LAB ZERO IS GETTING TRIGGER TO ANIMATE INDIVISBLE'S OPENING

Excuse me while I laugh even harder.

I completely forgot this piece of shit even existed.

Thank you for making my day worse OP. You're a faggot.

And with this, their Defense Forces will excuse any shortcomings with B-BUT MUH TRIGGER ANIMATED IT.
Hoping the Skullgirls curse is still alive and Trigger tells them to fuck off or something.

Not content with simply saving anime, Trigger will save video games as well.

None

So it's Exist Archive and Lightning Returns all over again.

>you will never play a rehash of VP1 with Lenneth giving out orders in Odin's place.

Faggots gotta finish their game first.

They did spend millions of dollars on hitboxes.

Skullgirls is dead I think. The game had beautiful animation but I hear it was expensive and time consuming to make so they werent able to have half the character roster they had, even with crowdfunding.

I've played beta today. Preatty fun gameplay. Had some problems with blocking, but I'm a guy who rather grind in bloodborne than fuckin' learn the basics. Platformers sections are simple enough for retard noob like me, except I got lost after killing boss in second building.

My only request: better minimap guys, for retards like me.

...

Only because the devs are complete retards that can't into managing their own money.

...

Could have Had Mike Matei animate it for 1/4th the price.

Wow. She suddenly looks way better.

If anyone here backed this game, what were the strech goals after the anime opening? I'm guessing there were better goals after this and that is pretty shitty. Also does lab zero answer why they need an anime intro when they were so tight on money the last time and they needed an extension for funding this time?

A shit animation studio for a shit game

Is this my waifu?

Because they're retards.

What the fuck. That's a genuine improvement.

I'm a lot less cynical than the average Holla Forumsirgin at this point so I dont know I'd say that but it sure makes me worried for character or especially enemy variety in Indivisible.

That's a reason to buy.

And the porn.

...

How is it possible that autistic wastes of space like us can shit out a better concept that these fuckers that are paid for it?

Can someone answer me this question?

We actually care.

I was trying to follow it but I didn't look at the stretch goals; Indivisible barely hit its main goal as it was, mostly thanks to suddenly large last-second donations.

I'm cautious about this game, but since I liked Skullgirls at a basic level I'd probably have fun with this if I played it. I'm gonna be waiting to hear on launch day how people find it. Otherwise, I'll still be kinda wishing Lab Zero had just done Marie, Umbrella and Black Dahlia so we could have had the story mode in SG.

Fighting games are a lot more expensive than they look, but Lab Zero have two bigger things holding them back:
The animation is their greatest strength, though, so it's hard to argue its removal. A lot of people got into Skullgirls just because of how good it looked. But does Indivisible need this animation? Do future games? Iunno; with brand recognition under their belt, a Skullgirls 2 could get away with stylised 3D models like what GGXrd did.

I have no idea why they are still in San Francisco. Staying there must eat massively into their budgets, be it for food or offices or accommodation, etc. and a lot of Lab Zero devs weren't living that well off of their crowdfunder budget. Why can't they just relocate to somewhere cheaper, set up a few computers and tablets there, and make their games where it doesn't cost…how much money does it cost to live in San Fran nowadays?

Feck, that would actually be compelling.
Senketsu was best boy of all boys

This was allowed on television.

...

I'm not going to shit on Trigger cause money is money but Lab zero are full of shit cause they cry about money yet hire Trigger a studio who are highly claimed animation and trust me if you watched their making of videos you'd see how expensive they are.

Cause we might be autistic as fuck but we have taste in character designs.

Animation in the west is fucking cancer.

Kiznaiver was shit.

To be devils advocate, I doubt companies are going to be breaking their necks to find good animators and taking time for quality TV, they'll be shitting out the easiest, low effort thing possible.

Probably because its where their friends live or something.

There's good and bad shit user, no matter where you are.

