- Reading: Skullgirls Panty Shot Removal
I started arguing with some anons in the Indivisible thread about this subject, ended before I could post a reply, left me feeling kinda butthurt. Seemed like enough people were weighing in on the subject that a thread would be justifiable, so fuck it. I want to see discussion on this anyway, one that isn't full of circlejerking like the steam/reddit threads on this subject undoubtedly are, and I'm open to seeing people defend the devs on this decision without (immediately) calling them faggots.
This is regarding the removal of some panty shots from a few sprites some months ago. I don't know which specific parts were removed, would be appreciated if another anon could show screenshots, but I don't think it's necessary for me to see them to speak on this subject. I don't own the game either, and I don't think that's necessary for me to speak on this subject either.
Mainly I take issue with the fact that they removed these things without the consent of their consumers, the ones who already bought the game. They directly state right there in the screenshot that they don't give a fuck about the opinion of anyone who owned the game and disliked these changes. I don't think that's fair, and I think it's important to discuss the possible ramifications of developers being able to do this whenever they please, using forced updates to remove/add content that wasn't approved by people who spent money on the product. Is it fair to change a product that someone payed for without their consent? One anon in the previous thread said that this was essentially the same as a bugfix, but I completely disagree
>They were doing it to improve the animation quality. It's a fix, not a censor.
I don't buy this. It's directly said in the post (pic related) that they removed it because it went out of its way to show panty, because it was too gratuitously sexual. That is not a matter of animation quality, they're changing things because their opinions are now more politically correct, and they find the panty shots inappropriate. Fine if they've changed their views and denounce it, but just removing these things and being so insulting towards the ones who were concerned about the changes?Fuck that. Instead of making unnecessary changes to a product people already payed for, maybe they should make a new game with politically correct character designs that scream "please don't hurt us, SJWs!" ..Oh wait.
>It's not censorship because the devs did it of their own volition.
I agree that it'd be a lot more severe if they were heavily pressured by an outside force to do this (setting aside that I think this was probably heavily influenced by trying to appear more politically correct). But still, I think this is a censor of some kind, feel free to debate the definition of the word "censor" all you want, but that doesn't refute my point that I think this is a selfish and dishonest tactic that they used with this. They simply thought it was too overtly sexual, removed things as they saw fit, then insulted the people who disliked the changes and said that they had no input. I think this still counts as a censor, one imposed on CONSUMERS of the product by the developer, a product which was already payed for and rightfully owned by these consumers.
You COULD pirate an older version of the game, but it'll still force you to update it if you want to play it on Steam, and the people who own it on steam are people who legitimately supported these guys.
Seems unfair and unnecessary to me, but the biggest thing that pisses me off is the dev response, saying that it's not open to debate.
People had the right not to download the update if they didn't want to, I don't see how this is any different than the devs putting out a balance change or otherwise updating the game normally.
In either case they're modifying the game and you have to either download the patch of stick to local MP/SP, and considering what a minor aesthetic change it is I don't see any reason personally to be bothered to ask them to revert it.
>remove a bunch of Filia's panty shots
>keep Valentine's
I'm completely okay with this
>>318525602
Aren't Steam updates forced now?
Doesn't this game literally have Zone-Tan in it? I mean, doesn't that instantly disqualify the need to remove anything questionable?
>>318525703
>Aren't Steam updates forced now?
Are they?
I dunno, maybe I used some third party hack or some shit to turn that off and forgot about it, but I still gotta approve mine.
Its the way they handled it that put me off. These retards should learn PR before they shoot themselves in the head.
There's some serious internalized misogyny occurring here. Video game characters should be free to flash their panties if they want without fear of being slut shamed for the way they dress.
>>318525789
In my experience, you can pause the updates, but it normally won't let you play unless you install the updates. Maybe it's different for different games, but I'd imagine that an online game like Skullgirls would require you to update.
>>318525304
>I don't know which specific parts were removed
I love how you autist don't even play the game and just got triggered because you heard this somewhere, and then use it as an excuse to shitpost unfoudable threads it's fucking pathetic at this point.
Honestly I had no idea. I don't really care.
>make game whose strongest appeal is lewd cartoon girls
>advertise it specifically to the kinds of people who like lewd cartoon girls
>remove lewdness in later patch
I just hope people who paid for Skullgirls will all withdraw their indivisible pledges.
They're shitting on the plates of people who helped them out of financial bankruptcy and losing their jobs.
>>318526571
>make game whose strongest appeal is lewd cartoon girls
That was never it.
The game's main selling points were always the hand-drawn animation, the art-nouveau inspired visual stylings, the fact it was being deliberately designed to introduce noobs to competitive fighters while also giving vets a robust set of mechanics to master, and the story of how the team was from the FGC itself and was joined together by their passion for it to make SG.
The lewd girls were never the main selling point.
>>318526571
Still never backed that trash
Their reasoning makes sense to me, the changes are ( according to them ) generally insignificant, and it really doesn't actually affect the game so whatever. If the entire dev team agrees that they don't like a few fucking frames of animation and they decide that they're going to change it, they're completely within their right to do so. I don't get why everyone's gettingtheir panties in a bunchover this.
>>318525304
>updating such a minor detail in a 4 year old game
go work on indivisible fags
>>318525912
Yeah, I completely agree. I honestly wouldn't have even bothered to argue about this until I saw that smug, "no arguments allowed" response the devs made.
From this debacle and everything I've seen from Mike Z's attitude, this team seems to have an extremely entitled attitude where they think that people should be throwing absurd amounts of money at them for comparatively piddling amounts of game content, but then they turn around and act like they don't owe a single thing to their consumers and that they don't have any say on the matter.
>>318526358
I just made a post in the previous thread mentioning it for like 2 sentences, as an additional reason that the devs are faggots, but then a bunch of people started arguing with me, demanding that I prove it's censorship, etc. So, I'm just opening the discussion again. And like I said, I don't have to play the game to criticize bad behavior on the part of the devs. I'm trying to vouch for people who bought the game and dislike these changes, while also giving people who are fine with the changes a chance to defend the devs and explain their perspective.
Honestly, not even that mad about the panty shot thing, I moreso generally dislike the attitude of the team, and I want to discuss the general ramifications of devs being able to "self-censor" a game that they've already released and people have already payed for.
>>318526571
They should be stoned and executed, I want blood
>>318525304
just removed my contribution of 50$ from their indie gogo.
noway am I gonna support cowards.that bow down to femnazis and sjws
>>318526571
Yeah, that's what Skullgirls was marketed on, lewd girls. Because there's only two reasons anyone plays fighting games, eye candy or gory executions.
>R-R-Remember guys! These devs surely aren't SJWs! It's just coincidence that literally 97% of the cast in Indivisible happen to be non-white women!
>>318526871
If they are insignificant why do it and then say NOT UP FOR DEBATE YAY. That's not how you talk to fans and customers. This is typical indie dev prima donna ass hattery. Regret I gave Skull girls money like a year or two ago and sure as fuck ain't backing Indivisible.
>apr 23, 2015
>>318526976
With how bitchy people can get over even minor changes these days, I can understand where they're coming from with the "not up for debate " thing. Admittedly they could have worded it a bit more diplomatically, but I guess they just wanted to make it immediately clear that they've already made the decision and wanted to stop the pointless whining before it started.
The Cerebella attack animation just looks better now, but the other two were I think Cerebella and Filia on the ground after being defeated and those are just a travesty to be lost.
>>318527319
Why should they, exactly? They rely on their community and everything but I don't see why they should fucking start arguments over every single little change to the game that they make, especially when it's something so minor and where the only people who would complain are nitpicking assholes with no actual investment in the game ( see : the discussion surrounding it ). If every single member on the team agrees that this thing should be changed, then I don't see why they should first seek the input of Johnny Smartass before they go through with it.
People wouldn't even CARE if they didn't say that one part, that's what gets me. Oversensitive idiots are immediately taking the devs saying that a decision about their game has already been made as an affront to free speech and using it as " proof " that the devs are literally the single worst people who have ever existed because they changed a thing they didn't like about their own video game.
Someone post the pre patch panty shots
What makes this rageworthy to me is that devs almost never change or remove art content post-release. They'll try to fix bugs, introduce gameplay or perfomance fixes, they may even try and make the UI more functional, but they don't touch art.
The only example I can think of is when CDPR thought some of the voicework in The Witcher was so embarassing that they had it re-recorded.
So when a dev does just that, it means that they think that there's something seriously wrong with that content. When they remove something because they think it's inappropriate, that's like saying
>That thing you liked about the game? It's disgusting, and you should be ashamed for liking it, you fucking pig!
>>318526976
