Any thoughts on how the controls might work

[TheSip]

Since we already know that Skullgirls is coming to mobile devices, but we still don't know how the controls will work and how would they affect players from the pc or console versions of the game?

Just going off of the video alone it'll be an entirely different game. There are powerups, specials are abilities which have a cooldown meter, moves have entirely different properties (hairball hardly carries the opponent), so this clearly won't play identically to the Skullgirls everyone's familiar with; that almost certainly extends to the control scheme.

EDIT: Here's a video of the basic controls.

I doubt this'll happen, but I'd love to see external controller support. Imagine plugging a bulky fightstick into your tiny phone just for shits and giggles.

actually, i was thinking about it. you know those controllers that were made for phones and you just attach your phone.

Just as long as I feel comfortable playing it and not lost like on the vita I'll be fine.
