Mike Z considering speeding up Skullgirls by 3%, bringing sped-up version to WNF this week

Gotta go fast

What an interesting prospect to increase the speed of the aesthetics, but the technical stuff like frame-data be intact. It would be something to observe this change.

AHA! Turbo it is then! Jolly good! *Sips tea*

Been sayin for a while now bout how this game NEEDS a 3% speed increase, at last someone finally listened.

Add 1 second to the timer, reduce each hitbox by a single pixel and boost damage by 1.4328766% acros the board (except for painwheel for obvious reasons) and the game will be pretty much perfect.

Really wanted to support this game but I couldn't get into this game because everything felt so sluggish for me. I also hoped for some sort of Turbo mode to speed up the game.

But if it's only 3% what's the point, you'll piss off some people that liked the way it is, and if 3% doesn't really change anything, it's not gonna bring the new players that wants a faster game.

I really hope if Mike Z is gonna offer a Turbo mode just make it 150% or 200% faster...

Ah yes, a most necessary change!

I definitely want the game to be faster. I hope Mike Z follows through with this.

1.4328766 Percent capcomdointhingsright? How delightfully specific. Good show, I say!

Fix the online!!!!!!! For gods sake, can you please add ping filtering?? Right now its almost impossible to find people with good ping in my area, a lobby with pings or an option to find people closes to you would be VERY welcome....

any word on when the patch with 3% speed and other adjustments is coming?

Mike's Filia at faster speeds... NO NO NO

Garbage day indeed.

Filia will be all over the screen, but as a vampire savior player I can appreciate skullgirls being faster.

Oh... I hope he someday enables MvC2 turbo 2...
I'll buy the game that day.

So if it doesn't affect game-play then that means the timer will not be sped up correct? I approve of this idea. It'll kinda make long combos a bit more bearable not that I have a problem with them. Teching throws will be even more of a beeyotch though.

@#15 HASJ:
Buy the game now, so that Reverge Labs can have even more funding to add stuff like that for free.

In comparison, how fast were the turbo settings in SF2 compared to vanilla?

I dunno it seems to have a pretty good speed right now, but I suppose Mike is a GG fan.

This guy is out of control. I could understand a 2.85% speed up, but a whole 3 percent!!!?? Seriously?????

How about more characters? Just an idea.

I approve of this. I'm glad Mike Z considered community input over something thats aesthetic. This will only just make the game even more healthy in the tourney scene as it grows.

Umbrella, and Squigly are already confirmed while a playable Marie is all but officially confirmed. They will have more time creating more characters and other content to improve the game the moment the patch gets shipped according to reverge

wish we could let a version of any modern fighter marinate for awhile. always with the patches.

@ 12

My thoughts exactly...her crap is gonna be harder to get around.

That idea got shot down today. Adding speed options would most likely split the community over stuff such as X speed is the "true" SG format. Also a hassle for tourneys like how Gems were. They just created a tourney mode to make the process easier. The speed options would be counter-productive.

It is AWESOME that Mike takes what we say under consideration. I voted to keep the speed just the way it is. I really really like the animation and the current build very much shows it off. Either way I absolutely trust Mike and the SkullGirls team so I'm certain whatever changes are made they will be good ones overall. Go to SRK and vote!

The game is fine as is. Mike needs to quit fan pandering his project before he ruins it.

Don't try to fix something that isn't broken Mike......

I like ketchup on my fries if you get my drift

I'm intrigued. Maybe we should wait for tonight to see it.

Nice that MikeZ is still working and perfecting his game, it proves how passionate he is about it. SS is more than legit.

I hope they increase the grab tech window by 11%.

@ #12 higher game speeds favor rush down characters IMO.

PC gonna get the best version

You know I've always wondered if the game should be sped up because when I switch from 3S or UMvC3 or even SFAE I feel like I really have to slow down so I don't move to fast for the game. I think this is a good idea.
