Skullgirls Countdown!!!!

[Pink Gregory]

Is it possible that I may be waiting in vain for a DRM-free release? (Presuming that it'll have Steam DRM)

Ahh, probably won't wait

If you imagine the big budget LAbZero used to create this game, I don't think to see this for free for a lllllloooooooooooooonnnnnngggggggggggg time.

But at least all DLC character will be for free

I don't mean free as in the game is free (that would be a ridiculous thing to expect), I mean as in availability without the Steam client. Some games on Steam are DRM-free and don't require the client to launch or run, what I'm asking is if it's possible that Skullgirls will be either released in this fashion or anywhere else but Steam.

IT'S HERE!

Bought it. Oh wow, I cannot play fighting games

I'm not going to be out of the tutorials for months, ace!

I'm terrible at fighters too, and I need some practice...

Wanna fight?

 

[Mister K]

Preordered it. Downloaded it. Squigly feels nice, although I do think that I need to spend time in the lab.
Lets wait for PS3 release too.

Maybe when my moves don't come five seconds after my reactions, baby steps ;D

Well, add me on Steam and message me when you're ready, my name's my Escapist name. I'm probably as bad as you, so don't be scared. What character are you maining? I'm maining Squigly.

Squigly's story mission is definitely the one that Lab Zero put the most effort into. The art is stunning in comparison to everyone else's story.

Also I really, really stink at this game. Mashing the directional combos is so hard when there's no physical stick, and I seem to win most of the AI battles by spamming the six basic attacks in my endeavors to use even any Special or Blockbuster moves. With each character, once I run into Marie, I simply get outpaced because I can't do any damage fast enough.

Ok I have decided to get the PC version as well despite me loathing steam as I cant wait to play Squigly unfortunately its going to take about 6 hours to download SkullGirls and the Endless Beta version and then I have to hope my comp runs it.

Just wanted to know is the endless beta version now the proper version or do they just change that one on the fly due to feedback and then update a set number of changes to the other version when they are happy?

Any help would be appreciated also does anyone know if a PS3 hitbox controller and Madcatz PS3 TE fightstick works on the PC I believe they are supposed to but I have never tried.

Hopefully I will get to try out Squigly tonight anyway. If not I suppose it will just be money flushed down the drain and I will have to wait for the PS3 release.

Looks like the PC may be getting some decent fighters now though with Skullgirsl, KOFXIII, Ultra Street fighter 4 (not on windows live) Yatagarusa among others and its free online which is nice unlike say 360, Xbox One and PS4 (I hate paying more for online, so I dont).

Ok just to let people know a PS3 hitbox controller does work on PC woohoo! unfortunately Skullgirls doesnt work in full screen on my comp/tv it says mode not supported and then completely locks my PC up so I had to pull it at the plug and now when I start it up it goes into the unsupported mode and locks up so I am having to wipe and reinstall it which has pissed me off immensely (every time I try steam some shit like this happens).

On a more positive note I tried Squigly in arcade mode in the open beta version and she is awesome. I didnt look at the move list but I found out quite few of her moves just by experimenting (actual Dragon punch and a divekick as well hell yeah!) and I love her jumping hard punch (dat range) and multiple jumps (cant remember if its two or three now).

I didnt get off many combos obviously but I really like how she feels same with Valentine (my old main if you could call her that). Oh and her walk animation is great. Anyway I think I will be making that Valentine, Squigly team once my reinstall is complete and I am playing in crappy windowed mode.

If anyone more tech savvy can solve my problem or explain it to me I would be grateful.

I almost forgot how well this game is animated its just gorgeous probably one of the best fighters ever in that regard but then again I have been playing Injustice a fair bit recently and one thing that game isnt is well animated, the character models also bug me but the fighting is fun and Zatanna has some great moves to watch like 52 card pickup its just a shame her normals are garbage.

