The Cover Needs To be More METAL AS FUCK. I demand a kick ass poster of the poster boys about ready to kick the shit out of each other.

Don't get me wrong it's nice... but it needs that little extra "umph". KICK IT UP TO 11 BABY!
 
Maya trailer
 
Maya's looking cooler than ever, but that new UI they've shown in other videos could really use some help. They need to get Brady on that thing right away.
 
Well, at least they teased us with all these new characters.
Who's that dude with the bandanna?
And was that Shadow Jago in there?
That couldn't be Shadow Jago. No sword.

But he has the same pose, same eye glow and that weird hand thing he is doing. They said down the line, shadow jago was going to be different from regular jago. So that means they probably updated his design as well.
 
It's official. Gaara is in the game and that's not a bad thing.

Killer Instinct got me into fighting games without ever playing it. So yeah, I'd love a PC port.

This artwork is something you get when you beat story mode with all characters and unlock all 3 of their endings. Might make this my desktop wallpaper.

Gameplay reveal for S2's freebie <read: only in the Combo Breaker or Ultra Combo packs, not for sale individually> character, Omen

When's Broccoli Golem
 
A new tidbit about golem character:

The golem does something no other fighting game character has ever done, and that's change the boundaries of the board by creating walls behind himself or behind the opponent. These walls are considered the new stage boundaries, so you're not teleporting past them, but you can jump off them (if your character has wall jump) and use them just like a "real" wall. More detail on all the nuances of them and the rest of his repertoire as we roll into February!

Yeah, that bugged me when somebody was talking about it on a stream. People were like "OMG!!!" and I just facepalmed. It's just another unfortunate reminder of how many people haven't played Skullgirls (yet still go out of their way to diss the game). I think Arcana Heart features a similar ability too.

But hey, I'm still curious to see how IG handles it. I just hope they get blown up on that comment, and give the proper shoutouts on their broadcast.
 
There's a difference between locking the camera to make pretend walls and literally conjuring a stone wall to hinder movement

Plus, you could only make a wall EITHER Golem's side or the opponent's side, not to mention that they said Golem can break the walls it makes

The execution is different, and the way the character utilizes it will be different, but the end goal is still to change the boundaries of the arena. Just because there are actual walls involved doesn't mean it's an entirely new idea.

Like, Beowulf's grappler-style brings a TON of new innovations with it, but even Mike's willing to give shoutouts to COTA and other games that tried similar things first. It's just a kind gesture, and it shows that you did your research.

BRUH, BROCCOLI ROCK NEWS, GAMEPLAY NEXT WEEK
- His name is Aganos
- Built as a war golem thousands of years ago, but mega wear and tear to his body and the long time after his creators' deaths made him lose his sense of identity and purpose until a king took him in and let him get some knowledge in. However, the king found out that Kan-Ra's dark magic using ass is still ticking, so he sends Aganos after him, a mission still going on in the modern day
- HE'S XBOX HUEG < =P >
- Uses a replenishable resource system for walls, projectiles and armor. Your amount of resource affects your jumping, attack speed and general movement

He looks sweet. Gotta say, they've been really hitting it out of the park with these new characters.

His official name may be Aganos, but he will always be Broccoli Man in my heart.
