Yep. Though everyone's probably using WhatsApp or something. Never heard of Line before this. I should prolly make an account so I get cloud save.
So... Is Fukua in this? >3> Oh, and a dumb thing I'd like to see changed: Holding one finger on the screen, then putting another finger on makes you do your charge move. Shouldn't that make you guard? P :
That's doubly weird considering German is one of the language options.
Line is a popular messaging app in South Korea and Japan. Apparently it's got a few users in the west too.

Played a few rounds, feels and looks -really- good. The way the moves are outlined is pretty intuitive so far, really nice job! Its definitely a polished experience.
Yes, its gacha but if you're skilled youll be able to do well, I think

With great gameplay.
this is good news, I'll check back every now and then and hope G3 is added.
It runs kinda sluggishly at times on my Nexus 6. Given that, I can see why they would limit it to newer devices.
Just in under the line with minimum requirements.
Game plays pretty well. It's reminding me of blazeblue mobile a bit which isn't really a good thing since the progression wall kicks in in that game pretty fast. Seems a little more skill based (and no pointless fodder fights) with more meaningful upgrades though, so that's cool.
I'll stick with it for now! But I could see myself hitting a wall at some point.
What's the difference between different colour fighters? Is it just elements/stats or do the moves/combos change too?

Elements, stats and signature abilities.
Bronze / Silver / Gold cards also have different intro animations.
While we weren't directly involved with the monetization, we did insist that it be possible to buy a free thing every day or two just by doing the daily events, and that's possible.
As for the monetization, I'm told they targeted something "a little more generous than Injustice and Contest of Champions."

Game is nice on my iPad. Haven't felt the need to spend any real money yet and the game isn't naggy about it whatsoever. It did start feeling a bit repetitive after playing almost all day but yeah, it's great for what it is. I'm highly confused about the pvp though. Like, I'm clearly not playing other players in real time, right? But they also act very different to both each other and the story mode AI. What gives?
The AI for the Prize Fights is amped up considerably from the Story Mode and Events. I gather that PFs are the core replayable part of the game while Story and Events are more to get people started and to have something a little more easygoing to play.
Also, STICKERS:

They're only for iMessage at the moment as far as I can tell.
C'mon, LINE, I need my fix.
You're not fighting someone in real-time.
It's a more difficult AI playing with a team pulled down from another player.
No, it's an entirely different game, redesigned from the ground up for touch and swipe controls.
Just chiming in for the folks that can't play the game yet on their Android devices but still want to check it out.
Grab the Nox App Player (an Android emulator for Windows and OS X) and you should be able to run the game.
You can log in via your Google Play and/or LINE accounts so you can transfer your progress to your device if it does get supported. I've mapped touch input and swipes to keyboard and mouse within Nox and it's worked very well for me. As an aside, I've also played Vainglory and Injustice 2 using this emulator. YMMV depending on your hardware setup (emulated apps have crashed for me at times, so emulation isn't 100% perfect or stable).
This is my first real exposure to Skullgirls and I'm really enjoying it on mobile so far. I'm definitely going to pick up 2nd Encore for PC and/or the Vita--I love the aesthetic and overall presentation and am looking forward to see what the original game offers.

Any word on a Japanese App store release, or did I totally miss it when I searched the store like a bozo?
I was playing it just now using a galaxy s6 the app store probably got updated to include it.
Unfortunately they've given no word on a JP release date. I'm in Japan too though and it's a pretty simple process to VPN your way into the US store to grab it.
Japanese release is later - currently unknown when.
Not yet. I really do hope they add that feature at some point. Prize Fights is driving me mad with the constant character swapping.
I think it's just the last team you fought with. I know there was plans in older versions to set your team, but they've removed any mentions of it from the loading screen tips, so I don't know if it's coming back.
Did anyone here try to enter the Eliza Prize Fight? What kind of point total did you finish with? I'm curious to see what the general spread is.
For me it was around [Bronze: 450,000 - Silver: 1,200,000 - Gold: 6,100,000]

I only tried Bronze, as I didn't have any Silver or Gold fighters, but I guess I need to play a lot more as I stopped at around 40k points. What kind of win streaks did you have? I found it tough to win after 3. Those point totals are ludicrous.
Once you get a decent streak going the points totals go up reeeeeally fast. Steaks max out at 5x multiplier at 16 wins.
Once you figure out how the AI behaves it gets a lot easier to maintain streaks too. Though I find the Bronze events actually the hardest to maintain streaks in for some reason.
Cool...got Eliza (bronze) even though I thought I didn't get far in the prize fights.
I'm so confused with how the energy works. I know it's seperate systems between story mode and prize fights but I've leveled up and it looked like my energy replenished but the next fight screen says it's empty (also vice versa). Not sure if it's a bug or just a really complicated energy system that I don't fully understand.
Love this game so far though...don't think I've been this addicted to a mobile game since the first Injustice (injustice 2 really sucks).

Game is pretty cool but theres way too much IAPs. Also really annoying how ive gotten 4 characters and 2 of them were literally the exact same that i started the game with, the other was a different colored peacock(least its stats were different). Only got 1 new character.
That's a bug. For some reason the XP gain screen shows you your level ups from one or two fights in the past. By the time it shows you've leveled up, you've already used a bunch of your refreshed energy. It's extremely confusing and I basically just ignore when I level up now.
Hopefully that'll be fixed soon.

I love that they're using Beowulf's theme in the trailer. They know where the hype is.
Doubt my phone can run the game but I hope it does well. Lab Zero and Skullgirls as a property deserve all the support they can get.

Not compatible with the Galaxy Note 3. Old phone, so totally expected.
Buy premiere relics and spend coins on power up skills, starting with character abilities, extended combos and juggle finishers that are just above the character portrait in their powerskill menu.
>When you remember you live in America where everyone still uses SMS and come to the realization that you'll never get to use Skullgirls stickers.
Actually, looks like you can download stickers for iMessenger

? when did that happen?My OnePlus 3T's on Nougat! It's running pretty well for me.
Thinking of all the characters I've seen... I don't think Squigly, Double, Ms. Fortune, Robo Fortune, Beowulf, or Fukua are playable yet. Hopefully, they're coming soon. I want me some Double.

Played it on my friend's iPhone, man the game looks so sliiiick. I love Skullgirls, man - even if I'm plum awful at it. I'll keep checking every week or so if Nexus 5X gets whitelisted, I wanna see if this brings in new art and use of characters that didn't make it far in the polls and such.

I'm really enjoying it so far but does anyone know how to perform the juggle finisher upgrade?
Juggle finisher just tacks on another hit to your air combos. It does pretty major damage. Try using a character without the upgrade, and then use another of the same character with the upgrade to see the difference!
It's subtle but it just adds an extra hit on the juggle, its nothing too flashy as the name would imply.