Okay, please play/pirate the game, just play 10 minutes it's fun and lewd.
In my opinion you're limiting the artist freedom by labeling them as SJW whenever they try to edit anything lewd, it's really not different from SJW operandi. Anyways the fanbase of this game loves lewd, if they were to remove it we will be the first to complain so please stop being so extreme against this company by boycotting everything they make (again SJW operandi) this one of my favorite games holy shit.
>>318528021
They didn't completely redesign the characters from the ground up, they changed like 10 frames of animation. This isn't exactly unheard of, especially in stuff like fighting games.
It seems like a ridiculous amount of effort for something that inconsequential, I'm sure quite a few hours were spent redrawing that shit only to fix something nobody thought was a problem, besides those that would hate the rest of the pantyshots anyway.
I can kind of see where they're coming from with their reasoning, but it still seems like a stupid, trivial detail to spend time fixing, and thus an unnecessary and risky (especially now that people are sick of games getting less sexy for possible backlash) move.
>>318525535
the changes look a lot better though. Except for one with fillia in which i think the change looks worse.
I don't think its a censor. They left so much gratuitous sexuality in the game that censoring 3-4 instances of it because they want to censor the game is nonsensical. What is even achieved doing that?
You can think something is overly sexual while still enjoying fanservice and lewdness, man. Hell Filia's original timeout was Samson tearing her shirt off leaving her to cover her breasts. It was dropped for the same reason. Parasoul's wake-up animation was similarly changed because it was just her (practically bare) ass for several seconds.
The more recent one (for Cerecopter, since you don't seem to know what animation was even changed) still has a panty flash, it just isn't a solid couple seconds of panties.
Also bear in mind this is still the game with an Egyptian cabaret singer in a low cut dress, a catgirl with constant well-defined underboob, and a Ninja nurse in skimpy clothing with breasts literally hot enough to pop a thermometer. If they were really "becoming more PC" these would have been removed or not even exist.
Honestly it's like if the creator of Senran Kagura had a few nipples poking-out, but removed them because he thought it was a bit over the top, but left all the panties and huge tits. It's miniscule and at the actual discretion of an artist for personal reasons, not bending knee to SJWs.
Furthermore, if you want to make the claim that they shouldn't be allowed to change the game without consumer approval, you have to pretty much do the same for every single patch for every game ever.
I get the concern considering recent shit involving Nintendo or Koei-Tecmo, but this is seriously a case of picking your battles.
I will say, however, that Mike Z is always very blunt and often is pretty much a PR nightmare and Lab Zero needs to do a better job of having him shut up in these situations. It's one thing when he's arguing balance in SG updates because more often than not he was right about issues (even implementing fan suggestions to show how bad they were) but as right as he is about how the consumer shouldn't have too much power in a dev's creative process, his bluntness becomes rude and nasty. I like Mike Z but he can very much be a dick
>>318526976
>From this debacle and everything I've seen from Mike Z's attitude, this team seems to have an extremely entitled attitude where they think that people should be throwing absurd amounts of money at them for comparatively piddling amounts of game content, but then they turn around and act like they don't owe a single thing to their consumers and that they don't have any say on the matter.
holy shit the level at which you people project
>>318528192
>What is even achieved doing that?
Pissing off people who use terms like " SJW " and " Censorship " on a regular basis, clearly.
>>318528143
From my understanding the frames were already made a while ago and were just not implemented until recently.
>>318525703
a bunch = 2
>>318525789
>>318526030
you need the game to be updated to play online
Someone will mod it back.
>>318528141
Yeah, but would they have done that if they simply thought that those frames don't look that good aesthetically? Probably not.
Aside from the TW1 example I mentioned, the only instances I recall when a dev changed art content post-release were made because someone found it inappropriate.
>>318526871
Removing frames in a fighting game when everything relies on counting frames is one if the worst things you could ever do
>>318528332
nigger the last revision is 2 years ago, the edits were made 2 years ago. Fucking play the fucking game jesus christ, is the birth of new opposite SJW cancer?
The fuck is this? This is not what I paid for.
>>318528557
oh boy
you really don't understand how frames work
>>318528471
Why would anyone mod a couple of poorly drawn frames back into the game?
>>318525304
how desperate do you have to be that this is the most important aspect of the game, it still plays the same right? you still beat people up and shit?
does none of the gameplay matter at all? or is the only reason you bought the game to ogle fanservice panty shots?
i mean christ, nobody likes anita and the SJW brigade, but pick your fucking battles.
>>318525703
It's not even that many panty shots removed. Fillia and Cerebella still have a lot of frames where you can see them even after the patch.
People have just been making mountains out of molehills because everyone lately have been a bit cheesed by censorship issues.
>>318525304
Without the consent of consumers?
Doesn't your type complain when SJW's get stuff removed that it goes "against the artist's vision"?
It seems like its the opposite case here, where the artists chose to remove stuff because it was part of their vision. Now you just reverse your argument?
>>318525535
>Fine if they've changed their views and denounce it, but just removing these things and being so insulting towards the ones who were concerned about the changes?Fuck that.
why
who gives a shit
>But still, I think this is a censor of some kind
if taste is censorship i guess not liking metallica is immoral on some level?
>>318527375
That just brings me back to the issue I have with developers changing UNNECESSARY things without letting fans weigh in on it. Sure, maybe now there are a decent amount of people defending the decision, but what if they had ASKED their consumers BEFORE making the changes? What if they had said "hey, people who PAYED MONEY to play this game and are currently paying for our rent, meals, etc., would you be okay with us removing some panty shots from the game for no real reason aside from that we personally dislike them now because they're too overtly sexual?" I doubt that there would be a lot of people agreeing to that.
>>318527770
Actually, I'M Johnny Smartass. But the people who bought this game with their money and dislike the changes that the devs are making to a product that they, the consumer, rightfully own? You think those people don't deserve to be able to speak up? There are people in THIS VERY THREAD that say they payed for the game and dislike this decision on the part of the devs.
And yes, as a matter of fact, it does make me more angry that the devs add insult to injury by acting like complete dicks about the subject when people raise concern. I'd still be kinda pissed with just the panty shot thing, and I generally think Mike Z is a complete faggot, and I think their money-begging campaigns for both Skullgirls and Indivisible have gone way too far, and I'm trying to spread some awareness of their selfish, douchey behavior so that people can make a more informed decision on whether they want to support these faggots or not.
Where can I see some comparison video/gif? I haven't played in quite some time so I have no idea what's going on.
ITT: Rebels without a cause, which includes not having actually played Skullgirls.
>>318525304
ATTENTION ANONS
THIS IS A PUBLICITY STUNT AS A DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO RAISE ATTENTION TO THEIR NEW GAME, AND GET SJW SUPPORT. HIDE THREAD AND MOVE ON
>>318528531
Changes that happen because devs aren't happy with how things look aesthetically happen all the time in fighting games. Just look at Rising Thunder ( admittedly it's more common in RT because it's still in development, but still ) to see what I mean.
Also, again, if the entire dev team agrees that it's inappropriate, you can't really argue pressure there. The game has tons of lewdness, they just decided that they didn't like how these frames were super blatant compared to the rest of the game's comparative subtlety. That's still an aesthetic decision, like it or not.
>>318528648
>2 years ago
Maybe on, like, the fucking 360
>>318527953
This
>>318525304
Who cares?
No one actually cares about Skullgirls or the removed frames--which i bet the majority of people who are upset never noticed the removal of--it's just a bunch of people who probably don't play the game looking for an excuse to feel morally outraged (just like those SJW's this board hates)
>>318527770
>something so minor
If it's minor, don't change it. They should care what their players think because they are your patrons. If you run a hotel, and customer(s) says "hey why did you change this and that" "We talked among ourselves and agreed it was insignificant but we changed it and it's not up for debate :)." You really think you aren't gonna tick people off by marginalizing a change they don't agree with? Feel free to but don't act surprised when they think bad of you for END OF RINE attitudes to people's concerns.
>>318528659
How does it not effect timing? Fighting games are based directly on timing of animated frames
>>318529054
this
>>318528985
lol, it really is fucking nothing.
>wasting time and money on censoring panty shots
Maybe you should have thought about it when you first made the game.
>>318529078
because they didnt remove frames dumbass, they replaced them with panty-shotless frames
It's one thing to not give a shit about what a community says about their games, but it's the fact that they pander to whiney feminazis is what makes me not want to touch skullgirls ever again.
Fuck them. I wont buy any other games from them if thats the case.
>>318528985
I like the old one better. Doesn't even seem as forced as the image in the OP seems to imply either.
>>318525535
>they're censoring the game!!!
>devs state they're leaving 90% of the other panties alone
Hmm...
>>318528985
Lol seems pretty weird they would change something so inconsequential. And it seems pretty weird that people would get so buthurt about it. In that one instance you showed I think new one looks better but it's like one frame so I can't really see the reason to be so mad.
>>318529175
hoo is fluid driud
>>318527953
>>318529039
Here ya go.
I don't know why you guys are complaining.
Filia still makes an ahegao face when she gets hit, and Valentine is still slutting it up the whole time.
But two panty shots getting removed bother you?