The fuck is Kiznaiver? Have I been living under a rock to not know Trigger made something after KLK?

Honestly you're probably right, and that worries me either way. Either they're there because they want the clique to shill for them, or because they just want to see their friends after work each day and put them before their business goals or fans. Neither of those are a great look on them, IMO.

Gotta have the clique user.

When even the cancer else where is better then what is here then there is a major problem.

I liked it user.
It looked good.

Biggest thing after an anime opening is Voice Actors from the shitty VA Union hand picked by Christina Vee. After that, I forget, because I wanted it to succeed but not hire expensive, douchey, overused Voice Actors so I don't give a fuck about anything else. I just want it to be a fun game, and it has the possibility to be fun. It'll probably end up botched somehow.

I'm willing to bet that it's more because it's a major city area and those are always idealized as the places you gotta be, even if its bad for your wallet in the long run. Or because they want to be right next to where they work because they dont like commuting, never mind the fact that work is temporary and thats even more expensive.

I still don't get why the clique is that sought after. I think carving out your own niche is difficult but more heartwarming in the end.

As for animation between regions, I guess its a matter of picking your poison. I can see why people prefer Japanese animation because it certainly looks leagues less uglier even though I guess you can argue that its more stilted. I blame Adventure Time for setting this ugly standard.

call me when it's 3hz, trigger is fucking garbage.

So did they make Skullgirls fun yet?

Kiznaiver was boring drama shit with boring characters. You should still check it out and judge by yourself I guess.

the irony is palpable

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Anyone who hates flip flappers is a traitor to anime.

Is that so? Do tell why.

Those people must seriously hate money.

Not that I don't love me some Trigger, but I can't help but feel that this is not only an absolute waste of time and talent, but that nobody who's excited about this game would enjoy Trigger's involvement in the slightest.

I just wish they could be talked out of it. What they do is game development; that strictly software-based. You can set up a computer anywhere there is electricity, like in the much cheaper parts of the country.
So what you're telling me is, if we expose to the world how shit San Francisco really is, we can save a few video games?

...

Because it's the best anime since 2014.

Money is money user, especially to overworked nip animators. As long as they fork over the dough they'll do it. And I don't really mind because it just means that the game is probably gonna flop if they're sinking that much into the fucking opening cinematic.

Now that I realise it's also the same studio that ran out of budget near the end if I recall. It's a match made in heaven.

What they do is game development backed directly by the consumer, and they go and burn through money like this without the backers consent which is the most baffling thing.

Man I sure do love having my eyes bleed from dogshit animation.

Trigger literally saved anime.

ok, I believe you user.

...

They'll take the money and do the work, no doubt about it, but if they wanted an authentic(tm) anime opening, they should've gone with someone else. No tumblrite is going to want to buy this game if it means being associated with Trigger.

Don't crowdfunding sites take like a huge cut from campaigns? I hear even though MN9 made about 3.8 million dollars the money after that was closer to 2 million, I'm not sure how much money Lab Zero made but it makes me wonder if they'll burn through it quicker and need to open up another campaign.

I would like that to be the case but that just isn't being realistic. People always want to be near cities because its more lively compared to small town areas. If it isn't in San Fran, it's going to be somewhere else.

Am I missing something? I though tumblr loved trigger and kill la kill.

This isn't so bad because really it seems to be more of a style because the characters are still somewhat different. It's a problem when the characters look indistinguishable not just in the design but by the stupid oversaturated color palatte

By the way the first two are not from the nuPowerpuff show.

It was one of the stretch goals, so I imagine it cost whatever it took to get from the previous stretch goal, to it, and not half the budget like I imagine you want to believe.

They were bitching about that new anime with lesbian witches being heteronormative just because of a jiggle of some boobs. How the fuck are they going to like Kill La Kill?

A show where the protagonist wears an outfit that's outrageously revealing, has several scenes where characters are naked, including and especially the ending? It wouldn't be the first time those faggots have exerted "rules for thee but not for me", but if you're right, it's news to me.

