The following ripped straight from SRK:

Squigly

• UPDATE - The fundraiser will open on February 25th.
  
• Squigly will take approximately $150,000 to complete.
  

UPDATE - Peter Bartholow

I know that $150k sounds like a ton of money, and it’s only that cheap because we’re taking huge paycuts to try and make it happen at all. A full cost breakdown will be provided so that people can see how their money will be spent.

• The rough outline of the drive’s goals and stretch goals are as follows: Squigly, Squigly’s Story + Stage, Male DLC Character, Male DLC Character Story + Stage, Third DLC Character Chosen By Popular Vote, Third Character Story + Stage
  
• If the original Squigly goal is met, production will begin immediately regardless of whether or not the funding drive has ended.
  
• Official Squigly voice additions have ended, but interested voice actors can still e-mail Lab Zero asking for an audition script for a chance to try out.
  
• If Squigly is completed, she will be made free for a limited time for everyone, not just people who contributed.
  
• UPDATE - This free period will last three months and will be open to all platforms.
  
• eightysixed will donate 50% of sales of their Salty Cupcakes pins and $10 from each t-shirt sale to the fund.
  

Other DLC Characters

• Leduc is not the male DLC character the first stretch goal is talking about
  
• Stanley Whitefin, the Science Shark, and Panzerfaust are both eligible contenders for the popular vote DLC character. However, there are several other characters, some of which players have not even seen yet, that will be revealed and made eligible as well, should the funding progress that far.
  
• Marie is a contender for the third DLC character, but is not “easier” to make than any other character. Only 100 frames of animation out of an average of 1500 were made for her, and only 5 lines of dialogue out of an average of 100 were recorded.
  
• Peter tweeted that Stanley Whitefin is Ms. Victoria’s husband but very quickly said that was a lie.
  

PC Version UPDATE - Peter Bartholow

One of the reward tiers will include a Steam code for the PC version, and exclusive beta access. This is basically a chance for non-Daigo people to playtest characters and provide feedback.

• The PC version is not very system-intensive. It runs on Mike Z’s “toaster” of a computer and should run on any modern setup. Pete says it runs just fine on his Macbook Pro.
  
• The team is looking into porting Skullgirls to DirectX11
  
• The PC version is confirmed to have online lobbies.
  
• The team is currently looking into adding online training mode and replay recording to the PC version.
  
• Crossplatform play with the PS3 will, unfortunately, not be included. Steamworks, the technology that makes it possible, is not an approved middleware.
  

Other Details

• UPDATE - Michiru Yamane agreed to compose NEW music for Skullgirls if new stages can happen.
  
• Skullgirls is capable of running at 1200 FPS unrendered on the PS3 and Xbox 360.
  
• The Skullgirls team has reached out to Zone, creator of high quality NSFW flash films, for the vectorized lifebar assets created for one NSFW Filia parody.
  
• Autumn Games is still very interested in working with the LabZero team on Skullgirls. If their legal troubles turn out well it is likely that a Skullgirls 2 will be greenlit.
  

Mike Z signed off the night by saying that this crowdfunding drive is, essentially, the only way development on Skullgirls can continue. The team is currently receiving no money from their publisher due to the lawsuit. If the crowdfunding drive is not successful, then the team would have no money coming in from the publisher or the fans, which will effectively halt development on Skullgirls all together.

Starting today, Skullgirls gets released in Japan, as it was foretold here:

http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2013/feb/06/skullgirls-gets-overseas-release-available-japan-february-14/

It's a really good call imo, not just because of Valentine herself, but because of the sole fact that Japan is in smoking hot love with this game, based on all the fan art I've seen from there and also because it could pass off as a Japanese fighter due to its mechanics and cute designs for some of the characters.

It will have Japanese text, of course, but it will not have a Japanese dub, so everyone still speaks English, just like every Marvel character in the Japanese version of all the Marvel vs. Capcom games.

I so I expect it to do well over there in download sales like it did in America, if not BETTER. It already shook the ground with that in America & possibly Europe. What will Japan yield?

Conclusion: Although Skullgirls didn't win the Breast Cancer Donation Drive for the 8th EVO spot, it's making up for that due to how much money it made anyway. No matter how much it's "dying", it's still growing anyway thanks to the support that it's gained.

Hey everyone I got SSF4 for a month only (PS plus). So I plan to play the **** out of it.
Who wanna play?
Add me PSNID: Ozyroth

Peter Bartholomew of Lab Zero games has come out and said that finishing Squiggly and making a yet-to-be announced male character will be the first characters to be crowd-donated on. There is also talk of them having various tiers of donations with one giving the donators a beta version of the game on PC that will contain the DLC characters currently under construction at the time.


