Skullgirls SRK wiki project

Pizzarino — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 19:39:07 +0000

EDIT: Hey go check this out: http://wiki.shoryuken.com/Skullgirls

Just throwing this out there, Skulldudes:

I submitted an application for SRK wiki access a few days ago. No reply yet, but understandable considering they made that front page writer application posting in the same week. I'm not going out of my way to press any mods to approve me just yet, but I am actively working on wiki material already. I have pages already done for the 4 existing characters that include complete accurate move lists and all move names and properties that have been publicly shown so far. Details currently behind NDAs will come in due time. I was tempted to first post 4 complete character threads on this forum last night, but then that wouldn't be any fun for anyone else, would it?

I have a Skullgirls basic controls and game systems page in progress, and it will be huge. It would be nice to live up to the example set by the Super Turbo wiki. I understand Master Chibi is working on a FAQ thread for this forum, so if anyone else out there has an instinct to write out guide material for this game reply or send me a PM and we can collaborate.

Examples of some things I'd like to see:
• Send me an already done movelist. I'll lay out a character thread in this forum, add written move descriptions, add basic strategy tips or a character synopsis, and be more than happy to port this work over to the SRK Skullgirls wiki when it's up.
• Show me a WIP game systems page. I'll poke at it and write out the most thrilling "hold back to block" section you've ever seen in your life, then add all the loose information from the Reverge posts and interviews that are already online.
• I have the photoshop skills to add Skullgirls themed custom icons and symbols to pretty up any wiki page.

The MVC3 wiki was very complete and very useful right as the game was released. We have a little less hype pushing Skullgirls, but if all of us enthusiasts in community can start working together now and keep it going for the next few months we can give this awesome new game the same treatment.

Which DLC character will YOU vote for?

Overlord_Haze — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 00:57:30 +0000

We have raised an large amount of money for Skullgirls in such a short span of time, we might need to start thinking about who our DLC votes will be going to! Let's see if we can have a pseudo-poll/discussion here and see if we can get an idea of who the most popular characters are.

Share your choice below, and reference which silhouette your character fits on the mystery sheet.

Personally, I want to see Brain Drain from the second row, second from the end.

"Order up, One Minette, for here or to go?" Voter - "Here, please!"

Clawsome_Bombs — Sat, 04 May 2013 07:08:15 +0000

Minette. Take a look at her for a second.

What do you see here? I see someone who's ready to take on any challenge, whether it be serving the best food Little Innsmouth has to offer, or to take her profession to the battlefield. She is also seen as a cute girl who needs protection, as Ms. Fortune and Yu-Wan protects her with the utmost compassion. However, this is not necessarily true, for she is now being given a chance to stand up for herself and show everyone exactly what a daughter of the River King can do.
Minette can bring much to the cast of Skullgirls in the story and gameplay parts of the game. Her design also fits the "art style" of Skullgirls. Let's go through these points, shall we?

Story:
At the end of Ms. Fortune's story, Nadia comes back and is surprised to find out that Minette had been kidnapped, and sets out immediately to find her. Scene change to Minette's point of view. If included in the game, we would be able to see how she got kidnapped, why, and where she was taken. This will allow us to see into the Medici Mafia's inner workings, possibly garnering more info on the Mafia characters (Black Dahlia, Ottomo, all of the Cirque Des Cartes members except Hubrecht). Imagine if Black Dahlia was the warden for the daughters of the River King, and through Minette's story, you hear what the Medici's have planned for the daughters, or maybe Lorenzo Medici took them as a ransom for something else...
As you can see, Minette could possibly bring a lot out into the light, only being rivaled in story strength by Isaac or Marie. Similar to those two, Minette has a style all her own. Let's talk about that next.

Gameplay:

This video shows gameplay from a character called Coyori, a character from a game called Battle Fantasia. Her stance (holding the platter effortlessly while fighting), and her broom attacks coupled with attacks with a pan (like Peach in SSBB) might be some stuff Minette would do herself.

*Thanks to Kawaii Freak for bringing Coyori to my attention*

Our favorite waitress from Yu-Wan's Restaurant has a few tricks up her apron to bring to the roster of Skullgirls. Her style is built around her profession, just doing her job while her customers fight for her in various ways.
Here's where one of her inspirations comes in, Kyosuke:

Looking at him at first glance, he looks like he has little to do with Minette herself, but her customers might garner their attacks from his patterns. Also, Mike Z has presented the possibility of him, the rest of the team and other characters in the game appearing as Minette's customers. (We might even get a Mike Zammich reference!)

