Skullgirls DLC Crowdsourcing - Completed, $829,829 raised, 4+1 characters funded

Other than the character selection, are there any other questions you'd like to see in the poll?

Right now I've also got...

- Where you live
- What was the primary consideration for your character selection - Story, Gameplay or Appearance?​

Is there going to be a post-Indiegogo survey so that we can say where to send the stuff? If not, might as well ask what e-mail address to send the digital goods (if any).

I have an e-mail address for everyone, since that was required for them to Paypal us the money.

...Although a ton of people didn't give us their names, mostly in the Backer tier. So going to have to collect those somehow.


Boobs, Butt, or Legs?

Haha...

...Yeah, no.
 
Just curious, would there be any way to identify who is a charge character? I just can't play as them and I would rather not vote for one if I could. :x
 
Oh, maybe which extra thing you'd prefer prioritized between taunts, win poses, special intros, whatever else?

Oh yea, are we gonna get to find out what thing got dropped to make the extra $40K or is that a secret getting carried to the grave?

BTW, fuck me for offering to do tier upgrades. This is going to be horrendous.

Are you the guy that asked me this on Twitter, haha?

If it's not in the character info, I think that just means that Mike hasn't decided yet. And I don't think he determines the character motions until he's actually putting the character together, and just does what seems most natural for the character's moveset.

Eh, I don't know if I want to ask that, because it will probably depend on what the artists are most motivated by. i.e. They come up with a few great win poses, and so go for that, etc.

And, no, I can't reveal that information. Some of the speculation has come close, though.
 
I will be really disappointed if both the fan voted characters are girls. We need at least one more male character with Big Band.
I have no objections to a male character getting one of the slots. So long as it's Brain Drain.

Vote4Molly_zpse0a8fea1.png
Superb! Might be an unusual opinion, but I'd probably prefer using Molly without the mech. Never been a fan of larger/slower characters.
 
Okay i r not gud with fighting gamez

Who do I vote for if I want small, fast, quick and low damage dealing fighting, as them saying who they play like does nothing for me as I don't know most of what they're referencing. Like Wolverine or Spiderman in MVC2 type guys/girls.

I hate big slow guys, they're not fun to me harumph.

And if I don't vote for that, I'll just vote for the silliest looking things like Dr. Sharkhead there.
Hive- Similar to Q.Bee/Sentinel. Both extremely fast aerial characters that like to swoop in on opponents for lots of short hit combos. She'll probably have better combos than both and an air game somewhere between the two of them. Lots of potential here.

Feng- Makoto/Jam/Psyclocke? This is a recipe for grounded rushdown that will make your thumbs bleed. The better news is that her acrobatics will make for an interesting air game that no one else in the cast will have.

Beatrix- A cross between VSav Lei Lei and Guilty Gear's Baiken with a bit of Anak's projectile swallowing. She'll be a really fun trick character for rushdown and counters. Very sneaky, but I'm not fond of her looks. Unfortunate for me, but maybe she'll work for you?

Annie- Similar to some tough lady brawlers and the infamous Sol Badguy in theme. She'll probably be your traditional rushdown with nice speed and the bonus of a parasite(the bunny named Sagan) that keeps your opponent pinned for a bit so she can pull off some Gunflames and Grand Vipers. I expect her to be very explosive and magical.

Beowulf- Not much of a grappler, but a wrestler so he'll probably be pretty agile and not afraid of throwing himself at you to bridge the distance between him and his opponent. His chair throws may operate like those of Captain America form the MvC games which means you'll have lots of opportunities to close the gaps in range.

My assumptions.

Right now I've also got...

- Where you live
- What was the primary consideration for your character selection - Story, Gameplay or Appearance?​
-What country do you live in?
-What was your primary motivation(art, netcode, gameplay, etc.) for buying the game?
-What character most excited you from our initial roster?
-What character least excited you from our initial roster?
-What team size(single/duo/trio) do you enjoy using most?
-How did you learn about Skullgirls?
-How did you learn about the fundraiser?
-Would you like to see a story expansion?

Some stuff. I think being a little vague about where people live may make people more comfortable with giving an answer.

Edit: More questions...

-What joystick motion bothers you most in fighting games?

Key question for research purposes imo.
BTW, fuck me for offering to do tier upgrades. This is going to be horrendous.
Now it's kicking in. I think the very first post I made after the campaign went something like "and now Ravi's nightmare begins".

I'll pray for you, man.

Annie, Umbrella, Feng and Minette for me. The game needs more little girls and less huge breasts.

Yeah, I'll be pretty disappointed if there are no new guys added. I don't even want both Feng and Annie to win at the same time despite them being in my top 4. Game needs dicks for the guys(I never thought I'd say that in relation to the FGC lol) to give it a shot.

They don't deserve SkullGirls.

I see a fair number of people giving multiple $1 contributions that didn't understand that there will only be one vote per e-mail address...

Understandable. People would probably assume they're definitely coming too, so probably best not to get expectations set when there's no guarantees.

Also, I hope you've at least got an intern helping with the logistics.

Also, also, Mike says he'll be streaming soon.

Vote for Feng. Here's a concept video from Mike Z on how she might play. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYF_g-PKjY8

Thanks a lot both of you!

Probably gonna go Feng, Hive, and then Ottomo (because he looks kickass).
 
My initial votes will probably goes to Aeon (for blatant hax opportunities), Molly (because telephone mech), Panzerfaust (because he has a tank for a fist) and Issac (for slightly less blatant hax opportunities).

BRB talking to Zefrolie and Phantasykid lol.
They don't deserve SkullGirls.
I can't say I disagree, but it's okay in this instance. I have lots of favorites in the game already and we really could use a few more Y chromosomes up in here.
Thanks a lot both of you!

No problemo

If I do the voting thread I'll work character videos into it somehow and I like to think that they'll get the point across better. No way everyone will know how Sol Badguy fights. :p

My initial votes will probably goes to Aeon (for blatant hax opportunities), Marie (because telephone mech), Panzerfaust (because he has a tank for a fist) and Issac (for slightly less blatant hax opportunities).

I thinks you mean Molly! ;)

(Though I am also fine with Marie. In fact, I am cool with your whole list!)
 
Given it a lot of thought, I think my top 4 for now are:

1. Roxie 2. Beowulf 3. Isaac 4. Hubrecht.

1&2 I'm pretty sure about, 3&4 not as much. Big fan of engineer-style characters and high flying luchador-ish characters. Roxie doesn't seem to have much hype so far but here's hoping.

Runners-up would be: Stanley, Molly, Panzerfaust, and Mrs. Victoria, mainly because of her moveset, as a long time fan of fighting games a character whose moves are tons of fighting game references would be fun.
 
I can't vote!!! :( I got refunded.

Edit: Ravidrath, is there nothing I can do? Because if I can't vote, then that really blows. I must have my Annie, Molly, Aeon, and Hubrecht. D:
 
Now why didn't I think to contribute with multiple email addresses? Then I could have multiple votes.

How foolish of me. Oh well, my one vote still helps.

Darn my "non-cheating" attitude.
 
It has Umbrella!

Umbrella is getting her representation dues.

I feel like I'm the only one pulling for Umbrella. I guess she doesn't stand near as much of a chance as, for instance, Annie. Poor Umbrella. I'm pulling for you anyway.

Umbrella will likely be my fourth, after team manliness. 2nd round and onwards she might be out of luck though!
