So the other day I bought "SkullGirls" for the 360 and I have to say it's a pretty damn good fighting game for being released on the XBLA! The characters look great (when I say that I mean the art style) along with the stages, the online runs smoothly and it even tells you the PING status right before you jump into a match. The game kind of feels like MvC2 which that was my game back in the day. The only thing that I wish they had in the game was the moves list, right now there is currently no moves list for the characters so you have to go on the website and download the "Characters Guide" to look at the moves of all the characters.

With only a few characters in the lineup it's hard not to see the same characters in every match but that's really not a big problem but hopefully they add some DLC characters in the future which I heard 2 more are being added to the portable version of the game called "SkullGals." I'm not sure if the 2 characters will be added as DLC later on but hey why not?

Whats unique about the single player mode (or as we like to call it Arcade Mode) is that the AI seems to act like an actual human player, even on "sleepwalk" difficulty the AI is sure to kick your ass one way or another. Now since this is a team game it's not actually based on teams. You can choose to either to have 1 super powerful person, 2 powerful people, or 3 strong people to play with. The health evens out for which ever option you choose.

Last but not least is "Story Mode." Now the story mode is not in actual FMV format but it uses dialogue and cut scenes to explain the story, the story actually isn't that bad. It explains how each individual SkullGIrl is related to the story and tells what there cause is. Other than that I think this game on a scale of 1-10 is probably an 8. Sorry but I wish I didn't have to go on the computer to look up a moves list and I wish there were FMV cut scenes. Thanks for taking the time to read this everyone and sorry for the big wall of text.grin

I picked this up on the PSN and dig it too. The art style really is impressive, not to mention the amount of frames per character sprite animation. The voice work is solid too. I agree with Inferno that it reminds me of MvC2 except MUCH more balanced.

Training mode goes into some fighting game staples and starts off pretty basic but delves into more advanced play in a way that helps you understand the game mechanics. I've yet to take it online (sticking with training and arcade for now) but I've been enjoying myself thus far.

On a side note, Skullgirls is at the current Power Up 2012 tournament and the Top 8 is set for 7:30 PM EST today. It's nice to see a game this new at it's first tournament.

I agree that it's nice to see a new fighting game come out and be in a tournament especially since it's not Street Fighter related. I'm curious to see how the tournament players hold up to this game, it's going to be quite a show!grin

Fucking love this game. Played online a couple times, haven't fought one spammer, I've only had one laggy match and that fight wasn't so bad at all. There will be 2 more DLC, Squiggly and Umbrella. Rumors for more DLC on the Facebook page. They are going to add more stuff in the game as patches such as Replay, the moves list, share your battle on YouTube, concept art and shit like that.

Sweet! I do hope they add more than 2 DLC characters in the game. I like how they're adding replay and the upload to YouTube feature.

I know I'm pretty excited for that feature. They also sad they are working on a male DLC character as well. I highly doubt they are only going to put 3 DLC characters, I'm sure they will put more once they got all the features out of the way. They are also making PSN avatars of the characters. They don't know about Xbox gamerpics since the picture is so small so we will wait and see for that.

I know but it's still stupid that something like that wasn't included regardless of the excuse. Even so the game is wonderful.

Playing it now. Pretty good for a Fighting game. They're gonna add more characters in the near future as DLC anyway so that's cool.
The AI is a bitch though...

It's pretty crazy that they already have tournaments for a indie game that just came out. I see this game going really well in the future, especially when DLC hits.

who do you guys like to play as.

do you focus more on 1on1,1on2,1on3,2on2,2on3,3on3 battles. i heared the less characters you have gives you more damage but your health doesn't retain after you beat a challenger.

characters i'd most likly use are painwheel/filia/valentine as my main team.

I usually use 1 person vs how many the opponent uses. And my main is Cerebella. I really don't have a 2nd or 3rd. If I had to choose the other 2, it would have to be Parasoul and Valentine since I'm somewhat decent with them.

Yeah Parasoul is more of a keep away character than anything else.

Parasoul doesn't suck at all. She's a keepaway like Inferno says. You just have to nail her moves and use her properly to your advantage.

Learn how to use those bubbles maaaaaaaan.

If Parasoul is in the right hands she can be amazing, unfortunately I haven't ran into a great Parasoul yet.

You can't deny anything, dude. That's what she's meant to do and how she's really meant to be played. You just play her differently then expected.

That what I mean. Fuck the way she's supposed to be played, I'll play her my way which is to beat your ass close up instead of dropping lil shits everywhere.

Except not really. She's balanced to incorporate her tears and specials to mixup ranged annoyance and rushdown. It's like saying that Kitana in MK9 has to be played strictly as a ranged character and to do otherwise qualifies as "duder yer playin her wrong!".

Don't believe me? Check out the game developer's walkthrough on her. I'd say Peacock is the frontrunner for being this games ranged character.
