Quick Look: Skullgirls

Girls with skulls!

this is Tuna with Bacon!

Finally!

I wonder if Brad knows he's in the credits for this game.

The Gorilla fate is yearning

edit: Holy crap the load times are insane on the xbox, super quick on the ps3

Girls with demon umbrellas!

A fighting game feature all female fighters in scantily clad outfits? It's like it was MADE for the dumb sexist fighting game community... oh wait...

BOOOBGIRLS.

genderless as long as you have big boobs apparently

Sex with violence.

The no moves list rears it's head~! rrowrwrrrr~!!

Ah snap! I totally forgot to get this game with Fez and Grimrock. I'll go grab it, though-the devs seemed cool when they visited and it seems like a fun game to throw into a LAN tournament.

This game is sexist!

FIXED!

Oh my god these loads. Was it that hard to at least add a next lession button to at least take out the loads to get back to the menu. Why does it take so long to get to the menu anyhow?

Teachers with sticks!

I watched some of this during PowerUp last weekend (shout outs to Spooky), and I was very impressed. It's taking me some time to like the art, but the gameplay is really good.

This quick look so far is doing a good job of unselling me on Skullgirls. Think I'm just gonna stick to BlazBlue for now.

OH GOD, LOOK AT THOSE GIANT ARMS STICKING OUT OF HER HEAD, SO HOT! I'M CUMMING!

"Couldn't tune into the encrypted channel, reload and try again" it said..

confirmed brad is into punishing.

Girls & Skulls bro, APPROVE..... BRO-PROVE!

Genderless means "Only women" apparently.

@TechHits: Also, elicit hotel room bedding.

wtf is up with the art deco UI?

I'm actually surprised how much I'm liking this game.

Oh, so fighting games continue to be no fun at all.

Good to know.

This looks like a pedophile's wet dream acid trip.

Since I really like this game, I have to list several complaints I have about it.

Frequent, overly long load times and stuttering during load screens. Glitch where hitboxes will become visible sometimes. No movelist (wtf?). Pretty basic online features that lack real lobbies, spectator mode, and replay saving. Lazily produced story mode.

Despite all that, I think this is one of the best fighting games I've ever played.

Glad I skipped this. Weeaboo junk.

The weird thing to me is that they spent all of that time hand drawing the animation, but it has so much detail and flies by so quickly, it just looks like a jumbled mess. There isn't enough time on any of the cool frames to really see what the hell they're pictures of.

What's he listed in there for?

Interesting... Oh, and great quick look.

I don't think any of the characters in that game are under age. Arcana hearts on the other hand.

Filia is 16 years old, Peacock is 13 years old and Painwheel is 15 years old. You can find this info as well as other things like their bust size on the official site:

Oh god, the disproportionate breasts!

Good to see that, no matter where Giant Bomb ends up, Brad is still B(r)ad At Games.

Too bad this game isn't officially at EVO

wow really? I wasn't even disturbed because of pedophilia because I thought they would all be "18", but hahaha

I friggin love that character select music.

I think that this is great TNT material right there, think about it.

Load times aside, this is a really good 15$ game.

I want to touch Peacock's face.

@jeak: Without a lobby system it'd just be Brad/Jeff getting dunked on for 90 minutes.

The game looks fantastic at least.

@MiniPato: He's in there under "Special Thanks", not quite sure why.

Also in an age of ipads and laptops, not having the movelist in-game doesn't seem like THAT much of a problem when you can pull it up in front of you

Hey this game is pretty fucking good and people should play it!

"flailing around and mashing buttons hoping to win the fight" 

ah, so it's how i play fighting games.

Just to clear things up, in order to meet deadlines they had to sacrifice some things like movelists to implement much more important core features such as GGPO setting screen and touch button button config.

They ARE patching them in along with the other fixes to minor gripes people have with it.

also, those load times on 360 are pretty bad. Have been playing the PS3 version and they're not nearly that long.

Art style is a bit too garish for me, but hey, to each their own.
