The last update seemed to take a while but it did complete for me in the end.
For those interested in the animation details that the team at Lab Zero did for Squigly well there you go.
So many nice details all around that fly by during matches.

Subbed. I don't know that I'll have time to play to make it worth $36 right now, but I'm looking forward to picking up the final product.
Here are some variations on DiscoShark's BnB. Nothing too special, just messing around in training mode to see what I can do. I left the one with the green escape on so that when it's addressed in the patch, people will know they may be able to combo off of the ender.
The opening is wonky, most likely because it was timed around console load times. And the PC loads are faster, so it throws the timing off.
We really just need to completely redo it, but I don't think we're going to have time to for a while. Would make the most sense to redo it once, when all the DLC characters are added.
Squigly's No.8 color is Zozo from Code of Princess. I like it.
That's actually an incredible way of letting people play a character while still in dev. Really like that.
Didn't get into the Beta, but SG on Steam is a definite purchase or two--for a friend.

Not even GGPO can help people with terrible connections when they're probably doing all kinds of crap with their internet while playing. It's like trying to ride a tandem bicycle with a drunk partner.

Huh. That's an interesting problem to be having.

But but my game runs greater than 60 FPS in full screen as oppose to windowed :|
Woo!
Not that I expected anyone to hate her, but it's still really gratifying to see everyone liking her so much.
And glad the bugs were fairly minimal. We're working on rolling lobbies our for testing as soon as possible. It's a complicated piece of UI and code, especially with All-Play.
Is the notation of this combo available somewhere?
You should run in whatever mode gives you the best framerate.
Usually that's exclusive fullscreen but if windowed works for you, so be it.
God I can't wait for proper arcade mode and just more, more, more people online.
I don't really know how the netcode's worked up but I can't figure out a way to just steam message people I randomly find in a quick match... there was a squigly player I ran into three times who I was having fun with.

New update~
New super inputs for Squigly means people shouldn't be having any issue stance cancelling out of Dragon Stance and such so yay.

Not that I know of but you could PM Guitalex for it. Squig's normals are pretty obvious so it shouldn't be too hard to transcribe it by looking at the video. He has posted two more corner combos with higher damage already so yeah.
Nice changes overall. Hurray for proper button following on menus !

Something new I noticed was actual names when playing online.
Edit: Yep, I downloaded 11.9MB. It must be so nice having the ability to patch whenever you want.

Double's got a little bit of everything. You can zone to an extent with her gunshots and wait for the right time to dash in and attack and you can play her pretty pressure / mixup oriented with frequent use of jumping heavy punch and dash.
So how much chip did Road Roller do previously?

I wish everyone would play full screen mode, I come across people with excellent pings but the game still lags really badly. It's killing the fun.
Hm. I assume a lot of people just don't know. Hopefully this problem is fixed soon.

She can play a sort of zoning game with her j.HP while getting into j.HK -> Divekick range where she fucks shit up with rushdown / easy mode combo / reset madness. If you're running her with Val consider using Squigly's cr.HP assist as it hits low, has a great hitbox, and locks the opponent down for 4 hits.
Something about stances too, I dunno.
Yeah, I think it's a pretty high priority, but right now we're more focused on getting lobbies in so people can start banging on those.
So she's a hybrid zoner/rushdown character? interesting.

Today is Thursday so I hope you all know what that means. Salty Cupcakes is going to happen tonight, but not at the usual time. This week's show will start earlier at 6PM EST for those of you East Coast and UK folks who are forever free to California and their punk ass Pacific Standard time.

I went fullscreen only once I found out about the issue.

I remember the arguments people would make saying that the patch fees kept devs from breaking their own games and ADDING bugs lol.

I don't know how intentional it was, but releasing this so close to Evo is really making it hard to resist.

God. Glad I wasn't here for pre-release 360/PS3 GAF, that'd get me raging with knowing what I know now.
Haha, I had a feeling for the longest time that Kick stance cancel was slower than Punch stance cancel. Hat's off to Mike to normalizing them. With EVO tomorrow I don't think it's likely that we'll be getting Lobbies this week, here's hoping we can nab em by sometime in the middle of next week.
Right? I can't imagine resisting playing the beta version of the game if I was an EVO attendee.
Do you guys have anything that lets you know when you get a CTD, I just got one.
No idea what would have caused it, didn't see anything unusual. Any sort of files you would need- I'll refrain from playing tonight.
Noticing I'm enjoying the game more when I'm not having to face killers in every match.
One thing I am enjoying- since this isn't GFWL, I can keep my stick on PS3 settings and it works just fine on my PC, I don't have to switch to 360 like I did AE and Giana.

Been playing on the Windows side of my iMac.
Dear god this game was beautiful on my TV, but on my computer screen it's face meltingly delicious.
I can never go back.

Rise and shine to the smell of a fresh patch. (yeah, I know this was released this morning and it's the afternoon now, I only just got it)

Hmm.
"
Gameplay:
- Undizzy stun does not accumulate until IPS stage 5.
- Stun will be added in any IPS stage if the opponent already has stun.
- Stun does not immediately reset after recovering from hitstun, instead it counts down over a maximum of 90 frames.
"
This ... is interesting. It seems to directly curb the ability of players to do extremely long combos into ambiguous resets into more extremely long combos in order to kill a character. If a person wants to do so they'll be hit with an undizzy stun encouraging 1 of 2 options.
1. More resets from stages 1->3 which will of course give the opponent more opportunities to block a reset and potentially put the game back in neutral
2. Longer combos simply ending with a knockdown state to give players time for the stun counter to go down before reapplying pressure.
I like the idea fundamentally, at EVO we saw a lot of instances of the first hit on a character leading inevitably to a dead character because of the power of resets in the game. With this the defending opponent is put at less of a disadvantage and thus is given a higher capability of turning the tides before being killed.
