And Mane 6 gets to use the Skull Girls engine.  What I really appreciate about this campaign, is they kept on adding more value and more things for the fans.  This wasn't a half-baked...give us money so we can make our game for free.  It was a love letter to the fighting community.  We want to make something awesome for you, and we want to show you how much we appreciate and love your support. 

This kind of community outreach from developer and gamer is usually unheard of, and I just really love it.

I think that's the way he gets back at people for disagreeing with him.  "You disagree with ME?! I shall smite thee down with furious vengeance!"

In unrelated news, I was playing Mortal Kombat II to get the achievements, got KO'd by the AI once. Then, even though the round was over, the AI didn't stop moving, walked all the way across the screen to my KO'd character, and threw him. From off the ground. I busted out laughing, it was so absurd. **** that AI.

[Spak-Spang]

Many of the characters I would have voted for are still in, though some of my personal favorites are also gone now.

I really like the idea of Molly, and I am sad she is not going to be in the game. 

That said I am thrilled that Stanley is still in the running (though I can not imagine him making it past the next round.)
Also Isaac and Panzerfaust look great...and I believe both of them have a chance to make it. 

I would love a character that had a fireball that pushed them back the force of the shot was so strong.  And then allowing that force to be used to rebound off of walls and such. 

Finally I really like the art design of Eliza so I wouldn't mind her in the game.  Part of me though wants to see both the spots filled with male characters and Skull Girls would have 3 total mail characters.

[S-U-P-E-R]

The guy compiling the votes posted this:

Places 2-5 were practically tied in this round. All fell within 50 votes of each other.

A lot of the vote thus far has gone this way, so you shouldn't give up on your favorite characters just because they were eliminated early, etc.

I'm pushing Isaac because, well, I just want to see time travel implemented into a fighting game for the first time ever.

mail characters.

[Spak-Spang]

SUPER:  I like Isaac, and I want him to win, because I have no idea how the time traveling mechanics will work.  Even seeing the video about how it will work is confusing.  Plus, I want to see more time travel gimmicks than just you do a combo and a counter determines if the hits land. 

That isn't time travel to me.  I want to see multiple Isaacs on screen.  I want to see the ability to jump back in time like 30 seconds and continue a successful combo and then be pulled back to real time.  I want to see jumping back in time and preventing an attack from happening....basically crazy stuff...that seems impossible for a fighting game...I want it a reality.

Where's my Injustice coverage?

[S-U-P-E-R]

Maybe in like the two other threads people have posted specificially about Injustice instead of here

[S-U-P-E-R]

Apparently Deathstroke is the Ken Masters of Injustice? I don't know if/when I'll get a copy in animeland.

[S-U-P-E-R]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA



video game fun fact: beowulf was 9 votes away from #4

[Spak-Spang]

Sigh...oh course it was all girls.  And of course NONE of the intersting characters go voited.  I am sad.  SO I guess I am hoping for either Eliza or Minette.

[S-U-P-E-R]

RIP BEOWULF

Minnette is an amazing name for a girl.

[S-U-P-E-R]

I think Aeon and Eliza are verrrrrrrrrrrrrry interesting, actually!

Aeon will be able to manipulate time. Rewinding time, playing stuff back (!), and probably also the slowdown/speedup boosts that have been done in other fighting games games. Will good Aeon gameplay look like a crazy TAS video? Maybe! Think about Braid or Prince of Persia or ZSNES with savestates or whatever, and how you can rewind time in those games. Also Aeon is a hikikomori otaku god.

Eliza bleeds silly amounts of blood, and then can use that blood to fight back with some weirdo moves. Demo! I guess she also has a spooky skeleton inside/with her that can come out and fight. Kind of like another stance I guess?

I think Annie seems a lot less interesting and will probably play very straightforward like Sol Badguy. Maybe her rabbit will help out like Bridget's Roger.

Minette is speculated to play like the TvC version of Roll and other kawaii uguu clumsy characters. Maybe she'll have a heal move? I dunno. Melty Blood has further kawaii anime maid shenanigans. Edit: she also levels up like UMVC3 Frank West.

Here have this

man some of those guy chracters made me wish they were in the base game.

[Spak-Spang]

Aeon is now the character I want...I knew there were two time characters I forgot the second character...I am glad she is still in the game.  Honestly, they can probably add some of the moves Isaac would of had for her.

[S-U-P-E-R]

I was watching NCR ( http://www.twitch.tv/teamsp00ky ) and this came up!



Get you one! C'monnnnn catch a ride!!

[S-U-P-E-R]

AYYY THE RESULTS ARE IN. THE WINNER IS ~* ELIZA *~

Minnette is an amazing name for a girl.

I just figured this out today, comrade.

[Halbred]

Thank GOD.

[S-U-P-E-R]

The second round is starting!

Thank you for contributing to the Skullgirls Indiegogo campaign!
 
In case you missed it, the first character vote selected the Egyptian-themed, blood-controlling lounge singer, Eliza!
 
Since we were feeling meta, we put the vote up for a vote. In the end, the community decided to change to a faster, ranking-based voting system.
 
Here is what the new voting system will look like:
 - Round 1: Rank all 30 characters
 - Round 2: Rank Top 20 characters
 - Round 3: Rank Top 10 characters
 
Each round will only last 3 days this time around, so don’t delay!
 
In addition to the character poll, we've once again thrown in a few other questions to help Lab Zero and Autumn Games serve you better in the future.

In other thrilling Skullgirls news, the patch for 360 should be live tomorrow-ish! Patch notes are pretty long, but the gist of it is retuning for everybody, some new free palettes, faster loading time, and expanded tutorial and training modes. Also, the DLC colors should be available for everybody on every system everywhere.
