after maintenance was finished i played some of parallel and omg it was really fun! the constant notifs from the new backstage pass tho is a little annoying but thats because i just started it lol ,, also from the comments, idk why people are howling about "muh censorship" with the update at all considering theyre mainly covering up filia, who's like, 16? valentine, parasoul, cerebella, BD, ms. fortune, double (,, i guess) still have their panties out in the wind bc theyre all OF AGE. no one is going to starve here bro 😭 why are we buggin
Some people are actually complaining about Parasoul and Big Band censorship..... I mean it's not like it affects the game or the gameplay in any way, some folks will just complain about anything just for the sake of complaining....
@@djpegao i thought the parasoul / black egrets one was warranted personally, not a glaring issue but i see the implication. the big band one i dont think was needed at all considering his lore was that he got beat up by cops due to him finding out the squad were dirty cops linked with the mafia, not that hes black. i get *why* they made the change, but with context, removing that scene wasnt really needed.
I am ready. I've finished Sun of a beach and acquired Fukua's "Dream Demon" and I'm half way leveling her up. I can't wait until the maintenance is finished. Good luck to everyone
10:32 You are very good at guessing the characters. Annie is from Steven Universe, Steven's mother, Rose. Umbrella is Anya. Valentine is Kakashi and Reshiram said that Double was from Kids next door
@Raiderrrrrrr Star Shine is from Star vs. the forces of evil. The one I'm talking about is all pink, and her name is Starlight Rose. She's definitely from Steven Universe
The new Double variant looks soo coool! Reminds me of one I came up with as an idea Double Variant: Only Nothing Reference: Nothing There (Lobotomy Corp) Element:Fire SA 1: "Hello?" Start the match with a 10 second unflinching, whenever the opponent lands a critical hit, gain a 3 second unflinching, 5 second invincibility and 5 second immunity. SA2: "GOODBYE" when you land a critical hit, you have a 3% chance to INSTANTLY defeat the opponent regardless of buffs, defeating an opponent this way gives 3 stacks of regen for 10 seconds. Would be a variant similar to Neuromancer, focusing a lot more on hp than attack, allowing it to make more use of its regen and invincibility to keep it in the fight. Would definitely try to run a crit build/hp/piercing. Could serve either as an offensive variant or a defensive one.
I was hoping for a new big band variant, but instead characters that really don't need new variants have new variants. Annie, umbrella, and double have 4 diamond variants now. All while big band remains as the worst character in the game. And he's my favorite character.
I'm loving the folks upset because they won't be able to see panty shots..... they're more upset about removing single frames than issues with the game, its so hilarious
Well, puritanism and censorship are the issues here. I'm not annoyed because "Oh no the panties", but because censorship in general is a blight on everything, from all kinds of freedom to creativity. Now it did give horrible stuff like Batman's show most frightening scenes that became worse because of the censorship. But all kind of censorship is a no in my book.
ah and the art changes is towards CENSORSHIP, what some of us feared the most actually happened, they bent the knee to the SJWS and they are removing a bunch of the more "lewd" animations/arts, armbands because its a nazi thing apparently and any "racial sensitivity" theme/art out of both 2nd encore and skullgirls mobile, heres a copy paste from the info: Hey everyone, As many of you know, Skullgirls has had a long and colorful history shaped by a variety of contributors over the years. As we look ahead towards the future of Skullgirls, we have reflected upon past decisions regarding certain content that has undermined the many things that make Skullgirls truly unique and special. As such, as part of our most recent round of updates across all platforms (console and mobile), we have decided to make some changes to certain legacy content in the spirit of better reflecting our values and our broad vision for Skullgirls moving forward. Below is an overview of many of those changes and some insight into our rationale for the adjustments. ALLUSIONS TO REAL-WORLD HATE GROUPS While the Renoir family and the Black Egrets were always intended to evoke imagery from an oppressive militant regime, we felt that the way that manifested (most notably via red armbands, flags, and symbolism) was too close for comfort - especially given the unfortunate reality that some of these hate groups are still active in various respects to this day. As such, you will notice that Egret soldiers no longer feature armbands and that the heraldry of the Black Egrets organization has also been adjusted. This is a holistic pass that applies to in-game frames, concept art, story mode art, and more. CHARACTER SEXUALIZATION & AGENCY While Skullgirls is no stranger to characters that confidently express their sexuality, there are instances in the game where characters are fetishized and/or have sexualization imposed upon them. This includes a few depictions of unwanted predatory behavior, particularly towards younger characters. While alluding to some of this can be narratively meaningful, we have made a number of small adjustments throughout the game to ensure that this content is less exploitative (e.g. the opening of Filia's Story Mode). RACIAL SENSITIVITY While there are numerous playful references to pulpy themes that we feel respectfully allude to certain stereotypes (e.g. the Saxploitation VO pack), we have made adjustments to some content that we believed to be in poor taste (e.g. references to racial violence in Big Band’s Story Mode). UPDATE DETAILS A more detailed list of the changes can be found in the following platform-specific update notes: CLICK HERE for Skullgirls Mobile changes CLICK HERE for Skullgirls 2nd Encore changes CLOSING THOUGHTS We of course realize that some members of the Skullgirls community may disagree with these changes, either in terms of how we chose to address them or whether they were in fact issues that warranted addressing in the first place. Please know that all of these choices have been made following careful consideration and lengthy discussion amongst all members of the current development team. Beyond this post, we do not intend to discuss the particulars of these changes further. We are confident that this will provide a more sound foundation for Skullgirls that we can all be proud of as we continue to grow and expand the universe in the years to come. Needless to say, thank you all so much for your support over the years. The future of Skullgirls has never looked brighter, and it is all thanks to you and your efforts to help us get to where we are today. Best, Charley (MightyZug) and all of us at Hidden Variable, Future Club, and Autumn Games Basically they dont need the OG players anymore cause the game is mainstream now LOL, its the same thing we see over and over in the industry to the point i dont even get mad anymore, when a game does this i simply STOP supporting/playing/talking about it and SPENDING MONEY, so thats a goodbye i guess ZeoW
Rip, the part where they basically say "we dont care about you guys opinions on the subject" is what burns the most, my disapointment is imeasurable and my day is ruined, guess i will go back to FGO or any other game that still have their prínciples intact toward this censorship subject