EDIT: Ok solved the issue I am sure to many of you it would be simple and obvious but since no one responded and helped I will post the solution here in case other people are as ignorant as me on the issue.

If it dosent run in full screen mode go to the Skullgirls folder on the PC and delete your saved Video settings and reboot yeah simple when you know eh. I really wish I could run it in full screen mode though I dont know why it dosent work and window mode just bugs me its just not the same.

At last found time to play a little with the game I was waiting for a long time: Skullgirls.

Even I only played Arcade mode and 2 matches online [btw, the other players annihilated me...purr Ms. Fortune...]

As you guessed, I only tested Ms. Fortune. Glorious characters. I really enjoy kicking my own head for a massive damage!!!

Btw, I get a card from Steam. This time have Squigly on it. What I do with it?

I havent tried online yet is the competition pretty steep?

As for the characters some are awesome my favourites are Valentine, Peacock and Squigly but some of the moves are even better imo like Ms Fortunes Nom Nom Nom move Squiglys Dragon Punch (proper Dragon Punch Valentines level 3 and Peacock has her finger poke move, blow cigar smoke in the opponents face and my all time favourite the Goodfellas move where she sticks you in a sack and calls some friends round to smash your face in.

I cant use Peacock well though I am more of a up close and personal kinda guy although I was thinking that Squigly would go well with Cerebella for almost instant fullscreen grabs and with Peacock there has gotta be a setup with that large bomb and squiglys screen moving assist.

I am going to have a go later and also try and get full screen mode working.....again. Because I wont get another go until the weekend after tonight. I have noticed combos have changed slightly my short but damaging Valentine combos dont work no more oh well if it means I dont have to watch for 30 seconds while some pro one hit kills me I am ok with that (but I bet there are still one touch death combos, luckily they were stupidly hard before hopefully now they are even harder)

I wish Eliza was coming next Big Band is cool and all but Eliza is the one I am waiting for well Squigly was the one but Eliza is second.

Whats happening with the extra voices though or are they already in and I have missed them?

 

[Ruzinus]

Loving this game.

Hating myself a bit because I can't find my fightpad, but the commands are all simple enough and the recognition software is good enough that I'm generally okay playing with a 360 pad, which is a bit mindblowing.

 

[Pink Gregory]

You kids and your accurate and appropriate control methods, I'm using a keyboard.

I'm hardcore to the maxx.

Actually, the keybord is Better than the controler.
Think about it for a second:
The most veteran players buy Arcade Sticks to have better advance in the game.
Isn't somehow the same with the keyboard?
Sure, the Arcade stick have bigger buttons, but the idea is the same.
Am I wrong?

Glad to hear you enjoy the game
I hope when I finish with my work to play a little again before I go to sleep.

Mmmm, If I want to create a team, I would choose Ms. Fortune, Double and Squigly. I don't know what kind of stratagy I will have, but I hope to find something.

Also I don't know about the voices too. But I have other question:
What happen with the NPC characters some backers paid?

I remember one of the backers mentioning a casion stage or somesuch at one point. I'm pretty sure there isn't one in there right now, so maybe the stage and background characters will be added with some of the later DLC.

Actually, I think I saw the Casino Stage. However I didn't saw none of the NPC that they were supposed to be here...
Maybe because some backers didn't send their characters to the LabZero, didn;t had time to released the NPCs...

Really? I've played a good few maps and didn't see it.
Ah well. They'll either some along or it'll probably be explained at some point.

Yep, I am now 100% positive because I checked the stage in Skullgirls Wikia and it is the same.
Strangly enough in some Casino Stage's photos in Wikia I can see some NPCs, but not in the actual game.
See and example to see what I mean:

Well, add me on Steam and message me when you're ready, my name's my Escapist name. I'm probably as bad as you, so don't be scared. What character are you maining? I'm maining Squigly.

Innarestingly, I'm attempting to main Filia and Squigly.

Also, I think 'main' may be a little too highfalutin to describe me at the moment.