They would also help her by giving her tips, which gives her "confidence" (akin to "evidence" for Wright and "PP" for Frank). Getting enough of this "confidence" grants her the power to overcome her weaknesses. This means she will start out clumsy at Level 1 and get less and less clumsy. Being the daughter of the River King, this max confidence level could possible bring out her feral side. Look at the River King here (he is to the left of Eliza, right above Valentine):

If Minette is related to that by blood, it could open up some really cool Dagonian power type stuff (like vicious bites, water powers, etc). She might even undergo some kind of transformation...
This possible feral transformation is not what Minette is about on the surface, though. You can see what she is all about as by looking at her design, which we will talk about next.

Design:
Minette's design is, admittedly, very underwhelming at first sight. Although, it is a simple design, it goes straight to the point. An apron and head necklace with a shell (probably to represent her Dagonian heritage). Nothing more, nothing less. Her design gives you the sense of where's she's from, and what she's all about: a hard working Dagonian just doing what she does best. This simple pure design fits into the art style Skullgirls goes for (this point can be up for grabs, as is whether the design of a character is good or not is purely an opinion).

In conclusion, Minette is a character that might not be the sexiest, or the strongest, but she has a charm all her own that could really breathe fresh air into Skullgirls and into fighting games as a whole. I realize you all have your favorite characters, and I respect that. In this coming vote, I suggest that you vote for Minette. Vote for fun gameplay. Vote for Mike Z as an attack. Vote for customer service. Vote for this Dagonian princess. Vote Minette.

What's the current status of Skullgirls on 360?

SolidSonicTH — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:19:52 +0000

Did I buy this game on the wrong platform?

Last I heard the Slightly Different Edition patch was still "in approval" on Xbox 360. Now Squigly is starting to be finalized, which probably means more clog on the 360 front once she's finished.

I know MS is pretty mean about getting content approved for Xbox LIVE Marketplace but I never thought they'd be this hard to work with.

I just downloaded a 304kb update for 360

Voting for Round 2 has started! I'm supporting D.Violet, Dat Force Crouch!

MWisk_2 — Mon, 06 May 2013 14:06:10 +0000

Hey guys, voting 2 has started today. It's shorter and with a new voting system. You have only 3 DAYS to vote and you'll rank the characters you like. After the initial 30 characters (no Juju due to the legal complications), the next round will be the Top-20 and then the Top-10.

I would like also to voice my support as a competitive player to D.Violet, cuz she has many awesome ideas and inspirations, and I looooove her Force Crouch mechanic. That thing would be specially awesome to see in action and to allow lots of crazy setups and mixup possibilities.

You can vote for everyone you like, but since it's a ranking system, consider keeping D.Violet as high as possible on your list if you want to show some support to this mechanic. If the dominatrix/sensual themes are too much for you and you don't feel ready for it, that's okay, it's your issues, but remember that the FGC has many icons that follows the same suit (Mai, Morrigan, Cammy, Juri, Poison, etc.). Mike was also wanting to make a gameplay prototype for Violet, but unfortunately I don't think he'll have enough time to do it (Thanks MS).

Here's more Violet info:

ABOUT DEEP VIOLET and MRS VICTORIA:

As most of you may already know, Mrs. Victoria, the teacher at Filia's school and our great master in the Tutorial modes, and the horned devil lady known as D.Violet are actually different sides of a same coin. Yup, they're essentially the same person.

D.Violet is a super heroine-esque / vigilante persona of Mrs. Victoria. While by day she teaches the children and wanna be fighting gamers to become the greatest they can be, by night she hunts criminals, mob members and Skullgirl's minions with her deadly living weapon the Pazuzu Whip.

There are still lots of mystery surrounding D.Violet and Mrs. Victoria and it sure would be great to see them revealed and fleshed out.

PLAYSTYLE AND GAMEPLAY INSPIRATIONS:

A former crime fighter pulled into the web of intrigue woven around the latest Skullgirl. Deciding it was too much for her stuffy civilian identity, she takes up her Living Weapon, the Pazuzu Whip, to don her alter ego once more.

Playstyle Speculation

She may be less inhibited, but she still enjoys having control. Lick those boots!

Despite being a heroic character, her general attack style would have a pagan and demonic motif to it as well as a dominating aspect. Of course, she’d also be able to do some long distance attacks with her versatile snake whip. The weapon can grow multiple snake heads and change in rigidity as needed.

