Skullgirls- New Characters, Painwheel and Valentine, Announced [Full Roster Revealed]

Skullgirls |OT| Made in America

I've been trying to think of a good title with a reference to this being an American fighter, but I couldn't think of anything clever.

Throw my vote in for New Age of Heroines unless someone thinks of something better.

lol@thisonvita
 
You know you're one of my favorite posters right? This is brilliant. I wish this could fit in the thread title.
D'aww thanks, I'm just a nobody though. But we are Fightan+Mangaf bros.
Also if it can't fit in the thread title we can always put it in the OP or something(if that's cool)

Wow haha how did I miss this. It's awesome. It should be like Skullgirls |OT| Everything goes with Skullgirls - in America With some editing into some vids, it'd be gold.
 
Tell me GAF, is it bad form if I wait for the Steam version, since it hasn't been officially confirmed...?

While of course it would be in my interest for you to double-dip, I don't think that's bad form.

...Assuming it's happening. :P

But it's not like the PSN/XBLA version are going anywhere if it isn't announced.
 
Just gonna repeat myself from the last page since it was near the bottom:

I want to nominate Solar for OT. I don't think I can do the game justice, especially not how my next few weeks are looking, and neither does Ninajheartless. Ninaj thinks Solar would be a good fit and I have to agree, especially after the latest info dump post. The only other person in this thread more invested in the game is probably Ravidrath.

Upandaway is pleased.

Mangaf fo lyfe
 
Ya'll are already picking OT names? :O

My vote goes to New Age of Heroines also as my good friend El Sloth said, I believe SolarPowered should do the OT if he has the time. His level of excitement and interest in the game makes me believe he would do a fantastic job ^__^

<3 SkullGirlsGAF
 
Motion seconded for Solar heading up the OT. Also, New Age of Heroines is awesome. "Skullbros are DLC" is amazing too and props to "Made of CvS2, MvC2 and everything nice." :lol

Upandaway is pleased.

Mangaf fo lyfe

I wonder if Mangaf even remembers I have roots there. :lol

To keep my posts on topic, Solar is a cool guy and if he's up to it then by all means he should have reins over the OT.

Of course, you're a Sankarea,Witchcraft,Tasogare bro.
Also both of you need to post more TWGOK bros. =p.
 
You people are terrible. I usually don't tackle stuff like this, but now I have no choice lol. I've already finished the basic outline(inspired by Dementia's BlazBlue CS thread in community). I'll just have to keep chiseling at this piece until I get the perfect statue. The only thing I'm truly lost on is the banner at the top. I have no clue where to go with that and I want it to look nice. I'll have to ask around to see what I find and who I can talk to on GAF.

On a lighter note....

SoCal Regionals 2011: Skullgirls Round 3: Koyunlu vs CopperDabbit HD

SoCal Regionals 2011: Skullgirls Round 4: Baloney O's vs OFC Kingsley HD

Round 3 is great. Peacock struts her stuff, but I think she may have even more up her sleeve than we might suspect. The overall space that her projectiles cover can be pretty massive and her chip damage can wear you out quick. I'm especially fond of the hitsparks she produces in battle. The scene where the laser pellets shoot across the piano that she drops on the ground is very pretty and a great example of the lighting system at work imo. I just can't get over Ms. Fortune in this match. She is so damned awkward with the jokes that I can't help smiling every time she is on the battlefield. I look back at the days when people were complaining that Ms. Fortune was too quiet and her VA wasn't good.... lol!

Round 4 is even better for me since Parasoul is my second favorite character. Her normals are godlike in range and intensity. Her blockstrings are really good so far and her zoning game is very strong(don't underestimate Peacock's teleport though) without taking advantage of her soldiers(Roman Cancel soldier in particular). She would be the number one threat in the game if she weren't a charge character(Cerebella is top followed by Parasoul and Painwheel). Her potential to trade off Sniper shot is huge which you don't see in this match either. Just a ridiculously strong character. I can't wait for the long nights of swearing and relief that I'll have to deal with while I learn how to play charge characters properly. :')
I wouldn't mind. However do not expect anything flashy from me as I am strictly on the side of OT's being informative and easy to navigate rather than the abomination known as the Assassin's Creed Revelations OT.

