The Palettes of Skullgirls

[Pizzarino]

Imagine, only 2 years ago the wikia was blatantly copy/pasting out of the SRK wiki and alienating the existing community. Now it is exposing unfinished content and alienating the developers. They've come so far! Great job!

 

[Zidiane]

Spoiler: I can't tell which one was supposed to be not-as-obvious

 

[mcpeanuts]

The Green Ranger is the one I recognized first, so I'd assume that's the obvious one.

 

[Zidiane]

But I've seen people ask about the werewolf one since he got that move. I also noticed green ranger first.

 

[mcpeanuts]

tbh I think the reason I recognized Green Ranger first is it fits better. I get what they were going for with Talbain now that I know who it's supposed to be, but the Green Ranger is really spot on.

 

[chickenwithtie]

It's a shirtless palette therefore I'm all for it.

 

[Ein Blitz]

I'm kinda weirded out about Beo's Talbain palette has human colored skin. Like other characters have non-human skin when it comes to certain other references (Filia's and Parasoul's Panty and Kneesocks, a lot of Eliza, Fortune, and Fukua palettes, etc), but Beowulf looks like he's fused together Talbain's werewolf and human form.

 

[Muro]

Parasoul has the Fluttershy palette with human skin, Bella has the Battletoads palette with human skin, Fortune has human skin on the palettes representing consoles... Bottom line is, it's not without precedent.

 

[Humdinger]

insert joke about jason david frank's steroid use making him look as muscular as beowulf, but in real life.

He was either going to end up with a white/blue face (no), or look like he was in a fursuit. I made a compromise.

 

[Muro]

A fun thing about palettes like that is Beowulf looking like he skinned the character he's referencing.

 

[Detective Q]

Wow, I'm surprised how well the Green Dragon Ranger-colors work for Beowulf. And I don't even like Power Rangers.

Fair enough

 

[BallotBoxer]

Last night's Salty! got a reveal of three new colors. MGS3 Naked Snake (worth a screenshot when it comes to the Beta!) and these two:

Left: reference to something
Right: original

It is a reference but you probably won't get it. More obvious than you think it is.

I was too tired to stick with the stream after updates so the reference might have been explained. If not, let's guess at it until it appears in the patch notes. What do you think is the theme of the color on the left?

• Could it be Sun Wukong from Journey to the West? (no specific incarnation, general depictions of the Monkey King has a red and gold scheme)
• If he had blue pants, I'd guess Potemkin from Guilty Gear (before he turned into Panzerfaust)
• People in stream claimed it was "sexy fireman." Is it truly something so simple?

 

[Huesoman]

I think one of these would have been a better Talbain:

 

[Ein Blitz]

After playing with the current Talbain palette for a bit, I'm totes fine with what we currently have now. Especially the arms and legs. Probably gonna use this color the most too.

And besides, it'd be silly to demand a change to a palette when I didn't even pay for a color.

 

[Mike_Z]

I think one of these would have been a better Talbain:

That's nice. You're nice. We appreciate the sentiment and hope you continue to provide more in the future. Your call is important to us, please stay on the line...

More than often simple things are the best
I love that palette so much and I hope that's what it is

 

[Mike_Z]

Not necessarily sexy, but the reference is correct.

 

[chickenwithtie]

Do you know of firemen that work chest naked

 

[Mike_Z]

Do you know of firemen that work chest naked

If they were a wrestler dressed as a fireman you BET they would do that.

 

[Huesoman]

Come on, don't be too sensitive man, not everyone will agree with the choices, and it isn't wrong to state an opinion.

 

[Mike_Z]

it isn't wrong to state an opinion.

True, and I will defend this everywhere!
Thus I was presenting my own opinion of your post, which by your own logic also isn't wrong to do.
I wasn't offended or nothin'.

 

[Denizen]

I was confused by the reveal that it's a Sexy Firefighter, since I'm so used to their gear being this color scheme.

Do you know of firemen that work chest naked

I know I will.

 

[BallotBoxer]

True, most firefighters around here wear a muddy ochre or black. That's why I like the palette; it exaggerates the iconic accent colors from their uniforms. It becomes the essence of firefighter (like in a Halloween or stripper costume).

I missed the reference because I often miss the obvious.

