Slighty different?

Good lord

Nice and all, but probably 4-5 months too late. Skullgirls is all but dead at this point.

No new characters? Still not buying it, especially with ALL the dev team laid off, as that basically says "no DLC characters incoming"

And I love how someone said their was "big things coming" and it's just a balance patch and more colors >_>

The reason why they have not been able to put in any new characters yet.

Sweet patch is out, As is game easily worth $15

i wish it was out for XBL. Damn approval systems

Just installed this monster update. Gonna try later this week. :)

#3 #4 #5 are all talking out of their asses.

I'm considering buying the PS3 version even though I don't have a PS3 stick just so I don't have to wait for the 360 version, even though it's probably not that far off.

@10 They actually all have valid points, it's just that their opinions differ from yours, so you get butthurt and say they're talking out of their asses. I agree with them. I wasted my 15 bucks on this game, and it's all but dead. Hardly anyone online.

Is the closest one of the three to be remotely a "valid point" since its been months since release and player interest may have wane since(Which is a natural thing not the game fault) , but releasing the patch to gauge interest again (Which is working since the srk forums topic with Mike Z and Peter appearing recently you can easily find people there to get gamertag/psn info.) is the smarter choice then the alternative of doing nothing and letting your game die. Thought people would learn this already with seeing how much Capcom is trying to fix SFxT

#5
Considering that balance patch is roughly 596 MB worth of content(Including a fixed superior online where people already tested with great results) and including some cosmetics for good measure for free to give the playerbase something for the short term so in the longterm under LabZero if things go well they can start focusing on dropping PC port and potential dlc

Made the least sense and reeks of ignorance.

-Autumn Games Own the Skullgirls IP
-Reverge Labs is no more for Skullgirls (In the patch you see the logo replace with Lab Zero in the opening and in the Medici Stage)
- Lab Zero is formed (Consisting of the same people)
-Autumn Games fully supports Lab Zero handling any Skullgirls developments.

Been stated by Mike Z that Future SG developments is still very much possible after they get footing back.

Becoming Lab zero does not mean "No dlc characters incoming" and be honest you would not even buy the game anyway if it were to happen since apparently you care about roster size over gameplay

Not Surprised Illness would see these "valid points" anything more then garbage. Learn the difference between opinion and ignorance. Quit bitching about your $15 down the drain, your fault if your gonna vocally regret everything you purchase instead of becoming the smart consumer and analyze everything beforehand

@12 Another butthurt commenter that gets mad every time someone says something about their favorite game that they disagree with. There is a difference between opinion and ignorance, you should know, you spout the most ignorance on this site. You constantly make know it all posts, and if someone dares disagree with you, you immediately go all out and attack. The only games I said I regretted purchasing was DOA and this game, the former because it's a buttomashing boobfest, and the latter because it simply became boring. I am entitled to vocalizing whatever buyers remorse I have about any game I want on any post, and if you have a problem with it, then by all means, don't read the comment. It's getting creepy how you follow me around on this website. I might have to change my username. Ugh. Don't preach to me about videogames bro, they're just videogames.

@13
I bought this game on day 1 (us psn) because I got really excited by all the great promotion it got from notable information sources of fighting games: eventhubs, srk, ultrachentv and so on. I informed myself as much as possible before spending those 15$.

Unfortunately (or not!) I'm living in europe and I was one of the few who bought it. There was no one to play with, especially with the euro/us problem of matchmaking.

I don't think any patch would make this game popular because the game is not appealing.

I believe this is because the roster is EXTREMELY bland and unattractive:

I can understand many people loving P4A and Blazblue because the characters in thse games are very close to the archetype characters of manga comics. This makes it easier to make a personal bond with the cast/game.

Obviously the street fighter cast is a 25 year old legacy that is in our hearts and minds because we were playing the game as kids in the arcade and we watched the movies, read the comics and learned to love that bunch of fictitious characters.

Same goes for Mortal Kombat and this also explains the very clear distinction between MK fans and SF fans.

Tekken managed to conquer the world of 3d fighting games with their excellent ps version of the game, everyone in the world had a ps1 and everyone with a ps1 had tekken3, even though I don't really like the game I can say the character variety depth and style allow for many people to fall in love with the game.

And I think Marvel vs Capcom has a business card that speaks for itself in this topic.

Then there is skullgirls with a style that isn't manga but more cartoon networkish. Characters are the ones you would find in an amateur american comic book. They are new so no one has any bond with them and they have such a niche style that it's really hard to relate and find interest in them.

In conclusion I feel like I spent my 15$ over a game I couldn't initially (5 months!) play. And to be honest I believe no one who didn't pick it up back when it was released will get it after this patch.
The money is wasted if I think of what I got out of it but I don't feel bad because "it's only 15 bucks" and I like the idea of supporting the team for their unprecedented work although I think they didn't nail it at all with the style/scenario.

@14 schizophrenia?

Pains me to say this since i swore to play this game hardcore but didnt but; do people even play this still?

@3: Not sure why anyone would hold a funeral for a game they presumably don't care about, or bash it with a shovel when it shows signs of life like this article. Otherwise you'd be out there supporting it.

@13/Hooligan, Love how you know what I'm thinking and what I'd get. Also the original "promise" was and I quote: "I'm going to confirm here and now that Squigly and Umbrella are not going to be in the core game,and both will be >early< DLC characters." 6 months later and not a peep is not a good sign that we're getting them. Roster is a point of contention because if I don't like the characters (the only 2 I did sort of like character wise are Ms.F and Double, but I don't like gameplay wise.) or how they play why would I drop 15 dollars?

Also if you read the other article (covering RL being killeed and remade into LZG) it says " the release of the first DLC character has been indefinitely(aka until further notice/most likely canceled) postponed."

I still; play this game from time to time. filia looks to be better, and they seem to have not touched valentine much. the games seems completely different, but the game has always been beautiful.
