Convenience sample from seven discords including the official one. https://www.nicholasdayhse.com/post/skullgirls-survey-purpose-and-methods-and-biases https://www.nicholasdayhse.com/post/peacock-villain-or-anti-hero

Players dislike fighting peacock on a level far beyond any other character. If the goal is to balance around making the game fun to play, she's the only problem character in the game. She's disliked across all skill levels so it's not because she's a scrub killer. I'm not sure how the team...

Having the whole bar flash purple for starving doesn't make much sense. It should probably stay empty with some other graphical effect that exaggerates that.

@Lex For the name to be important to an casual viewer you need a bunch of things to be true at the same time: - The user hasn't seen the characters enough to learn their names. - Commentators either exclusively use the character's name OR the player's name while describing gameplay. -...

I've been thoroughly torturing this into shape since I conducted my survey, and I finally feel like it's ready. We aren't in a beta testing phase but I think it brings up some points that are going to be useful in the future. I tried to be as accurate as possible describing the systems but if...