14 - Sexy Firefighter Shirtless strategy: become hotter than the fire and it will extinguish itself. Fact.
15 - Original Has an interesting panda and tiger luchador flavor
16 - Naked Snake (Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater) ♫ I'm still in a dream, Snake Eaterrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ♪

The only negative I have for the #14 palette is the skin-color collar. Barely noticeable, but when you see it, you feel weird.

Come on, at least be honest, you were pretty sarcastic, and the "please stay on the line" was rather contemptuous. I mean, I didn't try to hurt you, maybe you shouldn't take comments like mine too personal and take a more tolerant aproach. I mean I like some palettes others not, that's all.

I don't think you're using "take it personally" correctly. I'm not invested in the palettes, and your post wasn't negative enough to be offensive.
I responded because you were solely dismissive of work that was done, without any real helpful content ("I think either of these would have been better because ____"). At least Ein Blitz said why they would have preferred something being different. In your case there isn't even anything indicating how your complaint could be addressed, so it could only be taken as a complaint rather than a suggestion. S'all.

 

[TechPowah]

Because I love you all so much I literally had nothing better to do, I took the liberty of posting the chair while deployed and Grendel's arm with all the palettes:

Spoiler: Chair/Arm colors

Spoiler: Palette #1 <Default> vs. Palette #2 <Batman>

Spoiler: Palette #3 <Will Riker> vs. Palette #4 <Original - Blond with Blue clothes>

Spoiler: Palette #5 <Wolverine> vs. Palette #6 <Original - Green/Yellow clothes with dark skin>

Spoiler: Palette #7 <Dudley's pink palette> vs. Palette #8 <the Baz>

Spoiler: Palette #9 <El Santo> vs. Palette #10 <Yamcha>

Spoiler: Palette #11 <80's neon> vs. Palette #12 <Jon Talbain>

Spoiler: Palette #13 <Green Power Ranger> vs. Palette #14 <sexy fireman>

Spoiler: Palette 15 <Original - Black/white/gold clothes with white hair> vs. Palette #16 <Naked Snake>

 

[Medici Mob Boss]

Nice new palettes.
Funnily enough Beo's got more dark skinned palette's than Eliza currently.
To be honest, Riker, Green Ranger and Batman all are my least favorites at the moment, because they are so undeniably accurate and it feels more like playing as Batman than Beowulf. But I don't mind that they're there, I just'll gravitate to some of the others. There's plenty of good palette options with Beowulf.

Also I'm still stupid excited for new Painwheel palettes.

 

[SanoBaron]

oh my god....

Spoiler: Palette 15 <Original - Black/white/gold clothes with white hair> vs. Palette #16 <Naked Snake>

WHOOOOOAAAAHOOOOOOOOOO!
WHOOOOOOOAAAAAHOOOOOOOO!
WHOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOO!​

 

[Ninja]

I personally like the orange palette for Beowulf. matches up with my creamsicle Band and normal bella. Thumbs Up.

 

[Zidiane]

I feel like the color of Yamcha's Grendel arm should be the color of a Saibamen.

 

[Kongk4]

I feel like the color of Yamcha's Grendel arm should be the color of a Saibamen.

That implies that he is able to handle a Saibamen.

 

[Jelly]

Whoops, that was a copy paste error. Fixed!

 

[Huesoman]

and your post wasn't negative enough to be offensive.

But yours was.

I responded because you were solely dismissive of work that was done, without any real helpful content...so it could only be taken as a complaint rather than a suggestion.

So if it isn't "helpfull" it "could" be taken as a complain, then it justifies your clearly negative and contemptuous response? I think that is a paranoid logic, reading too much in a comment, and being overdefensive. Maybe you should be more tolerant and respect others opinions. Anyway, I do not retract of my opinion, take it as you like.

 

[Immaevilspacewhale]

Is the Grendel arm for the Wolverine palette supposed to represent a Sentinel? That's really cool.

 

[LAMG]

I think that is a paranoid logic, reading too much in a comment, and being overdefensive.

A wild projection strawman appears!

Dude,
you told a man how to do his job
on the forum where like, at least 80% of people are constantly trying to tell him how to do his job,
and he responded sarcastically.
Get over it.