>don't give a fuck about t&a
>mfw all this mad
>>318525304
>Mainly I take issue with the fact that they removed these things without the consent of their consumers
Oh horse shit. It's called a fucking patch, and everyone and their mother does it. It feels like I see a thread about a new WoW player character model roughly every week. You're just butthurt because this one lines up with the big bad SJW bogeyman.
>>318528985

>>318529314
thanks
>>318525304
I don't get it.
With ALL the faults in gameplay that Skull Girls still has, why focus time, money, and attention on swapping roughly 9 total frames of animation to hide the characer's undergarments...in a game whose entire premise and sell point is cute/sexy/weird young women looking and acting cute/sexy while they beat the shit out of each other in a Japanese Animation-themed fighting game?
>>318529175
>pander to whiny feminazis
Sauce?
>>318528773
Difference being that SJWs don't buy games, they just complain about them.
>>318528332
OK, that's different. If it's something they planned since before the release or near at and it was an internal decision, I can't really blame them. Then again, I didn't buy the game. If Firaxis suddenly decided to make Theodora less slutty in Civ V, I'd be mad.
the damn skirt looked weird as fuck
I'm glad they improved the animation, couldn't care less about one less pantyshot out of cerebellas 200 other ones
>>318525535
>It's not censorship because the devs did it of their own volition.
That's called auto-censorship you faggot. It's still censorship.
>>318529175
>FaceDownAssUpUniversity
Literally nothing wrong with this.
Slowgirls is still a piece of shit fighting game, though.
>>318529446
I dont know her name but i know its not a girl. Plus theres somewhat of a source at the bottom.
>>318527319
It's worse than that, it's not just people that merely own the game that they are pissing off.
Many of these people they are shutting out ACTIVELY helped the game to be actually made by helping to crowdfund it
>>318529078
the amount of frames in an animation is not the same as the counted frames that make up the 60 in a second of gameplay
You can have an animation consist of 100 animated frames but have it start up in 5, last for 5 and recover for 5, just as an example. This is the reason why in stuff like killing floor 2 the reloading animations have a million frames, yet it doesn't take any longer to reload than less detailed animations in other games.
I doubt i'm explaining it right since i'm not an animator or programmer but If you go into training room and look at the moves frame data its identical to how it was before the change.
Besides, they just replaced the frames instead of cutting them
>>318529647
>not a girl
it's always you types who bitch and moan about this.
>>318529354
A patch is when you fix something that is broken and/or does not work properly.
An Update is when you want to make a change, make an addition to game play, or remove something that is no longer supported.
I'm not certain what to call something that actively removes/alters something that wasn't broken to begin with and was only objectionable to those who were not the consumers.
The worst thing about this thread is that there are bound to be some retarded anons who don't do their own research and get caught up in the bullshit that the OP is spewing, who most likely will go on to harass the L0 devs with their boundless stupidity.
>>318529314
That Filia panty shot is glorious tho, and I wouldn't say that it's too deliberate compared to the rest of the game.
>>318529314
top and middle ones seem reasonable enough
bottom one looks weird now because the skirt is so short but the legs just mysteriously keep going
>>318529585
but its not even censorship, they redrew a couple of frames and left hundreds of other panty shots in the game.
you are literally making a mountain out of a small pile of grains on the side of a molehill.
>>318529494
Exactly. It's not the first time they've dine this in the game, and it's for a more incidental and not gratuitous feel, it's not to cater to SJWs. This is an actual case of aesthetic choice and not just a smokescreen.
>>318529647
since when did they make traps so fine
>>318528868
The notion of wanting to raise awareness of shitty business practices and shoddy devs is admirable, but if out of all the awful people out there right now you're seriously raising shit over a change being made that the game's actual fanbase ( as in people who play the game regularly, talk on the forums regularly and support it, not the dicks who got the game on a sale a year ago and played for two hours, and then claim that their opinion on the fighting game is valid ) is more than okay with, then you're just being an alarmist douchebag.
This is a genuine non-issue, and the only reason there's any amount of fuss being made over it is because of the recent shitstorms about supposed censorship and how a lot of video games are straying away from oversexualizing female characters. You don't have to like the devs ( god knows they don't make much of an effort to appease everyone ), but you're blatantly wrong if you're saying they're not good at what they do and good to their community. Go find a dev that's actually a shit, there's more than enough of them out there.
>>318529728
>Many of these people they are shutting out ACTIVELY
Who are they shutting out?

>>318525304
Kill yourself
>>318529314
Welp. Still pretty inconsequential imho. And artistically the only change you can really be against is the filia since I think the first one is actually more anatomically correct. But again, incosequential.
>>318529564
>the damn skirt looked weird as fuck
Seems like it should be obvious that is why it changed. Especially when think about it after looking at >>318528985
It just doesn't make sense for the skirt to look that way.
>>318529283
It's almost like /v/ jumps off the fucking rails at anything "censorship" related without observing context or scale of changes. This place has had this pathetic mentality ever since TORtanic and their desire to have LE NEXT EPIC CRASH for games.

Holy shit, too many people calling me a "reverse SJW" to even bother quoting them all. Think you're bringing some real original arguments to the table, huh? Maybe you retards haven't seen the multiple times in this thread that I've reiterated that I think CONSUMERS who have ALREADY PAYED for a game that's finished, should not have content REMOVED from the game THEY ALREADY PAYED FOR over unnecessary bullshit like this. It's just a false equivalence to say that's the same as SJWs demanding devs remove things based on their sensibilities. Here I'm arguing that they pulled a switcheroo on consumers and are forcefully editing a product the consumer rightfully owns, when the game already existed and was payed for in a previous form. How fucking hard is that for you to wrap your minds around? And somehow me just spreading awareness of it, giving my two cents, and even saying that I'm open to seeing defense of the devs, is somehow me trying to censor them? SJWs do far worse than that. You're seriously grasping at straws THAT hard to act like I'm being a reverse-SJW here?
>>318529585
I know, I was quoting the hypothetical faggots who would (and did) make that argument.

>because it went out of its way to show panty, because it was too gratuitously sexual. That is not a matter of animation quality
yes it is, the animation didn't make sense in order to show panty for no other reason than to show panty
that is an inferior panty shot that dilutes the value of true panty shots
according to manyuu hikenchou (although in reference to nipple instead of pantsu, I believe the principle still applies) "deliberately revealing them is infinitely inferior to a true nip slip"

You don't really need a source when all the evidence in this thread points directly at feminazis.
>>318528985
The real question is: are they going to censor more of it?
>>318529206
It looks worse in motion if someone has a gif of the old cerecopter animation
I prefer the new one because the dress shows off the curve of her ass and you still see a little peek of pantsu from between her thighs.
>Lab 8 censoring their own work
*heavy sigh* I guess I'll just pull the 200 I pledged to Indivisible. I'm really disappointed in them, I thought for sure they were safe from SJW menace.
It's like this. If it were never in the game it wouldn't matter. No one would say anything about the lack of panty shots, it would just be a game. Arcana Heart goes out of its way to PREVENT panty shots and no one cares.
But it was in the game. It was a part of the design. We saw it. By taking it away it's like they're saying that the players aren't mature enough to handle panties. It doesn't matter if it was a decision made internally, even Mike Z said in regards to balancing and gameplay design that at some point of the game being out there and played for long enough, it's not just YOUR game anymore, the players have a part of it as well. They made a decision on behalf of the players without consulting the players. Okay I guess, if it makes you feel better and gives you the warm and fuzzies to help you sleep at night knowing your game tries to hide its underwear better, but at the end of the day you caused a controversy where there didn't need to be one.
>>318530280
No because the other frames are fine and make sense within their animations.
>>318529908
I'm pretty much with you on this. Didn't even know these little edits happened until yesterday while browsing /v/. I was too busy looking through the patch notes for balance changes/adjustments back then. Seems like this is only coming up now because some of /v/ is really hung up on crying censorship or just hating Indivisble/Crowdfunded anything.
>>318530086
noone in the actual community is complaining. It's just us on /v/ getting triggered by something we think is sjw influence
>>318530137
They replaced other frames for THE SAME reason (see: Parasoul's wake-up animation) and nobody put up a stink.
This is pretty much purely the result of SJW paranoia and fear of legitimate cases of censorship causing people to freak out about things like this despite knowing nothing about the context.

