Well...the only person who really should be an adult that isn't is Cerebella.
Well, I haven't seen Painwheel's sprite animations yet. So I don't know if they animate her boobs like that.

Also Filia is 16.

But! The one I like the most is...you can choose either one character, or a team of three. If you pick only one character and the opponent picks three, then your one character will be powered up to the point where they can actually take on three opponents at once. Wanted a fighting game to do that for so long...
Why have you been waiting? I know Capcom vs SNK 2 had this, and there's probably games before it that did too. In "Ratio Battle" you choose up to three characters and distribute four points among them - the more points on a character, the stronger they are. So it could be a lvl 4 guy vs two lvl 1 guys and a lvl 2 guy. I used to just pick Ken and Ryu with two each. Love the karate guys.
I don't remember this. BI WHY MUST I BE SO FORGETFUL?

Anyway, I like doing that. And I was wrong. Apparently you can also do two man teams in Skullgirls.

I know, but she's a school girl. As is Painwheel. A 23 year old schoolgirl would be...weird.

Yes, they could have designed different characters, but should they? They wanted a schoolgirl, and so there is Filia. And Filia actually has a reasonably-sized chest for her age/weight.

Painwheel vid:

Edit: O-Oh Gods. P-Painwheel's leg...it...

LEGS DON'T BEND THAT WAY.

Well, she hadn't had a personal trailer yet, but there is already gameplay of her.


It is not the final version. I heard that the dev team is going to nerf some of her grunting a bit.

There is even an early fan video.

So many cool characters. I don't know which one to choose.

Eh, I just think it's weird to have schoolgirls in such a fanservicey game at all.
well... schoolgirls are fair game when it's cartoons I guess. 16 isn't really that bad... atleast they've hit puberty = \

I'm actually excited for this game. Although I normally don't play fighting games.
...
I can't wait to suck at it.

I don't know if you're joking, but you don't have to be amazing at combos to not "suck" at fighting games.

Haaahahaha. I feel the same way.

I saw one of the developers showing off Parasoul and some of her more ridiculously complicated moves and setups. I was crying on the inside because I want to main her, but I'm not really good with keeping track of every little thing all the time.

It's just the learning phase that gets me. I hate the hours it takes me to get at least competent with one character but it all works out in the end(sometimes).

Eh, by y'all's standards I'm probably "horrible" at fighting games myself. Ironically one of the best fighting games I'm at is a new one instead of a classic. It's Rachel Alucard on Blazblue. The Blazblue characters have really tiny movelists and so I got used to using her really quickly.

I guess one of the other characters I'm most used to is Ling Xiaoyu. Back in the Tekken 3 heyday, I was really addicted to the game and got really used to using her movelist in cool ways. I bet I was leagues away from anything "pro" or "expert", but I was able to consistently beat all of my family and friends that did play video games, and even against the highest difficulty the game, it felt like I was just dancing around my enemies without any difficulty giving more damage than I took.

Nowadays though I'm just lucky I still remember her movelist. And with the new Tekken game I don't use her at all, but instead Leo. And I'm just not nearly as good at Tekken anymore.

I need to stop worrying about being so open minded and making myself try new things, and instead for once sit down and try to master a fighting game and character. I'm just too busy with playing so many games that I'm not very good at fighting games either I suppose.

I imagine that it would be hard to cosplay as Cerebella without gratuitous amounts of super glue.

Sexist?
No.

Are idiots overreacting and thus giving the game free adverting?
Yes...and I hope the game is good so it's worth it.

I loved Arcana Heart, and felt it transcended its "moe perv fighting game" appearance. It also wasn't nearly as slutty as this game is, though (in terms of character costuming and even proportions). I look forward to seeing if the game is good, but I have to admit the sexual fetishism in Skullgirls is ridiculous.

If Skullgirls is being billed as a porn fighting game, fine. If it's not, however, then we can accuse it of being sexist with as much validity as we could Street Fighter for being racist (Dee Jay, T. Hawk, Bison, etc).

But who cares anyway, most games contain plenty of casual sexism and/or racism. Or failing that, are extremely male-centric in design and character archetypes. Not a big deal or anything, since I think that's changing slowly, but I still think it is true. Look at all the big console releases this year and try to tell me it isn't.

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.
