd encore, If you bought skullgirls the 2nd encore update gets automatically patched into your game.

>>162558451
so is there no replay menu on the PS3 version of the game?

>>162558242
I sold my ps3 ages ago, but I think you need to go to settings and then look for your hard drive space.

>>162559184
No such thing on PS3

>>162558242
Confusingly, 2nd Encore refers to the latest patch, the PS4/Vita rerelease with all DLC bundles and timed-exclusive singe-player extras, and the PC DLC that brought those extras over. You have the former.

>>162559676
>2 months
>that's next fucking year

Should I get a PS4 for fighting games since PC versions are always dead in comparison?

>>162560126

You can grab the pc version for 3 bucks when its on winter sale on steam. Otherwise you can try getting a ps4

>>162560126

Arent there 3rd party recording softwares for ps3 anyway? on pc you can use fraps

>>162560089
I don't think it's that confusing. It's just that people aren't used to a fighting game getting a free balance update on every platform years after its release. Usually you have to buy Vanilla and then buy Super.

The extra singleplayer stuff is only treated as a seperate package on PC. Otherwise you're either on PS4/Vita and already got it or you're on PS3/360 and can't get it anyway.

>>162560126
Depends on what other fighting games you wanna play, but the bulk of SG's community is on PC, and PC already has replays.

Also nobody really knows when the patch is coming out. It's supposed to be Soon™!

>>162561356
Yeah it should be pretty soon. I know Mike said he was pressured to lock-in balance changes before the end of the year which is part of why we didn't get to try 150 Undizzy.

I haven't played many platformer RPGs so I wonder how seamless the story and gameplay integration will be. Will the storytelling be like in Dust, Megaman Zero, or Odin Sphere, where you have like a hub world for talking and getting missions?

I assume it was handled well in Valkyrie Profile, but I never played it.

There is a mobile Hubworld, as well as towns and cities you can visit

I think it is confusing, since the title screen says I have Skullgirls 2nd Encore but the PSN store says otherwise. I have the original Skullgirls but the update evolved it to Skullgirls 2nd Encore but it doesn't have replays yet or crossplay? There's little to no information here.

Do you guys ITT actually play these games or do you just fap to the Cerebellas? I want to become the very best North American PS3 online solo Cerebella player.

>>162571191

We do play and fap at the same time, if you want a game with us just state region and go online play

>>162571191
I don't think Replays are really an official feature on PC either lol, To my knowledge Mike just put them in because he could, and they kinda mostly work, but he can't afford time to fully bugtest them. Are they even planned for consoles at all?

Sony Crossplay is definitely a thing they're doing but it might be waiting on the Lobby patch for people to actually group up. Crossplay with PC won't possible though, unfortunately, because Autumn/LabZero can't afford servers.

>>162571369
I live in the majestic region of New Jersey.

I'm pretty new to fighting games in general so I don't think I'll be able to even challenge you guys. But I at least want to learn.

This is the only Cerebella combo I know and I noticed other players of the character don't use this so it's probably outdated:
c. lk, c. mp, c.hp, j. lk, mp, c. lk, c.hk, DP, dynamic dynamo

I do not have a neutral game and desperately try to get that lk. I get combo'd for 10 minutes straight everytime a character touches me and it's near impossible to not get combo'd right after it ends.

I am a rank B Hugo in USF4 and that's pretty much it. Nice to meet you. I look forward to fighting the Skullgirls experts ITT. Mike Z doesn't like Guilty Gear Xrd. Christine Marie Cabanos is not on top of me.

Is it possible to go online with Typing of the Skullgirls or is that offline only?

>>162572490

Sorry I dont play guidos

No but in all seriousness im on pc, perhaps someone other here on has something as ancient as a console and might play

>>162573783

Why would you want to do that??

Another thing that's confusing about the 2nd Encore thing is, I don't know if mine has crossplay.

I know the rerelease version for PS4 has crossplay, but I don't know if my version of 2nd Encore has it

>>162574230
All the PSN versions have crossplay

>>162574194
It's fun. And your supers actually scale if you mess up, so even if you get the hit you have to put in a little extra work to keep the damage.

>>162572490
There's actually a few SG offline things in New Jersey that some of the top players go to, like the NJQR - https://twitter.com/qtrlyrapport .
You should definitely look on the Skullgirls Discord because you can probably find some training partners up there.

>>162575204
I'm a total newguy though. I feel like I should at least be a competent online warrior before I should discord with people.

If I played with any of the real dudes I would just be wasting their time. Also I have this dread feeling that it's too late to be getting into Skullgirls, like the game is ead already so all this would be pointless

>>162572490

>>162576314
That video was from 2 years ago though. Are these still the most optimal combos?

