Let's Discuss: Skullgirls

[Kopikatsu]

Does somebody had that infamous Felicia cosplay picture?

Spoiler: You mean this one?

[

Dayum is that some good cosplay...

*hides lotion*

She has Velcro nipples. Only explanation.

Hmm. Interesting. I'm going to be keeping my eye on this one.

As for the sexism, I have one question: If this is sexist, does that mean Touhou is sexist? I'm pretty sure that having an all-female cast isn't necessarily a bad thing.

What about Rinnosuke Morichika?

 

[Shinkicker444]

Game looks fun to me, I don't think its sexist - its no where near over the top blatant like some games (DoA?), if anything it seems to be poking fun at or having fun with it. Interesting art style although the colours might make it a little busy for me to keep up with in practice. The characters look fun too, interesting personalities and styles. I really like Ms Fortune myself - she's puntastic, and she has a hilarious combat style. I'll probably get it when it comes out if it isn't too much..

[Shinkicker444]

I'll have to PAW myself together.

A PURRfect play thing.

If you play with friends you can subject them to the puns as well "Wait while I PAWS the game."

Although not a pun I think OM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM, is probably the funniest attack ever.

KILL YOU. KILL ALL OF YOU.

Anyway, Peacock has a similar attack. The difference being that her mouth is an actual bear trap...

I fricking love that she has an attack that is a Silent Night, Deadly Night 2 reference.

 

[Shinkicker444]

Peacock is a little scary, she's like some sort of psycho monstrosity.

Am curious to see Bloody Marie in combat, I wonder if she'll clean up the others or if she'll be a bit of a pushover.

 

[Dreiko_v1legacy]

Looks alright I guess, however maybe I'm missing something since everyone else seems to like the idea but that Bloody Marie one is just tasteless. I mean really...

It looks like a typical moe in a maid outfit to me.

That's clearly a gothic-lolita outfit. Maids have aprons and shorter, less wide dresses.

Okay then. I'm not big on this stuff. Sorry for the mistake.

Guess today was a good day.

A day you go without learning something is a day wasted...or...something.

Well, her family was murdered when she was still pedobear-age, then she was kidnapped by slave traders, implied to be raped, was mutilated beyond recognition, then was kidnapped again by a secret agency who turned her into a cybernetic weapon.

'Psycho' is putting it lightly.

I have A picture of a felicia cosplay but I doubt it's the one you're referring to.

anime north in toronto?

Every single animation that Peacock has is a reference to something. Her heavy kick is the Charlie Brown football kick, for instance. Complete with football and everything.

 

[blah_ducks]

I've always been a fan of all girl fighting games, and this one looks to be extremely awesome. I love the wacky over-the-top style they're going for with a cool dark twist. With that said, Painwheel (while her moveset looks a bit limited.) will probably be my main. Filia for a two-on-twos, and maybe... Cerebella or Peacock for 3x3.

 

[somonels]

Meh, never liked this sort of... no, I've never liked fighting games.

As awesome as Kourin is, some people don't consider him, since he's never made an in game appearance.

OT: I've been keeping watch on the game since it was announced. Looks about as good as Melty Blood, so I'm pretty pleased, been tired of the swill that passes for fighting games nowadays, I swear SC is just pick an agile character and button mash, stuff by Arksys is really good though... But back on topic,

My favorite characters from what I know are Filia, Valentine, and Parasoul, and I'll definitely be getting Squiggly and Umbrella when they come out as DLC... Although I'm enjoying all the characters, really good toss up if you ask me.

I just love the Mitsuru Kirijou paletteswap Parasoul has though, it works so well... Gonna be torn if this and the Persona fighter have close release dates.

Just wanted to jump in here with some Word of God via the developers--

Peacock was not raped. ;v ;
I am relieved because she is my favorite ever. I mean, her backstory's morbid enough without it, jeez... Just glad this was cleared up early.

Anyways, looking forward to this game. Immensely. It appeals to me in a ton of ways, mostly as an artist with an interest in its stunningly smooth animation and excellent character design, but also as someone who likes dark stories and wants to get into fighting games.

 

[LtFerret]

I did a spit take when I heard her say "GARBAGE DAY"

I think i even heard one of Parasoul's soldiers say "Well, excuuse me, princess!"

Meh, when someone goes that far in torture (gouging the eyes and breaking the arms of a little girl) you can be pretty sure that rape is a hobby to them. In the real world at least.

 

[LKArtillery]

Yeah, but not when the character's creator specifically and directly says that it did not happen... :/ You assume too much.

(Besides, this isn't "the real world", it's fiction.)

Read the link I posted for reals this time! That's a post from one of the developers, pretty much straight from the character designer himself.
