While I'm not sure if this count as a real disadvantage of having a Parasite, it was said by Alex that Parasite hosts tend to be shunned by society. I imagine something similar to how mutants are shunned in the Marvel universe.
Actually, Sekhmet is an interesting case. While she spends most of her time directly attached to Eliza, it's been shown in her gameplay write-up and concept art that she can move separately from Eliza. I'm not sure if that technically makes her a Remote Parasite, or perhaps something more unique.
Well it has been stated that Parasites can survive for a short time without a Host so maybe within the span of a battle Sekhmet can risk fighting independently of Eliza.
Hmm, yeah. That's a good point about Parasites being able to survive a short time outside the host. Squigly's dad was shown to still be alive even after Leviathan left his body, so that property seems to apply to both the Parasite and the host. Not sure if he was fatally wounded prior to that or did he sacrifice himself in order to save his daughter. I guess that's something for the speculation thread. :PWell it has been stated that Parasites can survive for a short time without a Host so maybe within the span of a battle Sekhmet can risk fighting independently of Eliza.
That brings up another question though, how can Eliza survive having her skeleton ripped out?
I think the key to Eliza and Sekhmet's special relationship is that Scythe of hers. Maybe it bends the rules.
YOU PAGAN! THERE IS NOTHING GLORIOUS ELIZA OUJO-SAMA CANNOT ACCOMPLISH!! (╬ಠ益ಠ)
Now that you bring that up, it wouldn't surprise me if Eliza is some sort of archlich and the Staff of Ra (I think that's how it's called) is the object in which her soul is imbued, so as long it exists, she's immortal.
I wouldn't mind having Sekhmet as a parasite however...I have a fear of blood so you could only believe how that would go. Although, I wouldn't mind Muse as a parasite. I mean yeah my touch would be cursed, but to what extent? Was it even stated if Ta Lie Sin's could turn people to instruments at will
Ha ha! Bravoman reference.
ohmygodthereareotherpeopleherethatknowaboutbravoman?????
Theres a list of questions that were addressed in my topic in the art forum, people are probably documenting the transcirpt now.Alright! Brian just sent me a follow-up email about the Skype call yesterday so I assume that the Skype call will be soon (soon by Lab Zero's standard anyway). I don't want this thread to clog up with questions and I don't want to start a whole new thread for it, so if anyone has any question, send them to me by PM!
Rules
- Send as many questions as you can think of! Just make sure the number is reasonable.
- I'll probably end up asking 20-30 questions, depending on how long it takes him to answer each question, since I'm planning to use a half hour for Q&A and the other half to just talk about other stuff. If I get too many questions then I'd end up having to cut some, so please don't take it personally if I have to cut yours.
- There's no first-come-first-serve, I'll rank the questions in terms of what I myself find interesting. :P So no need to rush the questions, just send them in whenever!
- No blatantly spoiler-ish questions like "what's the true ending to Skullgirls will be like", etc. Alex obviously won't answer them so it would just waste everyone's time lol.
- Lore questions only please
Yep. I missed the live stream cause I was sleeping. Gonna check out the archive later myself but hopefully someone will complete a summary beforehand. :p
Might just be me but it doesn't look like an archive was saved.
It was saved.
It's a highlight.
God bless your soul.
Some tumblr post I saw on the subject of the Q&A said:
This sounds like a glorious show tbh.
You weren't the first, you weren't the last.
I forgot to mention, try to send them a bit in advance, giving him a chance to think about the answers will yield much better results than just asking on the spot.Alright!

Hmm, the thing is that I don't have Alex's email and I have never emailed him before. If he's okay with it though I totally would. Maybe you could shoot him an email for me?
Yeah that makes sense. My call hasn't been scheduled yet so I'm not in a hurry.
I don't think 15 feet tall would be big enough to warrant only fighting the face, I just meant it as a joke.
