Hmm, is this the place to try and get some help for improving my Skullgirls play? I don't fuck with SRK, so if any one can play with me , and diagnose/step me through playing better? My Psn is AutumnAve, and I play filia.

You'd be hard pressed to find a better place on GAF for that sort of thing. I added you but if you're not around I'd suggest taking a look at the character sections on the official Skullgirls forums. No doubt you'll find some useful information there.

Your lack of faith in GGPO handling 130+ Ping is disturbing.
:P

Hard luck not finding anyone to play with online, I tried to join in any case.
 
i believe in ggpo

I think I already have you on my friend's list or was it on PC I don't remember ... in any case I play this game too and haven't leveled up yet because I'm busy with another game in the short term.

I'm probably the closest to you here in term of geography so there's a chance that we'll get 100 ping if we play.
 
Man, I guess I'm fucked. Filia sounds super hard to play at an decent level. That would explain wh I've never seen another in the wilds of Psn.

Just take it step by step.

Find a workable combo that you can land 100% of the time (doesn't need to be optimal), get used to her style of movement and learning how to consistently instant airdash and airball -> airdash cancel, and then try your best to incorporate resets into the fiber of her game.

Some of the resets I use for when you get more comfortable with the character.

If you're looking for advice on more of the fundamental aspects of the game then these 2 videos should be helpful as well.

Or you could use Cerebella. Pretty straightforward, easy combos, high damage.
 
I now own Skullgirls on 360, PC, and PS3. If anyone ever dares to imply that I don't support this game I'll punch their face.

With that said, I expect you PSN guys to help me practice for EVO later :V

Welcome to the triple club ! Me and Beats get sub-20s ping. It brings a tear to my eyes each time.

Hello, DiscoShark. I hear you are the person to speak with about Painwheel. Teach me...teach me...everything!
Click to expand...

Wanna play a few rounds?

Painwheel isn't terribly difficult to grasp if you have experience with how to apply fly based pressure, I think you have experience with Marvel type games, right? The only real difference is that a fly character will remain in flight after doing X normal in Marvel type games while Painwheel has to keep reapplying flight if she wants to continue an air based offensive after each normal. Setting a dummy to block/pushblock can help by allowing you to practice simple drills like Fly -> jMK -> Fly -> jMK or whatever normal you feel like using at the time.

Flight aside, the next biggest challenge becomes learning how to effectively approach your opponent and its what causes Painwheel the most amount of grief in the current state of the game. Right now it's difficult for her to really initiate anything unless she has an assist to cover that approach and an onslaught of effective antiairs and invincible assists can make that task a daunting one. Try to find an assist that allows you to fly close enough to call it to make them block but doesn't put you at a significant amount of risk to get into that range.

If you're up against a Parasoul/DP Assist that knows the matchup uh ... switch characters.

I just moved, so matches will have to wait. Yes, I would like to play, though.

What is my bnb off a j.HK and off of a throw?

I'm currently using Parasoul and Peacock as partners. Though Duckator told not to play Peacock on anything but point...

I feel like I need a character for Painwheel to properly battery for. WTB Brain Drain.

I want to play all of you really. The more practice and diversity the better. It's too late now but tomorrow I'll try to play.

The characters I think I need most practice against are Painwheel and Valentine in general due to lack of match up experience overall, and actually good Ms Fortunes and Parasouls because I'm pretty sure those random ones on XBL weren't even close to being similar to what I could face next week.

Look forward to me bugging you for matches and then kicking virtual magazine stands when I lose.

What the hell? You have PSN? If you do then you've been missing out big time. I would have challenged you a bunch and you could have fought Keninblack over 9000 times.

Also, we could have fought over who is the best "Solar". It would have been epic.

A friend lent me their PS3 like 3 days ago so I could practice for EVO because my Marvel copy got lost, and I'm buying one when I get to Vegas anyways. All I did was buy PSN cash today for Skullgirls.

Believe me, had I had a PS3 before I would've fought over that title multiple times already.

Throw :
Fly Up-Forward -> jHK
crMK HK
jHP jHK
crMP HK
jMP Fly Forward jMK jHP (like 1 hit) jHK
crLK crMK HP* Fly Forward
jLK
crLP crLK crMK HP QCF+LP

jHK :
crLK crMK HP* Fly
jLK
crMK crHP Fly UpForward
jHK
crLP** HK
jHP jHK
crMP HK
jMP Fly Forward jMK jHP (like 1 hit) jHK
crLK crMK HP QCF+LP

*After the standing HP sequences in a combo if you're not too far away you can do Buer Reaper (QCF+LK) -> Fly Cancel -> Continue listed combo. This adds a fair amount of damage but isn't a guaranteed hit because of distance.

**It is possible to combo a raw HK after jHK but the timing can be pretty tight and the damage added by doing so doesn't add a huge amount for making the combo a lot more difficult to do overall.

Worth nothing as well is that if you cancel HK into Flight after the second hit then it's stupid easy to do a crossup jHK. Abuse that.

~~~~

As for Batteries ... stick Double on the team? She's unarguably the character that can abuse meter the most in this game.

I need friends on PSN and XBL too... FairlySadPanda on both.

I really want to play some online matches tonight, but the game was pretty dead online when I tried. I hope lobbies fix the activity issue.

I'll add you. Mine's Kioshen everywhere.
 
Will be playing SG and AE tonight late-ish, hope some of you are around. Have many of you on my friends list but my odd hours usually mean that I'm never on when anyone else is.

PSN/XBL are both Beckx.
 
So I just got the Zod DLC for Injustice, and his trait is really similar to Fortune. The creature he summons has headbutt and OM NOM NOM. :P
 
What's wrong with the MK PC version?

Anyways, ggs Beats, that was fun. Man, your Fillia hurts when she gets a hit. I need to learn to finish my BnB.

It's crashed for me three times so far and the online play doesn't appear to work. It doesn't have windowed mode. It's way too expensive.

Someone come play me on PS3. :(

EDIT: Has anyone encountered a bug where the attack data gets stuck on training mode and even resetting the game doesn't fix it?
 
Can we get back to the dun, dun, dunning now?

Bookmarked! I still don't understand this game's combo system. Like, why can't I do the HK bnb after a throw? It breaks at the second c.MK for some reason.

Also, a gentleman I played with in IL did j.MK, fly, j.MK after launcher in his bnb, and I wonder why you don't do that at any point.

Will the upcoming patch destroy these combos?

Won't get excited until Ravidrath says keys are going out.

I was getting a bit mad at myself on stream tonight about not being able to get the basic Filia combo I was trying at all. That character has annoying stuff.

Well, Salty Cupcakes is tomorrow, so if we're going to find out, it'll probably be then.

Actually forgot: Anime Expo starts tomorrow, so probably no stream. Maybe yes announcement?

Still figuring it out, but I think we're going to try to stream Salty from AX on Friday.

Having just seen the state of the PC port of MK9, I don't think L0 need to be worried about competition in the PC space from it.

ANYWAY I am streaming day 5 of my week of Skullgirls. www.twitch.tv/fairlysadpanda.

It's actually a pretty good port. There are issues though, but nothing too major on my end. It'll be fine as long as they support it with a few patches.

...I just remembered who that dude actually was. Sheesh, no wonder I got anhilated; I was playing McPeanuts. On one hand, now I feel better about that, but on the other hand, there goes any slight hope of maybe doing well at EVO :U

Anyone wants to play in like an hour/hour and a half? That realization somewhat returned some motivation that this literally rainy day was taking away (seriously, rainy days kill any and all motivation of mine at anything for some reason).