>>318530280
According to them, no. They actually had these changes planned since before Skullgirls' initial release and they haven't really found anything else that really bugs them as much as those few instances.
Not to mention they're going to be pretty busy over the next couple years, they probably wouldn't have time to work on Skullgirls even if they wanted to.
>>318530149
A few frames getting redrawn isn't content being removed, you fucking mongoloid, it's content being changed. Every single frame that has been removed has been replaced with a different, generally better one. The only way your supposed argument even starts to make sense is that you're saying that the total panty shot count going down from 200 to 197 is somehow the consumer getting fucked over, which is quite possibly the stupidest thing I've heard on /v/ in the last few months. Do you actually just not know anything about the game you're talking about, or is this a very stupidalbeit successfultroll?
>>318529314
>Skirts suddenly longer and no longer adhering to physics
What a disgusting change
>>318530376
Yeah but the whole point of skullgirls is to be lewd while having fun kicking ass.
Might as well make all the girls in the game wear ugly long huge dresses along with hijabs.
Because afterall, that's all what feminazis are doing, they're trying to bring the muslim tradition of censoring women.
>>318529314

>>318525304
This is a much more grey line than NoA censoring stuff they didn't make
I agree that it's annoying tyat they altered the product in this way AFTER purchase, and that makes me wonder if future game could have larger bits edited out or some such. In addition, yes, it's clear that saying they're not doing it for decency reasons is a lie
That said, this is ACTUALLY and unlike other situations where shitposters claim it is a developer directly making the choice about how their game is presented, so I can't get too worked up about it
But yeah, it would have been better if these changes were made before release.
>>318525304
>Is it fair to change a product that someone payed for without their consent?
I think the specific issue you're complaining about is trivial but the general issue you're pointing out is important.
I remember that one of the reasons I bought a PS3 was to dick around with Linux on it, but Sony removed that functionality with an update.
Given all the insane EULAs you have to agree to do absolutely anything at all these days they probably have every legal right to do whatever the fuck they want.
But is it ethical? Not really

You are a group of people who don't play the game you're complaining about, requesting that the developers make changes that they don't want to make so they can appeal to you, a person who doesn't play the game. What does that sound like to you?
>>318529870
>The notion of wanting to raise awareness of shitty business practices and shoddy devs is admirable, but if out of all the awful people out there right now you're seriously raising shit over a change being made that the game's actual fanbase ( as in people who play the game regularly, talk on the forums regularly and support it, not the dicks who got the game on a sale a year ago and played for two hours, and then claim that their opinion on the fighting game is valid ) is more than okay with, then you're just being an alarmist douchebag.

>>318527098
have made these contributions if they're the "fake fans" you claim them to be? Fuck all of you retards who keep trying to pretend like it's only some tiny, tiny minority of people who bought the game that didn't want these changes. >>318530518 Yeah, there's a lot of controversy on this topic.
But you dumbasses go ahead and keep going "b-but it's just an insignificant change to a few frames!!!! NOBODY CARES!!! S-STOP CARING!!!!!!!!!"

That's because the people that have a problem with the censorship and bring up the topic get the banhammer.
My friends and I have played SG since its Steam release. It eventually became our goto game for when we just wanted to chill in lobbies after work.
We stopped after the censorship. None of us were comfortable with cultural Marxism creeping into our free time.

>>318529314
I can understand the first ones, but it's a damn shame about the Filia & Cerebella ones. They immediately made me think of censored version of Jap games.
You can immediately tell that there was something sexy going on there originally.

the angle of attack has changed slightly in the animation, look closely.
i don't think this has anything to do with panties. they're just cleaning up animation.
>>318530376
>literally one frame out of over 50 observable panty shot frames changed because the artists agreed that it looked a little goofy
>acting like they removed a character or changed the gameplay
>muh censorship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are animations with these characters literally sitting spread legged where you can see their pelvic bones and panties. They changed a S I N G L E frame because it looked goofy. You're literally as bad as the "feminazis" when you blow up over absurdly insignificant shit like this.
I don't know what to find most weird.
People complaining about censorship, or the fact that the developers change such a trivial thing in a old dead game.
The main thing wrong with Cerebella's Cerecopter is that the change makes the skirt inconsistent. Bella's skirt is short and loose, cuz you know, acrobat and such. We know this cuz in her super, Bella's skirt actually flips down in a loose manner. That said, it stands to reason that many of her attacks flip her skirt up and about, even Cerecopter. The change makes her skirt act like Parasoul's, which is much tighter around the butt and thighs. If she were to perform Bella's LV 3 super her skirt would most likely slide down her figure, rather than flipping like Bella's does.
I'm all for making stuff look better, but that frame in particular looks worse. It's whatever though.
>>318530647
Exactly, it's silly that the developers lost their shit over something so insignificant and took the time to change it.
>>318530775
>people in thread say they have removed their backing from indivisble campaign
>money in campaign has gone up since I last looked yesterday
>>318530663
At what point do you look at a change like that and say, "The game has already been out for over a year and changing these animations would cost X amount of dollars, who gives a shit?"
It's business decisions like this that explain why Lab Zero is constantly in financial trouble. Sure, let's spend who knows how much money to fix frames that affect nothing because we're bothered by seeing upper thigh. That's a great idea.
>>318525304
You see, saying "our standards have gone up" is one of those things that just makes you sound like a smug cunt.

You should watch the full animation. Originally the shirt flew way up for one frame just so that panty shot could exist. It looks okay in the context of a still image, but in the animation it looked janky.

And? They released the product, took the money, and clearly didn't make it widely known that they were making these changes until the controversy blew up over it. They easily could've damage controlled here, but they didn't, they just changed things as they saw fit and acted insulting towards people who bought their product and disagreed with how they changed it after the purchase.
>>318530472
>when artists mutually agree
I have these european comics published by cinebook that use this logic to justify why they (cinebook) drew clothes on naked people, usually on the first page of the book. It doesn't mean anything when artists seem to pretty much agree to everything the guy giving him money decides.
>>318530593
Well then there's literally no issue here.
Also, it's a real good marketing ploy for them especially since they have that indivisible kickstarter running.
I still think Indivisible is going to be shit due to it trying to emulate VP's horrible combat system.
they wanted to clean up early animations that were subpar.
Honestly itd be impossible to change animations in this game and not affect panty shots seeing as they're in every other frame
>>318525304
Seems like a lot of effort to remove something so trivial.
Can't rhey just shrug their shoulders and say what's done is done and keep it in mind not to do it again in the future?

Because if we're being for real? This is a L0 dumping thread. It might as well be an Indivisble thread camouflaged as a "MUH CENSORSHIP"

>comparing L I T E R A L L Y changing a single frame out of 20,000 in an ANIMATION to covering the entirety of a naked body
How is this making them more money you monkey? They didn't blow it out on Twitter, they didn't say they're "toning down the game" to not be "creepy" they just said the artists didn't like certain frames and then changed them.
>>318530890
And I sense that you can't accept someone having a different opinion from you and automatically blame it on shilling in an attempt to dismiss instead of addressing the allegations or even agreeing to disagree. I also sense such an ingrained and yet unfocused sense of fear and hatred for SJWs that anything that can be related to them despite Olympian mental gymnastics and flagrant disregard of Occam's razor is hit with a shotgun blast of impotent rage, stale memes, and burying your head in the fucking sand.

wish i had the screenshot I usually post on me but I'm at work.
Would anyone here be complaining if they changed some shots to show -more- panty?
If they did that and some twitter warrior threw a fit, everyone here would be spazzing out trying to defend the devs with "It's their game so it's their choice!"
This has nothing to do with censorship or artistic integrity, it's just more political bullshit in this neverending "war" of ideologies. The entire "issue" is someone expressing a viewpoint that could in any conceivable way be interpreted as liberal or feminist.

I noticed this too, but I think the original unedited sprites were picked up from some kind of asset viewer. Think it is very likely they would have similar shading as to what is on the right in game.
There really isn't anything you can do aside from saying you're unhappy about the way the company has gone about things and you're no longer going to support them. It's not really censorship, but it is a really shitty thing to do regardless.
Don't support bad localizations, don't support political correctness, don't support shitty devs.

The change was so minor that I believe this was just an attempt to drum up controversy, so they'd be in the spotlight again. After all their new game Indivisible™ is being crowdfunded and their player base was dwindling.

