Hello GONTA!!!!!!

Oi. I'm Necrosquelch, or just Necro for short, and I've just picked up Skullgirls again, this time with the intent of getting gud.

Strangely enough, my interest in fighting games was sparked by Dark Souls. I was familiar with the name, but my friend only just introduced me to the game in early summer of this year and I've been absorbed by it ever since. Soon after playing Dark Souls on the Xbox 360 I bought the DLC followed by it's second installment and its respective DLC soon after. I saved small portions of cash from my paychecks for 3 months and bought a PS4 specifically for Bloodborne and even picked up the Scholar of the First Sin Edition of Dark Souls 2(which, if we're being honest, I don't feel was worth buying a second time aside from having a revitalized PvP community) with Dark Souls 3 trailing soon after.

Dark Souls 3 was the game in which I'd decided I'd really dedicate time to understanding the intricacies of the meta game and do everything in my power to be the best player that I could be. After what's now been months of practice I'm able to win fairly consistently. It's certainly satisfying, but I tend to get the most satisfaction out of getting hard reads on my opponents, comboing them until their health bars are damn near empty and I've yet to obtain a scratch. When I picked up a new weapon I'd dig through youtube videos, forums, reddit posts, getting any information I could on strategies. This led me to discovering a youtube channel lovingly named Praise the Sun. His Training Room series in particular became a sort of religious watch and it regularly becomes background noise when I'm working on something else.

Aside from Dark Souls content, he's also got plenty of Street Fighter videos showcasing his talent with Ibuki. Watching him fight was pretty amazing and I realized something. Fighting games are entirely based around the same thing that felt so good in my DS3 duels; comboing. With this in mind, just tonight I dusted off the fightstick I'd bought about a year and a half ago when I'd originally bought Skullgirls and took it for a spin.

Full disclosure, I've got very limited experience with Skullgirls and really fighting games as a whole. I mean, I've played Smash Bros and that's all good fun, but I wouldn't even begin to call myself a decent player. As a matter of fact, I'd given up on trying to get good at fighting games some time last year. Not necessarily out of salt, mind you. I was well aware and prepared to get bodied over and over again for months with the payoff being a better understanding of the game. Hell, even in Dark Souls 3 I take a damn good spanking now and again. The time commitment and my(at the time) limited network of friends willing to play the game were the main reasons I left SG alone for so long. Now that I think I've gotten a small taste of what improving in a fighting game has to offer I think I'm wiling to put forward that time and take a few thousand more beatings.

As of now I'm at the barest possible minimum that a player could be at. I've only barely got the controls down, I've decided on Ms. Fortune as my main due to her quick movement, mobility, and because frankly I just like her silly personality, and I've discovered a simple combo with some practice in the training room that I managed to pull off five times consecutively(LP, LK, MK(be patient and let both hits land), c.HK, jump forward, j.MK, j.MK, HP, HK). I've also decided to work with Eliza and Beowulf after mastering Ms. Fortune. Yes I'm aware they've all got drastically different play styles, but I like their style and I'm an art student. Aesthetics are important to me.

I've still got plenty to learn and hopefully through here I'll find people to bring along with myself on our journeys to the top. See you all in the fight! Stay flashy out there!

Hey,

I've been looking to get back into Fighting Games since I joined the Street Fighter IV scene very late, like beginning of this year and I don't have a current gen machine for Street Fighter V (PS3 + Macbook Pro) which is why I've set my sights on the indie game with Girls and Skulls.
I bought the game when it was released but never got too deeply into the mechanics until now. Found a nice workaround to get my FS3 working on Mac so want to join this awesome community

My name is Mone't.

I'm a noob and I main Filia.

welcome. we have guides and tutorials to help you jump from a zero to a Filia Hero. so don't be afraid to ask for help, we're all here to help.

Hi!

I'm a player from Italy with a below average connection and a not so powerful laptop. I like fighting games and almost all of the games (on GGPO) i run on this pc belong to the genre.
Struggling with Skullgirls for 80+ hours of gameplay in which i learned nothing at all. After having for most of the time my girls' skull smashed by a more skilled friend of mine (he got bored with the game for this reason), and after many failed attempts to convince my other pals, or join a random quickplay or a casual lobby, i now feel stuck because i don't have nobody reliable to play this great game with.