@@absi49 Dude, It's a FIGHTING GAME. Can you fight in it? Yes. Back to your bench and if you want something lewd you can always go and look on the Internet. Edit: alright the armbands removal were a bit too much. The "lewd elements" argument was also overstretched judging by the total amount of censoring. Deleting stuff that people paid for (paid artbook) is also not a particularly good move on the publisher's part.

I love how the Filia and Dalia variants are just a sonic reference.
10:32 You are very good at guessing the characters. Annie is from Steven Universe, Steven's mother, Rose. Umbrella is Anya. Valentine is Kakashi and Reshiram said that Double was from Kids next door
I thought she was star vs the forces of evil

@@CuteYanan ohhh okay my bad
@@SquifferMain it's okay 👍
Yeah double is Father
The new Double variant looks soo coool! Reminds me of one I came up with as an idea
Double Variant: Only Nothing
Reference: Nothing There (Lobotomy Corp)
Element:Fire
SA 1: "Hello?" Start the match with a 10 second unflinching, whenever the opponent lands a critical hit, gain a 3 second unflinching, 5 second invincibility and 5 second immunity.

This is probably an unpopular way to play, but I use Peacock's character ability all the time
Same
Yup its useful
just got done with streaming Master Parallel and look forward to playing Nightmare and No Mercy
Nicely done!
I literally updated the game and its still on matience💀💀
Samee, it's been like 2 or 3 hours that i updated and nothing
PAINWHEELS FLYING EVERYWHERE
The Annie color palette is from Steven universe as pink diamond and lapis luxury is also from Steven universe as lapis
Will you do a review of every new variants once their gameplay trailers are out?
Yeap.
tbh, the xp treats you get are getting me to prioritise evolving my golds
The censoring of previous art really sours this update.
I was hoping for a new big band variant, but instead characters that really don't need new variants have new variants. Annie, umbrella, and double have 4 diamond variants now. All while big band remains as the worst character in the game. And he's my favorite character.
Honestly Big Band has so much HP he can't ever get good abilities or they change his whole character philosophy
Also it's every month that's 12 golds 12 diamonds a year Big Band will come eventually
@@AndrewDell-su9bu Even with all that hp he still can be destroyed easily. Other characters are better at tanking than him.
@@AndrewDell-su9bu I hope so, and hopefully it won't be a silver this time.
bro i cant update yet lol its been like 9 hours total
Well this is good news i havent had any motivation nor fun trying to play again its the same thing and im kind of tired of grinding
3:35 Painwheel Catalisys, is that your Sister?
Do all the deaths in parallel realm count to flytrap?
Probably not..
BBHOOD DAHLIA MY BELOVED LETS GOO!
The new double is gonna be broken
I'm loving the folks upset because they won't be able to see panty shots..... they're more upset about removing single frames than issues with the game, its so hilarious
The games history should be removed then since it doesnt affect gameplay. :3

Now it did give horrible stuff like Batman's show most frightening scenes that became worse because of the censorship. But all kind of censorship is a no in my book.
We should delete literally everything and replace them with stick figure animations because it wouldn't affect gameplay
They literally removed art from the art books people paid for years ago, that's just weird.
none of the fucking replies make sense lol this literally doesnt effect anyone and yet theyre complaining
Nah nah the new Annie is definitely Rose from Steven Universe
Imma wait for someone to crack the nightmare and no mercy and copy them, bam profit
