Skullgirls is coming to Mobile!

Or they could be playing it because they find it fun and/or people like the characters? I don't play it but I can see why others do and I don't knock people for it

I mean, really, all the drops are cosmetic and can be earned without paying a dime. And it mainly has a progression system because people wants one when you really didn't need one? But that's a whole seperate discussion.

ppl are complaining about having to pay for stuff but like
Who cares. It's not like theyre having me pay to progress the story/game(like soooo many other mobile games).
After all, if the game is free you should expect some form of microtransaction. things aren't made for free.

Dude, no. Just no. Overwatch is the morst example. It has poor progresion system, poor ranked, microtransaction etc. It's example of abomination between paid game and f2p game, taking worst parts from both. People playing it because it looks flashy, shiny and they paid for it. As a game - it is "Battlefront EA" from Blizzard.

I like it.
 
Might as well post here too since I'm following the spotlight thread.
 
Man if this app ever comes to the Japanese market re-writing all these puns so they'll make sense to the Japanese language will be a pain.

Good to see Mike Z's game design sense will be injected into this version of the game.

Sadly if Fighting Game Development is any indication none of the other bigger mobile games will care and will continue to make the same mistakes and still make money hand over fist.

Cynicism in that post aside, the brand name is VERY important. Given recent fighters, one may truly argue the brand is more important than high quality as long as some very minimum quality bar is met.

I'm sure the progression system won't be too bad, but we can only wait and see.
 
Im not sure if this has been asked before, but remember how Marie, Umbrella and Dahalia were absolutely neccessary for SG2? If there stories or reasons for that in the mobile game, could we properly segue into 2 without needing a True Story Mode for SG1?
 
I personally wouldn't like that because that means we would be cutting off the main platform (consoles/PC) from a "True" story.

Except Skullgirls the First is 99% sure to not be getting more characters so that's already the case?

I, for one, would be satisfied with the "real" events quickly summarized with sock puppets.

Were getting new characters sure but are they full characters? I always assumed that it was going to be fun side stories that if someone really cared about the lore could delve into for fun. and the True story would be reserved for Sg2 if it ever happened or if the characters were added to SG1 along with the true story (but like you said 99% unlikely to add new characters.). Plus a lot more could be done with a true story on the mainline consoles then on a phone. I dont have my hands on the game yet so im not making judgment to the story but my guess will be it will show more details into things we are aware of but dont know about. (like how fortune stole the life gem, her gang, and how she got cut up.) Fun but not necessary stuff.

fortune getting cut up and tossed into the river next to the remains of her friends.

FUN
Carol getting abducted and horribly experimented on.

FUN!
 
I gave a mobile game money for the first time the other day with Pokemon Go. I bought Pokeballs, an Incubator, some lucky eggs, and some Lure modules. I've never felt the need to give a mobile game money before and something about that game made the decision easy. I don't know if that is relevant to anything, but I'm usually very selective about what I give money. Maybe SGMobile will be the second game I give money?
 
What are the odds that money from this game will go back into the community via tournament prize support?

Assuming unlikely. They might! I'd certainly be more willing to buy things in that case.
 
Personally, I'm more interested in knowing how much of it will go into Lab Zero's piggy bank for a possible SG2 or future projects but I assumed this would be pretty hush hush legal stuff they can't talk about yet so I haven't asked.

If Lab Zero's only a consulting role, and the main development's done by Hidden Variable and the IP is still Marvelous's Edit: Autumn's, (whoops, thanks Mike Z!), probably not a lot. Hopefully they're getting paid for their new work/animations/story, and hopefully they negotiated a nice cut of the sales. Still, it's an awful lot of slices for an unknown quantity of pie.

Obviously lab zero should make skullgirls go

Autumn's.

And Autumn has been the one that has funded EVERY SG PRIZE POT that people keep crediting LZ for, btw. LZ's request, but Autumn's money. Combo Breaker, NWM, NEC, etc.
Juuuuuuuust sayin'.

It certainly isn't the incredibly buggy barely-ready-for-release state of the game...so maybe it's the fact that you actually wanted to play? :^)

I played the Japanese dubbed version of Skullgirls and a lot of puns were straight up untranslated, and in English. Only real change I could hear (with my limited knowledge of Japanese) was how Ms/Robo Fortune used a lot of "nya"'s. Probably would be the same.

so what you're saying is Skullgirls Mobile won't stop me right as I hit the finishing blow by having the app completely freeze and I hope and pray that it sent to the server that I won, let alone started the fight at all? Mobile game innovation.
 
I want Pokemon Go to work correctly so bad. I've never played a game I knew was functionally terrible this intensely before.

I mean shit with Pokemon go i realized "This is bare bones to what I can do already in my handheld portable game." The problem with Pokemon go for me was that the illusion of fun was easily broken for me. It was buggy, basic, nothings around me, I catch Pokemon and level them up, so what? I can do that in the 3DS game with more content.

I hope the SG mobile isn't buggy (Which I do have faith) and content wise it doesn't need to be as jam packed in content as a console game but I don't want it to be at least more than basic. that way it would keep me playing (which from what I've seen the unlocks seem like a good idea to keep me coming back to play it.)

The world is already becoming divided between the people that forgive PeeGo for everything because CATCHING POKEMON AND WALKING, and the people who didn't need an excuse to walk places and prefer games that work. :^P

Think long term: if this goes right and boosts the brand enough someone considers funding SG 2, they'll need Lab Zero to do it.

To be honest, a lot of fighting game devs would benefit of hiring them as consultants (or listening the FREE advices Mike gives every now and then). I just don't know how the other companies take the criticism from a competing dev...

Sorry to be pedantic but this isn't completely true. Autumn aren't the ones funding the pot bonus for GUTS 4.

I disagree. As far as the game, I'm actually having a lot of fun just driving around while sharpie is in the passenger seat catching pokemon, finding new places with stops, new areas with new pokemon, or gyms to take over. I'm also enjoying the experience of getting on a bus and hearing everyone talk about Pokemon, a thing I thought would never happen again after middle school. There's also the experience or being able to talk to a random person on the street about somethung that used to be so far from socially acceptable I could only talk about it at events.

If Pokemon Go was just about walking and Pokemon, the Pikachu pedometers would have taken off 15 years ago. I'm not forgiving or excusing anything about the game, but i believe there is more there than just the pokemon and the walking, and that stuff is worth it for me to stomach the bad.
