    Games like either SMB games that are basically repetition and level memorization

    Pure platforming games are pointless and never interesting.

    SG Game Design Discussion

    I like the idea that death is always a slide knockdown and play resumes when the downed player gets back up that should allow for plenty of time to either back off or close in for pressure -- the super animation issue would have to be handled somehow though

    Another training diary that no one will read or care about

    Does TJ know this? Anyways you're thinking about ratios in too narrow a way Sure, 2v3s have similar "adjusted" health but that doesn't give you the full picture as a 2 v. a 3 you get more out of pokes and reversals, esp. just burning meter on pbgc reversal since it does comparatively more damage...

    I want in on this also but I'm usually not around until 8 EST on a typical Monday if you decide to run any on weekends that's usually a lot better

    Beginner Questions Thread

    It's formatted as [Startup/Frame Advantage] You'll notice if you whiff moves it will show you a negative number, which is equal to your recovery On moves that hit them or they block it will show you which one of you recovers faster (you if positive, them if negative) and by how many frames

    Skullgirls Encore Edition Tiers and Matchups Discussion Thread: The Revengeance

    If we're ONLY talking about solos then I think the only matchup Valentine doesn't have at least a little bit of advantage in is v. bella and it's not all that much in bella's favor either I'd also argue that valentine is the best point character on a team but that's a different point

    [Idea] Training mode setting for unending Satchmo Solo

    You can just practice playing by pressing mp I'd think If you want to practice to see what you can fit in the allotted time I would think save states would be better for that anyways Meter draining during infinite meter does sound like a bug though

    Squigly hit box bug

    It's not a bug, Squigly has thinner and more oddly shaped hitboxes than the other light characters, and that makes Valentine's disjointed hitbox moves whiff/drop if you're too close to her or at certain heights. Usually you can make the same combos work on her by slightly delaying inputs...

    Air dash cancel.

    Why are dashes so finicky?

    Does this work to buffer a ground dash during landing recovery, or will that be interpreted as an airdash input?

    Because 360/720s and TKs will be several times harder with that setup than if you switch up to space and hit it with either thumb.

    Skullgirls Encore Edition Tiers and Matchups Discussion Thread: The Revengeance

    Both dekillsage and TJ ran bella vs Duck on Friday and won their ft7s versus him. Watch how they play, and especially watch the number of times they get damage or conversions with bella off of pbgc. You have to be right where bella wants you to even pressure her with most characters.

    Ducklazer vs The World

    I'm guessing orders have to be in before he wins?

    I wanted Decapre and I'm still mad because her new mask looks stupid.

    Street Fighter 4

    I don't see why grapplers would use it since e.g. Zangief would only get 62 more damage than a fierce spd off u1, and most of the threat of the ultra is the massive damage to begin with.

    Game Mechanics thread

    Unless it was changed and I didn't see it in the notes I believe assists are vulnerable for 3f on entry instead of 2f.

    Valentine Combo Thread

    Pressing j.mp too early will also result in them staying much higher than if you wait for the airdash to (mostly) finish before pressing j.hp. If you note in the video j.mp is intentionally delayed. Against Squigly you'll always need to wait for the airdash if you want to go j.mp to j.hp...
