    Option to select rounds in 1vs1 matches

    Don't you kind of get the same effect as having rounds by just setting the number of rounds to 1 and saying "Play Again"? You fight until somebody runs out of health, then positioning, health, and super meter reset like the start of a new round. Repeat as necessary. I usually think the same...

    The team palette-matching thread

    I love this thread. Color coordination is the foundation of any successful team, whether designed to look as beautiful as possible, or as gross as possible. Most of my teams start out as fun color schemes, and maybe eventually move into testing someday.

    How do i Peacock?

    If you're intent on zoning, keeping a MP Shadow Of Impending Doom charging can be a godsend. It's a nice buffer against reckless rushdown. Some players will wait it out on the other end of the screen, so you'll have to drop it before it hits Lv. 3 to minimize the cooldown time, but anybody...

    Making The Leap From Mediocre To Adequate: A Detailed and In-Depth Analysis of Why I'm Not Quite Bad

    Progress Report 2 Damn, this report is long overdue. I suppose that trying to go to college, look for a part-time job, and design my own fighting game all at once doesn't exactly leave me with a ton of free time, especially now with the new Super Smash Bros. game on the horizon. But, I've made...

    Team Popularity Database

    Going to change my team from forever ago. Used to use Peacock (Bang! (L)) / Cerebella (Lock 'N' Load (H)) Now I'm going with: Peacock: Shadow Of Impending Doom (M) (Charged) Cerebella: Excellebella Big Band: Beat Extend (L)

    Future Contest Ideas - Gaming Forum Edition!

    No tournaments? Damn. I was kinda hoping for a Typing Of The Skullgirls tournament. That's still a thing, right? Having thought about this a little more, I'm kinda liking the idea of prioritizing resets over combos. People do combo videos all the damn time. Maximum damage combos, ridiculous and...

    Future Contest Ideas - Gaming Forum Edition!

    Somebody recognizes me? Now I feel special! (Too bad my stuff only works because it's ridiculous, and nobody is stupid enough to actually anticipate anything I pull on them.) Well, now that I'm done being late to the party, I kind of agree with the sentiment that just making a ridiculous combo...

    How many combos should I learn to start?

    As for blocking resets, I've found that the best thing you can do to avoid them is to learn as many as you can yourself. Check out the character threads on this forum, and see what everybody else is doing. Once you know the setup, watch for that setup, and you'll know that something is coming...

    Peacock Combo Thread

    Well, I don't see a thread for resets anywhere, so I might as well drop this here. Has anybody else been cancelling the first hit of s. HP with Shadow Of Impending Doom to create a grab reset? I've heard that you can convert off of Peacock's grab if you have a shadow charging, but I can't seem...

    Looking for a Peacock player as trainning partner.

    Well, I'm not particularly good, but I can certainly be obnoxious as all hell at times. Depending on your skill level, I might be an unstoppable wall of destruction or a doormat, though I suppose that's true of all matchups. I've never actually played against anybody for more than just seven or...

    The Big Bando Husbando Combo Threadando

    Found a really fun, character specific corner combo using s. HK and Emergency Break. It works on both Peacock and Valentine. Big Band seems to be too big to catch before he hits the ground to save OTG, Cerebella is too heavy to get most of the links to work so you have to cut the combo pretty...

    The Hype, Impractical, and Impossible Combos Thread

    Well, I finally got this compilation done. I probably could have gotten way more damage out of these, and I probably could have found a lot more wacky stuff to do, but I'm treating this a lot more like a proof of concept than a masterwork. There are a few moves that I know for a fact won't work...

    Peacock Assist Thread

    Personally, I use fully charged Shadow assist to get wicked high groundbounces after Super Sonic Jazz. I can also get some pretty stupid damage into my Cerebella combos for relatively low effort, though that may not be the Shadow carrying all that weight (since my Shadow assist combo also has a...

    The Hype, Impractical, and Impossible Combos Thread

    Well, as long as I'm still working on a general Shadow Of Impending Doom compilation, I figured that I might as well make something about the groundbounce properties you can get using a fully charged one. I don't know how common this knowledge is, but I'm sure it's news to somebody. The main...

    Big Band's Parry is Hype.

    Huh. I suppose a reset would get you Sound Stun back, and Beat Extend can set up some nice cross-up and/or Low/Throw shenanigans. But parries are fun, so I'll probably still use it from time to time.

    Big Band's Parry is Hype.

    Well, this looks like a good place to put this. Did you guys know that you can Pushblock Guard Cancel into parrying? I mean, Beat Extend is a thing, so this might not matter as much, but it's certainly more fun, in my opinion. You can avoid using Sound Stun with this, at the very least. I hope...

    Your Fighting Game Main Character History

    I can never settle on just one main. I always have to goof off with everybody, though I always have one or two best or favorite characters I can fall back on when I'm indecisive. (Games listed roughly in order of how much I care to actually play them.) Skullgirls: Peacock, Cerebella, Big Band...

    Making The Leap From Mediocre To Adequate: A Detailed and In-Depth Analysis of Why I'm Not Quite Bad

    Actually got a few matches against other people online in the past few days. A few interesting things happened because of this . . . 1. A Peacock player many times better than myself successfully convinced me to switch my Big Band assist from Take The A-Train (H) to Beat Extend (L). I already...

    The Hype, Impractical, and Impossible Combos Thread

    This one took me a lot longer to get out than I would have liked, but I managed to get it finished. Some of this stuff is dangerously practical, because I mixed in some actual things that I use against people, in addition to some ridiculous stuff I found while messing around in training mode...