Was it "they" or was it one person?

user, they don't abide by any kind of logic, they pick and choose what is good or not based on feefees, or whatever the feminist of the day tell them.

I could be wrong, I mean I've seen little evidence supporting or denying it.

please kill yourself for having such garbage taste

Those fuckers know how to get money so they can make their own shit with it. They're probably going to take all of this hipster money and shovel into some fucking awesome shit Imashi has been chomping on the bit to make.

Mistakes into miracles.

they're making little witch academia the anime, hope you like harry potter with girls and shitty referential jokes. Trigger has never made anything good.

I've never watched the anime nor read the manga, I just like the cute frog girl.

Fucking cancer

Its worse then bad.

Why is it so hip to shit on trigger?

Little Witch Academia didn't use the entire 250k dollary-doos it had access to. Kill la Kill was under 200k per episode since it had (supposedly) a lower budget than TTGL.
If you're gonna drop the cash on animation work, I'd say they're a much better choice than the CalArts rejects floating about.

It's a crossboard shitposter. Faggot tried to derail the winter season chart thread on /a/ with the same "arguments" but no one took the bait, so he's come fishing here.

wasted potential and false promises the studio. Do you think it's horrible to criticize a studio that has never delivered or something?

lol k

For the same reason it's hip to shit on P*: they can act superior because everything is shit despite there being some positive points to things.

Half those characters don't actually look like that at all

google some images and prove him wrong. pro tip: you can't

so how hard owuld it be for a baka gajin to get hired overseas / not get killed by mudslimes in french animation studios

at least i can still do STEM i guess.

think about charlie hebdo then think about what you posted again.

Kill yourself, retard.

i know and that's what kills me
because i've seen some really good animation come out of france and yet they have all that bullshit going on
animation is dead

defend studio trigger, nigger, they have never lived up to any of their expectations and everything they have done has either been shit or a massive disappointment

Your ID perfectly describes your opinions.

There's nothing surprising about that.

...

describe the redeeming qualities of anything trigger has made

This looks terrible. I only like the design for the main lead, the others in the party and enemy designs are stinkers. Combat seems okay but the platforming seems unnecessary.

A recolor without a muh diversity agenda might be better but don't kid yourself on who did the "concept", lad.

The concept is generic as they come. The only "noteworthy" thing about it is that she is brown.

He's right, though. Trigger has always been a low quality garbage dump for bad animators and directors since its inception. Of course Gainax was the same way.

It doesn't look good, but isn't it only a prototype? As in, "Not even an alpha, just a proof of concept so you know how badly we want your money?" Which is a lot more than most kickstarters ever do?

Agreed on the character designs, though. They're trying to make them stand out, but there's just something about the different concepts they bring together that just fails. Skullgirls succeeded because its creepy-and-cute contrast worked with about everyone but Painwheel. The protag works because she's meant to be the relatable/cute one, but I don't know what they want from the turban guy, the archer or the tigerskin lady; they just don't bring an emotion of their own into the action.

it's a shitty valkyrie profile ripoff with half-assed metroidvania platforming tossed in.

So… a respectable human bean?

What's your favourite animated series?

Because KLK is basically a Holla Forums tier anime and is popular with tumblr. People who like KLK are typically assumed to be crossboarders who undoubtedly have shit taste and don't watch anything but OPM/Overlord/KLK/Jojo.

Kiznaiver aside, most of their stuff is basically "good but not great" tier.

there's a few high moments and funny gags in a lot of trigger anime, but they always manage to squander any potential. Kill La Kill went to absolute shit after the first half, and the ending was one of the most disappointing things I've seen.

Little Witch Academia was a little fun, but the second ova was very weak. The team can't seem to deliver on anything solid.

Shit taste confirmed.