>>318526814
>The lewd girls were never the main selling point.
For you.
You just listed a bunch of stuff many people don't care as much about (the story behind development, or making it more accessible). A lot things were selling points, including the sometimes sexualized character designs and kinky animations, just look at a lot of fanart for example, or videos of that jap guy that are 20min-long panty shot treasure hunts for each character that get tens of thousands of views. Even I was commissioned to do a 34 of this game pre-launch.
I don't see how you deny it's a selling point when many autists complain about the lack of r34 potential in indivisible compared to skullgirls.
It was a selling point just as any other.
>>318531215
Well they might have been just cleaning up animations. I mean the best thing about the game are its visuals so mby they just wanted to keep them great since fixing gameplay would require much more work.
>>318530626
More like
>Skirts don't suddenly get shorter and adhere to DOA physics during the animation
>>318531215
They did say what's done is done, though. They're not doing the second thing because they don't think they did anything wrong (and they didn't). They change animations often, this particular change is just garnering a lot of attention because the ant-SJW force caught whiff of it.

You are going to dismiss the entirety of the game that is Skullgirls. Over what? Five frames of panties? What point does this fucking prove? You saw the panties for a split second. IN A FIGHTING GAME.
>>318531375
Yeah, I think that's most likely the case. I guess they have some kind of "dynamic" lighting on their sprites in-game. It doesn't look that great in my opinion, but whatever.

I'm saying that if you actually gave a shit about Skullgirls you would have said something in mid-2014 when it was relevant, instead of pretending you suddenly give a shit in the tail end of 2015 after reading about it online
A lot of the people complaining think Skullgirls is just some le epic sexy porn game, and that the frame alterations are taking away from its only redeeming quality (because they don't play the game so they can only judge on what they see on /v/)

Zero infinites.
Also sorry your concept of an accessible game is that in which the meta is so shallow a scrub can compete against a practiced player.
Combos are easy, inputs are very easy and it has a good tutorial. That's what it means to be accessible. It shouldn't sacrifice the depth of its meta for people like you.

I honestly never realized this was a point of such huge controversy until I made a post in an Indivisible thread passingly mentioning it and it started a sizeable argument, so I wanted to keep the fun going. Maybe that partially counts as a troll, since I did intend to kick up SOME controversy, but I do seriously disapprove of this shit. Mainly the smug, assholish attitude of the devs.
>>318531372
Debunked what? I've just seen tons of people saying that it was entirely for animation quality, which the screenshot in the original post disproves because they mention close to nothing about animation/art quality, but a lot about how the panty shots were too overtly sexual. And then a lot of arguing about whether the changes to "only (tiny percentage) of the frames" are significant or not.

>>318531892
>>318532049
Except for two years or so after release there were plenty of touch of death combos, which alienated any beginners who were interested in the game.
>>318531664
No, but here's a FUCK YOU.
It's THEIR game. THEY spent years creating it. They are staying true to their ORIGINAL VISION.
If YOU don't like it...sounds like a personal problem, bub. Why don't you make your own game, then?

Skullgirls is a video game. This is discussing an aspect of a video game.
>not moaning about goobergate SJW political correctness garbage
You can label it whatever you want, there's nothing wrong with complaining about content you want or like removed from a game.
Its the same as removing any kind of feature you might have appreciated in a game, from a level or character you really liked to online lobbies for multiplayer
>BUT ITS MINOR IT DOESNT AFFECT THE G-
How much it affects anyone is dependent on that person. Its not a big deal to you, but it might be a big deal to someone else.
Personally I think the skullgirls issue is trivial but I was kinda bummed (heh) about Capcom removing R Mika's butt slap. Nothing to the point of throwing a hissy fit, but if people found that to be super important and they want to bitch about it, why the fuck do you care?
>>318531917
The art direction (not even the lewdness) was a massive reason that I bought the game
The fact that they make the animation look worse because a pantyshot when there are already tons of pantyshots make me nothing but confused
There's plenty fanservice in the game, still.
And even so, this is a fighting game with busty girls. You're getting good fanservice (Ultimate Showstopper, or some scenes involving Double, for example) if you bought it for that. If you bought it for the fighting system too, I believe you're too busy with your opponent to notice a lack of pantyshots when comboing a Cerecopter.
They absolutely suck at PR and deserve a reality check-up with Indivisible failing the KS. But that ain't happening
>>318532005
>I just saw the screenshot and I think it's weird to change something so minimal when there's still panty shots in the game

Tolerating it is what got us to this point where developers are self censoring themselves.
His policy isn't unreasonable. Especially when you consider that there are thousands of other games to play that don't contain censorship and aren't made by developers that antagonistically disregard their customer's opinions.
>>318532271
You could post a 2014 video to prove that.
>>318532305
How do people know Mika's buttslap was removed, no one has any final build of the game yet.
>>318532357
Yeah no, let's punish game devs for having bad PR. I'll just pretend people don't play Binding of Issac despite the dev being a fucking asshole.
How bout you separate the artist from the work for just a fucking minute, man?
Please, please relax your titties guys
I'm with you in NoA, but arguing about a handful of fucking frames removed by the devs themselves is just about the absolute limit of what you could pretend to call censorship and I can sew this being brought up in every argument about actual problems with censorship from here on out
I dunno about you guys, but I'm not in the argument for the anime tiddies, as much as I do like them, I'm in it to protect artistic vision, no matter what that vision is.
Can we just drop this? It's effectively nothing in a game that's still drowning in lewd. Focus your efforts on better things. Have you written Nintendo those letters yet?
>>318531852
Yeah he's ignorant in what infinites are, but there are quite a few 80-100% combos that are MASSIVE barriers of entry for anyone that wants to try and learn how to play

>>318532280
What the fuck are you talking about? The guy said these frames were changed because the panty shot was too obvious, yet the rest of the game is still filled with similar panty shots.
The new animations look better. Cerebella is still cute.
>>318532443
The KO'd frames are 100% censorship. The devs flat out said this.
>>318532516
These animations have been in the game for three years with zero complaints about them, they were changed during a quality sweep of previous animations. They aren't under the thumb of a gigantic publisher.
Shouldn't you be making the daily "Bravely Second censored!" or "DOAX3 isn't coming to the West waah" threads?

Generally, " attempting to incite flamewar " is an offense you get a warning for, if not a brief ban. I talk from personal experience ( I didn't mean to, mods, I sware ). Also,
>Mainly the smug, assholish attitude of the devs.
Can you actually tell me where you got that impression? Mike Z is definitely blunt, but he generally knows what he's talking about, and I find him likeable for the most part. The rest of the devs aren't really as in the spotlight as mike, but I've never seen them be particularly sassy either. If you're referring to the specific handling of that post, I interpreted it as " It's already been agreed that we're gonna do it, so there's not much point in arguing about it " before I saw that there was apparently a shitstorm over it.
>>318531719
Except nowhere did I say that sexual content was not allowed, or that it shouldn't be allowed, guy. I simply said that you're so scared of SJWs that rather than rationally fight the kind of censorship and moral authority they want to push, you go on witch hunts and often end up attacking people who not only aren't even related to the SJW nonsense, but actively oppose it.
You are doing EVERYBODY a disservice by crying wolf like this. People like you are going to turn claims of SJW fuckery into "oh this person is crazy and I should ignore him."
Is there a large clique of moral authoritarians that seek power through censorship disguising it all as social justice? Definitely, we've seen that with Nintendo and Koei-Tecmo, and we've seen people allying with them both in dev and outside it. Does every single thing even related to women or minorities or sexual content trace back to them? No.
Just because there is a conspiracy, it doesn't mean that everything is a part of it. That's how shit like the Spanish Inquisition or McCarthyism happens, man.
It's okay to be mad, and it's okay to want to do something about it, but don't let the former cloud your judgment when it comes to the latter.
>>318525304
>I take issue with the fact that they removed these things without the consent of their consumers

