I hope this game sells billions

I can’t wait to play this dating sim !

Dat jiggle.

Microskirts and boob jiggles. No sexism here.

And why is Earl from My Name is Earl being interviewed for this?

I’m confused…
If the game has sexy woman who are 18+ in age (With the exception of Peacock) its still “Lol loli moe shit” but no one has a problem with a fighter being all guys in speedos…

Is a large part of the FGC homosexual?

This interview ended very abruptly. Good though.

You guys should crap on Mr. Sessler a bit less, I think.  They skipped a lot of the stuff that we covered, yes, but the interview getting cut down to 2 minutes has less to do with how much I talked to him and more to do with the interest that the show’s producers think the segment will generate.  He knew a fair bit about the game before we started, surprisingly.

I doubt that guy is even playing. The controller prolly isn’t even on. So much cut out from this interview, those bastards.

On another note, Valentine looks really good! If she’s the last one on the release roster, then I’m satisfied. Get that game out.

pervs!

This shitty game again?

This shitty game again?

Forget the tits n ass, he made super moves easier *gasp* must go to the forums and start a petition so Mike Z can change this scrubby way of doing supers back into double motions which by the way is so fuckin pro. And infinite prevention system?? pfft so scrubby……….

this game is an abomination its so so so so LAME.

This game is tragic.

Great artstyle.

Great looking gameplay.

Great music.

All ruined by godawful character design.  This game pretty much was made for mouthbreathers.  Like that hecatom guy and Master Chibi, boys who can’t get any pussy irl so staring at some cartoon slut in a microminiskirt(Parasoul) is the closest they’ll get.  Also nice job on the Olive Oil ripoff(aka Peacock).

Part of me is still holding back judgment on this game until it comes out. It’s only fair to it.

The other part of me is a little bit cautious. I’m not going to shout that Skullgirls is sexist because it’s not. It’s clearly provocative which a lot of other games are as well so I can’t really hold that against it without damning most video games in general. Just… I really don’t like otakubait character designs.

All I’m saying is that if the next character they release is a maid or wants to sleep with their brother then I’m gonna be really depressed at this game.

Regarding the whole debate as to whether this game is sexist or not, I posted these sentiments elsewhere, but I think they bear repeating here because people seem to have major trouble grasping a simple idea. Now, I fail to see how this is actually a hard concept to get, but apparently it is:

The creator of the game, and other men as well, DO NOT get to decide that
the game isn’t sexist – it’s women who get to decide that.

If sexism is to be seriously challenged, that’s how it has to work.
If you’re a member of an oppressed group, you get to decide what constitutes a
manifestation of that oppression to you. The members of the oppressor
group can contribute to the conversation, but they don’t get the final
say on those matters.

For some reason, people, and by people I mean men for the most part, seem to have difficulty with
this concept – perhaps because it involves actually granting some
agency to women, to decide for themselves?

I’m actually looking
forward to checking out Skullgirls, from a gameplay perspective. It looks well
animated, deep, and fun. I also think it could definitely be construed as
being sexist, just as other fighting games have elements in them that
could be considered such, which I’m not particularly a fan of.

I
also think it’s possible to separate love of gameplay with love of
content in this respect. I love chess – doesn’t mean I would approve of a
return to the days of knights, kings, and queens…

Man the game ain’t sexist you dumbass pussy whipped fucks, it just caters to anime loving mouthbreathers THAT is the real problem.  The char designs fuckin suck.

Obviously, this game is sexist. I mean, look how the mostly male development team has created a cast of characters who do nothing but cook, clean, and make babies… Oh wait, they’re engaging in full-on physical melee combat in a manner that would make the traditional female stereotype gasp in terror. NEVER MIND!!

… But wait! They also happen to be attractive, so now it’s back to being sexist. Everyone knows that sexual appeal is just a standard of conformity forced on women by their male superiors. No real woman actually aspires to be attractive without being brainwashed in some way by the media or her peers. HOW DARE YOU ATTEMPT TO MAKE ATTRACTIVE FEMALE CHARACTERS, YOU PIGS!!!