So yeah i'm here to both learn and find someone to play with. I'm a really bad fighter (lack of reflexes, difficulty to approach, lots of mistakes in the execution) who "knows" the basics of fighting games but is unable to get along with the gameplay, i play on keyboard and i don't really have a main with the exception of Valentine, maybe the only one i used constantly since the beginning.

Hi all, I'm Arcane and I'm a player from the Dominican Republic.

In terms of fighting game experience, I've been a competitive Smash 4 player for almost two years now, attending tournaments and everything. At the same time tough, I've been
getting interested in traditional fighting games as well, specially because I saw how many Smash players here have a background playing traditional fighters or play both at the same time, and also because they are pretty entertaining to watch, specially this game.

At the moment I haven't done much with the game, the 25 hours of in-game time that I have has all been getting basic combos down and getting used to the movement. Not to mention tough, the other 5+ hours taking notes about each of my character's moves, when to use them, watching/reading tutorials and things of the sort. In a nutshell, all I've done so far is learning the game.

I've heard the community is great, which is why I joined here, and I'm looking forward to getting along with the peeps here!

@Arcane welcome. if you like we have a community discord server where you can chat it up with [pretty much] everyone in the community.

if you need help or just want matches there are people always willing to try it out. See you there.

[also SkullHeart holds character guides and videos of that sort from which you can gleem info off of.]

How's it Swinging Pals! Name's Omegatriad and I'm from the SouthEast USA- I've been in the skullgirls fandom ever since it dropped in 2012- I just made this account only a couple of months ago. I've played many fighting games and consider myself at least competent in designing Fighting games and pretty good at playing them. I have consistently played- Guilty Gear, KOF, Street fighter (I prefer Thrid strike the most) and skullgirls. I have dreams of making my own fighting game one day-in due time In due time.

Hello,

I'm zero drop rate, or just zdr. I just started taking an interest in fighting games after playing SSB for a while and wanting to branch out to the more standard 2D fighters. I've been trying to hone my skills for a couple months and am making some stready progress. I enjoy SG and the community that I've seen so far from watching tournament videos. It seems like everyone is ready to be competitive but still receptive to coaching from each other and that has huge appeal for me. I'm only playing on Steam at the moment, but I plan to keep an eye out on the consoles being released and how things trend with this game to expand my platforms. Add me on Steam. I'd love to learn as much as I can from the many experienced players here.

Hi everyone, I'm DangDen. i actually play cracked version of skullgirls ever since its first release. Well, until now, i finally bought the steam version to play online. I really love to have some match with everyone. I'm from Vietnam .... so the internet connection here is really really bad :( ..... is anyone here from asia ?

Hey everyone, Panda here...

Uhhhh, I like to play fighting games(duh) and SG is pretty fun. I've been in a few small tournaments (like school or something), but I've always wanted to make it big in fighting games, but real life doesn't work that way(in my life so far). Anyways, I'll play anyone with an ok connection, just PM me or something...gl

Hello everyone, I'm Evolkasi.

I play a lot of different games (Skullgirls included), and I like other stuff. Like anime and music and stuff like that.
I am not one who usually talks on forums, but I would like to actually get into a community. So I chose this one because I like Skullgirls and it's community seems really nice.

I would love to get better at Skullgirls, and fighting games in general!
I've also played and been a fan of Skullgirls since its release.
So I hope this introduction doesn't look to much of a mess, and that I visit these forums more often.

Hello. My name is Íñigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

I'm just a dude passing by. And I like fighting games too. I'm not good, but I'm not a noob at them. I understand the terminology and my execution isn't terrible, I like to think. I started playing fighters since I started with Tekken 5 as a kid, though it was Street Fighter II that got me into the genre. I also play Jojo's Heritage for the Future ocassionally with a friend, and I've been playing this game some days. I hope I can be dedicated enough to get competent, some day.

As for myself, I kinda like history, and I love videogames, mainly old titles for the NES, but I can pretty much play anything (except for some types of RPGs). I like to draw sometimes, but I don't do it that often any longer.
Aaaand... I guess that is all. Greetings.

