console why u no memory for the band


why

 

[Zidiane]

Isn't qcb lk a teleport? How do you make it easier to hit your opponent with that?

 

[Zombies8MyLeg]

Sweet! It looks like Mike saw my Red Q Big Band palette suggestion.

 

[Evilweevle]

whats this about big band being too big for consoles? is this actually a thing? is there an archive of last nights salty?

If you go to the EightySixed twitch page and enter the past broadcasts page the first entry, the most recent will be last fridays Salty.

 

[Zidiane]

So did OP just get that move reversed, or is the hitbox fixed on hp item instead of hp bang?


Also, missed the console bit. Does this mean Big Band is getting reduced to 90% size? And does this have any implications for future big characters, like Panzerfaust, Samson, and Scythana?

 

[Makross]

 

[Evilweevle]

ah i was worried that it was a case of that big band wouldnt be coming to consoles. glad thats not the case.

 

[WayForger]

Most likely.

 

[Professor Icepick]

Ugh, I thought they already had to shrink him.

 

[ashxu]

They already shrunk him, actually go watch the video because he needs his file format to be changed or something

 

[Evilweevle]

yea it was ages ago now that they shrank him. something about the ways his files are accessed are very inefficient atm so they need rearranging for consoles or something.

 

[Mike_Z]

Sweet! It looks like Mike saw my Red Q Big Band palette suggestion.

That had like zero to do with you, I promise.

@Everyone else
BB's still big, but we won't be shrinking his art anymore.
As he gets colored in, he takes up more space so there's no way to know how big he'll finally be in terms of memory.

Additionally, it turns out those two levels had errors so he actually DID fit this week, AH WELL.

 

[Golbat]

Well at least all this Big Band grief's proof we won't be seeing Panzerfaust, Scythana, Molly or Alt Samson in any time soon.

Man I sure feel sorry for myself the poor suckers who put those characters at the top of their lists!

 

[SkullMan]

The rocking ship in Under the Bridge stage was a nice touch.

 

[Clawsome Bombs]

Well at least all this Big Band grief's proof we won't be seeing Panzerfaust, Scythana, Molly or Alt Samson in any time soon.

Hopefully Panzerfaust doesn't have to become Panzerklein.

 

[Mike_Z]

Well at least all this Big Band grief's proof we won't be seeing Panzerfaust, Scythana, Molly or Alt Samson in any time soon.

Actually, when Big Band fits it means all those characters are MORE doable because we can then fit anything we want. So you're exactly backward. :^)

 

[Chuck Draug]

So in the end, Big Band is serving as a test for big characters. Which is good: everything you guys have learned from BB can be used in future characters.

Also, good to see more interesting updates, specially those fixes in Peacock's hit boxes. And of course, any BB update is good news. :P

 

[DDB]

Wow, BangCamaro just doesn't wanna get up

 

[Detective Q]

You folks are aware that "Red Q" is basically...

?

Give good old Carmen Sandiego some respect guys.

 

[Flotilla]

Mike has said that it's Red Q, though. Carmen Sandiego didn't have a metallic face and yellow eyes...

 

[Zombies8MyLeg]

That had like zero to do with you, I promise.

Thanks T.T

 

[Detective Q]

Mike has said that it's Red Q, though. Carmen Sandiego didn't have a metallic face and yellow eyes...

But I chose my red outfit as a knockoff to Carmen. So if Big B decides to wear red because of me, he really is because of her. Mike can tell you guys what he wants, but if it’s about Q, you should listen to me. I am Q, after all.

And I have enough fame; I don’t need any more credit. Big Band as living monument is enough.

 

[Zidiane]

Give good old Carmen Sandiego some respect guys.

I personally think it's messed up Carmen Sandiego won't get a palette. She's, like, awesome and junk, but the two palettes would be too similar. But ah well. Red Q is cool. And Q references probably take priority. Even though it's a reference to an alternate color choice... maybe we can get the color on Parasoul? Sorta. Maybe Talesin?

 

[Evilweevle]

theres a dick tracy alt right?

 

[DDB]

It's been there for a while, yeah.

 

[SonicFox]

Is it me, or did you just say something highly erotic

 

[LordTerminal]

WHITEFIN SPOTTED OFF THE PORT BOW!

Spoiler

But yeah, are the copy and pasted images of the rest of Lab 8 just placeholders? Or can't you give Ileum, Leduc and Hive new poses to cheer Big Band on?

And this makes me think, is Under the Bridge the general location of Lab 8 in general if they're all there? (Yeah I've made it clear I really do love the Lab 8 crew, haven't I?)

 

[Professor Icepick]

Thought it was pretty cool to see some of the street people from Streets of New Meridian in the alternate NPC, especially Hobo Ryu and Bonus-kun.

I love me some Bonus-kun.

i think it is because of the events in peacocks story that they all escaped

 

[Zazz]

Well in that version of the stage Gate #829 is open so i guess that's the secret entryway to the lab.

I think the old Lab 8 characters are placeholders. Their feet look like they're floating with the Lab 8 stage sprites.

 

[Detective Q]

It’s just you.

And this makes me think, is Under the Bridge the general location of Lab 8 in general if they're all there? (Yeah I've made it clear I really do love the Lab 8 crew, haven't I?)

I had the same idea, since so many non-combat members are out there. I mean, Ileum and all the kids are watching, same goes for Stanley. We know he can fight, but he’s not a soldier but a scientist.

So I thought the sewer gate in the background is a secret entrance to Lab 8 of some kind. Maybe Big Band is defending it, or the members just enjoy watch some fighting in their lunch break.

 

[Metafogos]

My God... this game have so much cool characters... we need them all!!!!

 

[Clawsome Bombs]

Whenever something like this is pointed out in Skullgirls, I can never figure out if it was intentional or an awesome coincidence.

 

[Golbat]

Ah, thanks for the correction.

Art we don't have to newly draw is time we can save. The alternative is NOBODY. So, shh.

 

[SunnyRei]

Art we don't have to newly draw is time we can save. The alternative is NOBODY. So, shh.

Definitely agreed with this. It's a neat enough cameo without taking up more time and money, especially when you did three variants of the stage. Thanks for that feature btw! It makes the stage more interesting. I thought that would just be on the casino/canopy because of the Indiegogoers.
