(11/20 PSN!) SG: Slightly Different Edition patch notes...

worldjem7

Question for Mike Z:
What do you think about an arcade version of SkullGirls? Any thoughts or plans for one?

I think it would do well in Japan, at least. They have that fancy NESiCAxLive deal and arcades are more popular in general for fighting games over there.

Posting here instead of PM because I'm curious about other people's opinions of an SG arcade version, too.

Mike_Z

Thoughts YES! Plans...especially for Japan...can't say. (^.~)

Zidiane

Your words imply ambiguity, but your emoticon suggests that the plan will promote good-feelings.

Arcade version of SG would be awesome. It would also get these Jamaica players to actually play the game, since they don't touch games unless there's a stream for it that they can look at (preferably a Japanese stream).

evilweevle

arcade skullgirls would be fucking awesome. hopefully some US/canadian arcades get it too.

Dime_x

An arcade edition is one of the smartest things regarding sg that I've heard... Will definitely get
Ore japs to play and subsequently more of the rest of the world.

What would an arcade version be beyond just an Arcade port of the main SG? I mean, I don't know if it's going to promote further play by the people who already own the game, so I don't know if it's /the/ smartest thing regarding SG I've heard. It'd be very very cool, but so would lobbies one can Spectate/stream.

Say no more.

Number 13

I personally think it would be wise that the total character roster reach around 12 characters first before a japanese arcade port should happen. It would have a stronger initial impact and decrease the likelihood of the game being overshadowed by the other fighters present. However, I'm all for japanese localization release at this point.

DeepEnd

Yeah but who's gonna release it? they need a strong arcade publisher.
ArcSys is out of the picture since they just released P4 for arcades.
Then there's Cave, which might be a sound choice, but they're largely known for Shmups
Sega and Namco? Naaaaaah.

It would be awesome if the Arcade version was just on a PS3 in a cabinet (as many new arcade machines are either PS or PC) and the player had the option to play arcade mode or "network" mode where it would search for online opponents- either from different arcade cabinets or home players on PS3. And if the arcade cabinets had cameras to see the other players reactions from other cabinets before/after match. There's lots of freaking potential!

XthAtGAm3RGuYX

Lots of video games did a feature where you could see the other players reactions when you defeated them. This feature pretty much always fell flat on it's face because nobody ever hooked up a cam so you could see. When they did hook it up, they normally weren't mad so it was just a dude lookin really chill.
Most notably Burnout Paradise.

The patch....I can smell it....

How so? Not even Mike knows when it's coming

I'm getting hyped again. I'll just set myself up for failure and start squealing again for the patch. Nonetheless, I hope you're right!! -begins to squeal in corner-

evilweevle

i just thought of something that HAS to be in the patch.

the little cat thing that sometimes pops out when you hit with lock n load? give it a hit box of some kind so i can use the DP+LP reflect move and shoot it across the screen! Genius right? ive always wanted to shoot a cat at people!

please mike Z make my dream come true!

edit : 2 likes! other people want to shoot cats too! MORE!

Is there a reason why dp+HP assist on headless fortune does the f+HP move instead?

Mister Mike Z, Is there a reason why our builds doesn't allow for local match saving. Is there something that Sony and Microsoft are against? Other games do it and so have you.

Because it can't be set as an assist if the command doesn't exist for head on fortune.

I didn't think Fortune has a head on f+HP move.

I've been away from SRK for awihle, summer school's been kicking my ass, I haven't been on the forums in a couple months now, what did I miss? How was Evo? Patch date? Any DLC news? New technology? New fundamental patch changes? Is it still fairly dead?

Patch is not out yet. EVO was hype. Skullgirls was the biggest side tourny there. Skullgirls is back on the Runback. Etc.

Uncivilized Elk

If you haven't seen the list of everything in the patch yet, you should go read that.

Is there a reason why qcf+HP assist doesn't turn into f+HP or HP when fortune is headless? It does on point.

Basically what I'm saying is let me have schmancy new fortune assists plx.

Do you want ZOOOOM?

You have to set dfHP or dbHP.

I'd really like to get the dp+hp headless move as an assist to play with, but yeah, I was trying find alternatives to those since c.HP isn't a great assist to have when the head's on.

Uncivilized Elk

That's why it's only worth it if you start with Fortune and like to play headlessly.

Second biggest. Virtua Fighter had 195 people.

There was a VF5 tourney? I thought that was just an event where 194 people donate to Fuudo. HEEEYYY.

An arcade release for SG in Japan would be epicness overload!

This thread is killing me -- Whenever I open it, the first thing I see at a glance is a post by MikeZ, containing a capslocked "YES!"..

That would be because Fortune doesn't have a dp+HP move.

...I'm confused.

the achoo move where the head jumps about half a screen and is invincible.

Oh yeah no.

The way custom assists are set only includes moves that can be done by the character on the ground at all times. Meaning no air moves, no followups to other moves, and it doesn't store inputs for moves the character can't do normally.

Since Fortune doesn't have a dp+HP she can't possibly set dp+HP as her assist, regardless of whether she could do it headless.

Although it would be somewhat hilarious, dp+LK and df+HP seem to be better assists than dp+HP, since the position of the head can't really be controlled by the point character otherwise.

More like... some undisclosed entity hasn't paid another undisclosed entity to have the patch tested by Sony and/or MS.

So... it might be about another month. Or so.

Mike, I saw that Skullgirls is still a top five downloaded game on PSN: http://us.playstation.com/psn/playstation-store/ Do you know how many cumulative downloads there have been now for all platforms? I'm just curious how big this community has grown to.

'Undisclosed entity' meaning the publisher?

Undisclosed entity meaning undisclosed entity.

While in all honesty it's likely the publisher, it was not disclosed. So it's undisclosed.

That's what's been holding it up? I don't believe this.

They want to read the boards?

I hope they're reading them now.