Hey everyone!
I'm Taneisha! I've been a PC gamer for almost ten years alternating between the keyboard and controller. I was introduced to Skullgirls a few months ago by a few of my Twitter followers and I haven't looked back! I love everything about this game! I want to become good at this game, much like I was at Tekken 3 (mainly in the arcades) and Dead or Alive 3 (on the XBOX) (Those two games I excelled at a tremendous amount, more than the games I've played before and after them. Fighting games haven't been very good on the PC until recently, so I have missed out on a few titles.)

Although I frequently use Felia and Valentine, Felia is my go to. I'm a fairly new streamer on Twitch and I use that platform to stream myself playing Skullgirls. I talk about fighting games with others who join my live stream as well as love the support and encouragement many give me when I stream. On Twitter I like to talk about gaming, tech and make announcements about my Twitch stream and when I'll be going live.

I hope to get better at Skullgirls, often practicing every chance that I can (most of the time that means every night when my nights are free) and I often watch the Combo Breaker Tournaments to watch how the competitors execute combos and what their techniques are.

I also hope to interact with you all as well; Maybe we can learn from each other.

I'll be sure to check those out! I'd love to be able to execute combos as flawlessly as the competitors at the Combo Breaker Tournaments...

Hello! My name is Trick3x and I just got Skullgirls two days ago. My fighting game background is mostly Mortal Kombat and I was fairly decent at the game as well. Everything in skullgirls is different and feels much more complex so I at times feel discouraged but I have decided I want to improve. I'm quite a competitive guy and I'm looking to maybe one day play in tournaments and do well for myself, but right now I want to master the basics....and beat my friends along the way of course!

I Have played most all of the characters in skull girl but i find myself liking Cerebella the most, although Filia feels the most responsive and is quite easy to pick up. Out of all of the characters I find i like the concepts of painwheel and double the most and I would love to master the fleshstep as it feels awesome to flash behind someone and score a few well deserved hits.

As for me personally, I'm a nature lover. I love taking walks in the woods and watching the wildlife. I have a dog who is very precious to me and I love animals of all kinds. I was drawn to fighting games because of the challenge and the fact that when ever I would play them with friends I would get my butt kicked, and I hated that, so I am determined to get better. Anyways That's it for my introduction! I would love to play with some of you guys However I am very green and am still working the tutorials in order to master the basics before i go online. Thanks for reading!

it's good to meet you. there are a ton of character guides here on the forum for you to read up on and use to improve yourself. There is also the discord where you can poke other players for matches. Since the community is kinda small we find this is the easiest way to get matches when ever we want.

as for Tourneys... I suggest looking towards Combo Breaker for it's the EVO equivalent for SG. We get a stage and stream time as well as 24/7 casuals. All in all it's pretty sweet.

Thank you for your reply ninja! I'll check out this combo breaker you speak of. Is it in the future or has this Combo Breaker already happened? I look forward to improving with all of you!

Combo Breaker is during the Summer.

They have already announced the upcoming event and the games that are featured.

My name is Ragnarok, though some have taken to "Rag" for short. I'm a member of BxA Gaming, a MKX player in the MidWest who happened upon Sonic Fox's stream a few days ago. I'd never paid much attention to S.G or any of the "Anime Games" for that matter over the years. Though while I watched, admittedly out of curiosity I found it to be interesting enough to stay for a few hours. I've competed in a few fighters over the years, MK, SF, Soul Calibur 5. So far of every stream & community I've entered into, this one seemed to be one of the most welcoming. Particularly to a member of the stream who knew zero about the game.

I'm not sure whether or not SG is for me, but I've purchased the beginning game on steam, which wasn't hard to justify for $3. If I end up liking it then I'll acquire the PS4 version sometime next week after the rest of the bills are paid.

A little about me. I'm a pad player, and a bit of a "Lab Monster". I haven't seen or explored the Roster yet, though I found Valentine, Parasoul and R. Fortune to be the most visually appealing on stream so I'll likely begin with one of those 3. In the meantime, i'll be perusing your Guides, FAQ's, Frame Data etc to see about how this game is played.

This will be my last post before I leave this forum.