D. Violet may do special animations on herself in order to power up. If she reaches an intense enough level, she gains the ability to unleash wilder attacks. Similarly, she can curse the enemy with special attacks, putting them in a humiliation state and making them vulnerable to devastating special attacks. If the balance of power swings entirely in Violet’s direction, everything from their posture on up is in her complete control!

Gameplay Inspiration

Whip (King of Fighters series), Linda (Double Dragon), Poison (Final Fight, Street Fighter), Mizuki/Midori/Luna/Misa (Punisher arcade), I-No (Guilty Gear series), Spiderman (Marvel vs. Capcom series), Johnny Cage (Mortal Kombat), Bayonetta, Masane (Witchblade anime), Mistress Spencer (Rumble Roses), Morrigan (Darkstalkers series), Wonder Woman (DC Comics), Phantom Lady (Quality Comics), Bettie Page, Humiliation meter (Rumble Roses), Zappa (Guilty Gear series), Holy Order Sol (Guilty Gear Series), Fatal K.O. (Hokuto no Ken), Vice (King of Fighters series)

== All character playstyle speculation and gameplay inspirations are subject to change,

and may be different in the final version ==

WHY VOTE D.VIOLET:

- One of her gameplay mechanics revolve around a Humiliation Meter and the possibilities that will open after having D.Violet in complete control of her opponent's morale.

- One of those possibilities is the Force Crouching.

- D.Violet can issue commands to the opponents and force them to crouch (therefore being vulnerable to overhead attacks).

- And she'll have others and it can be played around in many ways: She could force landings, assist calls, stuns, walking forward and whatever comes up in Mok's head.

- D.Violet has awesome gameplay possibilities and tons of resources that could be very deadly.

- Her moves would interact with other characters in the case, some of them will be for the special meter's sake. They'll probably require some new short animations and poses for the rest of the cast as well.

- Her whip influences could work for her mobility options (Spider-Man) and mid to long range spatial control.

- She was supposed to have a full demon form too, I'm not sure if that's still in though, where she's a gorgon Medusa.

- Her Zappa, Order Sol and Fatal K.O. influences could mean a full cool looking (and super impractical) instant kill animation just for the fun.

- Whip and Vice influences can also represent a strong mix between ranged and close rushdown.

- The Pazuzu Whip can assume many forms and works as a Serpent, who knows, maybe Poisons will be in her repertoire.

- Johnny Cage, Bayonetta, Poison etc influences? You know that will have all sorts of fun and hilarious results. xD

Skullgirls Salty Cupcakes w/ Maximilian

thebigbadwolfe — Mon, 06 May 2013 02:45:48 +0000

http://www.twitch.tv/eightysixed/b/398797176?t=120m19s

So I was watching the Salty Cupcakes stream and listened to the conversation between Mike Z and Maximillian talking about the good old days of gaming. My first impression is that these guys are total dinosaurs, the fact that I understood everything they were talking about made me feel old myself.

The first thing that I find interesting about Mike Z's personality, is that there is no off switch on his game designer brain. I never heard a person dislike a game based purely of the how the developers implemented their hit stun deterioration mechanics. And not surprisingly, Mike loves games that are extremely technical (MvC2, GGXX, 3rd Strike). He's good at most games, and even talked about how he was winning tournaments with Zangief in SF4, but he wasn't enjoying it. Even though SF4 is clearly one of the most popular fighting games, Mike Z seems to dislike it solely due to it's design.

However, I disagree his conclusion that today's fighting games are more "dumbed down" is due to the fact that the developers are lazy or don't play their own games. The truth is that even though I agree that the time of MvC2, GGXX, and 3rd Strike were the golden years of gaming, these games will never return. The problem with making a fighting engine extremely deep and technical is that incidentally it's also much more difficult to play! The designers of GGXX themselves said that their game was too complex, which is why they designed Blazblue to be much more simplified version of GGXX, and I know a lot of GG players (all?) hate BB.

http://shoryuken.com/2011/07/08/blazblue-producer-talks-crossovers-and-simplifying-fighting-games/

Basically, these badly designed new generation of fighting games with mechanics that arbitrarily restrict player skill sound horrible from a game design perspective, but they are also incredibly popular and profitable with newer players. Now Skullgirl's design makes a lot more sense to me. It's not really simply a niche doujin fighter with marvel mechanics, it's literally a homage (revival?) to old school fighting games.

Feng's super concept

WyvernSmasher — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 18:32:39 +0000

This picture illustrates an idea I had for One of Feng's super moves. This move takes advantage of both birds/Phoenix things, it'll probably be a level 2 or 3 super and enhances all of her normals and specials for a period of 20-25 seconds (unless that's too long).

