This makes sense. Sorry I missed your post before.
What I want to know.
This is pretty cool. Can't wait to see more data.
Japan going straight H.A.M.
Wish we were shown all countries, but still, pretty nice. Kinda surprised it was the UAE among arab countries to make it, as Kuwait is the arab country with the largest fighting game community. My guess is that it's thanks to a few in numbers but large in value contributions.

Could me have the number of backers per country too ?
Very happy with the showing from Japan - we spent a lot of time trying to court them, and it seems to have paid off.
It's also especially big because crowdfunding is a really new concept in Japan on the whole.
Sure - maybe later I can update it with the number of backers and average contribution.

Some drips of info are greatly appreciated and they give us something to talk about. Something small every couple of days would be great.
You guys are treading a lot of new ground.
It's just one of many impressive things you guys are doing. Players and fans getting a real quantifiable say in roster choices, stage expansions and NPCs is a pretty big deal too. Opening Japan's eyes to crowdfunding has to be a massive eye opener for the doujin scene over there too. Especially when it is happening for a fighter developed in the West. Then there is other stuff like the cost breakdown on characters which is something that no fighting game company has done in detail afaik.

I think our official thing is that we are "too dumb not to try" stuff. This is why Skullgirls seems to have a lot of firsts for such a small game.

This is where MikeZ took a hit @ BB... but nothing big.

We also beat Australia at something, so there's that, too.
Hey now, you are solely responsible for France's poor showing, so don't go picking fights with the Brits.
This is fantastic.
You should have gotten an e-mail from SurveyMonkey already with a link to the vote.
If you didn't get it, PM me your info and I'll see what's up.

Agreed! Surprised Japan outdid us though..

Marie, you never stood a chance
Really?! I thought they'd be the biggest to contribute.
If the translated page didn't have issues it would have been much bigger so the gap with us would have been even greater.

I convinced anti fiscal fraud minister Jérome Cahuzac to give you money, but his secret Switzerland bank account was discovered just before the end of the indiegogo campaign.
What exactly were the issues with the JP version of the page?

Will characters that don't survive the voting be set aside for a potential Skullgirls 2?
I think this thing is probably really overplayed.
In the last few days, our JP translator was busy working on all the character story stuff, so the JP version of the page wasn't being updated often enough.
Yeah, none of these characters are going to get killed off.

It wasn't updated for a time after Big Band received funding.
I'm not sure they're quite there yet. I'd like to think its possible, after all, all the characters on the DLC list have been essentially confirmed as a part of the universe (sans Super Samson which last I heard was best thought as existing from a different timeline/continuity than the core lineup.)

I wouldn't be so sure. If you consider that most of those votes are going to be pushing Marie, she has a much bigger chance of getting far in the voting rounds when everyone else seems so divided in who they want to support.
I'm not sure she'd win either way, but the Japanese voting bloc is gonna be strong, and she definitely shouldn't be underestimated.

Japan isn't a monolithic hivemind. Their votes are going to have divisions just like everywhere else.
It doesn't matter how far she gets as long as she doesn't win, which she won't.

Hey, so here's MikeZ's To-Do list...
How's that for transparency?
How's that for transparency?
I agree that Japan won't be pushing just Marie. I suspect Minette as well.
I'm impressed really impressed at the funding received by the UAE. Over these past 2 years I've been hearing more and more about a burgeoning FGC scene over there and it's amazing to see such an indication of their growth potential just through their crowd funding effort.

Just make sure you don't cross into 2012 Capcpom territory. It's a great thing when companies are dumb enough try awesome or even neutral stuff, but it all goes to hell when dumb and dumber collide.
Just keep being dumb for now. It's worked out amazing for you guys so far.
I laughed at this more than I should have lol.
Nothing controversial, I guess.
It shouldn't be surprising. The American fanbase is pretty big and we've had more exposure to the IP and game than Japan has by a good margin. Skullgirls has been followed for more than half a decade by some people in the US.
Hopefully we'll know more about the percentages and regional favorites in two to three months.
RC soldiers should totally have some effect as an assist. It was probably the most exciting assist people expected from Parasoul before the game came out.
You guys keep going this way and we'll see right through you.

Haha, just saw Mike adding something in.
Man, if I could edit in selecting the same character multiple times ._.
The Lag Checking is a great idea, bother Mike Z to keep it on the list.
About assists chacters doing winpose at the end of the round, maybe keep it as a PC exclusive? Heard that current gen consoles cant do double or triple "hypers" at same type, its could be nice to have this as a separeted mode with other modifications, just for fun so consoles mode dont see lacking...

That is some secret soviet tech right there. I want to see that implemented for sure.

To be more specific, his favorite other fighter of the generation is BlazBlue: CT, but it has gone downhill with each update. (4:08:00)
As I said before about him putting it on blast: Good.
Yuck. So icky.

Gonna sound like a total n00b here, but what's Charge Partitioning? I feel like after seeing it on this list for Parasoul as a possible change I should know what to expect.
I can't wait to see what these guys pull off with the next few characters.
The animations for peacock and double are impressive. It kind of bugs me seeing so much detail in certain animations but the transitions are off in others but they are easy to overlook with the frenetic pace of the game.
Peacock slowmo
Double slowmo

Man, do I absolutely love the animation work, Peacock's especially so.
Also, there are some Americans who will vote for Marie. I'd vote Marie over some chars (there's a few chars I really don't want in the game)
Who?
Everyone that isn't Panzerfaust of course!
Didn't know that at all. Interesting since I'm pretty new to this.
