Does the Vita have region locking? If the JP voices never make it to PC as dlc or something (which, I may not remember right, but I thought was said to be unlikely?) maybe I'll just get the JP Vita version for fun.
No region locking for physical games. You can still play it on your main account and get the trophies or whatever. dlc is region locked [not patches though] like usual, but almost 100% sure all the 2nd encore stuff including dlc characters would be included in the game.

Anyway having a physical is useful since not every machine I run into has SG pre installed. Also last time Lab 0 went over this somewhere they confirmed they are not getting the voices for the Western versionsx. I'm personally more interested in owning a physical copy of this game, but a different set of voices feels like a bonus.

That said nothing wrong preferring one language over the other. I'm sure mainstream Japanese gamers would like it since it's in a language they understand [kind of like what happens here when we get English dubs for Japanese localization titles] and also avid subbed anime/japanese game fans here probably recognized most of these voices right away since a lot of them are industry veterans.

Sort of, it's technically not region locked, physical games from anywhere always work but you can only have one account per memory card so as far as digital is concerned you're either only EU/NA/JP/etc. or you have multiple cards.

Here is more details on the LE specifics.

Looks like from first glance since no knowledge of the language

- Physical game with special LE boxart by Ahad
- 32 page physical SG artbook

Was going to import anyway, now I have to for the CD and box.
 
Waiting for the Amiami preorders, I don´t like preording through play asia, instant charge on preorders not cool.
 
I like the decision to focus on butts... I mean Squigly.
 
any idea if the JP retail copy with have text options for english ?
 
Does it really matter? SG menus are extremely easy to navigate. Only problem would be story mode, which I can't imagine you don't have access to otherwise.

it matters to people who will spend money on it.

I can't read Japanese and I am spending money on it, so I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean.

Again, the game is extremely user friendly in terms of being able to get to whatever mode you want without any problems. Thinking about it, tutorials and training mode may offer some issues, but again, why are you only buying this version specifically?

much like the japanese- i am VERY adverse to digital only sales model.
it is very anti-consumer in the long run and i cant bring the game over to a friend's place for parties.

if the tutorial bits can be in english it would be helpful to know.
id like to buy the limited edition ultimately.

And I completely agree, which is why I am buying it as well, I am just saying that as far as taking it to a friends house the game wouldn't really present problems unless you were going to sit down to do tutorials with them, assuming there is not an English option. If that specifically is a problem, then I don't have the information to help you.

Though, while you won't be able to read the actual text parts, a lot of the tutorial is something you should be able to understand just by inputs.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying that makes it perfectly okay, I'm just trying to give what information I can.

I thought they only charge you once it ships.

In fact, it says right on the page:
Not yet published or released. We do not charge your credit card before pre-orders are being shipped. In stock on Jan 28, 2016

Yeah, it looks like if you pay with paypal, it's instant, but you can delay paying for it.

Will the JP retail also include the English voices? (I really enjoy the English VA so I'm curious..)
 
So @ARCSY_Event tweeted this out they apparently updated the special section with VA information on their japanese skullgirls page. Anyone know if this concerns their experience with VA for SG or is this just general bio info. Sadly i can't translate it due to it being an image. I could use a image to text software but free software that covers this is not really good. Anyone can maybe enlighten me on what this new info is?

Here is the tweet.

They are commenting on their characters. But I have no time to translate it right now.
 
Not surprised considering there haven't been much word on whether the Vita version is done yet let alone ready for Japan to distribute. Hasn't been released even here yet.
 
Quick, someone change the Marie 300% scene:
Two Six weeks™
 
Vita isn't done, we just got another round of bugs today. >.<

Also, rest-of-the-world Vita release is waiting until after Japan, because they're doing full QA checks anyway so they find bugs that need fixing for everywhere.

Why are Marie and Squigly's HP bars flipped
is it a controller port thing
The image is just mirrored. Look at the board in the background

Wrong. That's one of the two challenges where you get to control Marie, meaning you're on the left side.
Oh, ok. thanks. D=
