Skullgirls

Actually, cross platform play is pretty unlikely from what I heard.
Anyways, the beta's been out and I am a backer and I have been enjoying this.
Pre-ordering the game on Steam should also give access to the beta, which is also set to continue after not-beta release in order to test upcoming dlc characters and other shit.
Here's to the PC Indie fighter!

Guess i've had this game for quite a while now on Steam, quite good fun, the singleplayer, atleast. The game has a rather merciless reputation of its online play so far, and highly abusable tactics, so i havent quite ventured into that yet, even after 120 hours of play against the AI (mostly out of boredom). :P

I guess the practice did kind of pay off atleast, got a good handling on 6 out of 9 characters, basically everyone but Painwheel(the whole flying to combo gimmick is so far off from the other characters), Cerebella (i guess grapplers arent my main thing, cant do the 360 worth shit either on this keyboard) and Fillia (havent quite learned any good combo's on that one yet, they all seem so short and ineffective, one hell of a quick dash attack though).
But maybe friendly multiplayer matches might be interesting at some point, as the AI is getting a tad easy at times on Nightmare, and its not that great for practicing or maintaining safe attack chains in case of them blocking it. Using the same name for the Steam account as i do here.

And the new character Big Band is already making its way through the beta it seems, though still incomplete at this point, and from the sound of it not entirely balanced yet either, havent tried him yet though, hope he isnt too gimmicky to control and combo with...

2 day free weekend for this game, so if you want to try it, now is the time.

EDIT:

Can't boot it up without a blue screen! Yaaaaaaaay-- WHY

EDIT 2:

Doesn't do that, as long as I have Steam Community turned off for it.

Poll on beta changes (mostly about nerfing touch-of-death combos) here.

Well, now that they've nerfed the whole long-ass combo thing with a more tight undizzy gauge under the health bars, i really should try the multiplayer at some point. Especially now that I've got a computer that wont take 5 minutes to load the freakin' game due to a dying hard drive.

So i wonder if there's anyone to play with that is going to be fun to play with a bit more casually instead of having to wait out long-ass and reset-heavy combos? I guess if anyone's willing to give it a try, my skill level at the game isn't too bad; can beat the Nightmare AI no problem, with good ol 10-30 hits per combo depending on the character, sometimes more, if i actually try hard on the combo. Maybe even the odd reset while in the air, if the character is any good with those. Though sometimes i feel like giving some space and ending a combo early, whatever's on my mind i guess. :P

And if whomever i'm facing isn't very good i guess there's still 3 characters i don't quite have a good grasp on yet and i could pick those to make things rather fair.
Hm, wonder when they'll be done with Big Band, he seems like halfway there by now, just needs more animations and coloured frames. (And probably a load of balance tweaks.)
