They put up a new gameplay video, and I realized that I don't think this forum has this thread yet. Go to 1:48. The soldier quotes Link from the cartoon.

    Hey, this game looks interesting-

    >All-Female cast

    NOPE

    It does look interesting.

    There actually are playable male characters, they just haven't been shown yet and come through paid DLC. Filia's demon hair, Parasoul's soldiers, and Peacock's minions are male as far as I can tell, at least.

    The part about paid DLC is annoying- didn't know about it until looking it up- but the gender of the roster is a silly reason to not enjoy a fighter.

    Silly enough for me to half hope you would want to play it had you known, but miss out on hearing about it because you rejected it so quickly without checking.

    LOL GENDER IS EVERYTHING

    I actually like when a work uses blatant fanservice. Not so much for the fanservice in itself, but the charming shamelessness of it. PSG was a good example.

    Speaking of which, the artists cite Gainax as one source of inspiration for this game. Parasoul even has a Kneesocks palette.

    my $0.02 on Fanservice:

    If you're throwing it in my face and still trying to have me take your work seriously, GTFO

    If you're doing it tongue in cheek and all in the name of good fun, FUCK YEAH!

    Gelzo: Eh, I can see where Chagen is coming from. I used to feel awkward playing a female character myself since I'm used to male characters (Lead to me getting very confused when I found out Samus is a woman)

    At the same time though, just try to ignore that Chagen. Eventually you won't care about the gender of your character

    "Gelzo: Eh, I can see where Chagen is coming from. I used to feel awkward playing a female character myself since I'm used to male characters (Lead to me getting very confused when I found out Samus is a woman)"

    Also, I get that all-female has the connotation of Fanservice, but seriously. Would you have a problem if the entire cast was male? (OMG! Dissidia has mostly HAWT guys! Not interested.)

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    Having an all female cast is a stupid reason to like something, and having an all female cast is a stupid reason to dislike something.

    ^^ Like I said, I grew out of that and currently can play female characters with no issue

    I know the main artists who designed this game. Like, I'm online friends with them. One male, one female.

    I'm definitely getting it. If any of you play it on PS3, we gotta fight.

    Hey, that's pretty cool. My first instinct is to ask you to tell them that I'm very impressed with the artwork in the game, but they've already heard all that jazz and I'm only another random dude on the internet.

    I don't have a PS3 or 360. I'm hoping it gets released on Steam somewhere along the lines, because I don't see myself being able to play it otherwise without buying a new console, and I am sure as hell not doing that. Fortunately, the team's Twitter says that that's likely to happen.

    I thought you liked Touhou, Strike Witches and IdolM@ster. And wanted to watch Madoka. And...

    I can like All-Female works, but it takes a lot more "work" to due so.

    Skullgirls does look like an interesting game, but I suck at fighting games anyway.
  • DYREDYRE

    The producer is male, so it's not an all-female cast...

  • ChagenChagen
    [tɕagɛn]
    Yeah, but isn't the producer just another "traitless male character that exists solely as a surrogate for the audience" character?

    Hey, here's a thread that's down one source of dumb opinions.

    Some new videos have come out. If you're interested in the game as much as I am, you might want to take a look at the team's YouTube channel. Probably the blog as well. From the sounds of it, they're going to be making a tutorial for the game that's effective and isn't boring as fuck. I find that very interesting, as I'm not the kind of person who can learn fighting games very easily.

    Here's a video that showcases some cool mechanics.



    I guess I better link this too. Ms. Fortune now has a voice, and it's awesomely punny.

    I can't wait for this game, actually.

    New character bio is up. Her name is Painwheel.

    The game will start out with a roster of 8 that will be expanded with DLC. So far 6 of the slots are taken as of now. There's been concept art of a bunch of other characters. I forget the names of most of them, but my bet for the next two is Parasoul's younger sister and this character that has a skeletal monster growing out of her body.

    Another new character bio is up. Her name is Valentine and she's an apparently evil hot ninja nurse.


    Me gusta.

    One more character reveal left. I'm betting it's Squigly.

    Does anyone pay attention to this thread? I can stop posting news if that's the case.
  • IanExMachinaIanExMachina
    I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.
    I browse the art but I don't understand the content. (It is just a girl fighting game right?)
  • GelzoGelzo
    Pony Sleuth
    Well, essentially, yes. There's a little more to it than that, though.

    Basically what makes it special is how they're handling the art, the game balance, and accessibility to new players. I could go into detail, but I guess if you were interested enough to hear about it, you could just get info from the horse's mouth.

    I assure you that I'm not psyched about the game just because it has boobies. Not that the inclusion of boobies really hurts.
  • DYREDYRE

    Honestly, boobies are the reason I'm not psyched about the game... >.>

    Also, a game being newbie-friendly doesn't matter to me and actually just makes me more worried considering other things that games have done in the past to achieve that goal.

  • GelzoGelzo
    Pony Sleuth
    It's not like they're dumbing it down, they're just planning a really in depth tutorial and making certain inputs easier to do.

    And not all of the characters even have breasts.
  • SchitzoSchitzo

    I was browsing concept art and found this.


    No clue if they'll actually include it. While I'm here, I also found this on their Facebook page.

    "I could be wrong, but I think a vast majority of the people on this page would rather play the game sooner than later. And given how many characters Alex wants to put in the game, who knows when it would ship if we didn't do DLC characters... we'd be looking at like a year delay to add four more characters, and that wouldn't even scratch the surface of what Alex has in store for you.

    Also, this game is going to be CHEAP, and with more characters it wouldn't be possible to charge as little as we'll be charging.

    The DLC characters haven't even begun being worked on and won't be until the game is complete, so don't think we're not doing anything the "Capcom way.' You're still getting a finished product in the initial download.

    Also, keep in mind that there will be updates to the game for free, too."

    Even before these two got to see a dream video game project come together I was already jealous of the style and quality of their art :(
