    Realistically what do you think Skullgirls' life span is after the last DLC?

    I guess you missed the part where I'm still playing the game with the two other people that show up to local events. But trolling is so much more fun than actually reading what people post, isn't it?

    Realistically what do you think Skullgirls' life span is after the last DLC?

    WTF is this even supposed to mean? Or are you just doing that "hey guys, I'm making a post that makes no sense at all in reply to a post I don't like, aren't I an amazing troll?" thing?

    It's not even the steam forum community (although they also certainly don't like Skullheart, although almost all of their grievances seem to be more with Arcana than the rest of the forums). It's everyone I've added after having a few good games against them.

    Basically everyone I've added on Steam who isn't someone I added because of Skullbats.

    Realistically what do you think Skullgirls' life span is after the last DLC?

    DFWers (I won't name who, although you don't have many to choose from...) have asked in the past that people not mention local events on SH, and even the ones who who don't feel so strongly about this place don't ever hang out here. This forum kinda doesn't have a good reputation within the...

    Why do some people consider Valentine a bad character?

    Because I used to play her, and have spent about three weeks playing Eliza instead? I've spent more time with Val than any other character, even though I don't play her now.

    "Instant overhead" with an additional 2 dashes worth of startup, on normals that are 18F in the first place... yeah, sounds great.

    Realistically what do you think Skullgirls' life span is after the last DLC?

    Even though you have the game on PSN, do you have a Steam account? If so, add me, and I'll at least let you know what's going on, provided that you pester me from time to time. (I probably won't remember you if you're just another forum user who I've never met in person, so the pestering is...

    https://www.facebook.com/groups/texasskullgirls/ This is pretty much the place to hear about anything SG related in TX. I don't know of anything being held in November, although if you live in the area, it probably wouldn't be hard for you to just say "hey, I live in the area, message me if...

    We (EDIT: "We" was @Krye , @Kit Ballard , and I) had a setup at Bar Fights in Arlington at the start of the month; where the fuck were you?

    Realistically what do you think Skullgirls' life span is after the last DLC?

    Online play is a bad measure to use for fighting games (plus, as the only person in the thread to say "it's already dead", I did mention that online play will probably persist for a while). Hell, by that measure, BBCT was "still alive" into BBCS:EX's lifespan, possibly longer.

    Realistically what do you think Skullgirls' life span is after the last DLC?

    Going by that standard, no fighting game in history has ever died (I'm sure there's someone out there playing Bikini Karate Fighters as I type this), so that seems like a bad standard to go by.

    Realistically what do you think Skullgirls' life span is after the last DLC?

    It's not already dead? In one of the largest metroplexes in the US, we can't even have proper tournaments for the game -- we can only have casual setups at tournaments -- because we can't get eight people to enter. There's a grand total of four Skullgirls players in the entire Dallas-Fort...

    Another training diary that no one will read or care about

    Quick note to self: to make Eliza's BnB's on Double really easy, just reverse the order of the two air chains (so, instead of doing j.mp -> j.hp ADC j.lk -> j.mp -> j.hp, do j.lk -> j.mp -> j.hp ADC j.mp -> j.hp).

    Why do some people consider Valentine a bad character?

    Sliding knockdown Oki was the cornerstone of my Val offense for quite a while. There's a reason I stopped using it; undizzy means you get one more mixup -> combo, and then your momentum is forced to stall.

    Why do some people consider Valentine a bad character?

    Updo and Pillar having their blockstun reduced by 2 frames, higher damage against assists, and assist lockout were all things specifically designed to weaken "downback behind a DP" play.
  17. Cynical

    Why do some people consider Valentine a bad character?

    Yeah, people are "discovering" things... let's ignore the fact that Updo and Pillar assist calls were nerfed THREE FUCKING TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR, amirite? People haven't "discovered" the way to play against those things; those things were nerfed because they basically couldn't be played against.

    Why do some people consider Valentine a bad character?

    Yeah, as though anyone is going to finish a combo against a full-health character, instead of going for resets. In reality, both characters are going to go for resets, and the 51% damage max undizzy character is going to need a lot more of them.
  19. Cynical

    Why do some people consider Valentine a bad character?

    Incorrect, because undizzy means that early resets are mandatory, so the amount of damage you do in your first few chains matters a lot. And Val's is abysmal. @Mr Peck , why play Juggernaut when you can play Sentinel or Mags and have infinites anyways? (EDIT: also, LOL @ everyone saying...

    Why do some people consider Valentine a bad character?

    If you want good conversions off of everything, play Eliza. c.mk converts off of absolutely fucking EVERYTHING.