>>318532271
but no infinites
>>318532709
To be fair, he's technically correct that those panty shots in particular are more obvious than any others in the game.
The frames that show Filia and Cerebella lying down with their ass facing the camera are their death frames, which stay onscreen forever after they get KO'd.
>>318532709
>YOU:boo hoo there are other panty shots in the game, why did you remove these ones
>DEV: Because they didn't fit with our artistic vision, and the other ones do, IN OUR EYES.
>YOU: boo hoo that's not good enough i am entitled to all of MUH panty shots
They're the fucking devs. You can disagree all you want, but it's their fucking game. How much of an autistic manchild do you have to be, to get upset about an author tweaking their own creation?
>>318532753
You'll notice that the pro-censorship apologists in this thread are doing their best to ignore those.
Game was censored. Only the worst Koolaid drinkers would try to argue otherwise.
>>318529314
See, I can kinda understand the top change. The skirt looks kinda weird in the original.
The two lying frames don't make any sense though, it looks worse than the original and it isn't even that gratuitous of a panty shot.
In fact it's so minor it makes me wonder why they would change it at all if the new version looks worse. Makes me wonder if maybe they always intended to redraw those frames but redrew them sans panties because their sensibilities have changed. I can kinda see where that outrage is coming from on that angle, why would they make such a minor change just to make it look slightly worse? At what benefit? For what reason? It's the perceived principle of the matter and the feared consequences it might have for future, perhaps more drastic changes. Say they decide to tweak more frames and they just happen to have fewer panty shots among them since maybe they now believe too many panty shots are bad. That forced backdown of fan pandering would be taken as an insult to the audience they directly pandered to, and the current climate of the vidya community is all the more sensitive and fearful of these sorts of threats to their ideals, perceived or actual.
I'm just saying I can kinda see why some people would feel upset, justified or not. I don't play Skullgirls so I don't care.
Another developer down the shitter. Fuck this . While you are filing for bankruptcy, remember that pissing off your customers was a really fucking bad business move.
>>318532074
I'm pretty sure the air current generated by a fan can do something to a miniskirt. Or do you think the air only blows one way? There's a slight current blowing backwards, specially when the blades of the fan are as dull as an arm.
>>318525304
This was in April 23.
Literally no one cared or noticed until the Indiegogo happened.
Anyone who still goes on about "muh panties", "muh violation as a consumer" can go fuck himself because they never cared about it from the start.
>>318532894
There weren't any infinites, but touch of death combos may as well be infinites and look like infinites to beginners since the majority of them involved looping the same moves over and over except with a different attack to start a chain.
>>318532579
No one knows, its just an assumption based on the later builds. It could just be the devs playing around with camera angles
But since they seemed to remove another 'lewd' shot from Cammy's intro people are thinking it might have been intentional. Either way, I don't see why you'd demonize anyone who liked that and isn't happy about it potentially being removed.
>>318532242
The way post describes it ( or at least the way I understood is ) is that they changed it because it was entirely blatant and pointless. They don't shy away from showing panty, but they felt that where for most seeing them in action shots or angles is reasonable, in these specific animations it was just gratuitous and no reason for it to be like that. They're clearly not opposed to the idea of you seeing some butts ( seriously, just look at the damn game ), but they felt like this wasn't in line with the rest of them because it's just panties for the sake of panties. They themselves say it's not a big deal, they just collectively agreed that they didn't like it so they're changing it.
>>318531852
This is why fighting games are a flawed genre to begin with, nothing you can do will ever get you to competitive level and top it off with the autismal community constantly rubbing salt all over the wounds.
>>318533071
Actually, it was earlier than April 23. The frame alterations happened the year prior.

>>318533015
the fan is off by the time she leans forward

Hello neogaf.
>>318525304
Because when I have to borderline beg for a game to get localized and brought over, a game from a franchise I love, and I have to literally sit there and whine like a fucking child to be able to have it translated in to English, I get a little fucking asspained when it gets changed.
No, I don't care why it gets changed. Why? Because I didn't ask for your fucking input on what would make this game "Better."
I do not care what your reasoning is. I do not care why you think I should care. I do not care why you think you're doing the right thing.
What I *DO* care about, is the fact that you stuck your grubby little shit fingers in to my fucking game, and changed it to suit your own purposes and your own agenda, for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
You took a product people had to plead to get, and then took a knife to it.
"Oh, that's problematic." Snip.
"Hmm, they might not want that." Snip.
"Ahh, I don't like this bit." Snip.
"Oooh, wouldn't want my six year old to see this bit, here. Let me just." Snip.
The game I asked for, the game I said I'd pay money for, the game I expected, is not the game you brought over. I wanted the game somebody else in the world is playing, right fucking now, but with English text.
If you can't do such a simple little thing, don't even fucking bother trying to give me my game. Why? Because if you can't be bothered to give me the game I politely asked for, numerous times, I can't be fucked to give you my money for it. Why? Because it's not what I fucking asked for.
If I ask you for a hotdog with mayonnaise, relish, ketchup and mustard, and you give me a hotdog with just relish because "Well, I don't really like those other condiments," do you still expect me to pay for it?
If I pay you for renovations on my house, and you go against what I asked for, do you get paid?
No.
No, you do not.
Fuck off, NoA.
Yes, I mad.
Yes, I am not buying this trite shit.
No, I am not supporting pointless censorship to appeal for "more games."

Sounds like somebody is impotent, can't actually do anything on their own, and is trying to get people who are actually CAPABLE to hurt someone (say, a development team).
Keep crying, baby.
You are fighting against artistic expression in its purest form - when the artist's choices differ from the audience's expectations.
Go fucking masturbate and come back before you discuss this issue again. Stop thinking with your dick, and start thinking about what art means.
>>318533351

Skullgirls is shit anyway, who cares about panty shots in a shit game?
>>318532959
Seriously? This is minor as fuck. "Only the worst kool aid drinkers"? If this isn't an attempt to divide I don't know what fucking is. This isn't something like changing blood to green goo or removing game features, this is an insanely minor change in a game where you're always one button press away from panties.
Even if you think this is unacceptable to try an pretend that only the most hardcore wouldn't see this as an issue is some shitty diversionary tactic
>>318533161
Then they still can go fuck themselves. No one played the fucking game anyway. All I see here are a bunch of faggots who actually got "triggered" because of it. They're as bad as the imaginary SJW they're scared of.

>Generally, " attempting to incite flamewar " is an offense you get a warning for, if not a brief ban
I mean, I'm not going to play dumb and act like I thought this subject was going to be completely lacking in controversy, but that's far from attempting to start a "flame war". I genuinely wanted people to make big posts and have actual discussion from both sides, I genuinely wanted to see people explaining their views on why the devs were right to do what they did, and that was a success.
>Can you actually tell me where you got that impression?
Alright, mainly it's that screenshot in the OP where they immediately say that there's no debate allowed on the subject. And I generally dislike Mike Z's attitude. What you call blunt, I just call being an annoying faggot. From a clip from a stream I watched where he was explaining why they need like 3.5 million to make Indivisible, it really irked me the way he was acting extremely impatient with people who raised concerns about the amount they're asking, the amount they already have done on the game, etc. He just generally did that "UGGH I THOUGHT WE ALREADY WENT OVER THIS BEFORE *frustrated sigh*", then proceeds to bullshit some numbers together off the top of his head for why they need all this money. That's probably how they came up with needing 250k+ for each new character in Skullgirls.
>>318533450
It ain't ovah till it's ovah.
>>318529494
There is no difference. The artist's vision is not to have gratuitous panty shots. They removed them.
>this is not up for debate
Then he shouldn't have posted paragraphs about it. He should have just removed it, and when asked said he didn't like the animations and it's his game deal with it, then never spoken on the subject again.

We're discussing physics in a videogame, so we're going to go two ways. The damage dealt is little, in spite of the showy attack. This means it does not have as much power as it appears, since it cannot generate enough updraft to life a miniskirt. This goes their way.
Or, it actually fucking hurts. Consider the torque on that shit, it ain't stopping in spite of having a thing on its way, and severely pounding that ass, or ARMOR, holy shit! It still keeps rotating while giving a beating to Big Band's armor! That qualifies for enough fucking force to generate updraft on the entire fucking scenario. This goes my way.

Maybe you should have thought about that before purchasing a license to software.
As such, your analogy is garbage as well because none of your property was involved. So again, quit your whining, and if you need panty shots that badly, go to fucking paheal.
This is why I refuse to support their latest kickstart.
They really should of talked to the fans first instead of secretly doing it behind everyone's backs. It's just dishonest.

Do they have a right to change their work to be more in line with their newfound PC? Sure.
Should they be so dismissive of what their consumers, patrons even, might have to say about it? Absolutely not. They're spitting on the people that fucking helped them out by telling them they can shove their opinion where the light doesn't shine. If you wanna change your work that you ALREADY SOLD to people, then you gotta give them the choice to not apply the change. Future clients would know what they're getting into and would be unable to complain, but not the ones that already said "oh, that's a nice work, i'll pay you to get a copy."

If you didn't, what's there to complain about? Unless you're in Training Mode on 1/2 or less slow motion you don't see most of these panty shots for even half a second. They only changed like 2-3 frames.
>If it's so miniscule, why change it?
If it's so small why even complain about it? You have to be autistic to refund Skullgirls or bitch about the situation because you lost 1.5 seconds of viewable panties.

I'm pretty sure there actually were quite a few times on streams where the animators were watching the game and said stuff like "oh, there's that stupid cerebella animation we need to fix, her skirt just flips all over the place for no reason"
>>318534150
I am showing you how stupid your reasoning is. "They're the creators so they can do whatever they want" would also justify them breaking the game or removing content from the game, essentially scamming everyone who had bought it.

