Any thoughts on experiments with the balance of shots? Ice seems to be a pretty dominant choice.
First of all, thanks for the transparency!
Probably not right now!
I like midscreen grab into teleport a lot, I may take a look at that. Laser > TP > cLP is very far away from working right now from my tests unless you're talking about another situation, so I don't think that is happening. In the next test, when Parting Gift is one bar (and picks up from the OTG state like Valentine's level 5), any stray laser will be confirmable a lot more often without needing to make a reaction, so that will hopefully satisfy your fullscreen Rail Shot conversion itch?
The first version of Dahlia's ammo counter was built as a prototype without using our proper UI tools. This is why it would shake and jitter when the camera zoomed or shaked during hitstop. They were actually built using our gameplay objects such as characters, projectiles, the dust on the floor when characters jump, etc, for expediency.
That's amazing. It's good enough with Umbrella having her ingame fullness meter HUD. And it's with Dahlia getting an ingame ammo HUD. Also, how about adding an ammo type setting for the Training Mode? I know my feedback will push back her release a little bit. Sorry about that.
I've thought about it a lot! A lot of things already brought up I had written down myself for future experiments. I don't think reload changes are out of the question in the future (I think a few experiments are actually pretty likely), but for where we're at in our schedule we won't be doing massive refactors for reload at this time.
Hm, I don't think counting the number of items in a pros and cons is great data. I could write pros and cons list about drinking water in jest where the cons list is inflated with line items, haha.
Softie posted something similar but I didn't hear back. Is it okay if she's unable to get fireball from backdash start up? I don't mind trying that if it would help.
Yes please, that sounds absolutely fantastic!
I posted about it earlier but we won't be doing any brand new experiments or refactors of any more of her mechanics before her initial launch - but I think changes shortly after when we're in the beta cycle after Dahlia release but before Marie alpha would be a good opportunity to test some different changes out. =)
I suggested this as well a few posts back. After reload refactor, this is my most desired change. I currently avoid using it because it loses so hard to reversals. Currently you have to have a good amount of spacing to avoid them and that almost always requires meter to setup and even then many reversals can still beat it with almost no effort.
I love the idea of making this bullet destroy projectiles (at least one, maybe two of them). It would really make it more unique and have it stand out more from ice shot.
This! I forget which version I throw all the time and end up using the wrong one often if I didn't throw it in the same combo
Parting gift is a little underpowered at the moment imo. I like the level 1 change but removal of armor break seems unwarranted. Especially if I spent a bar to set it up. Also I think the damage should be increased a little as you can't DHC from it.
i always thought railshot made more sense destroying projectiles. Like most games. It's a full blow laser. idk, dont see electric shot doing the same thing. Maybe something else other than just stun cuz that kinda falls under all of them, especially ice. Would be cool if electric had 1 more small bonus like subtracting 5 or 10 undizzy per bullet. With how her routes work i dont think she'd be able to cheat out anything substantial. Otherwise railshot reflecting off walls would be sick with a thin laser trail during startup.
It would be interesting to play with the undizzy idea, but I think electric destroying projectiles is still valid even with railshot.
Neither of those are QOL changes. A quality of life change would be something like increasing the buffer after Empower for 2MP, to make it easier. Also, you get a faster crossup with backdash Onslaught.
It's easy enough to drop that I'm currently just replacing it with 5MK in my routing. I'd appreciate it if it was more consistent, for sure.
Well, Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft better hurry up and give you the green light announcement to release her because Skullgirls is being featured at EVO Japan as a side tournament and I am planning a special online casual on the PC version so that we can be off to the wait for Marie and the time I make an Orie palette out of her and begin my journey to also become a PC player. Just saying.
Yay, nice to see the main game and SGM updating almost at the same time.
