Under Night In-Birth developers interested in adding a Skullgirls character to the roster!

iono just every time I see filia I really don't see the pudge, I'm not blind I know it's there it just isn't something that sticks she really does come across not so much like that for me.

Besides with the new art style she almost looks somewhat older, which is why her growth in certain area's and lack of in others makes sense to me artistically speaking, if she's older then that's why it works if not well this universes art style still works.

Really, really wish we could've gotten anyone else besides Filia.
it being filia was the most likely scenario

she is the main character and face of the franchise.
 
Yeah, but I still don't understand why. She's the least interesting character from a design perspective, she has the least real backstory in universe, and she's a freaking shotoclone, so she's not even that fun to use.

Ah well, like I said, at least this game has some good characters in it.

It's all a matter of opinion because my view of filia is the complete opposite of icepick I feel once more back story is revealed she'll be a lot more important then she comes across, I like her simple design and if she were a sure fire clone I'd be more obvious shes a bit more unique then that also I "still" don't remember confirmation on if it was 100% guaranteed shes in if not it was just a nice piece of art, so why complain when it may not have been proven yet....doesn't make sense to me.
 
You should be thinking less about how much you like or dislike her as a character and more about how she would play in UNiB. I could whine forever about how much I wish it were Painwheel, but at the end of the day she would serve more or less the same role as Merkava and there's no point in her being in the game if she brings nothing new to it. Filia has potential and I'm pretty excited to see what they'll do with her if she's even confirmed.

Did we get Filia yet or are you guys still speculating
 
Excuse me for being a bit late and out of the loop, but what exactly makes the Dustloop leak credible anyhow? Going back and reading the statement in context, it looks to me like it was meant as a joke.

I dunno, not sure for NeoGAF. -bump-
 
Wow, I am really late for this thread. If they did put a Skullgirls character in here, it would be interesting since Melty Blood is a four button fighter, while Skullgirls is a six button fighter. Also Melty Blood is way different from Skullgirls too. Of course Under Night-In Birth might be different from Melty Blood. I really do want to see Ms. Fortune in the game.
 
All we can do is wait and see what the final word is on who gets in really.
 
So...any news on this?
I mean... I'm not really a Melty Blood fan, but it looks cool, so if it has filia in there that's a playstyle I can use as a reference and that's reason to buy the game!
 
Well, they mentioned interest in doing a PS3 and a PC version of UNIB. I'm just hoping they come through for us, at least on the latter, since the former seems more likely.
 
I refuse to believe anything until I see a legit announcement.
 
Yuzuriha confirmed for River King Casino in Skullgirls!

Quick question: Is she the main character of UNiB?

All I know about her is giant swords and some silly looking combo vids of her from the first version of the game.

I don't think so. Hyde is technically the title character.
 
I kinda hope Filia doesn't get put in because then I have to give up on maining Seth. heheh.

Really nice look of Yuzu in the SG sytle art. Always wanted to try her if I ever had a chance to play UNiB.
 
So, when is the new stream/announcement? Was there something planned for the end of January?

There was something planned for the 31st. but it got delayed indefinitely.

Funny, I don't remember Magneto having a DP or a Tatsu-equivalent.

And I don't remember Ryu ever being able to do tri jump mix ups. Or having his entire game built around them completely.

Fillia's gameplan and fighting style is more like him and analogous air dash mix up characters than any incarnation of Ryu. Period. If you wanna say anyone who has x y and z moves is a shoto, fine (there have been countless arguments about this logic and what counts as a shoto, I don't want to have another one). But we all know what play style and gameplan she was really based on.

It's not hadoken shoryuken sweep

Also though not a dp since I THINK you could throw it (not sure), Magneto had force field, which was his token reversal even though reversals/dp's in Marvel sucked horribly outside a few minor exceptions.

She has elements from both character archetypes and then some from other games. What is the issue?

She is similar to Mags, but not quite exactly like Mags.

She is similar to your standard Shoto, but not exactly like your typical Ryu/Ken/whatever.

Filia is Filia.
 
As I said, I don't want to start up this discussion again, but I do not personally consider her to be a Shoto primarily because her "projectile" (for lack of a better word) functions radically different than either a fire ball or a beam, and thus completely prevents her from using the classic "hadoken shoryuken" tactics which is the one consistent and defining tactic shotos have access to.

But that's just my personal opinion/analysis of shotos.

pretty sure Filia doesn't have any Grab-titty Squeezes or Swagnetic Shockwaves

plus I'm pretty sure Mike Z called Filia the "shoto-like", to paraphrase
kinda hard to refute the creators without going into tumblrian headcanon territory, hon.
 
I'm pretty sure Filia only counts as a shoto because she has all the same inputs of one.

Gravity Squeeze is mvc3 territory. Shockwave is just a combo ender.

I don't remember completely, but I believe he did compare her to Magneto and Peacock to Cable early on pre psn release (or maybe that was one of the articles on srk or something). And I do remember Mike posted a huge ass laundry list of character inspirations for several characters, so obviously it's not just one character.

As I said, it depends partially on how you define shoto.