I'm hoping there's at least one Cerebella main ITT that can answer this.

>>162576959
I am a Cerebella main, and she was my first character just like you.
The last combo is the "normal" combo, and it doesn't really matter if it's 100% optimal. Optimal combos are cool but if you drop them then there's no point. The last one is very easy, even for a beginner, and it gets you familiar with most of Cerebella's chains (magic series? fuck FG terminology lol).

When I started out it took me forever to learn the first combo because I'm retarded but once I got it down it made learning the rest of Bella's stuff a lot easier.

If you want I could show an optimal combo versus the last one to show that it isn't much of a difference.

>>162576959
Yup, that's still a good universal BnB. Not really sure if it's the most optimal damage you can get, you might be able to squeeze a little more out with runstop shenanigans, but I see people use this one a lot. It's simple, easy, universal, and has a bunch of good reset points, which is really what matters most.

Bella hasn't changed all that much, and Mike usually doesn't break combos unless there's a good reason for it. He also doesn't like to mess with his waifu.

So the combos are still good then. Alright, I'll practice.

Btw are you guys SF players too? I'm not dissing Skullgirls when I say this, but it seems really mashy and too frantic. Street Fighter feels really precise (I can jump over every individual fireball, I can see every overhead coming and react to it, position myself perfectly, know everything that's happening on screen) but Skullgirls feels kinda like Marvel where it's one-touch into a 10 minute long combo.

The moves are too fast to react to, and each round feels like whoever touches his enemy first wins the whole thing as long as he memorized a long combo. Or this might be just because I'm new to SG.

How good is Kikutas music?

Should they have gotten Jake kaufman for indiv instead?

>>162580006
SG's combos aren't that long compared to Marvel or most 'anime' games, undizzy puts a hard limit on them. However SG has a very high emphasis on sustained pressure via resets. Defending against it all is hard and it'll take time to get the hang of.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKsyy_RhN_4

I dabble in 3S on the side, not very good at it though. Even though I'm plenty used to SG's defense, I never know what to do after I get knocked down there, and parrying anything more than a fullscreen fireball is beyond me (let alone successfully punishing if I do parry something). I choke a lot trying to keep up pressure on offense too.

>>162580883
I love love love Virt, but I don't really think his style is a good fit for Indivisible. Most of his stuff feels very energetic, which could make for some good battle themes, but Indivisible seems to be shooting for a calmer and more serious atmosphere that would call for more ambient overworld/dungeon tracks. And IMO he's at his best when he does chiptunes, I want him to keep working on retro-styled projects for that.

Hiroki Kikuta's great, and I think what we've heard so far fits the game's atmosphere so well.

>>162580946
>'s combos aren't that long compared to Marvel or most 'anime' games
haha

>>162580946
very helpful video. I'm gonna block all

>>162580006
>Or this might be just because I'm new to SG.
Yep.
Combos in SG are definitely longer than SF, and the action is more frantic, but in an even ratio you can't get killed in one touch. It's inspired by Marvel, but in games like UMvC3 you actually can legit get killed in one touch.

What will really blow you up in Skullgirls though are the resets, which you have to learn to be ready for.
This is the same stuff that kills people in SF too (see- Mika, Laura, Urien, etc.), but thankfully in SG there's no Dizzy Stun, and you can take advantage of things like chicken-blocking, Assists, PBGC, etc. to deal with pressure. The more you get used to the mechanics, the more opportunities you'll find.

Also when you fight better players online, pay attention to what things they do to counter you. That's how I discovered how good Reversal Supers are.

>>162580883
Jake's amazing, but Kikuta really was made for Indivisible's soundtrack.
He's an oldschool JRPG composer with a good range and a strong affinity for SEA culture.

He also has a free album on bandcamp

The projected release date has been 2018 from day one. They've been in pre-pro this year and go into full production next year.
Lotta stuff still on their plate, but there's a lot of gameplay changes and engine updates that they worked on this year, and some of it we got to see on stream.

Another reason Kikuta is good for Indivisible is that the man hasn't done a full score for a game like this in a number of years.
It's a real shame since SoM and SD3 are some of the most celebrated RPGs ever made and the OSTs have gotten countless remixes at this point.
Yet over the years his name never got the same notoriety as his contemporaries like Uematsu, Mitsuda, Kondo, etc.

So while Yamane was coming fresh off of her Castlevania work for SG and feelin fine, Kikuta hasn't had quite the same spotlight and has probably been thirsty to score another epic.
I think he's really going to make the most of this opportunity, try his best to impress, and put some good energy into the soundtrack.

Let's do this.

I'm so scared that Indivisible will fail.

