[quote name='corrosivefrost']lack of move list, bad design on training stages, jump felt funny on a pad -- tutorials don't explain tag or assist buttons/mechanics...

i really like the animation and thought it looked great. some of the tutorials felt nice and were well done with teaching combos, etc.

not worth $15. patch in lobbies, spectating, and move lists, then hit PSN discount for $10 and I'm in.[/QUOTE]

-Lack of move list is meh (its on the damn website! or I can tell you)

-Agree on the training part

-Jump felt funny? Which character were you playing? They all have something different!

-Tag, assist? Simple. Assist 1=LP+MK or MP+LK Assist 2= MP+HK or MK+HP Tags are just the mediums for tag 1 and heavies for tag 2

-PS I know how to unlock costume color 10. If you are nice to me, I might spill the beans.

The jump didn't feel too funny to me, although some of the characters move really strangely (like Parasoul where she pauses every step). The lack of a move list is kind of bad, shouldn't be hard to find it online though. It's ridiculous that the text for the moves in the tutorial goes behind the characters, haha. And I'm not sure if the demo didn't have all the tutorials, but the actual game does explain the tag and assist buttons in the tutorial (basically MP+MK for partner 1 tag, HP+HK for partner 2 tag, then LP+MK or LK+MP for assist 1, and MP+HK or MK+HP for assist 2).

Parasoul's movement is very irregular. At first I thought it was all the characters and was like wtf. Once I played around with the other characters though I got used to it.

When the tutorial that's available in the demo tells me that characters have "unique chains", that seems like something that would be specified in the move list.

Besides, I'm not going to keep a laptop/tablet/phone near me when I play or waste a bunch of paper and ink just so I can have access to what is pretty much a standard feature in all fighters for the last 10+ years.

When they patch the move list in, it becomes worthy of consideration, though the lack of lobbies is a big knock for the online features. How are Josh/Icebeast/Uraizen/Hank/myself all supposed to play together? There's a lot of reasons that SFxT or even BBCS get more playtime between our group; they have lobbies -- a bunch of own KoF13 now, but I don't think it'll move into heavy rotation anytime soon anyway solely based on the fact that we can't *all* play together.

It's just disappointing. For being a "loveletter to fighting games from people who play fighting games" or something like that, they dropped the ball on a lot of stuff. Based on the tutorial, it also looks like there's no such thing as an overhead unless it's a jumping attack? Do standing attacks whiff on crouching opponents in general? Because the tutorial flat out states "you block mid and low attacks with crouch block. only standing block if you see someone jump". That seems like an odd decision, if accurate.

Icebeast, there are 4 tutorials in the demo: (1) dodge peacock's dropping object/bomb on the floor by walking/jumping, (2) [see above] how to block; block some mixups, (3) might have been something about basic normal attacks? Don't quite remember, but it was similar to (4) which was basic combo class where they mention that each character has specifically unique chains and the text gets hard to read because of white on white and large command blocks. I found it hard to read because of the contrast as well as the fact that they named EVERY attack...
 
I was actually meaning to text you to see what you think of Skullgirls, Uraizen. I'm glad to hear that it's actually not all that great because we still got tons of SFxT and SCV to play! :D
 
[quote name='CaptainJoel']KOF13 I'm not all that interested in, but I will pick up BBCSE.[/QUOTE]

I'm just kidding... well, most of us have BBCSE (except hank/icebeast, I think... mikey/myself/josh/uraizen) and we were playing regularly until SFxT -- it's conceivable we'll go back to that at some point, who knows -- uraizen is kind of the unofficial fighting game coordinator.

I know Hank/myself/Uraizen/Josh all have KOF13, but there's no lobbies or spectating, which makes it something for 2 of us to try out when the others are playing something else. In a strange twist of fate, last Thursday or Friday, uraizen busted out UMvC3 and whooped my rusty ass.
 
Just a heads up, Legend of Grimrock comes out in a few hours, and if you preorder it through the game's site, you get 20% off. It comes with a steam key.

It's a tile-based first person action-RPG/Puzzler and it's been getting really positive impressions so far.

