Salty Cupcakes

In response to Wednesday Night Fights dropping Skullgirls, Mike Z has decided to start his own SKullgirls-esq fight night. The event combines Skullgirls, cupcakes, boba, and not-being-held-at-my-apartment into one big desserty night.

Here are the details for the event;

When: Thursdays 7pm-??, beginning September 13th.
Where: Frootsii, a 24-hr casual boba/snack/dessert hangout located at 14318 Ventura Blvd in Sherman Oaks. There's a big comfy couch, many types of delicious drinks and food to order, and parking underground. Also tables, chairs, a floor, lights, and lots and lots of breathable air.

I will be bringing two PS3 setups (and possibly a 360), all patched. Bring sticks, and if you have a lagless monitor it would be much appreciated. If bloodlust dictates, I will run a tournament starting at 9:30 or so.

If this one-off proves successful, he will turn it into a weekly event.

Skullgirls Patch Revision

Mike Z has released details about a revision of the patch that was submitted to Konami a couple weeks ago.

The changes are as follows:

• Filia – dashcancel on airballs hit or whiff.
• Fortune – can supercancel the overhead of her Rekkas.
• Parasoul – can call RC soldier to cancel out of her Lv3.
• Double – hold Back during startup of Car to come out from the other side of the screen. Also Furoboros back to 1/6 meter gain (up from 0), and s.MK-2nd frame data restored (1f slower than it is now, rather than 5f slower).
• Peacock – can supercancel teleport recovery anytime, even before she’s vulnerable, not from fake teleports; can cancel Georges into each other as soon as the bomb is created, like Parasoul’s tear toss; Peacock’s recovery after putting out Lenny is 5f faster.
• Cerebella – longer supercancel time on j.D+MP; can cancel Ultimate Showstopper into DP+MP right before the last hit, sacrificing damage but allowing combos, scales followup damage to 33%.
• Valentine – allow movement and actions after air scalpel super.
• Painwheel – can fly-cancel scythe grabs on hit. Scythe hitboxes adjusted, air versions and ground LK version will grab from closer.

A new video has also been released displaying the updated patch.

Skullgirls Patch Delayed

Skullgirls co-creator Mike Z posted on Shoryuken yesterday that the patch has been delayed because of financial reasons that are beyond his control. He released no other information on the subject. To see what the much anticipated patch will include, visit Blue Gartr & Shoryuken.