What?

think cowboy bebop or dragon ball z. remembered for a few moments but everything else is boring as shit

Makes sense why she always had a Ryukoface now

Imagine if someone here posted about how their favourite video games were HL2, Overwatch, Portal, or anything along those lines

I was implying that kiznaiver is shit below that tier, but i'm replying to bait

There were lectures on conventions to explain how KLK is a feminist empowerment anime.

They've already groupthunk their way out of it :^)

I don't watch ether but based on that clip, flipflappers looks like its better animation then kill la kill tbh.

my favorite game is hl2 and portal is a masterclass in game design

Aren't Chaika, Yuru Yuri and Kiniro Mosaic the real Holla Forums tier animus?

demos okay, I'd still rather pla Valkyrie Profile and honestly I dont know if they know how to draw the line between fightan and whatever VP is considered
I also dont think Kike Z knows what hes doing about anything and that the game might get ruined

it is, you may want to look into it, it's been a very refreshing anime from people with virtually no pedigree. The people behind it have an interesting history, but few major projects under their names. The director, notably is known for animating the entirety of Space Dandy episode 18 himself, with no assistance. This is also considered the best animated episode in the series - Flip Flappers is his first directing position. The CGI artist is former studio ghibli staff, and has done great work already. It's a noteworthy contrast to triggers low budget, low quality, janky looking animation which gets by with its liberal use of cheating effects in that it quite often features deliberate and slow animation with a lot of weight behind it. It's a joint effort between a few studios and interestingly, it was completed before its airing (most anime is still being worked on while it is airing.)

It's an oddity, and a little hard to follow, but rich in small details and very consistent. Very inventive story telling too.

yuru yuri is amazing

You should. Flip Flappers is fun as hell.

Kiniro Mosaic has a shitty fanbase too, but it's a different one.

MARK!=
I WANT SUMMER TO END!

Okay, so he was always ball-to-the-wall, but getting Trigger to animate his game is making me think he's letting his 15 minutes of Blazblue and Skullgirls fame get to his fat head.

I mean, I almost never see KLK posts on Holla Forums, but I see those three all the time.

Go back to boards.4chan.org/a/
Are you IRC niggers really trying this shit again?

It's hard to stand out when you're just a few of the army characters they're planning for this game.

I think this is where part of the problem lies. Instead of taking time to make a few characters memorable, they're going to flood this game with OC garbage.

You've done it now

The original Mobile Suit Gundam

Only Mark likes Umaru and only because she's a lazy retard who looks like a hamster while Mark is a lazy sperg who looks like a sloth, so it's a good match.

Your deductive abilities are just as good as your taste.

Which is to say, not very good.

Were you on 4/v/ when KLK was airing? It was like every other day someone would be posting saying platinum should make a KLK game. It became Holla Forums's anime of the year – as in the only anime they watched that year.

It's amazing how none of these designs stand out in the slightest.

mark looks more like an orangutan, I've seen him in person.
also gave him a hug, sup fag

this has to be some kind of record

Okay.

your point?

I bet this is the first time you've even seen those edits.

Of all those designs, only black wario and the dog look any good.

You're talking about the long past Cuck Ages user, that's behind us now.

the waves of time rage on. the KLK narrative must be destroyed.

Oh, and somebody post the pic of neofags losing their shit at some shoop that turns the character white, that's a fun pic.

Kroni, you spic, I hope to god that Trump kicks your illegal ass back over the wall in January.

...

None of these look like main character material. I can't put my finger on it, they just all feel so bland.

Stop this. Holy shit, get original.

who is that? I'm white.

she's a lot cuter that way.

...

It was literally one faggot, and that was probably you.

No.

Thanks user.

You're not fooling anyone, kroni.

It's not Undertale, faggot.

...

white and I have more CRTs than you do

How is it Undertale, then?

