Greetings, Skullpeople. I'm entirely new to fighting games, with a few weeks of experience (read: no experience) with SF4. Skullgirls has an artstyle that drew me to it, but I'm really enjoying the entry-level gameplay so far. I can't really promise I'll be posting a lot, since I'm not really qualified to give opinions on most of the discussions, because I lack experience.
I'm currently trying to choose a team to play, but I'm not sure if my favorite characters can work together. Ms. Fortune is the only clear favorite at the moment, but I'm also interested in Peacock, Parasoul and Painwheel. I play on a pad, so Parasoul frightens me with the whole charge mechanic.
Once I get some things down in training mode, I'll probably start looking for people to play with, both on my level and someone who can hit my head against the floor until I learn to bite his hand. Sadly, where I live (Serbia), the fighting game scene is basically nonexistent, so online will be my only choice most of the time.
So far, my impression of the FGC in general is pretty damn positive, much better than that of some other communities (some FPS games, Dota, and some MMO games). So I'm looking forward to getting bodied by as many of you as possible, and taking part in forum business (although, again, not really on most threads, since I'm a massive newb and I don't know anything about fighters).
I make a difference between the terms "newb"/"noob" and "scrub", and I'm doing my best not to be the latter.
