@Fluttershy It is dumb and that is the point. But it is also a fighting game at the meta level brought down to the absolute(ish) minimum of controls, so it's all about spacing, timing and reading your opponent
@BenBrocka I'm not nearly good enough to say what is objectively a bad matchup, I just know there are some characters who i automatically lose against and I wont be able to get over that unless I get really good or they are really bad.
@StrixVaria Hard how? The game strikes me as pretty accessible, but actually fighting people online depends on the skill of the opponent, which is awlays a problem
With SkullGirls there are 6 required buttons and only 4 face buttons on all modern controllers, so it's already hard to get into before we even get into what those buttons do.
There are 2 huge control issues that keep me from really liking SkullGirls: 1) The joystick is unusable and I have to use the dpad. 2) The game requires 6 buttons but the controller only has 4 face buttons. Shoulder buttons for attack moves are awkward and shitty.
If I could play it without having to contort my hands and kill my thumb on the dpad, it would be so much better.
It's best on stick, but I really never found the shoulder buttons that annoying. Why contort your hands? Your index finger should be resting on the shoulder buttons anyway
Not sure if the analog stick is any weirder than usual, I never use it for fighting games because it doesn't stick in the corners like an arcade stick
@BenBrocka My index finger naturally rests on the trigger. The game doesn't register the trigger, however, and requires me to use the bumper. This is especially difficult with the left index finger. QCF+Left Bumper is really hard to do.
@BenBrocka If you do a QCF at speed it doesn't register; it skips the Down+Forward input and just registers Down, Forward.
@GnomeSlice Strix is saying that the game is (like many arcade 6-button inspired games) designed with the intent of a 6-face button setup like on a fighting stick, but most gamepads don't offer this. That Halo also uses 6 buttons on a 4-face setup is irrelevant.
@BenBrocka Unless my controller literally recognizes SkullGirls and decides to stop working. I can't figure out a plausible explanation other than that SkullGirls just has issues.
I actually heard more positives about the satapad for its D-pad than for the fact it had 6 buttons (and in fact, the fighting game we were all talking about it waaay back in the day was a 4-button game in the first place).
Plus overall, it's a 6-face button gamepad with shoulder buttons, it can work for both your needs in an arcade face and as a general use gamepad.
I prefer 2 shoulder buttons and 4 face buttons for non-fighting games. At least I will once the PS4 controller is out and I don't have to use the weirdass convex triggers
I hate mapping those to actions in PC games because every time I set the controller down I seem to bump R2/L2

I am using my iPhone to play the trading-card game Marvel: War of Heroes (also available on Android systems). I was wondering how attack boosts were counted towards overall attack power?

Hi Michael!
First, GameStick will ship to our backers and then that is followed by pre-orders. The stores offering GameStick preorders will receive after our backers, which is mid-September.
Thanks for checking in!
I just realized that Autumn is coming up soon, but I wasnt sure when it arrives in ACNL...
Does anyone know a specific date?
