Them's Fightin' Herds

>Velvet can hold D to tornado people away
awesome! creative little anti air there

Why do some combo starters force undizzy to start negative but others don't?

the more i watch pom the more i think she'll be more akin to a skullgirls character who can capitalize off of resets and set ups. The comparison to Ms Fortune should be obvious too. Also her jC is MASSIVE. it crossed up late after i would have expected the move to be completely done. sweet
 
I'm super in love with Oleander's idle, I think I might just pick her and fred if only because of their dynamic.

Did you watch the stream? They're going to completely scrap and re-concept that animation because Lauren didn't think it fit the character. I agree with them honestly, way too cutesy.

It's over an hour long, I have trouble watching anime that's about 30 mins. Darn, oh well, I'm up for badass and hairfoof too.

I don't have a problem with the cutesy, myself. It felt like a fakeout-lead-in since then she'd turn around and have these wicked spell attacks and the creepy book. Plus I like the perspective of her idle turning from an animation aspect as well.
 
So is the beta thing for backers only for whenever it ends up coming out?
 
Yes, you need to have contributed to the $40 tier or higher to get into the beta.

My own impressions about it were both "cute" and "but does it actually fit Oleander".
That said, might as well keep it for comparison with whatever the future idle will be.

i was expecting her idle to be more... brooding. I mean she has a book with TEH DEVIL inside it and she has dark hair with pink highlights in it. The wonderful signs of a teenager with magical powers full of angst...

nah i'm kidding. Her idle should be that or a more calm studied look, like she's in a library ready to tackle a bunch of books for the afternoon. READING RAINBOW COMBAT EXPERIENCE!

I can already imagine thousands of threads complaining about "censorship".

You have a very fertile imagination.

I think you didn't witnessed the censorship crisis that ocurred on SkullGirls steam forums not long ago.
 
tbh i think Twilight's idle from fighting is magic ould suffice for Ollie. Like, they are similar characters despite some obvious differences so it could transition well

And these two things are related because...?

Because if people complain about 2 or 3 pantyshots being removed from a fighting game that's filled with them, it's 100% possible that they will complain about the change of an idle animation in another game. I know it's a bit of a stretch and I was mostly joking on my comment, but I learned to never underestimate human's stupidity.

Off topic:

It is a tad interesting that if you change an animation because you don't want to sexualize the character, people lose their minds.

If you change an animation because you don't think it "fits" the character, everyone is perfectly fine with it.

And the net effect in both cases? The same... fucking... thing.

On topic:

I super dig Oleander's book crawl (a hand pops out of it and it crawls to her location on screen).

Also, I have not been able to watch the whole thing. Did they address how they are handling infinites? It looked like he had an infinite going when he was using Pom's heavy and the digging puppy.

The idle animation was never in the finished game, TFH is way nicher than SG and nobody heard that they were changing the idle.

Completely different situations.
 
Everything shown thus far has been and continues to be heavily WIP. iirc, we even mentioned during the stream the reason for the animation change. I'd find it in the archive and link to it, but it's a lot of archive to go through and I really don't feel like doing it.

You know... because Mika's ass slap wasn't even in a finished game.

Your words, no one elses.

Literally what are we even talking about
idk but it sure as hell isn't about ponies or any other animal that is being used in this fighter. or it's mechanics.
 
Can we talk about how Oleander turns Medusa mode during some of her magic/stronger attacks? That's pretty cool and little hard-to-see touches like that are awesome.
 
Medusa mode Oleander? This I have got to see.
 
Just waiting for my confirmation email P:

And now I just need to wait for my registration to be approved... yay.
