Skullgirls – Salty Cupcakes Stream Archive, Q&A with Alex Ahad

Alex Ahad, Skullgirls’ lead artist and character designer, stopped by Salty Cupcakes this week to answer fan questions. He talks a lot about the art process behind Skullgirls, including how the team chose character palettes, how palettes work, and more. In fact, Alex says there are 101 palettes planned for Parasoul alone! He also talks a little bit about the future of the game, mentioning that more Skullgirls themed merchandise is in the works. More color 18′s were revealed and talked about in this episode, including an interesting Samurai Shodown reference.

One of the most interesting topics of the night included moves and animations that never got into the game. Double apparently has even more moves and animations that were cut for time, as do much of the rest of the cast. These animations still exist though, so we might see them in an update down the line.

Skip to 3:20 to get directly to the Q&A section.

    Mike I cant wait to play the update, I love this friggen game.

  • BeholdMyPower

    Why has it taken so long for Salty Cupcakes to get a front page article? Pretty sure Mike Z and co. have been hollering about this before and since the weekly was started up.

      The Skullgirls forum has an explanation, kinda-sorta.

        conspiracy theories are always good fun.

    • iantothemax

      They’ve been on the front page multiple times.

      joking aside, the harsh truth is that there are a TON of things asking for attention, and SkG isn’t terribly noteworthy anyomore.  It’s not new, and its not played by very many people.

      Be glad its not ‘omg no patch!’ thread.

      • TheAverageGuyTAG

        Eh, I’d like to think/hope that once the patch drops, the game will get more life breathed into it again.

  • sludgepuppy

    Man it sure looks like big things are going down at Salty Cupcakes! If I were an SRK article jockey, I’d make sure to post about it every Thursday at 7 pm pst!

    *cough*

    It’s a shame that Skullgirls fell through with becoming a serious, competitive fighter in the fighting game scene despite how over-hyped it was and how the community tried to downplay it’s blatant fan-service as something more than just eye candy. Hopefully the producers will devise a patch, it’ll get approved, and the scene will pick up a bit more so the game can get into EVO.

    But on the bright side, you know what game is doing very well? WINBACK, now available on the PSN store.

    • TheAverageGuyTAG

      Nice try, bub. :3 Adding a “hopefully, this game will get better and get into EVO” isn’t going to change the trollish nature of your statement.

  • chrobaciky

    When will we be able to buy all the extra characters that were promised before the game was even released.
    Take those 1000′s of palettes and stick them in your mom.
    Do some real work and get on animating some more sprites you drop kick.

    • Troy Dalton

      This. “OMG palettes and slight mechanics tweaks! I’m so wet you guys!” The game was great for two weeks and then died a young death. New characters might actually give it a shot in the ass, but ain’t nobody clamoring for colors. I’m sure the 10 people still playing will be thrilled.

        the main reason people put the game down to play others is because of the combo mechanics which have been heavily tweaked. We’re just waiting for the approval of sony/microsoft so we can finally get back into it. I still play it off and on and its a great game and is still fun to play with a remotely skilled player who knows what they’re doing.

        your way wrong…i think it was bad that they  said “hey guys,were making a patch for the game that changes the combo machanics”so everyone stop playing and waited for the patch cuz ppl thought there was no reason  learning a new combo or character because of the patch was coming out. 7 months later and the patch still isnt out >.> not blaming mike z but if they came out with the patch/squiggly and umbrella like 5 months ago,the game would of been popular