Above is an illustration of how the start up animation could look. I'll describe what's happening in each image below.

1. This is just part of the idle animation (I know it looks very boring)
2. This is near the start of the super animation, she removes the birds from her hair and takes a stance ready to combine them (I didn't know much about the birds but I'm assuming the have ghost like properties, so forgive me for inaccuracies)
3. The two birds are combined and released from their bird forms (yet again I'm assuming a lot here)
4. The two entities are separated again resembling ectoplasm or some thing
5. This is the result of the super, basically they orbit in a clockwise direction. If the player remains still it will continue spinning till the 10 seconds are over

When activated both Phoenix orbit the user, depending on which Phoenix is directly in front of feng her immediate attack will be filled with its power. Regardless of which Phoenix is used however, they both extent the range of her moves (similar to lucario in SSBB when he receives more damage) as well as changing the properties of certain moves ie some moves causing stagger stages that couldn't before. I am assuming that her attacks take a while to come out so that the extra range isn't abused.

Outside of the range increase the Black and the White Phoenix have very different properties when used in moves. To aid in this demonstration below is a special move performed without activating the super (I tried basing it off of makoto's bullet punch move, yeah it's not perfect)

When performing the same move with the white Phoenix directly in front of her, it grants her the ability to regain a little more health with every strike. The damage dealt by the move stays the same. Illustration below.

Now performing the same move with the black Phoenix, it grants more damage than normal at the cost of recoil damage. Illustration below

Performing either of these will not stop the other Phoenix from orbiting, so mashing buttons to get the same ability again quickly will not be easy. Rather combos require timing to maximise damage or to recover the max amount of health. I don't know what kind of character she would be so in game these ideas might not work well.

Below is an image of the wheel that spins behind her.

One last detail, when the super is activated and she is swapped to another character the effects remain and when feng is called as an assist the ability still enhances her attacks. However since the wheel still turns even when the character is off screen it's hard to tell if the attack is amplified with the black or white Phoenix power, this mean if you are low on HP mashing the assist could kill you as the effect of the Phoenix is passed onto the active character

Phew that was a lot of work putting this together, all of this was done on an iPad (even drawings). Any way I hope something like this creates more interest in the character when it comes time to vote.

EDIT: I have change a few details, and beefed up the move a bit

Need Help Learning SkullGirls (Ps3)

Nathan Prince — Sun, 05 May 2013 12:26:16 +0000

As the title suggests, really need some help learning skullgirls, ive decided to take a break from my main game (SFxT) and focus more of my time into this and Persona 4 arena when it comes out. Ive currently done all of the lessons in tutorial mode, and still dont get the hang of the combo system and how to make them. Just a starting point i guess is what i need or something who could possibly tell me the ins and outs of the game, what to do and what not to do sort of thing. The characters i feel most comfortable with are peacock and Ms Fortune, they may not work on the same tea,, but i really like them both. any help or tips guys that you could give would really more a lot. My psn is Nathan_Stathan.

Skullheart: The New (Official) Skullgirls Forum!

Zidiane — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 23:52:12 +0000

Juuuuust in case you didn't know already, a new forum popped up recently. Skullheart! Even if you have no plans on moving from SRK (even though you can be at both forums) you should check it out. It has some really nifty things there, and several Skullgirl players already visit. So, if you ain't one of 'em, you need to re-prioritize your internet time for a minute!

Vote Mrs.Victoria

Peacock — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:22:35 +0000

She is really awesome, and she is a teacher who'll mimick other fighting game moves. I really want to see her do a shoryoken and a sonic boom.

Also as nice as she was to teach us how to play the game the least we could do is have her in the game as a playable character lol

Hey all, post up fan art you've made of skullgirls or just awesome pieces you come across on the internet! If you quote an image break the tag so you don't quote the image itself!

I'll start with a piece I did of fillia. This is the final piece and where I stopped.\

Hair is tough. But I learned a lot through this piece and can use it for future work!

Predict the 20 characters you "honestly" see making it to round 2

Monkey66 — Mon, 06 May 2013 23:48:05 +0000

Not a wishlist or who you'd like to see. No matter how much you love or hate a character, it's who you actually see making round two.

I think It'll be

1.Umbrella
2.Marie
3.Black Dhalia
4.Annie
5.Ilium
6.Feng
7.Talisin
8.Minette
9.Beowulf
10.Scythana
11.Panzerfaust
12.Molly
13.Isaac
14.Venus
15.Aeon
16.Stanley
17.Roxie
18.Mrs.Victoria
19.Deep Violet
20.Brain Drain

Some of these characters may look like someone you wouldn't think would make it, but from what I saw characters like Ilium and Mrs.Victoria seem to be getting way more love then they did before. So who do guys think will make round 2?