Not that the game will be bad. I know the game is going to be amazing. But I'm afraid that it's not going to appeal to anyone other than those who have already backed it. It has weird combat and while the art is gorgeous, it doesn't appeal to a big enough crowd. It'll be considered a niche game that RPG fans as a whole mostly ignore due to the radically different combat system that not many other games use and Lab Zero will be forced to crowdfund their next game, which will be really, really bad for their image despite the amazing quality of their products.

I'm just so worried. Everything's going to be alright, right?

>>162618192
yea dw

>>162618192
I don't think Indivisible is going to blow up like Undertale did, but there is still a strong potential audience for the game.
In particular, RPG fans that aren't satisfied with modern FFs/DQs, but also had issues with throwback titles like Exist Archive, I am Setsuna, Ni No Kuni, or Bravely Default, might end up finding themselves latching on to this game.

It's one of the few new retro-inspired RPGs on the horizon that's trying to take its production value seriously, and attempt to innovate on classic systems like ATB to avoid some of the pitfalls of older games,

The combat isn't that radically different either. There are a lot of classic RPGs that the combat makes callbacks to other than VP, like MarioRPG/Paper Mario, classic Tales games, Xenogears, CT, and Legaia. From what I've seen, fans of older RPGs are noticing that, and if LZ can make the game shine more with each new update, then a bunch of these people will definitely be showing up to play on release day.

The only thing that I think might cause a big stir is if Indiv and Bloodstained actually end up releasing around the same time in 2018. I'd really hate for those games to be unjustly compared to each other.

>>162616332
not feeling 100% on mine, but this is close to how I'm thinkin based on the Beta. definitely can see some overlap with yours.

I think there's a pretty large audience of people who will buy and enjoy the game once it's out and they hear it's good, but won't spend a dime on crowdfunding after seeing too many other projects either fail to deliver or turn out to suck. I'm normally one of them, but I made an exception here because I trust L0 and they put out a prototype to prove they have something good on their hands.

Look at Shovel Knight. They had a fairly modest Kickstarter that brought in a little over $300k, but then when the game came out and people started raving about how good it was sales just exploded.

Can't Mike Z make the game alive again somehow? Maybe another rerelease with new content, just to get the game out there more?

>>162638694
No. But you can play the games her moveset is ripped off from.

>>162638694
Game is pretty active on Steam, at least for a five-year-old indie game in a niche genre. If you're not third world it's not hard to find people to play against.

>>162638773
her moveset is ripped from what? I main the grappler in every fighting game I know and I still haven't found someone else with her moveset.

>>162639226
Someone told me her runstop is based on Potemkin's Hammerfall Brake. Not sure what else he's referring to, though I'm no expert in fighting games.

>>162639896
I think
Diamond Deflecter: DFB

Diamond Drop: Potemkin Buster/Hugo Backbreaker/Clark throw

Merry Go-Rilla: ? (range isn't far enough to be similar to any other grab I know)

Excellebella: Heat Knuckle

Grab Bag: Never seen a command grab similar to this, maybe it's just the animation that's unique to me.

Tumbling Run: Not really similar to Hammerfall, because Hammerfall only ends 2 ways and is slow, range is limited. With Cerebella she runs fast and there's many options. Potemkin's Hammerfall is more similar to Big Band's armor fist.

Dynamic Dynamo: Only Xanadu from KoF14 has an attack like this but he came after skullgirls.

Showstopper: Typical command grab super. But animation is pretty unique.

Diamonds Are Forever: for some reason all lv. 3 supers in this game are underwhelming to me and they all look the same.

Cerebella does have some moves of other grapplers but overall she's very unique and unlike any of them. She has an armored command run attack, run cancel, command run grab, command air falling grab, command anti-air grab, forward extended grab, projectile deflector, a DP, an armored forward attack like hammer fall (lock n load) and she can glide.

She's so versatile and thighs warm breasts sweat stinky breath top bed creak feel open lips fast hard together pleasure faint

Double because she's a shapeshifter and can fit herself anywhere

>>162646019
Peacock's basically the pinnacle of Lab 8's anti-skullgirl research. She has potential for reality warping abilities that surpass the Skullgirls' and might rival the goddesses, but currently in the game she's not that experienced yet.

New to skullgirls and fighting games

holy fucking cocksuckers is this game genre hard

any tips on learning, character suggestions, or tips on combos?

>>162659823
Start with ground chains and learn the timing of them. Repeat them until you get them right. If you need a handicap, I suggest using a character with multi-hitting attacks such as Valentine.

Don't mash the buttons. Try to get the attacks you're trying to do out instead of just pressing the buttons as fast as you can.

