Skullgirls release date April 4th according to Xbox Live Marketplace

YESSSSSSSSSSS

YESSSSS but at the same time NOOOOOOO. I need more time with my new games. Soul Calibur V and Street Fighter X Tekken are still pretty dang new. FIGHTING OVERLOAD. :I

I'm a bit worried about 2 player online with no mention of lobbies...

Kind of a deal breaker for me since I have 4 friends who like to play fighting games at once.

Flipping finally.

Team PAINCOCK!

lol Pain cock, that picture was something I couldn't unsee

Sweeeeeeeeet! Finally! !

no. one. cares.

@ButterKnife

Yeah it's already been confirmed the game won't launch with lobbies for multiple people, but apparently they're working to patch that in at a later time...

Lol

Finaly, I have been in this launch party errday!

Indie companies can make online 2-player co-op, but Capcom can't. ^_^

@11
Actually they did, its only ps3 though ^_^

What? This game doesnt have co-op... for now...

It's probably worth mentioning that Fez was also recently given a release date on XBLA, and when asked the developer said it was a random made up placeholder date. Release dates for XBLA games seem to usually get decided only a few weeks before release.

What #14 says holds water, MS is historically really...bad when handling XBLA dates.

@ #7

Actually yeah, quite a few people do care. Around 10,000 at the very least according to their Facebook page.

It's cool if you don't, but please don't act as if speak for the rest of us.

@16

Wow a WHOLE 10,000?

Good lord. Welp, guess I was wrong.

PC date?

Guess early Q1 has turned into early Q2

Bootleg Arcana Hearts: Gaijin Edition

I feel like I've been waiting for this game for ages. I'm hoping this really is the release date.

game looks boring

@23

You are the definition of the phrase "culture of entitlement."

Schweeet

ALL of you should get on SFXT and forget about skullgirls. Seriously.

@ 27
umm....no?

@26 it doesn't even matter. The people that wanted this game are going to buy it regardless of it being released close to SC5, and Rolento X tekken.

Hell I plan on trading in my SFXT as soon as I get my hands on this game.

I'm sure EdgeMasterr also recommends having unprotected sex with prostitutes.

I love how this kids put a low budget game like skullgirls in the same level as a multi million dolar product like Sfxt. That says a lot about how good Reverge Labs is doing things and how bad capcom is handling their products.

@27
i agree

yea lets get on sf x tekken when online so enjoyable right now. i mean wow its totally awesome that it takes people 5 minutes to get into a single rank match. oh yea how about those sound effects and online glitches huh? its soo great >__>.

I enjoy sf x tekken too

@33

I agree, it's a great game.

lol just get both... Street fighter x tekken is a good game if you overlook the bad marketing schemes on capcom part. Skullgirls is interesting and looks fresh and has a lot of positives like nicely drawn art, creative animation frames, and cool toolsets for each character. ok 8 characters on launch for an indy title is not horrible especially since each character seems to be crafted with excessive detail and didn't a lot of fighting game series games in the past start with small roster? lol how we tend to forget.. and DLC is already confirmed for more characters obvious from the empty roster slots. posts like #27 and #32 are clearly shallow minded individuals who would not leave their comfort zones of games their used to and would halt the advances of the fgc

@36
leave there comfort zones? I own and play every and all fighting games. Street fighter, mortal kombat, blazblue, mvc, soul calibur, tekken, KOF, DOA. So dont go blabbing about your opinion of peoples comfort zones when you have no idea who you are talking about. Keep your judgmental comments to yourself.

@37 And that gives you right to say what others should choose? I don't think so. I'll be buying both SFxT and Skullgirls.

@38
calm down sunshine. if you want to waste your money, go for it. But I can tell you now, skullgirls will last a couple of weeks and die out. Youll be sorry you even paid for it.

This game is mad haipu. :3

@3 it has been confirmed that this game will have no lobbies since the developers couldn't get it working in time.

@7 Keep in mind this game is relatively new so it's going to start small. Then depending on how people like it or no,t it will either grow or wilt. Btw no one said you had to play the game anyway.

"go play sfxt"? Typical,i could of sworn humans arent a bunch of drones that follows the rest of the swarm,not everyones gonna like the same name brand jar of honey,everyones entitled to their own options.

@39 I didn't sit around moping about my last order to Papa John's, and Skullgirls will probably cost less than that. Let's hear some of the other goofy reasons not to try this game:

"It won't help me pay my taxes in April." -- Yep. that's true.

"It's made in America." -- American startups are stealing our jobs!

"It has the boobs in it." -- OMG!!!!

Btw, did you guys know that the promo poster up there is composed almost entirely of in-game sprites? Pret-ty cool.

i hope this is true. the skullgirls crew is being too quiet recently....

rip capcom

@39 Yeah sure just say im the stupid one that will waste his money and leave it at that. Even so if you think 15$ will hurt me then it seems you must be really bad with money. Don't start discusion if you can't put arguments till end.

@ Snivy

Let me put it another way:

For a small startup company with no previously established IP's under their belt, that amount of support is a big deal. That and the positive feedback from those within the FGC who HAVE ACTUALLY PLAYED game, myself included.

I'm not going to be naive and say it will outdo your average Capcom game numbers wise, again because Reverge is tiny and doesn't have the finance or resources to do that. But there's enough of a following behind it that it will grow within its own sector of the community and be a successful venture in it's own right for the group of people who made it.

And quite frankly, I would think that with a name like "SNIVY", you would know a thing or two about supporting a game that other people unjustly hate on.

@47
"cant put arguments till end?"
oh lol, we were supposed to be arguing? If your going to turn everything into an argument, you must have one pretty sad life son. You do what you want but I know that you'll regret buying it after trying it out.
So long.

@49

Oh cool, you have an early copy you've tried?
