How many blondes is this game going to have?


Anyways, not sure if this is the right thread for this, but on Steam Skullgirls is currently on sale for $3, and also free to play until Jun 7th.

Oh my lord..

I always enjoyed VOOT on occasion and I knew I sucked at it.

However it was never apparent how much I didn't know about this game until watching that video. Jesus.

And speaking of Sega I can't be the only person who would get excited about an Eternal Champions reboot. Sure the game was broken as fuck, but the characters, setting, and story were great.

[Blinge]

Whoa, I didn't realise there were that many 3D roboto fighters!

This is possibly the most hostile money match I've ever seen.. At this point it's not even about the game anymore eh?
Viscant vs Low Tier God

Jack-Off so fucking kawaii <3

Jesus, that was embarrassing on a few levels.

Favourite bit was the guy who lost assuring the winner he wouldn't beat him up post-match.

edit: oh right, loser's a DSP-lite scrub. from the atmosphere of the video I'd assumed he had some credibility.

Haha. It's easy to stand up to someone bigger than you if there's a crowd on hand to step in..

[BIL]

Was reading up on the whole manufactured drama (money match on someone else's dime, LOL). Even though I appended with "lite," I too must apologise to DSP for comparing him to that guy. At least DSP can claim some tournament credibility.

Watched that entire Accent Core Evo 2014 on and off over the last couple days, some wickedly intense matches in there. Kenji/Zappa and Fiestament/Testament had some entertaining as hell runs, even if they didn't always win. Fuckin dog trap!

I thought Visco only made LCD panels these days.

There, now it's on the right thread.

DOA looks better.

[drauch]

Street Fighter IV: Shaded Edition.

[Drum]

DOA looks better.

lol

Street Fighter IV: Shaded Edition.

nah

[Stevens]

In Britain eh? Dudley or Eagle basically confirmed.

And it looks great, but I was hoping it would have looked more like an updated 3rd Strike.

[LEGENOARYNINLIA]

Can't be hard to impress people who are used to SFIV...

[Obscura]

Guilty Gear Xrd is much better looking.

Anyways, not certain how I feel about what we know about the game mechanically (http://shoryuken.com/2015/06/11/going-h ... -benefits/). Crouch tech OS being gone is nice, focus attacks being gone is nice, backdashes not having hit-invulnerability is nice, no FADC is really nice. I don't know that I like the apparent emphasis on 3S style one-hit confirms into super. Still having a link-based combo system is a major turn off, even if they'll supposedly be easier somehow. QCF lightning legs is nice, although I wish they'd have just done that as an alternate input, like with Jin's Sekkajin in later BlazBlue versions, for nostalgia's sake. Ryu having a parry ensures that if I play this, it will be the first SF game ever where I haven't picked him. From what I've read elsewhere, walkspeed is still geriatric (I've even seen people say it's slower than SF4!), which will kill my interest entirely if it's true. Alpha Counters are sort of a strange choice; without more "non-traditional SF" pressure tools, I don't see how there's going to be enough block pressure to justify their existence.

[Immryr]

I really don't like the art direction of sfiv or v. Definitely agree with drauch and obscura here.

[BulletMagnet]

Or Cammy. Or Birdie.

[Blinge]

And it looks great, but I was hoping it would have looked more like an updated 3rd Strike.

At this point they could release another sequel to the SF3 series with more characters, a rebalance, sprites and similar mechanics.
I think people would go nuts for it.

[trap15]

omg I just looked at the rest of those shots. I thought it was bad, but holy flying fuck




You've got to be fucking joking Cagar. How is this "the best looking fighting game". This may even be a contender for worst looking. I've seen SNES kusoge with better art than this.

[BulletMagnet]

Could there be Western Blasterz'ing in our future?

On a semi-related note, Arc System now owns the Double Dragon and Kunio-kun trademarks.

Cool. Certainly no guarantee anything will come of it, but they're hardly the worst custodians for those properties.

New Clayfighter game?

[Formless God]

Eh I thought the "figure" shading was neat.
The muscular shit hurts my eyes though. I miss the older style.

[mariusrhpsd]

i just can't wait until this gets downgraded the fuck down

[KAI]

I'm more worried about that stupid power-up mechanic, they should call the game Projectile fighter V.

BTW, here's some news:
Yatagarasu: Attack on Cataclysm coming out on July 7th
Blade Arcus from Shining 2.0 Trailer

[mariusrhpsd]

also removing backdash invul is a mistake, you don't take out defensive option to make the game more offensive, you BUFF the offensive options in order to do that
