I'll be there. Will get slammed but I'm loving the scene.

Cool, well then I'll definitely be there this Monday so hope to see you there KonKrete.

When I'm trying to learn a new character, I learn their chains first. What ground normals cancel with other ground normals and what air normals cancel into other air normals. After that, I look for what I call "extenders" or "links." These are moves that let you combine two chains together. A...

So everything is played exclusively on PC?

How often do these places play Skullgirls? It's my main fighter and definitely want to scope the scene more.

I'm not a super Valentine user but have learned her various times. There is a character specific section with more info on These forums if you want to talk more but here's a short explanation. I use and see Valentine as a juggle character. She doesn't have an air knockdown but has a double...

I also am a recent Parasoul convert and feel very good with her. It is true that Peacock is the worst match up to Parasoul solo. What I usually do it use HK Egret, and while its coming across the screen I dash behind it. People usually begin to block the moment it's on screen giving you a...

If your new to Skullgirls or new to fighting games in general, head on over to the beginner's section of SH and ask away!

Mix ups can be hard to defend against, especially for someone new. Blocking effectively, I would say, is a combination of keeping your cool and understanding your opponents character. You need to remain level headed and not freak out when your being bombarded with attacks. This helps to see...

Significant or not, it's about sticking to your principles. I have purposefully not bought Capcom games because of their crappy practices. Of course my lone $60 will not change their minds but you will be doing the right thing according to your principles. And of course they would never admit...

Biggest point is if you don't like a companies business behavior STOP BUYING THEIR GAMES! Lots of people complained about Ultimate and bought it. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR COMPLAINING IF THEY ALREADY HAVE YOUR MONEY!!!

The biggest problem with Capcom is they seem to not want to patch their fighting games, but they'd rather release a new retail version. They fix the small stuff, usually the things THEY think are important rather than what is shown to be broken. With MvC3 it got like 2-3 minor patches and then...

Another problem with F2P fighting games is a good fighter with a good developer knows they will need to patch the game. There will never be a fighter released that is perfect. Thus, getting no money and people using your servers and crying out for a patch? These things don't fit well. This...

I want to agree with KaboomKid, the F2P model doesn't add anything that a demo could. The model gives a lower barrier to entry but tends to get in the way of the core player. I could see a fighter do F2P like this: You download the game for free with all the characters unlocked to use in...

Hey all, I'd consider myself an intermediate player. I use a fight stick and many player 2D fighters. SG is by far my favorite fighting game for its level of balance and fun. Other fighters I've enjoyed have been MvC 1 & 2, BlazBlue, Persona 4 Arena and 3rd Strike. For me, I enjoy fighting...
