KOF XIII is rumored for a PC Steam Release. That is kind of on the borderline for playing multiple chars though

What I don't really get that I tried to multiply the number of contributors with the price of their tiers and add up, and it was just less than a third of the whole sum. I tried this at around 600k and sum was just 120k.

A lot of people must have paid a lot more than their respected tiers

I think the game needs one more zoner, so I'm probably going to vote for Marie/Beatrix/Venus. Ultimately I'd like to see one of them + Isaac, Hive, Taliesin, or Minette.

I also suspect Stanley is going to get a lot of votes, which is a shame, because his description makes him sound like the absolute most generic character in the pool. Inspired by Slayer, Iron Man, and Cyclops zzz.

I think the Steam beta came out a few days ago, correct me if I'm mistaken. Anyways I hopped right on it because 1, I'm a PC gamer, never owned an Xbox 360 or a PS3, and 2, fighting games are a completely new territory to me. So far I'm having a blast! ... despite getting my ass handed to me every single online game. I do however have 4 very proud victories when I was matched up vs someone my own skill level. Those games were thrilling btw, I hope the match making system fixes itself or something.

This is literally my first experience playing a fighting game, think of it akin to discovering Starcraft for the first time. It's really refreshing to try something new, especially after playing shit MMORPGs that get spit out every season.

So anyone else besides me try out the PC beta? I see that the last post was made several months ago, I'd like to see who in the TL community is playing SG on steam. I'd like to get some practice games going between newbies and vets in the Beta as well, cause really it's tough to try to break into a game when nearly every person (not even "ever other" lol) is locking you down in these crazy combos and crossing you up the second they see the opportunity to.

The PC beta interface wise seems kinda off to me. Small things like not being able to I click on the screen, not being able to easily config your keyboard for the game (big thing I'm sure), and although I said I wanted to play some practice games with people... I'm not even sure how to set up a private game.

I'm also thinking about heading out to a used electronics store to buy a fight stick. I remember seeing some at a local tournament and always thought how cool they were. I just hope they can work with the PC...

edit: jesus, combos are pretty hard in this game (if you want to do optimal/close to optimal ones). I'm getting used to it though.

can you specify whats hard about combos in skullgirls? im not really into hard combos. played the shit out of sf4, so i am well aware of links and stuff, but now playing injustice and i love just hammering my combos in like half a sec before they even start

Got the game on steam recently but I haven't gotten in much playtime yet. I'm not that well acquainted with anime fighters, only played a little bit of Blazblue and some Guilty Gear a loooong time ago but I like the change of pace from SF4. It´s hard to find up to date information, both the srk and dustloop forums are practically dead for this game. Learning the hard way is still fun tho !

SkullHeart would be the place to go, but unfortunately the forums just disappeared (lol). They're working on getting it back up, but until then you're best bet to ask anything is probably the Steam beta boards. AFAIK the Skullgirls wiki on SRK has good information - especially regarding the game systems - but as far as character data, Mike Z updates the game pretty much everyday, so I'm not sure if it stays up-to-date on that.

Thanks for the links!

It's actually kinda refreshing to try to learn combo's via trial and error rather than just looking them up online and memorizing them. It just means the combo's will need some fine tuning for max dmg as time progresses. It doesn't bother me as much because I like grinding in training mode