First off, this is a DLC type game. Reverge was in way of their heads in the first place, being able to see the game live on the network is just plain awesome. So some stuff not being in there was because they cared about their animations and core gameplay first. So lobbies not being in the game is sad, but at the same time, the online is silky and buttery smooth (with a decent connection).

There are plenty of overhead attacks from standing that require the player to block high. I assume you are wondering about Parasoul's st. HP, which in fact is not a high attack. Look at her f+LP and B+HK, both of those moves hit high.

If you can look past some minor things, you'll find a simple game that will have a deep and fun fighting game.

Also, anyone see my name? IT'S IN THE CREDITS!
 
I liked Bulletstorm, but probably not enough that I would have played a sequel anyway.

It was kind of a one time novelty thing for me. Shooters are a dime a dozen, and that one didn't leave me wanting sequels really.

Ya, actually in the full game tutorials Frost they have a tutorial for doing mixups and you have to use Parasoul doing j.HP, c.LK, c.MK, then either do c.HK if the CPU doesn't block or do b+HK for her overhead if they do block and succeed 3 times in a row.

And I think what they meant in the tutorial you played was that you should always block high when someone is jumping in since those attacks are only going to be overheads (but maybe it was worded badly, I just assumed there were standing overheads, and they showed up later in the tutorial).

The game actually has launchers too for air combos which remind me a lot of the MvC3 launchers, which I guess wasn't covered in the demo tutorials. The launching attack is different for each character though.

Yeah, the lobby thing is a downside, and it means our group wouldn't be able to play together, so it's a legitimate knock from our vantage point, or at least mine... would I buy it without lobbies? Sure, but at $10 and with a movelist. Period.

And I was wondering about the overheads because the game flat out says in the tutorial that you should always crouching block and only standing block when you are being jumped at. It doesn't mention overheads, it just tells you to block Parasoul's mixups by blocking low unless she jumps at you. Gives people playing the demo or trying to learn the game the impression that there might not even be specific overhead attacks.

Pure black is simple, die alot. Pure white I believe you need to be online because you need to be helping people out.

As for Skullgirls credits, I am in the fun section that is very Japanese. I think you guys can figure out what section I am in.
 
[quote name='j-cart']Pure white I believe you need to be online because you need to be helping people out.[/QUOTE]

Black tendency is gained from dying in human form in a world.
Tendency shifts to white for events such as killing bosses without dying, killing primordial demons, etc.
While you can gain white tendency from helping others or from defending against black phantoms, it is in no way necessary to play online to change this.

Towards White
Kill a Demon (boss) in a particular World (+1)
Kill the Red Dragon (+1) in 1-2
Kill the Blue Dragon (+1) in 1-4
Kill the Black Phantom Form of one of the 5 special named NPCs that appear in Pure Black World Tendency
Defeat Black Phantom Executioner Miralda (+3) in 1-1
Defeat Black Phantom Scirvir, The Wanderer (+3) in 2-2
Defeat Black Phantom Lord Rydell (+3) in 3-1
Defeat Black Phantom Satsuki (+3) in 4-1
Defeat Black Phantom Selen Vinland (+3) in 5-2
Defeat a Primeval Demon (+3) (once per world per game)
Defeat Black Phantom NPC (see above) and 1 Primeval Demon without returning to Nexus. (+6) (once per game)
Defeat Black Phantom NPC (see above) and Primeval Demon without returning to Nexus, and then defeat 1 Boss. (+7) (once per game)
Kill an invading Black Phantom
Resurrect a summoned Blue Phantom

Italics are actions online.
Bold is a way to shift from pure black to pure white in one section of a level, should you be skilled enough.

Price drop, PSN discount, whatever. Oh, and don't forget what site you're on. This isn't SRK or GAF, buddy.

The short of it is this: I'm not giving them $15 for no move list and no lobbies, especially not after almost a 6 month delay. They waited too long, I have no less than 6 fighters in a stack over there. I'll put my $15 toward TTT2 and be a-okay with it.

Was part of, yes. Then I watched them fuck it up, IMO. Between being made to wait an extra ~6 months (I'm pretty sure it was originally supposed to be released in Nov/Dec 2012) and having them drop the ball on basic features in their "fighter made by fighters", not so much anymore. The demo didn't impress me either.
