Skullgirls (PC/PS4/PS3/360/Vita)

[6souls]

I went ahead and unlocked the full version for PSN. So far I'm really fond of Ms. Fortune/Parasoul/Valentine, they have some vicious play styles. The other characters feel clunky to me atm. Sixsouls is my handle if I'm not on your list, yet.

Ms. Fortune's "Nomnomnomnom" grab noise is so satisfying for some reason lol

AE2012 top 4, then skullgirls right after. Mahvel last. No SFXT (looool).

I'm excited to watch some gameplay.

[Callisto]

[Tohmane]

Hell yeah, that's the stuff.

[octopus]

so godlike... that corner loop

[Callisto]

ME AND YOU WHEN YOU GET BACK THUL LET'S DO THIS

[Akiyama]

Did Thul win? o.o

[Chun Liroy]

Thulfreeus

[octopus]

Did Thul win? o.o

he beat omg itz andre earlier but now lost to nerdjosh

[Callisto]

Thul came in 6th or 7th I think

[Thulius]

4th. Shouldn't have lost to Nerdjosh but I hadn't seen him play all weekend and wasn't expecting so many sweeps. Heavy characters shouldn't have smaller-than-average hitboxes but I guess that's what happens when you let Mike Z design a grappler!

[Datonare]

Damn Thul, Skullgirls has been the only fighting game I've really focused on and tried to actually play more than casually, but your play humbled the shit out of me @.@ but now I have some combos to practice lol

[AoE]

To be fair, Thul humbles everybody.

At some point you gotta walk me through that head loop in the corner lol, we were confused on how it didn't set off IPS. Good shit though, you were really just a hit or two from top 3.

Looks like some of our local guys did well at PU as well, just not in Skullgirls.

It's actually really simple. IPS only checks which normal you start a chain with so as long as you have a normal that chains into st.MK and hasn't been used in the combo you can loop stuff like that. First 3 ground chains won't trigger it no matter what, so the loop is just [cr.LK st.MK (HP)]x3 and then repeat cycling through st.LP, cr.LP, st.LK, st.MP and cr.MP.

Speaking of loops...

Spoiler: show

Same concept applied to different combos. This game's getting kind of silly.

[Callisto]

I think IPS is more or less working as intended, I know that Mike stated he didn't want infinites to necessarily never happen, but he did want them to at the very least require some ingenuity and difficult execution. The Fortune one may get patched but I think they're going to let the game stew for 2~ months before they really take a look at anything considered a balance issue.