Witch & the Hundred Knight
It's been two years and they never fixed the random crashing bug, instead they decided to port it to PS4
Even not counting nippons, lots of minor games don't get any post-release support. I don't think Alice Madness Returns got any (DLC was day one and designed before release), mainly because I read the devs can't even submit bug fixes because EA.

Have you EVER worked on a large scale creative production before?
The masses said they wanted a sexy fighting game.
You don't get to pick and choose every aspect of development. You don't get a VOTE. This is the product they wanted to make and push out.
If you don't like it, don't buy software :^) and start creating your own shit, instead of crying your fucking pussy eyes out over a small tweak in the game.
Get your shit together.
>play skullgirls very regularly
>never notice panty changes until /v/ starts complaining
>still almost completely unnoticable
There is still plenty of fanservice in the game and the ones that were changed are almost unnoticeable unless you're actively looking for them. The only one that I could argue was really noticeable was the cerecopter pantyshot but it looked silly anyway to see her skirt suddenly fly up for no reason.
Just my 2 cents.

>>318533575
Calling on impotence? While discussing a game heavily driven by its sexual implications and supporting changes that take away from it? Holy shit, get some arguments, first.
As an artist, I don't give a fuck what you do. What you think. It came out of your head, you do whatever you like.
When you SAY something, specially towards your supporters, you need to be fucking careful. VERY fucking careful. Or take a risk, displease your initial supporters and gamble on a bigger fish with what you're saying.
Also, those ad hominems are delicious. Use them when you know who you're talking with, dipshit.
>>318534359
I remember before the game even came out they said that they didn't want any pantyshots where the skirt just flips up out of nowhere.
and I always thought Cerecopter really went against that standard but after the change it made sense
>>318534264
It was in fact a logical fallacy. It was a classic strawman fallacy. You created your own misrepresentation of my argument in your post and then tried to attack it.

>>318534264
well is not like people play SCHOOL GIRLS for the FIGHTING MECHANICS
>>318533727
Right. I can understand what you mean, because if you don't do game dev you don't really know how much things cost ( And I'm sorry for sounding like a condescending dick there, but it's sort of impossible to talk about this without it ). But MikeZ and co have spent years in the industry, and they know exactly how much they need to make a video game. I was listening to thesuperbestfriendcastwhere Mike was a guest, and he explained exactly why they're asking for how much they're asking. I'm not gonna give you exact numbers because I don't remember them, but the point of is was that they have X people on the team. Each person's wage is Y a month. They're all going to work for Z amount of time on the game, which when you add it all up landed on around 1.490.000 USD or so. The amount they're asking for is the amount it takes for that team to make the video game that they want to make. The problem there is with kickstarter and stuff, a lot of indie devs tend to ask for a lot less, but you have to consider stuff like team sizes, where the devs live, the scale of the project, how long it's going to take to make the game, and so on (One of my favorite kickstarter games that I backed, Volgarr the Viking, asked for like $20.000 because they were two guys working on a game for which they already had a fair amount of framework for ). Another thing Mike said is that the amount they're asking for is the amount it takes for the entirety of the game, full stop. They're not doing the thing a lot of crowdfunded projects do like cutting down on an idea and then adding less important elements like secret bosses or multiplayer or such as stretch goals, the money they raise is exactly the money they need. They're very straight forward about the money thing, I haven't seen the clip you're referring to but I'd imagine the poor dude gets tired of being asked this every time he's in public, especially when there's already a breakdown on the project page.
>>318534379
>>318534196
Seriously, I don't get it. They changed the animation to better suit the game. I can't wrap my head around why some people are so pissed. If they removed all the pantyshots or a great majority I could see your reason for getting upset, but this I just don't get.
>>318534793
It's still content, no matter how small. I feel like you think I'm mad about this.
> All these people defending the changes by assuming that the people complaining have never played the game or are 12 year olds complaining about losing pantyshot frames

And they are right.

Social Justice Warriors are like Central Americans:
You invite/allow one into your community, and everything seems cool. They work hard, keep their mouth shut, and no-one knows anything about them.
By working hard and maintaining their space properly, they eventually become the Manager of your Community.
Suddenly there's new rules as a new law they petitioned for is suddenly passed:
Chicken Coops are allowed.
They start to bring in other like-minded folks as the more reasonable-minded folks move out for someplace that isn't falling apart.
Suddenly half of your nice, quiet, reasonable community are half-filled or more with unwashed stinky people spouting retardation with chicken coops everywhere, that nicely maintained area has fallen apart into a state of total disrepair, bad music is played at full volume 24/7, rats have invaded looking for free lunches and are getting into EVERYONES space...
Reasonable-minded folks move-out en masse.
In the span of less than a YEAR that wonderful community you loved and enjoyed for DECADES is completely destroyed by SJWs/Central Americans, and nothing can be done to stop it from spreading.
I wish I was being racist about this, but it's the God-Damned truth. And every reasonable-minded person who had a SJW/Central American move into their Community knows this all too well.

Actually, that reminds me, I'm sad now, there was a steam community thread for DaS1 where some guy was insisting that the capra demon boss was literally impossible and that everyone who got past it was either using cheats or glitching the game. It was a pretty great read, I should have saved it.

Indivisible isn't full of fetishes
Therefore, the combined censorship of skullgirls and the anti-sex of Indivisible shows a shift in mentality in labzero.
Said mentality is cancer on the industry, games deserve utter collapse for it. Until every single kind of person seen in that newer Indie-game documentary leaves the scene and hates videogames the industry will continue to fall back to the puritan days.
Yes, a game failing because "they took away a .5 second frames" is arguably illogical. However the impact of it will teach them about how little anyone wants their "new standards" in videogames.

Well, it's simple why nobody complained about that; social justice, the hot-button issue of the day, wasn't involved in those. As to whether it's moral or not, I guess if balance patches can go by without incident despite making people unable to play the older versions, frame and costume changes would be fine as well. But then does this excuse every retroactive change, then? Does this justify companies like NoA inserting memes and actually removing stuff from games, or is there a line that's drawn at some point?

The fighting was fucking shit anyways. Cute girls was the only reason I bought this. Oh well, I'm sure someone else will like my money too
i get it that its just a couple of frames, but to me its about the principle of the matter. Its like saying "omg guys they only censored 2 sentences in the "catcher in the rye" , 99% of the book was left untouched, who gives a shit!". it doesnt matter if 2 frames were censored or if 500 panty shots were taken out, its the fact that they felt the need to do it at all that bothers me.

If any developer even makes the slightest hint of something "tumblry" like implying sexualization is bad even in the most minuscule way, or making even the slightest reference to "diversity" it deserves not making a cent from the game.
It sounds undeserving, it seems to harsh for something to fail over something so minuscule, but it's the only way to get "gamer people" like pic related out of games.
Indiegames will go back to being made by people who actually put effort in and ideology shit will finally go.
Games just have to be seen as totally unaccepting of whatever idealogy people try to push through them, whether it be left, right, environmentally friendly? Doesn't matter, videogames should just be one thing, videogames. They're not a cliche, they're not a political podium.

skullgirls was changed by the same people that made it with the plans for those changes actually being made before the game's release and the changes themselves made before they completed working on all the dlc characters (including Eliza, the second lewdest skullgirl)

