    The "social media updates" thread - now with 99% less drama

    I think it would be great to have color schemes as free content you unlock by completing challenges. Like, if there's a Sonic palette for Filia, make the player complete some challenge like "defeat a certain number of opponents in survival (or maybe Marie in Story Mode) with only Hairball". That...

    They don't want to discuss it because they have nothing to respond with, so the whole thing turns into a one-way pummeling with criticism. Obviously, they don't enjoy that much, so they forbid it.

    I don't think that matters to the developers. The criticism got scrubbed as clean as it can be, which is a win in their book, they won't dispute it. They probably didn't even look at the reviews, and to them, anyone who said anything negative was an evil hater undeserving of their attention in...

    This review ban really shows what the developers really think of our opinions - no one is allowed to oppose them in any way, they're the only ones who matter. Simply disgusting. And with that being said, now I will make a negative review of my own. They really deserve it.

    At this point, I don't think there's even any reason to discuss this any further. The current developers don't seem to care about anyone who dares to say anything that's even slightly critical of their decisions, they only want sycophants to send money to them on a semi-regular basis, and they...

    There's also a thing to be said about how more pink-colored sausage-esque tentacles wrapping the heroines' bodies feels more perverse than what we had before.

    June 2023 Content Update Discussion Containment Thread

    Comparing guest artwork from highly esteemed Japanese artists to dirty socks you need to throw out is... quite a take. But at least I'm starting to piece together the mindset of the developers, they really did just dislike Skullgirls as it existed before their arrival. I think people nowadays...

    That doesn't really mean much, nowhere do they say that they embrace it. They inherited it, that's all. For all we know, they might be completely opposed to it, and going forward, every character will be PG-13, especially characters not designed by Alex Ahad. This content patch is a pretty big...

    To acknowledge that they're not trying to neuter Skullgirls, and they remember what this game is - a somewhat raunchy and fanservice-y fighting game made as a love letter to similar Japanese fighting games. To assure us that they won't be shying away from these themes going forward, and keep the...

    Marie's DLC certainly doesn't deserve to be spammed with bad reviews, it's kinda disrespectful to the work artists put into her, and I doubt they had a lot to do with this whole situation. But I do think that "the ghost" of this update won't ever leave Skullgirls, and the negativity will always...

    That's the most likely explanation, yes. Judging by his tweets, he doesn't actually play Skullgirls, so he probably looked at some other tweets and made a sweeping judgement (something people on Twitter often do). Whatever, he's just some guy doing his own thing. Still, that's quite literally...

    What he says is that the game is being review bombed over that stuff, not even implying that there're other reasons why people are angry. It's a lie by omission, and the fact that devs themselves support this comment reflects very poorly on them. I don't think it's legally binding, which is why...

    You don't have to be a genius to understand exactly what the "honest" review here implies, given the first half of the tweet.

    June 2023 Content Update Discussion Containment Thread

    So I noticed that the official Skullgirls account liked this tweet. I want to mention that, as far as I know, officially encouraging fake positive reviews with free giveaways is a big yikes as far as the FTC is concerned, and while this is probably not illegal, it's not a good look at all...

    That's a good point, actually, I remember that. They said so on this very forum, in fact, back in 2015. https://skullheart.com/threads/skullgirls-pc-beta-updates-discussion.407/post-268947 Yay indeed. This is kinda like Darth Vader's "I am altering the deal, pray I do not alter it any further".