Final character has been decided.

Dragonage2ftw — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 00:19:30 +0000

Supposedly, the final character has been decided. Accourding to Peter, one of the characters has gotten so many votes that even if everyone else that hasn't voted all voted on one other character that wasn't aforementioned character, this character would still make it in.
EDIT: This is coming from something Peter posted on eventhubs, btw.

Who are you voting for the next round?

Monkey66 — Sun, 05 May 2013 21:20:50 +0000

Everyone sounds cool, but I want the best and who I think could offer more as of now. So I'll be voting

1.Minette (her style is interesting, the whole clumsy waitress who fights while serving food and gains confidence which will give her another kind of way to fight sounds awesome. Plus no other character has Mike Z and the rest of the dev team helping a character as there customers. And she is one of Mike's favorites)

2.Brain Drain (his attitude and style sound great, especially when he could control the opponents mind and make them fight there teammates, just wonder how nice that'll be when fighting Marie)

3.Hubrect (I like his whole childish attitude, although he is a strong man, he also gives a cute playful feel to him. And its cool that he isn't even trying to fight but will still hurt the opponent)

4.Roxie (a engineer who'll fight using old engines, engine parts and tools sounds great. Fighting with a hammer, rivet guns, and a properler as a blade, that is something I'd love to see in a fighting game)

What about you guys?

ROUND 4!!! FIGHT!!!!

Alright well, here it is folks. Round 4. From happy beginning days, to the fever pitch of the waifu wars, we have survived to make it here. This is to follow up that one guy's round 3 poll. But now it is really accurate because it is one vote just like the current round. So I ask of you fellow skullgirls players. Who is it that you shall vote for? But remember my brothers and sisters, this is for all the chips. All the marbles. This is the final countdown................until the next poll. So choose wisely.

In the end which characters do you think the community will choose for DLC character additions

Honor Basquiat — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 05:17:52 +0000

I don't mean who do you want, but who do you expect to be in the final 4 and the final 2 to actually be? Why do you expect them? Also who do you expect to get eliminated early?

I have this theory that generally, characters that were revealed later have a greater chance of getting further because the hype for these characters is more fresh. In particular, I see Molly and Issac probably making it to round 2 if not further. Especially Issac, in large part due to the hype Mike Z created around him (Mike is widely respected in the community by everyone), and the concept video we saw. I also anticipate Marie getting far, just because she's quite iconic (boss character) and players who really enjoy the story mode believe her inclusion would bring a lot to the game. I anticipate Umbrella to get fairly far (at least 3rd round) because players have known about her for such a long time and imagined playing with her before. I think a similar case can be made about Panzerfaust. Stanely, like Issac, is a character that I can see making the top 8, because although he's quite esoteric, the community saved him before and has grown attached to him.

Andy is a character I can see getting eliminated early on because most people don't like playing characters with just punches (i.e. Dudley, Steve, etc.). Minette may get eliminated early because many players don't like "cute" characters (or joke characters) and other cute characters like Umbrella and Annie seem much more popular. I anticipate Hubrecht to get eliminated early because he's a grappler (generally unpopular in fighting games) and he has one of the shortest playstyle descriptions among all the characters so there is less to get excited about.

Guess for top four: Issac, Marie, Panzerfaust, Stanley

The Final Four! (There will be salt)

Honor Basquiat — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 08:09:08 +0000

Round 3 of the Great Character Wars is complete, resulting in the following 4 survivors, in alphabetical order.

Aeon
Annie
Eliza
Minette

Boy, Dime is going to be salty as all hell, lol

Minette might be able to actually win this thing! This is pretty freaking awesome. Don't know if I'll vote for Annie or Minette, but certainly one of them.

Who's salty? Who expected it? Who's hyped?

So, apparently people keep asking for donation refunds.

Dragonage2ftw — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 15:55:13 +0000

The reason? It's because their favorite characters got knocked out of the polls.

Not only is this beyond petty, but theirs going to be a second poll. What's wrong with these people?

Reach for the Skies! Skullgirls Donation Bounty Thread

DarkBlade77 — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 15:40:05 +0000

Welcome to the Skullgirls Bounty Thread, ladies and gentlemen. Here you'll find a lot of who-the-hell knows tasks for hire, all with some damn good pay... because you can't put a price on saving breasts everywhere.

No clue where I'm going with this? Q&A time.

