Pretty sure this is the first time I've preloaded anything on my PS4. First time I've seen the countdown timer at least. Pretty cool.

Just pre-ordered, kinda sucks that I have to buy it again on vita because of different region but I'm ok with that.

Hey, so! A note about cross-play. Or even just PS3 to PS3 play...

SCEJ's testing dept. schedule was full up, and unfortunately and we weren't able to get the JP patch approved in time for the 2nd Encore launch. Their FQA dept. doesn't work weekends, which just means they have a lot fewer testing days than their US and EU counterparts.

This means you should not play against Japanese players if you can avoid it, because it'll likely cause issues for one or both of you. Probably a crash.

We're going to ask Japanese players to try and quarantine themselves until the patch is out, but please keep an eye out for this.

27 mins here.

Trying to enjoy an in depth squigly tut and its verify informative. But I feel like I need to do a rail to keep up with this guy. Getting old, I guess.

Why are you reading my tag instead of the title of my post?
Agh! here we go. Who wants to play a round sometime in the next hour?

I gotta run through this tutorial mode again. I'm mega-rusty. Running about 300% less efficient than I was a few months ago.

I remember voting for Eliza in that poll and being happy the character was actually chosen. That poll feels like forever ago lol.

I can pick this up on PS4 now!

Still salty Annie lost. Haven't really bothered to stay up to date with the game after that sadly.
 
Is Marie 300% bugged? I have the PS3 version and it's blacked out. The description is still there tho. Maybe its just locked? I just wanna make sure.
 
I notice I have the announcer voices but don't seem to have access to the character specific alt voices, do I have to unlock them?

I've never played this before, is execution easier than SF? Also is the offline content comparable to ASW fighters?

It's a different style of execution, SF has typically shorter combos with reliance on timing based links. Skullgirls has "easy" combos in the sense that you can seemlessly chain multiple hits together going from light to medium to heavy but the combos themselves will go on longer than most. I'd say Skullgirls is much more lenient on the execution front as a whole thanks to a simplifying of inputs (no half circles or double motion specials) and some really savvy things like the game sensing when you want to do something like a 360 motion and keeping you grounded in that instance.

On the online front it's better than ASW fighters. Skullgirls pretty much sets the bar for online in a fighting game.

Holy shit an updated intro

That's the exact thing I wanted to happen but didn't think it would :O

:O

I typically skip the thing, looks like I'm going to have to check it out.
 
I cant seem to find this on the PSN store on PS4 anymore. It was up pre-midnight and wouldnt let me pre-order it. Now its just not there.
 
Uh, is anyone else having trouble inviting people to a player room in the PS3 ver? I keep pressing X and nothing happens.

Nope, I seemed to have sent you an invite without any issue.

Yeah no, I had the link up of the PS4 version on the web page and that seems to have gone missing as well. The shift from preorder to the regular game perhaps?

That's weird

Oh, Robo Fortune has to be downloaded separately? Is she up yet on ps3?

Also lol I wasn't kidding when I said I was rusty as fuck.

Going through Fukua's story mode and Filia is kicking my ass right now. I think she's the last character I have to beat.
