The Skullgirls Section

Recommended Posts

IT NEEDS A MOD!

I will admit I'm not exactly with the fact Skullgirls is a mere sub-section on Dustloop, but I gladly show my support, however today has awoken to my attention something that can no longer be ignored, this section of the forum is wild and untamed and it requires some sort of guidance.

The general discussion thread has surpassed the recommended 200 pages/2000 post limit, and while a new thread was made since there is no one to lock and sticky the appropriate threads it is getting lost in the pile up of new (and the the moment, unneeded) content.

There are currently 13 threads in the SG section and in my personal opinion at the moment only two of those threads need to exist; the general discussion thread (so that the game can be discussed until release) and the fanart thread (because several members have actually been contributing to it).

To be honest I never understood the purpose for this thread? This thread sees little activity and most of it's replies were people nowhere near the area stating "I'd like to go but can't cause x", I partially blame the fact it could not be stickied to why it fell into obscurity as well. This thread seems the most redundant for the simple reasons; 1. nearly a month since it's creation and no updates, 2. the experience is based off an old build which can and has changed since then, 3. doesn't really answer much new, just sorta provides personal input. I'm not opposed to a Q&A thread but the game can literally change everyday until release so alot of stuff needs to be constantly updated and maintained until then should you go out to make such a thing.

Which brings me to my final point; the character threads that have been made thus far. I will admit I did in fact create a Parasoul thread, but I only did so because I didn't want another to make this thread and sloppily put it together, however it is for that reason I had been restraining myself from making one until closer to release. I suppose place holders are fine, but the topic creators must be willing to commit to regular changes until release, and then of course post release they must be sure to fill in any new/more accurate information. Also the fact a thread was made for a character that hasn't officially been unveiled is completely irrelevant. And as a small side note the video posting/discussion threads are also unneeded in my opinion until the game releases and we can have actual matches (preferably direct feed, we're thankful to get footage anyway we can at this point, but "shaky-cam" material doesn't need to be in dedicated threads like those).

Naturally most would think Mike Z has all right to be a mod, and while I agree he should be a co-mod, I believe someone needs to reside over it who can dedicate more time to it. Mike Z is a busy man and doesn't have time to comb through all the little things. So please higher ups, appoint a mod to the SG section and get it together.

Yeah, I agree with SoBa there, in fact, I brought this to the attention of the other staff members earlier today. I would too like to recommend SolxBaiken for mod, she seems to really be into the game and I am sure she'll do a great job maintaining this section.

I guess it is partially my fault for having so many threads appear so soon, but I don't see anything bad about it. It was quite a bother to search for some particular piece of info in the mega-thread (and we do have quite a lot of it even now, before the game's release), and making things more orderly is never bad in my book. Though, of course, that's pretty much useless without a mod, so I'd like to support SoBa and vote her for the mod's seat, too.

I agree that it should get a Moderator, however, it needs to be someone who not only knows the game inside and out, but someone who is good enough to make valid points about the system, give advice and actually be able to preform combos, traps, setups and most importantly, know the match-ups. Now, I'm thinking long term here, so for now, someone just to organize the threads is okay, if we're looking for someone to run the entire SG section then it needs to be a high-level player.

So that being said, my vote is: Make someone the organization Mod, then make someone the gameplay Mod.

Honestly, it does. And it doesn't need topics on characters when a game isn't even close to release yet. So I'd be nice if someone would clean those topics up.

I also vote SoBA.

the plan is to make skullgirls a subsection just like gg or bb when the game is released so i'm not sure what your "mere subsection" comment means. the VS section will remain what it is unless a new VS game is officially announced.

also i think skullgirls fanart should go to zepp, even though it says it's currently for bb/gg. again, this is not a huge deal till the game's actually out.

Maybe this is a good place to ask. I'm not seeing the Skullgirls section of the forum right now. What's up with that? Was it removed accidentally? Is my browser just messing up (both at home and at work)?

it was intentionally moved under misc games. sadly the skullgirls sections hasn't been getting much traffic and with teh announcement that skullheart will be working as an "official" forum of sorts meant that the sg section on dl wouldn't be getting any revival from the recent patch. as a result we decided to finally move it under misc games and remove teh mods of the sg sections.