***

Q: Okay, what the hell are Bounties?
A: This is something I 'thought up' from observing Smashboards earlier(imitation is the most sincere form of flattery) and IMO, a good way to help keep the donation money going all the way up to Thursday when everyone knows the big guns will be rolling in.

Bounties are simple: You post a task-any task-with a $$$ reward, and if someone completes it, the reward is you donating that $$$ to breast cancer research on behalf of Skullgirls.

Make the bounty posts in this thread. Be very clear what you want someone else to do, and be very clear how much money you plan on offering. I will log this information and add it to the OP multiple times a day.

You can make the task as hard as you want(no illegal crap or breaking the ToS), and offer as much money as you want. But if you're just playing around or you don't pay up when someone fairly meets your terms, expect to get shitlisted. The reverse is true too: if you offer to meet a bounty and it's found that you're having a joke at everyone's expense, don't expect you can get away with a repeat performance. (full disclosure: I am no mod, but I expect the community response--including mods--to be swift and terminal.)

Some example bounties:

"I'm putting up $100. Donate $50 to Skullgirls and show me the receipt."

"$30 if someone can teach me how to pushblock-cancel in Skullgirls."

"$200 to whoever can take me down in a FT5."

Q: There are a bunch of other donation drive events going on this week. Why this thread?

A: Why not?

To be a little more serious, part of the reason why I'm making this thread is that not everyone has the time to be around during donation events or follow them. Part of it is to give some incentive to donating in general, and to let people who are on the fence about giving away their money get something extra out of it.

Q: Sweet, so how do I claim a bounty someone's posted?
A: Quote the bounty post, and say that you're taking it in this thread. The person holding the bounty has the right to refuse, but I will consider the bounty as claimed by you unless the bounty-holder actually makes a post expressing their refusal. If it looks like a bounty-holder is abusing this right to fool around, or if someone is spam-claiming bounties with no intention to do anything with them... you know the drill. Contact the bounty-holder by PM after you've made a claim. If you need to use some other method of conversation than PMs for whatever reason, you can share contact info in this thread.

Some bounties would be annoying to 'claim' by their nature, so if you want the bounty to be open to whoever gets in contact with you instead of 1-guy claims, just say so when you post the bounty.

Q: Okay, so someone completed my Bounty. What now?
A: If the person claiming your bounty has met your terms, then you donate the promised money to breast cancer. Take a screenshot of your donation receipt and post it in this thread(including the timestamp), saying that your bounty has been met. If the person who claimed your bounty did so in a way that used visual proof(like donation-matching receipts), feel free to post that proof as well.

I will be keeping track of bounties in this thread to the best of my ability until the donation drive ends on Thursday. I will be logging open bounties, claimed bounties, a shitlist(please don't make me actually have to do this), completed bounties, total money raised for Skullgirls!breast cancer from bounties, and the top 5 bounty hunters, by total value of the bounties they've completed and gotten others to complete. (If a bounty was money-matching, I will only count the value of the bounty itself towards the total for either participant. I will count the extra money towards total money raised, however.)

That leads me to one final question, though nobody should really be asking it...

Q: Donating or doing stuff for breast cancer is great and all, but what's in it for ME?
A: When the donation drive ends, I will be giving the top bounty hunter a custom arcade stick with some unique Skullgirls artwork provided by the artists here:

http://ravvlet.deviantart.com/

http://adomiel.deviantart.com/

I'll be commissioning the artwork based on the winner's preferences, as well as giving them the option of what internals(Sanwa/Seimitsu/etc) to use. The PCB will be a PS360+, and it will come with a default USB cable(PC/360/PS3) as well as as a Dreamcast cable. The body will likely be a modded Madcatz TE, though I'm also looking into the cheaper custom frames. Expect at least 1.5 months minimum for the stick to be assembled and sent to you; longer, if I end up getting a custom frame.

(If the winner isn't interested in an arcade stick, we can discuss an alternate reward.)

Second place will receive a poster of Skullgirls artwork provided by ravvlet(digital and a physical copy mailed to them).

Third place will will receive some Skullgirls artwork provided by Misty-Skye(digital-only).

***

Now that you know the rules, get to work! Thursday is right around the corner!

(Next post I make will have standings and current bounty information)

EDIT(1/30/2013): Originally, the top 3 were supposed to be ordered just by who put the most money/total effort towards breast cancer, meaning both people who create bounties and people who complete them. But since I've been getting complaints over putting them both in the same boat and using the term 'bounty hunter' to refer to both of them, I've decided to split them up. This effectively doubles the prize pool, and eats up the rest of the money I planned to donate. Don't make me regret doing this!

