More Skullgirls news.
posted to the public at 10:16 PM on Tuesday Apr 10, 2012
Just got the game today since it's out for PSN right now. It has so much... attitude and personality in it. It's a living wagon of anime, video game, and classic cartoon references, for example, especially with Pea****. Even memes get referenced, but you all may have already knew all of this.

ANYWAY, here's the main attraction:

You read that right. One thing I first noticed about the game is how it lacks a command list for each of its characters. Hopefully, if the game is able to sell well, Skullgirls will be patched with in-game movelists and DLC.

I'd give it up to one full month or more to make a good profit. It looks like it'll need the support, being a high-quality DLC game and all. Indie DLC games don't get as much attention, so if this can get more popular, that'll be a great accomplishment. The game is even getting a PC version later.

In the meantime, one can see all of the characters' moves either on the official website or the recent SRK page.

The game's main website sometimes doesn't work. It must just be for maintenance. From what I saw, it has plans of regional tournaments for the game, and it has also launched an online store!

The character guide from that site can be downloaded as a .PDF file. If you can do this and you have a printer, I'd say go for it. It has three different versions, each one based on a different controller: PS3, 360, and Arcade Stick.

Whether you like the game or not, its creators are waiting for results of how much support their game will get. We'll just have to wait and see what happens in the next few weeks.

Here's hoping for the best from this cute, creepy, sexy game!

PS: Michiru Yamane (Castlevania) FTW!

I heard they are also looking to add lobbies and spectating later as a possibility/

If only they had a YouTube system like Third Strike OE does, too. But better.

Kind of wondering why training mode has a hitbox viewer (amazing) but no block settings or CPU movement settings or command list. While I know all of my moves now it would be a bit annoying for a beginner. Combo system seems to have a lot of potential though, I just wish I could test if chained moves still have overhead properties or if they lose them when you chain them... if not blocking is going to be hard as hell.

This game is making me want to finally get Guilty Gear and BlazBlue, too.

You should have played GG and BB sooner. Being familiar with those games help.

I know. It's just that if I focus on too many fighters at a time, it wears out how much attention I give them on their own.

But then again I'd love to get into a lot of fighters, just to find something unique about them. Plus there's more to me than just fighters. I've got Action games, RPGs, and Platformers to worry about, too. Old and new.

You have your work cut out for you.
