SkullGirls!

So, I like the game.

I've never, ever taken a 2D fighter seriously enough to get involved with the community. I tried with MK, but just couldn't get into it. Skullgirls might be that game, I'm having a lot of fun messing around with the characters. But I have literally no clue wtf I'm supposed to be doing in a 2D fighter. Not used to this back is block shit. The lack of a movelist really sucks, but luckily I've found some lists online.

Plan to tackle all of tutorial tomorrow, beat story mode or whatever, and jump into some online play. I'll seriously need some training... 2D is like an entirely different world to me.

Get an SRK account and check out the Skullgirls section over there. The community is generally friendly and the Reverge folks (Mike_Z, Ravidrath) post alot.

Also, FOR PETE'S SAKE EVERYONE SHUT UP ABOUT HORNET BOMBER. Even if it were going to get fixed, it's NOT FIXED NOW so you might as well learn to play against it. Learn to deal with it - snap in Double and kill her, hit the assist with your own as a punish, learn to predict when they'll use it and dodge it, duck it, jump and pushblock to maintain your position, move in during her long recovery, etc. And who knows, once you do that you might not think it even needs fixing. Yeesh. Players who complain about that now are just gonna complain about Napalm Pillar or whatever tactic the people they can't beat adopt next.

It's not HALF as bad as Doom or Psylocke or CapCom was, or even the "completely unescapeable" Cable+Storm tornado trap or walking Sent+Blackheart pillar or Gambit+Iceman or Marrow+Tron or how about Ken's DP man that thing is huge AND invincible and he's got that launcher into hurricane for 70% so cheap!* I swear, people, the game has been out for mere WEEKS, you don't have ANY IDEA what dominating tactics will be found that you don't even know about yet. Where did that drive to improve go?

* yeah, I know you think I'm kidding, but perhaps it will lend some perspective to realize that all of these things were being complained about as hard as Hornet Bomber is currently...and look what happened to them.

Now if only more developers had the balls to tell scrubs to "STFU and learn to deal with it."