People who put up bounties and get them successfully completed will be referred to as Bounty-Givers, and they will now have their own standings in the second post. They will get the same 1st/2nd/3rd place rewards as Bounty Hunters! I haven't decided if the artists will be different for the lone art commissions, but the 1st place stick art commissions will very likely be from different artists, so look forward to it!

The deadline to submit a bounty is Thursday, 12PM PST. (2AM CST)

The deadline to complete a claimed bounty is Saturday, 10PM PST. (12PM CST)

Any SG tournout at Civil War?

Just wondering how many players showed up for the side tournament.

Meridian Rooftops - new stage

thatmegamega — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 17:53:49 +0000

Taken from the Skullgirls Facebook page, it's not clear if this is for any specific character yet.

I love the look of it, what do you think?

Win a Foe Hammer: Official (temporary) Skullheat Bounty Thread

BillyBones — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 12:25:58 +0000

[note: Skullheart is going to be down for a while (possibly through the end of the IGG campaign) and I know some of you are having a heart attack about the current Bounty race, so it's up here temporarily so you have a place to panic. I'm missing a few things: some of the claimed bounties are actually completed, and I don't have any of the reference art or templates for currently open bounties like MVKM's six sided symbol stick for instance, so please post those up if you have them. I'll make sure all new bounties posted here get carried back over to SH. The most important thing is that the money is into IGG by the end of the campaign, everything else we can find a way to work out once SH is back on its feet.]

You want some art like this?
You want a sculpture like this?
You want a stick like these?

Q: Okay, what the hell are Bounties?
Bounties are simple: You post a task-any task-with a $$$ reward, and if someone completes it, the reward is you donating that $$$ to the Indiegogo Campaign here: http://igg.me/at/skullgirls-dlc

Q. Any task?
Any task: Fighting game lessons, artwork, proofread an essay, help me with a webpage, get creative!

Make the bounty posts in this thread. Be very clear what you want someone else to do, and be very clear how much money you plan on offering. If you have a bounty hunter in mind you want handling the bounty, @ message them in the post so they know they have first crack at it. I've included a list of hunters at the end of this post with links to their work.

Q: Sweet, so how do I claim a bounty someone's posted?
Quote the bounty post, and say that you're taking it in this thread. The person holding the bounty has the right to refuse, but I will consider the bounty as claimed by you unless the bounty-holder actually makes a post expressing their refusal. Contact the bounty-holder by PM after you've made a claim.

Q: Okay, so someone completed my Bounty. What now?
A: If the person claiming your bounty has met your terms, then you donate the promised money to the indiegogo campaign. Take a screenshot of your donation receipt and post it in this thread (including the name you donated under and the amount the total was raised to. Your payment must be made AFTER you post the bounty. No old contributions will be accepted.), saying that your bounty has been met, along with the name you donated under if possible.

I will be keeping track of bounties in this thread to the best of my ability until the donation drive ends. I will be logging open bounties, claimed bounties, a shitlist(please don't make me actually have to do this), completed bounties, total money raised for the indiegogo campaign from bounties, the top bounty hunters by total value of the bounties they have completed, and the top bounty posters by total value of the bounties they have funded.

Q. But How much should I offer?
Offer whatever you feel comfortable with. If it's too low and you can't find someone you like you can always increase your offer. The higher your offer the more people will go crazy for it. But, you're pretty much guaranteed to find someone in the following bounty ranges:
$5-10: Simple line drawing or doodle.
$30-50: Detailed drawing, or how to play skullgirls lesson(perfect for those buying the $30 tier).
$75-100: simple stick art fitting your layout
$100-250: elaborate stick art
$300 and up: pretty much all the hunters in the thread will compete for your bounty. Feel to solicit drafts and choose your favorite to do your bidding as Maru has done. Remember the more you offer the hungrier they will be.
Sample List of Hunters Hungry for your Bounty (click for their work.)
Watermystic277, Verdant Brave, Speh(warning: very nsfw)
Find more great work at the art forum
Fan Artists: PM me if you want to be listed here

DEADLINES:
The deadline to post and pay a bounty is, obviously, the end of the Indiegogo campaign.

All bounties must be claimed with an accepted WIP by March 31st at 11:59 pm EST. All bounties must be completed by May 1st 11:59 EST or you forfeit your place in the standings and your right to the prizes you've earned.

Bounty rules
No violation of forum rules, the law, or asking for anything hateful, harassing, or demeaning will be tolerated. So, asking things like "$9000 to get me Mariel's phone number" is not allowed and will probably be an insta-perma-ban depending on how the mods are feeling.