You can incorporate launchers after. The timing on air chains is the same to the ground ones.
Good starter characters are Filia and Cerebella. Cerebella has pretty much every motion you'll see in fighting games except moon motions so I'd recommend her for now.

>>162659823

Dont try 3v3 from the getgo try getting gud with 1 character before adding another to your team

Is the Skullheart forums as helpful with Skullgirls as Dustloop is helpful with anime fighters?

>>162660149
2 Things:

I really like Eliza. She's got braindead range, is she good?

How do I do a Z attack

>>162660909

skullheart forums are really solid as far as gameplay discussion and beginner guides are concerned

>>162660914
She's a very good character. Most characters in the game are fairly well balanced so you don't really have the issue of being stuck with one who is terrible. There are those that rise above the rest but it isn't anything like a 6.5-3.5 matchup. Especially when you throw in multi-teams.

>Z attack

Going to have to explain a bit more in depth there.

>>162660914
>>162661478
Ah wait. I got ya.
D(ragon) P(unch) motion. ShoRyuKen.

Look at your numberpad. The motion is 623. The Z is just because you start at neutral or 5. So you go forward. Down. Then diagonally forward and down and then press the button.

>>162659823
In addition to everyone's advice, make sure you do the Tutorials too. Do them multiple times if you have to. There are some hard ones in there, but getting through them all will mark your dedication and ability to focus (good for any fighting game). You'll also get a small taste of most of the mechanics you'll need to understand, save for a few very advanced ones.

If you go on online Quick Match, you'll get bodied, but keep in mind that a ton of the SG playerbase are newbies to the genre that got good just by sticking to it (you can see a lot of their diaries and progression on the Skullheart forums). Just friend up with players you find on your level over time so you guys can train together and stay loose.

Is there ground tech in this game? I did all tutorials and there was nothing about it

>>162662251

I have a hard time defending Fillia and Parasoul. I like the two characters but everytime I show the game to someone they always notice how they look bland compared to the rest of the characters.

>>162664768

Parasoul I can understand but filia has a crazy hair monster on her head

>>162664768
Parasoul's actually pretty popular. She tends to be a favorite for people outside the fanbase (She was the first pick for Yipes and Alex Valle when they played) and she gets a bunch of cosplay.

Filia I kind of agree with though, but living monster hair has a lot of potential and there were some flashier move concepts for her that never got made. I think her being the first character they worked on with the roughest workflow diluted some of her potential flair in the game. She has the most basic backstory on the surface, being amnesiac and all.

Hey Anon, in case you're still looking for suggestions, Squig/Bella is a pretty good team. It's the team I played when I started.
They're good characters together, but my advice is you'll want to make sure you have a good Squig that can stand on her own too.

I've seen some pros do Squig on point with Excellabella Assist, similar to how teams will use Big Band's A-Train Assist.
The strategy is for more specific setups than running Copter/LocknLoad Assist, but seems to work really well for Squigly.

Thinking about it, this might actually be a real option they're exploring. Ignoring mouth movements and particle effects, each of the cutscenes in those examples used only about 30 unique frames of animation or less.

Peter said that they contracted 3 minutes of animation from Trigger, so in terms of frames, the budget for each minute could be worth 10-20 cutscenes at a similar animation quality to those videos.

So they could possibly have Trigger work on a 2 minute opening at full studio quality, and then put the remaining budget towards smaller, simpler cutscenes to fill out the rest of the game.
They would just need Titmouse to storyboard those frames as tightly and on-model as possible, and then have other artist contractors handle things like lip flaps, FX, and maybe some BGs after they got the finished art from Trigger,

Of course, not sure if they'll actually do that or not, but it just seemed more plausible once I started to break it down.

I feel like I tend to look for what can do #3, and then see where I can use it for #2 or #5.
Definitely a fan of Cerecopter, and will miss old M Shadow.

That's why it makes sense that they might not be putting the whole stretch goal budget towards just the opening.
Now that Trigger's locked in, It would be really smart to use their talent to boost the game's overall presentation, even if only by a little bit.

How does one resist the temptation of button mashing?

I get significantly better results than if I try to execute good combos.

Gotta practice. If your gf's mashing is beating your not-mashing, it means your not-mashing strategy just sucks.

There are actually times when mashing can help you get the better timing in certain situations, but it obviously can't be your whole approach.
There are too many good moves to beat a spazzy player, half the time you can just call assist to deal with that mess.

Welp, it's seems that everytime you upgrade you have to contact them to get it back.
Lucky it only took a day and they were helpful but still I'd like to think of a world where this problem is not being a thing.

I believe they have it on record, so you just ask them to do it and if you add it as an addon it doesn't stay as an addon if you change.

It's a bit confusing but I think they can sort it.

Where does Parasoul keep her armies?
