Skullgirls Stage & Background Discussion

i cri now :(
Thanks for the pictures though.
 
Also the whole trip up is faster, and the entire background with the girders etc was massively changed and gets darker as you go up.
Nice to know people notice little things and not big ones. :^P

[edit]@Zazz Floors will never reflect characters, we don't have enough rendering time.

I wasn't sure if it was faster, but I did notice it was way fast by the time it gets near the top. Was there always a gradual speed increase as it goes?
 
I'd say this is now my favorite stage. I like the music and atmosphere, as well as the idea of the background constantly changing mid fight in a way that's not obnoxious. Also the view from the top looks great now.

I done messed up. : ( (Either that or there's some crazy telephoto lens thing going on and those buildings are from the next county)
I wouldn't say there was a mess up. I noticed that Medici tower wasn't established as being so massive until Squigly's specific stages were released, which was well after the stage was made for the SG's original release.

Compare it in the ending shot of Peacock's story (where it looks like many buildings stuck together which is consistent with the tower stage) and the intro/ending of Big Band's story where its more a massive monolith (and consistent with the rooftops stages).

I guess the tower's exterior & new meridian's skyline got redesigned for Squigly's DLC?

Or we can just say multiple universes are involved and its all Aeon's fault.

Lorenzo's office doesn't necessarily have to be at the very top of the tower, guys.
Aaaaactually...

Lorenzo's Office.png


You can see the shape of the window, tiled floor, paintings, potted plants and desk.
Fucking hell Willy puts some amount of detail into these.

I was already amazed by the little touch of there only being cars on the highway in the lanes moving away from the tower in Assault. I hadn't even noticed all the stuff in the office.

Oh yeah no that's also new, sorry. Anims etc there, Willy is great, etc.
 
I've been trying to put in the ifearchange code on the loading screen to change the music on the Glass Canopy stage & it's not working.
Am I doing something wrong or is it just a glitch?

- It's on the logos screen (MarvelousAQL etc).
- It doesn't work on console, only on PC.
- If you type codes you'll hear SFX with each letter you type.

Ohhhhhhhhh.
Thanks. :)
 
Two things go into a stage: art & music. I love all the art, but not all the music.

Fav music:
River King Stage
Class Notes
Medici Tower
Under the Bridge
Maplecrest

I usually like faster music that isn't too dark or heavy. So I tend to pick those stages the most in a lobby.

One of the only stages I never pick in is Marie's stage. The background is cool, but way too cluttered, especially with team play for me to tell what's going on.
 
at this point glass canopy Pc w old muzik is my fav..I feel its my home court when I pick Parasoul.. I like River King Casino and N.m Rooftop equally..both thier music and stages are both great..I still heart Maplecrest but at this point, I've played there so much I just go every now and again for nostalgic purposes...Elizas stage is great but I hardly play beta...I have a new respect for Medici Tower after it got a touch up
 
I'm a big fan of street stages and transitional stages. So the top two for me would definitely be "Under The Bridge" and "Medici Tower". I really enjoy how the bystanders change/rotate every time in UTB, I also enjoy how sometimes there's two guys watching the bridge afar, as well as the big guy with the glasses and the little dog. Call me weird, but I always like to imagine what they are seeing from their POV during a fight.

I also enjoy Medici Tower, because it gives off the same vibe Rolento's stage from SFA2 did. Slowly crawling up to the top, to overlook a certain vista. And while it's not the most eventful transition I always enjoy the nonchalant attitude of the background characters in this stage. It's like this stuff happens pretty much everyday lol.

Holy shit those posters hanging from the ceiling.
It's all a giant cocktease.
 
Hype hype hype hype...
 
I wonder if it would be possible to color map the posters so that they'll change depending on which colors you pick.

Response is no, worth a shot,

I hope the banners get animated to wave in the air.

Also I can't wait to hear the stage's theme song.
 
I do wonder if it'd be possible to get the original artwork done for the NPC banners.
Because two of my favorites are shoved off to either side where I can barely make out their names let alone the actual cool artwork.