I could just help Ninaj if he still wants to do it.
I would've sent you a PM after Ninaj lol...
This would be my vote.

It was Mike's name for his Evo panel, and subtly encompasses everything that needs to be said about the gameplay.
That is why I picked it. It just fits so well.
While not the best of titles(in my opinion), it did make me realize that we need to address that problem early in the OP in the most tasteful manner possible just to stop people from ruining the thread with discussions about it. Maybe Ravidrath can help with that?
I've used some thumbnails and cropped images in the hopes that we might be able to control the response a bit. I still put up a lot of pictures because Ahad and his art team have done a commendable job that needs as much exposure as possible.

One of my favorite things so far is that I'm using images from all kinds of sources besides the ones released by Reverge/Konami/Autumn and they all look just as good whether they are straight from the developer or straight from Prt Sc jobs.
I like the first one. Second one should have been a Powerpuff Girls reference.
I got that show on DVD. I'm not even afraid to admit it. That show was pretty hilarious and it has it's badass moments too haha.
Skullgirls l OT l No Dicks Allowed.
You are so mean.

:lol
 
Americana Heart is both the worst thing and the best thing.

Don't forget to claim the OT here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=450653

I see a link on there for a Gaffer who is willing to help with graphics and such. Maybe he can help you with the banner?

After thinking about it, I don't think I could have done the game justice. I'll still be willing to help you out with what I can if you want it!

The show was great when I was a kid, and just awesome now that I'm older. The Meet The Beat Alls episode is a lot more funny to me now then it was back then. Such a great little show.
 
Sloth, do I win anything if my prediction of this coming out in March is true??
Bastard, you were supposed to forget about that! I suppose we can still make it an avatar bet. Winner forces the loser to wear an avatar of their choice for a month.

But you didn't bet anything! ;p I didn't ask for a bet, I just wanted to know if I would win anything. lol
 
Woo, SolarPowered!

When you're ready to get started on it, I will send you all the art we have to help you get started.
I wouldn't even know where to begin with all that hehe. I've already made decent character portraits(which I'll probably edit again since I really want to make sure that people read before judging blindly), but I'll totally go through anything you throw my way. My number one priority is information and space controls visuals so far and I like how it has turned out.

I'm also making full use of those HD vids, SRK and the internet in general when it comes to information features. Thanks for being so quick about offering your help.
Thanks for the heads up. The one thing that confuses me is how I would apply without even knowing the release month(I'm totally not trying to trick you Ravidrath, I swear)...

I'll ask someone over there.

I'll keep that in mind.

Eh... it's not like I'm some sort of OP wizard when it comes to threads haha. I honestly feel like I'm just fumbling in the dark here despite the fact that 60% of the OP feels done already.

Oh man... this thing is bringing out the micro managing beast within me and it's gonna drive me crazy if the game doesn't release soon. Oh wait... it'll be the same even if the game releases soon. :'(
The show was great when I was a kid, and just awesome now that I'm older. The Meet The Beat Alls episode is a lot more funny to me now then it was back then. Such a great little show.
I'm gonna sit back and watch this episode tomorrow just for kicks.

That is... if I don't lose my mind with this little project first haha.
 
Newest Edge has a 4 page preview!

Edit: Grr, apparently Edge credited me as lead designer, which I am not. Apologies to Mike Z, because I really tried to stop that from happening.

Not the kind of mistake I'd expect from EDGE. At least it's not Eurogamer trying to start shitstorms.

It's somewhat understandable, actually: I'm Lead Designer on another project we're pitching, so that's what's on my business cards. However, I'm VERY clear that that is not my role on Skullgirls and they keep forgetting, even though they write it down with everything else I say.

Anyway, moving forward, I'm getting some new cards made so this doesn't happen again.
 
Well folks it has been a while but here is the triumphant return of Fan Art Fridays!