>if the majority of the cast isn't white it's SJW shit
I know this response is hours late but fuck it.
>>318537767
I think " big brightly colored shoes " are a thing. Although the effect is better when they're wearing nothing else.to me, at least
>>318529314
>Getting rid of the booty-curve
IS THE ENTIRE TEAM FROM IRELAND?
FUCK!
>>318537794
>If any developer even makes the slightest hint of something "tumblry" like implying sexualization is bad even in the most minuscule way, or making even the slightest reference to "diversity" it deserves not making a cent from the game.
Nintendo.
Wanna make another stupid point that's easily dismissable?
>>318537767
she's an acrobatic and presumably flexible dancer, that's probably more important than most of those.
>>318537794
So this is just part of a political crusade for you
>>318537479
And what do you think of the examples of people who were donating large amounts of money to the Indivisible campaign, but retracted them over this issue? >>318530341
>>318527098
But I guess the only example that matters is the one that confirms your bias.
CERO made Sakurai put pants on Palutena. They'll have to remove pantie shot on their characters if they want a lesser rating.
>>318529314
the artist is already sub part but twiting the perspective to avoid what should be visible makes it look like trash.
>>318537939
You ever live in a nice HMA neighborhood when a Central American resident becomes the head of the HOA?
Turns to utter shit 100% of the time.
>>318538079
Maybe he thinks that Nintendo doesn't deserve a cent. Doesn't mean that he can magically make it happen. Keep grasping at straws though
>>318538142
the game has been out for years so who cares?
>>318538115
Different poster but I wish those guys would show screen caps. It would be pretty sweet if they did. I mean anyone can say I JUST REMOVED MY 1000 DOLLAR PLEDGE HURP.
>>318538115
not him but I didn't take the *heavy sigh* guy seriously
>>318525304
Sorry infidels, this a no panty thread now.
>>318530647
Holy shit I fucking hate this phrase.
This is the hill I want to die fighting on. I'm not even making a slippery slope argument. They shouldn't have changed those three frames of animation and made a smug "Yay!" post about it. I don't give a shit what anyone else thinks is trivial. As far as I'm concerned, this is important enough.
>>318537995
I don't think it's a fetish but a girl in a nice dark dress with bright red shoes looks really nice
>>318538079
>b.b.but nintendo
literally?
You just don't make that shit up.
>>318538079
Are you literally actually undeniably factually trying to say that /v/ is not still super pissed about the Xenoblade changes?
I have no problem with the Skullgirls changes and am extremely pissed about Xenoblade because
A) they were performed by an external party from the developers of the game
B) they REMOVED CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS in a game where I am SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO MAKE A CHARACTER LOOK HOW I WANT THEM TO
that is a completely different magnitude of changes compared to Skullgirls.
>>318537980
That was a stupid statement from him, but the game is 100% totally about diversity and multiculturalism
>>318538103
A videogame is entertainment in it's purity, if a videogame wants to include virtual porn then thats fine, because porn is still entertainment since sex is entertainment.
Videogames also have music, which is entertaining, the art is also aesthetically pleasing, and aesthetics are also entertaining (why tourism exists)
But oh no, take away entertainment for "idealogy"? See whats happening here? Just like with the puritans, the ideology fags want to shape games into symbolic representations of their world views.
Well fuck that, remove the cancer for it isn't videogames.
>>318533306
Explain what's wrong with games having diversity without using the words tumblr or SJW.
>>318536661
>anti-sex of Indivisible
Anything less than the most embarrassing anime fan-service garbage might as well be a convent of nuns to you fucking idiots.
>>318537962
What I love is the final line, which pretty much states
>Dude had no right to tell the truth like they did, just like that Nintendo guy that got fired like this guy is gonna be, but it's the truth and we're not releasing internationally because of it.
>>318538082
Eh, I was basing the list on the still pic only.
I know nothing about the game except for threads like this, which is why I refuse to comment on it except for obvious things like what you quoted.
Remember you are giving 1.5 million dollars to those people.
You are now aware they can change their mind on their promise whenever they want, using OP's argument, and get away with it.
>>318538079
>Wanna make another stupid point that's easily dismissable?
>>318538445
Forcing people to do it. What else? I have no problem with Gone Home existing and even selling a lot, but you know who have a problem with DOAX existing.
>>318538424
How is that any worse than having a game be 100% totally about girls in bikinis and fapbait?
>>318538115
I think they are liars claiming to have donated to a campaign because, were it true, it would add legitimacy to their argument. I trust the OP when they say they don't own Skullgirls because, were it true, it removes legitimacy from his argument.
>>318538381A girl wearing nothing but big shoes or boots or such really gets me going
>>318525304
Fucking retards, pantyshots are literally the only reason any non-autistic people ever bothered with fighting games!
>>318538412
>I have no problem with the Skullgirls changes and am extremely pissed about Xenoblade because
So it's just about your brand vs their brand? Pathetic.
>>318538079
Well maybe faggots shouldn't have caved and bought all those censored games then?
/v/ has no balls.
>>318530341
>*heavy sigh*
>>318537794
You're just as wrong as the SJWs.
Video games should be judged by quality, not things like lack or inclusion of anything
>>318538673
Learn to talk before trying to take a high ground, kid.
>>318525304
>Mainly I take issue with the fact that they removed these things without the consent of their consumers, the ones who already bought the game.
>>318525304
Wow you are a real baby about a few frames of someone's underwear. You can google softcore porn you know.
>>318538784
I'm rapidly getting tired of this meme. The original was great but none of the alternates are any good.
>>318538627
Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything. They made their own little diverse game just like you people told them to.
>>318538719
>so it's just about what the changes were, the reasons those changes were made, and who performed those changes? none of those factors have any relevance to this argument.
what the literal fuck are you talking about?
>>318538627
I agree with this.
>>318526814
>The lewd girls were never the main selling point.
this nigga must be gay to be this tryhard
>>318538913
>stop neogafsecute me! meme hurt my feelings you must stop using them!
fuck
off
>>318538320
The new Japanese release with Japanese VAs
>>318538918
>Nobody is forcing anyone to do anything
LOL
>>318538082
You have many ways to add attributes to a drawn character.
One is "I did this doodle, now what's it like?" and work from there.
The other is personifying a concept or obstacle.
And if (or until) Indivisible is released, we'll know which one of those this bitch is,
I think it's funny that this is the only time /v/ ever wants to talk about fighting game. When they're trying to go on some crusade over SJW or something.
>>318538875
Gameplay is the most important thing in games, but to say it is the only thing that matters is a falsehood.
A game with bad music tends to be noted as having shit music, music has a factor of improving the games experience since music manipulates emotion.
Sex appeal also has an impact, a lewd character can improve the experience much like how adding sugar to salt improves the flavor of the salt.
To damage a game for the sake of ideology shouldn't be tolerated.
>>318539024
I tried to think of something funny to retort, but I was just completely thrown off at how mad that inconsequential post made you.
>removing pantyshots from fighting game
Coming soon: removing weapons from cowadoodie
Oh wait it will never happen because murrishit is ok with murder, it's only sex which is problem
Y'know, >>318538673 I'm the guy who made that post you replied to, and I have to agree with your reasoning.also I'm OP lel
>>318538332
>>318538340
Yeah, I'd like to see screenshots for those posts too, although I believe what they said just purely on faith and from how they worded it.
>>318539206
Fighting games are obsolete shit only reason to ever play them is to fap and everyone non autistic knows that
>>318539230
You are correct, but this really doesn't apply to a situation where tiny, insignificant amount of sexy images ( which are far from the lewdest ) are replaced with something slightly less sexy because the dev team didn't like how it looked.
>>318533651
I'm looking for the upvote button but I can't find it. Can someone help me I'm new. Anyways I like your comment and hope you have a good day.
>>318538458
This. I love tits and cute girls and butts and long legs and slinky dresses, but because they're not flagrantly bouncing and sweaty it's somehow PUT THESE BITCHES IN BURQAS
>>318529314
why was that necessary? its just like the sf cover up. glad i never bout this
>>318538749
Its just hilarious. Nintendo is the posterboy of his argument They make billions.
Basically what happened: jew collected dorraridos from FG autists and since they already paid decided to do little defacement to earn liberal respect points
>>318531120
>>Play Terraria where the black NPC can hook up with your female NPCs
>>318531120
What's wrong with it?
>>318539230
>like how adding sugar to salt improves the flavor of the salt
and there's such a thing as too much sugar, even on the richest of desserts.
>>318539206
What, did you think they'd actually want to talk about a fucking video game? Why would you do that when you can talk about censorship or how the industry sucks or a developer's failings or your favorite hardware box, THINLY VEILED as talking about video games?
>>318539404
Did you not read my prior posts? Of course a few panty shots don't change much.
But it's the action that counts, the implications of their reasoning. It must be made example of, that even the most insignificant thing will be intolerated.
So how exactly is this censorship when there's still plenty of cleavage and panty shots in the game?
>>318525304
That's what you deserve for paying for yoge kusoge
>>318539206
Its sad cause there used to be pretty decent Skullgirl threads where we set up lobbies.
I can certainly say those are dead now.
>>318539795
>>Nintendo removes two outfits from Fatal Frame

Because /v/ is shit at it.
>Bravely default
>people still bought it
>Fatal Fram
>they're still going to buy it.
>Xenoblades ect. ect.
They don't have the balls to not buy things over censorship, and so nintendo will keep doing it.
>>318538627
>Forcing people to do it.
Well, then it's a good thing those big mean ESS-JAY-DOUBLEYEWS have never actually forced anyone to do anything then, eh?
>>318539478
Animation revision. The internet saw it as SJW pandering and threw a fit. Do note other, more blatant pantyshots are still in game.
Lab Zero responded fine first, then the internet got to them and had to put a stop to it in a questionable (for some) manner.
>>318540007
I would rather not have it at all.
People need to start taking a stand against this shit or nothing will change.