Not exactly relevant to the topic, buuuut...

Match Start
"Spare some change?"
"So... hungry..."
"I don't want any trouble."
"I found this spot fair and square!"
"Which way to New Meridian?"
"Would you like to buy a match?"
"Have pity; I have brain damage."
"I'm not for sale/that kind of girl/your whore!"
"You can't see Maplecrest without Cerebella's eyes..."
"C-can I help you, Officer?" (Vs. Big Band)
"Come to step on the little people?" (Vs. Parasoul)
[Samson]: "Told ya this was a bad part of town."
[Samson]: "You know where we are? We're in the jungle."

Match Win
"I like your clothes..."
"This is my spot!"
"Are you, by any chance, hiring?"
"G-gimme your money! Please..."
"I blame the economy."
"Share this time, Samson..."
"Thank you. God bless."
"Need another performer?" (Vs. Cerebella)
"You're all a bunch of fascist pigs!" (Vs. Parasoul)
[Samson]: "Take his/her wallet!"
[Samson]: "Beating up homeless girls? How low can you get?"

Match Loss
"Should've gotten... a degree..."
"I don't have anything to give..."
"I just wanted a job!"
"Harassment! Harassment!"
"You'll get away with it. You always do..." (Vs. Big Band)
[Samson]: "I'm a veteran!"

Beo stage looks cool. Thanks for posting that.

This may have been asked ages ago, but I might as well ask because I've heard this for other games like P4AU.
Does the stage affect netplay? Such as a complex one with animations causing more lag than a simpler one?
 
Hobo Filia needs an assist super where she calls in a favor from Hobo Ryu.
Cause it's not like we have enough Filia clones already.

So we got an early Beowulf stage. If you fly up with Painwheel you can see all the not obvious banners. I spotted Leduc, Adam, Illeum, Andy, and Yu-Wan (along with the less obvious but seen before Beatrix, Scythana, and Stanley)

This is a neat stage.
I think the stages are getting increasingly themed around the characters they debut with.
The wolf/arm/chair/belt banners basically drive the point home that this is Beowulf's home court!

Not sure if this is considered off topic: But who would he fight in his story mode at this stage? I mean what possible reason would he square off with one of the girls there of all places, with an audience!

Speaking of the audience, they're defiantly the least interesting group of background npcs in the game, but I don't think the npcs are really SUPPOSED to be the draw of this stage!

Also, I actually like the filler music. It's unfitting, but I always liked that tune. I hope the stages theme isn't guitar heavy.

"The WULF IS BACK, ladies and gentlemen! And, as the People's Champ, he's willing to give any of you a chance to test him! Who thinks they're man enough to take on the Wulf?"
*sea of hands raise and audience shouts*
*giant Vice Versa hand raising and waving in the crowd*
"Oh, come on up! The Wulf will take the BIG MAN right THERE!"
*Cerebella jumps into the ring*
"Oh. Well then."

There.

This makes me believe the whole thing will rotate in the 3d version, which would be super cool.
 
interesting things about beo's stage currently:

Mrs. Victoria, Persona's character from maplecrest, a bunch of other schoolkids from maplecrest, a spooky guy in a trenchcoat and fedora, and an Abraham Lincoln looking man are a few notables from the crowd.

Almost all of the stage is mirrored in the stage's file.

The banners are actually drawn the way they look in the stage currently, so it's impossible to see what they would look like facing you. That means as of now, unless the stage changes, we won't be able to see how sick and badass Adam's poster is from the front.

Thought I'd share these bits for those of whom are unable to find this stuff out themselves.

Beo's stage looks great up close, and I gotta say, that Roxie banner is in juuust the right place! It's a good thing the characters aren't quite fighting center stage though, because I could totally imagine Big Band hitting his head on those speakers when he jumps, heh.

Anyway, now all I gotta do is figure out how to set that "Disco Ballz" track as the BGM until the official theme is out. Skullmod here I come.
