First and most importantly: Make sure to tune into Eightysixed tonight at 10PM EDT for a special edition of Saturday Night Salt, hosted for the benefit of Brazilian players who are fundraising a trip to Combo Breaker! During tonight's stream, a special line of t-shirts from Brazilian artists will go on sale (and be on sale for only one week) at Eightysixed Clothing's website, with all proceeds going to the fundraising campaign. Tell your friends, empty your wallets, be a part of the stream, and help a passionate group of Skullgirls players participate in what's sure to be the hypest major of 2015.


The first Salty! of April came bundled with a shiny new batch of Skullgirls updates, the highlights of which include:
  • Beowulf has been submitted to Sony US/EU/JP for certification! Due to minor issues, Microsoft certification will take a bit longer. For all intents and purposes, Beowulf is complete and the team is now shifting gears back to Robo-Fortune. Speaking of...
  • Skullgirls Encore for PS4 will feature cross-platform play with the PS3 version! Experimental tests of this feature were carried out earlier this week, with positive results.
  • Robo-Fortune has her second set of special moves! She can now utilize a series of air beams to compliment her already stellar air normals. L Beam shoots downwards at a 45-degree angle, M Beam is horizontal, and H Beam is a horizontal multi-hitter.
  • R.Fortune now has many more clean frames; normals, superjump, lasers, and dash effects, to name a few.

Check out the latest beta update here, and the full Twitch archive of this week's Salty! here!


With work on Robo-Fortune speeding along, make sure you don't miss a beat: Catch Salty! live so that you can watch the updates unfold alongside the community! Watch Salty! here every Friday @ 8PM PST.
Thanks @Makross for the Youtube video!

Finally, everyone took the time to say their heartfelt goodbyes to @Shin ATproof, a long-time Salty! regular who will be moving to Japan to pursue his dreams of actually becoming Baiken IRL. If you missed the Vampire Savior and Guilty Gear kumites, then do yourself a favor and show up to Lab Zero's stream at 2PM PST to watch Mike and company do a voice-acted playthrough of Chrono Trigger on his behalf.

Good luck in Japan, Shin!
 
Those Metroid Suits are so freaking hype, thanks based palette guy! Even more reason to play robo now, besides figuring out the mystery of what the heads do.
 
That heart beam! Could the power of theonite be made even stronger by LOOOOOVE?

Ok, on a related note, is that cool 3D radial looking chargeup effect ever coming back to the Ground H Beam?
 
Chrono Trigger, Well I know what I'm doing tonight.
I never met the guy but good luck to ShinAT!

Mr. news writer, what is that robot picture in the banner?

Huh? Nothing about that beam has changed...?
 
@Flotilla

It was also mentioned that PS3 PS4 crossplay for SG is happening

I'm still stuck on this.

When you cherish your waifu so much, you strive to become your waifu. It's the end game for this waifu laifu.
 
So it's like Highlander? There can only be one?
 
OMG OMG OMG the metroid suits are what i have been waiting for ever since they first revealed robo fortune. i nearly donated extra money to make sure varia suit got in for sure.

sooooo freaking happy. gravity suirt looks awesome too!
 
Hope with this crossplataform PS3/ PS4 the SG Community grown up more, and that Metroid palletes for R. Fortunes looks badass, based L0.
 
Huh? Nothing about that beam has changed...?

The cool radial animu effect that appeared in front of her forehead as the beam charged up? It was there when the attack was in it's uncolored state, but now that the rest of the effects are colored that particular chargeup effect is woefully absent. I can find footage if i have to.
 
Those metroid palette are quite badass indeed! And the headlight that goes with them makes them even sicker!
 
Are Robo's floating heads allowed to be differently colored than her main body? Because if those changed color to actual Metroids that would be SUPER, you know what I'm saying?

Ah who am I kidding It'd probably be hard to get right.

But that means he'd have to get his hand and eye cut off

please don't injure yourself in this quest shin, be safe
 
Oh man! I'm -- becoming -- Baiken? Taking the love to the next level yo!

Seriously though, it was a awesome 8 hour set of games in three of my favorite fighting games with friends and another dozen or so in my favorite RPG. It was an amazing weekend and the well wishes by friends both offline and online touched my heart that even as I write this I'm in tears.

Taking the Skullgirls game to Japan and immerse myself in the community over there. I plan to document my adventures over there as I work, see the country and all that fun stuff so stay tuned for all that good stuff!

Anyways, I got to finish packing but I'll still be around one way or another.

See ya when I see ya!

You should run a VBlog on YT, good luck and enjoy your journey adventure!

It will be removed in the next patch until your donation arrives. :^)

I can find footage if i have to.
Actually yeah, footage would help.

Are Robo's floating heads allowed to be differently colored than her main body? Because if those changed color to actual Metroids that would be SUPER, you know what I'm saying?
I suggested this when I first saw the palettes. It's unlikely they'll be made separate colors though.

@d3v
THANK YOU!
 
@d3v
THANK YOU!
Sadly, all this means is that we'll get another bunch of haters posting shit on the front page.

Pulling it from one of my older combovids for ya. It's distorted by Youtube's 8x slowdown effect and being a 25 FPS vid to start with, but it's there.


...man, looking at it like this makes me think of what little i've seen of Rumble Fish 2.

So when is Beowulf's official release date? Why is always Microsoft delaying things?

...and that's pretty much what happened. Way to tell it like you see it.

At first i was wondering 'Haters in front page? What they are talking about'

*Go in the actual link and look at the comments*

...how did you guess? Are they doing it on purpose or what? And even if they really hate, doing that on each bit of news is pretty much a waste of time...

Haters gonna hate.

Ey, there are haters for everything!
If you keep puttin' 'em up then after Combo Breaker people will have things to look at. :^)
 
Hopefully Combo Breaker will be like a major publicity stunt for the game!