In all honesty I had fun playing with you guys during the weekends, and we all had a good time. For my first point was having the concept of a complete roster, after Beowulf has launched I was expecting more content, more possibilities of team building, but I heard that it was "finished", hearing this I felt disappointed from it's current state, leaving these spots empty with a small roster.

Now for my second reason, a rather interesting case we're I seen people going on behind the scenes. Seeing one of the artist talking about the woman losing to a man with no experience, yet my anonymous friends told me because of this. Hearing this, I must've question their decisions they're going for, like removing the panty frames. It almost felt like a Self Censoring, its like the devs are... Dare I say it, (((SJWs))). The anons have told me the truth, that I've been playing a even more broken yet easy to exploit Mahvel 2, and Indivisible is a total shill.

A rather short conclusion...
Due to the politics, and the decision the studio went, I had no choice but to cease my support. If the mods are here, feel free to ban me. I had enough drama in my systems already...

Farewell fellow players, it was fun, but I will miss you guys.

…what???

Anyway my name is Tommer and I am learning skullgirls. I play solo big band (wifi) and I use a fightstick and beatmania controller for movement (like a hitbox) because no one here would help me set up my gamecube controller. Here's a picture of how I play please reply with any advice or feedback you have.

Yo, if you still manage to see this:
It's not really censoring if they did as an artist, of their own volition, is it? Censoring would be forceful, against their own will, removal of content.

iirc, remaking some frames was something that was planned since forever but a lot of things meant they could only do it later on. tbh I don't see the problem in it, no one, and I mean NO ONE, would have even noticed these changes if L0 hadn't mentioned it; it's that insignificant. It was changed because those particular shots "didn't make sense" it's not like with attacks where the "rule of cool" is good and all, I guess artistically they *gasp* actually wanted any sort of fan service to follow the laws of physics.

And damn, how'd removing a few pantyshots make them into SJWs?
I'd consider them SJWs if they removed pantyshots AND proceeded to rant about the over-sexualisation of women in videogames.
But that could just be me.

Its been so long since i played SG i feel like i should introduce myself again

Hello, It's Lobsteri from Finland!

I mostly play Melee, but recently started to pick up interest on traditional fighters as well. I backed Skullgirls during the kickstarter and followed it up 'till the release, but ended up not playing it that much before dropping it. Seeing that this game is still active, I want to give SG an another chance. I play on PC.

For matchmaking I got the Discord channel, but I'd like to participate to some online tournaments as well. Any EU weeklies/monthlies?

Looking forward to playing you! Cheers.

there is the EU SkullBats. Poke one of the guys on the SG Discord to get the deets on that

Hi, I'm seMpai. Call me Marjan (nicknames are weird)

I started with smash, went to street fighter and now I'm into skullgirls.
I'm more of a spectator, but really want to git gud at a fighting game. Living in germany, I'm a bit concerned about the playerbase near me, but I am really open minded about going social with people online. If you want to talk about games, and also play them, hit me up. Hopefully I can improve my english further more and make some friends or foes :)

Hello everyone! I'm Hendrixson, and on some platforms I'm known as SethHendrixson. I enjoy long walks on the beach, deep conversation, beautiful music, reading literature by the fire... oh, and fighting games.

I'm brand new to not only Skullgirls, but anime fighters in general. My background consists of NRS games (mostly MKX) and SFV. I began playing SG just a few days ago and fell in love almost immediately. The characters, the art style, the combo system, everything about it is so new and interesting to me. It's been loads of fun just messing around these last few days but now it's time to buckle down and get serious, methinks.

I'm currently interested in Cerebella and am in the process of finding a character to pair her with. Big Band, Fukua, Parasoul and Robo Fortune all pique my interest and I'll be dedicating some lab time to all of them in the coming days. There seems to be an immense amount of data and knowledge here and I can't wait to dive right in. Moreso, I can't wait to interact with the community (you guys have a splendid reputation of being one of the best communities in the FGC) and grow as a player of this game.

I'm very much interested in that Discord server but I'm having some issues with my ISP and am planning a move soon, so Ninja, please expect a DM from me requesting an invite in the coming weeks when I get things straightened out. Can't wait to fight you all!