Similarly, if you're just playing around or you don't pay up when someone fairly meets your terms, expect to get shitlisted. The reverse is true too: if you offer to meet a bounty and it's found that you're having a joke at everyone's expense, don't expect you can get away with a repeat performance. The mods and the CEO himself Sir Ravidrath are watching this thread carefully.

If I suspect anyone is gaming the system in anyway, I reserve the right to disqualify them from the competition and make them ineligible for the prizes described below.

Squigly, Big Band and Robo Fortune apreciation thread

Duo11 — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 15:58:22 +0000

Personally, I don't care who wins the vote because I've already decided I'm going to play Squigly and Robo Fortune.

This thread is dedicated to the three characters everybody seems to be ignoring because everything is focused on the vote.

Squigly is already looking pretty cool with those long range normals, screen shifting and stance cancels. Also she's the 3rd character in the game to have a standing overhead, which is cool.

Can't wait to see what the team is going to do with Big Band.

So, apparently the Skullgirls community only cares about offline modes

Who will you vote for in Round 3?

wolfboy — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 19:03:40 +0000

Only one vote instead of two, but should be a good indicator...at least on SRK

Skullgirls OTT! -Random select is top tier.

Jet Set Dizzy — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 20:02:24 +0000

This thread is basically just a thread to talk and converse with other members from the Marvel 3 Skullgirls forums about things loosely or not at all related to the Marvel vs Capcom 3 Skullgirls series.

Rule 1: Please don't makes posts containing only images, videos, and memes "except where absolutely necessary" (and that being open to common sense) so that we can keep the thread from spiraling down into insanity.

Rule 2: Be nice!

Have at you.

Meeting other players on XBL: SkullgirlsSRK Metatag

Pobega — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 18:13:08 +0000

A few weeks ago I made us a metatag for organizing matches on XBox Live. Even though it's in the title of the sticky up top, it hasn't gotten much attention. So, this thread is mostly to point out that it exists, and hopefully get a few more people on it.

To use it, add SkullgirlsSRK to your friends list. If I don't get around to adding you in a timely fashion feel free to PM me, I'm a busy college student and I don't check the metatag every day.

After you're accepted you can view SkullgirlsSRK's XBL profile, and look at it's friends; that will show you who's online and who's playing what right now. Just shoot them a message and schedule yourself a match

Since this thread IS a little bit redundant, also see http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?threads/gamertag-sharing-thread-xbl-metatag-is-skullgirlssrk.154358/

If anyone has any questions about the metatag and how it works, feel free. If the mods want to close this thread for being redundant, at least give it a few days so people can see it/ask questions without having to resort to PM (that way it's archived)

Can anyone help me with learning Skullgirls(Xbox360)?

OhTurano — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 16:16:48 +0000

Hey all I'm new here and I recently got into Skullgirls, I don't have past experience in fighters, of course I've played before but not on a competitive level, but I would like to get pretty good at skullgirls and I just dont have the fundamentals for fighting games, I really like Filia, and Valentine and even Parasoul is cool so if you could help me with the basics for these characters, or just the game itself would be fantastic, thanks in advance!

Salty Cupcakes: SG Thursdays in LA

Mike_Z — Sat, 08 Sep 2012 01:01:46 +0000

Do you like Skullgirls? DO YOU LIKE CUPCAKES?
Well then...

Introducing Salty Cupcakes, an event that combines Skullgirls, cupcakes, boba, and not-being-held-at-my-apartment into one big desserty night.

When: Thursdays 7pm-??, beginning next week, September 13th.
Where: Frootsii, a 24-hr casual boba/snack/dessert hangout located at 14318 Ventura Blvd in Sherman Oaks. There's a big comfy couch, many types of delicious drinks and food to order, and parking underground. Also tables, chairs, a floor, lights, and lots and lots of breathable air.

Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/eightysixed (when the event is going on, of course)

I will be bringing two PS3 setups (and possibly a 360), all patched. Bring sticks, and if you have a lagless monitor it would be much appreciated. If bloodlust dictates, I will run a tournament starting at 9:30 or so.

This is a weekly event, so get off your duff and show up.

(link to Dustloop thread)

(@Mike Z) Will there be another character voting poll for the rest of the characters (or new ones)?

LastShallB1st — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:54:37 +0000

I know based on the donation drive making another character will be very expensive, but do you think after some time has past( say maybe a year or so) there will be another character drive where we can vote again? Thank for giving us this opportunity though.