As a piece of good news for everyone, Squiggly will be free to everyone for three months upon launch. After that free period, she will be $5.

I hope this is the case, KOF 2002 UM needs more exposure.

Everyone is a fear of losing someone they love very much but the only thing you can do is say don't leave me but it is too late they have already leave you behind but don't worry you well see them again in heaven and sometimes you are scared that you well lose a friend sometimes you do and you can't do anything about it and sometimes you can just talk to the person well i guess sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't work oh well don't worry they well come around sooner or later as i say love is love no matter what happens just say you love the person b/c you never know went that person well be out of you life forever but don't worry you well see that person again in heaven one day.

I understand that Nether realm Studios have been able to edit the DC characters almost as they please. 
Alot of these design really improve the DC character's look in this game and gives it a real fighting gamey feel.
Except for the one I posted above.
WHAT IS THAT. NATIVE AMERICAN HARLEY QUINN? Why? 
She barely looks like a clown let alone threatening.
IMO her and the Joker look the most misplaced in this game. 
Unless their Alternate costumes give them a more threating and larger than life look, this gives me more reason to hate the amount of Batman characters in the game already.

Not only does the new balancing add character attacks & add a new stage for free DLC, but it also enables Youtube replay uploading from which replays can be both saved from online & local matches!

I wish more fighters would get unexpected free updates like this.

Well, I figure I might as well reveal the age old question many have had. Where DID such a name as FABULOUS as Terry Yum Goong come from? Well friends, that shall be answered today with a single video.

http://youtu.be/Kk0kufx74Io

Keep in mind, I did not make the original video nor did I make the HQ version that I linked. I just thought the name of the video was fitting for joining a fighter site. So sit back and enjoy.

If there was darkness in the world, and death to the world if there was darkness in my heart or death to my heart, and if the world end right now and no one but me and you were still alive I would love you forever then I would lay you on the ground and ask you if you really mean that I would say yes I really mean that now if you were to say love is the best and worst of emotions, can replenish your soul or destroy your heart. Then you will be in love or just got out of love with someone and sometime you might just say you are the world to me and the world will never be the same without you any were  maybe sometimes you say that you can’t live without that one true love and sometimes you might get your heart broken or you will find someone else who will really love you for the way you are and they way you look that might be true love and then again it might not be true then again you will finally find the right someone you been looking for along they might be right in front of you along and you never know it so next time someone says they love you better say I love you back to them you never know that might be here one minute and then the next minute they might be out of your life.

Who bought it? Seriously, there were quite a few of you around here who wanted it and all. I was honestly surprised when no one even posted anything here about it on the release day. Then again, considering what was said several weeks ago or so, I guess I shouldn't have been surprised about the lack of posts here.

But yeah, anyway. Anarchy Reigns has been out for a couple days now, who has it?

well everyone, I know this site is pretty much dead now. but I still want to post this, I am a man of my word, and I siad I would post it when it came up
.
I know, I siad 12-21-12 is when it would come out, but it got delayed because the animation for the death battle itself was not finished in time, the animator Mr. Lange had a few problems get in the way, and a few things took longer to render then he thought. thus, he had to delay it to get it all finished and said the fans deserve the best. and as it turns out, thats what we are getting.
 
This is the Finest Death Battle EVER! they have done EVERY kind of reasearch imaginible to come to 1 ultimate final conclusion.
 
well thats enough blabing...lets finally get to it. its time for the ULTIMATE DEATH BATTLE!!!!!!!!

http://www.screwattack.com/shows/originals/death-battle/death-battle-goku-vs-superman

oh, and just a heads up, the vid is also the longest one ever, around 30 mins.

Bane and Lex Luthor confirmed for Injustice: Gods Among Us




Now what do I think about this? Well Lex Luthor is pretty much a gimmie. I was just waiting for them to announce him. Bane, on the other hand, is a big surprise to me. I didn't think they would actually add another Batman character on this game. At this rate, Robin may be announced as well as Mr Freeze lol


I'm actually excited now for this game. Bane would be an awesome grapple/strength character to fight against. Will be tough to beat him, but that makes the game even more enjoyable. I wonder.....would they give him like a buffer effect like Hulk or Collossus from MvC?

Who would be the next people they should announce? Hopefully its someone unexpected again. Looking forward to April's release for this game

Join us Friday night and get in some matches against the up and coming premiere Seth main C the Breaker.

Happy Holidays everyone!