Alternatively

MANLY MEN DOING MANLY THINGS

UNLIKE YOUR MOE GARBAGE

...

to be honest is there any blonde haired blue eyed females in western video games? I can't honestly think of a single one tbh. Zelda Peach and Samus seem to be the only heroins that come to mind thanks to Japan.

...

This reminds me of faux earthbound kickstarter project #68753 (Citizens of Earth), which also had a billion poorly delineated characters.

That implies that tits are just extra and not a greater part of the show's themes; there's more meaning to KLK than "haha so randum :p". Way to completely not understand the show at all.
Fuck, what an idiot. This is Polygon's prime demographic. KLK was still disappointing

you're welcome :^)

Their protagonist is just nigger Ryuko anyway.

Because is popular I guess.

can't think of any off the top of my head. that exact combination seems pretty rare, esp. in pozzed western games.

You know, had they kept the mystic middle eastern motif and maybe only added a few white crusaders & mercs, and worked on character design a bit more, i might have actually liked it

I cant think of any
I need to work on being a better artist. i kinda want to make this

So… how much does it cost to hire Trigger to make your anime? Winning the lottery would be enouth? like 50 million € or something.

(double doubles checked)
Can anyone please post the picture of that tumblrfag who got royally triggered by this gif?

More importantly, how much would another season of Inferno Cop cost?

they'll work for a few hundred thousand, the quality of their work will be web quality.

...

Yeah. Don't tell me that wasn't on purpose.

Pathetic.

Yea, they knew what they were doing

There's some in the Witcher games and Mercy in Overwatch but the later is probably the only one I recall that's not a secondary/supporting character in her game.

By nips, there's Helena (DOA), Amazon (Dragon's Crown), Velvet (Odin Sphere), Nina, Lili and Chloe (Tekken), Alexia, Sherry, nu-Jill (Resident Evil), Sasha (Max Anarchy), Mature (KoF), Juliet (Lollipop Chainsaw), Lady Maria and the Plain Doll (Bloodborne), the titular Catherine, Iowa and Warspite in Kantai Collection and I'm sure there's more but that's all that comes to mind at the moment.

That's ok. You will some day.

That's because japs think most westerners are blonde with light eyes.
The reality is far more depressing.

But little witch academia is getting an actual season so that's ok

Sauce pls? No results.

You forgot to sexualize her.

Way bigger tits, something like pigtails, blushing cheeks and visible panties.

They were flipping the fuck out at the other edit like that.

No. She does need some shoes, though, and brighter skintone. Maybe lose the freckles.

Neogaf is actually to thank for the creation of this since they were so triggered it inspired an edit much more irreverent to their anti-white sentiments.

Fuck off, stockings + no shoes is FINE

to be clear I was meaning character as main protagonist. NeoGAF and Movie Bob acts like every video game in the last 20 years is some sort of variant of Chad-culture dude bro vidya babage. Yet I can't think of a single example of what these fagots are alleging. aside from a few gems form japland

I feel sorry for the people that payed full price for this crap. A real shame that CD Projekt RED are pozload cuckolds that I assume welcome genocide of their own people.

just fuck my shit up

What the fuck are you trying to say?

It's because they're soulless. None of the designs have any passion behind them except maybe the first four. The rest are rushed to fuck.

Robo fister is the best example of this. Her name should be DEADLINE.

Otoyomegatari.

I played World Heroes at the arcades when I was little. I usually mained the one representing Joan of Arc. The whole point of the game was that it was an international cast from all over the world, it was designed by the japs and 3/4ths of the cast were still white.

This feels so unnatural and forced. Half the designs look like they started as white characters and then they just changed their skin color, many of the others look like they just googled weapons of cultures with brown people and then spent five minutes designing a character around the weapon. Tungar for instance, I know those swords, a character in a fighting game with a style built around it should be a lot of fun, but the character himself looks like no effort was put into his design at all. "Just make him look fat and ethnic." Is Leilani using a wooden chainsaw? What the fuck?

What do you mean no? Tattered shirt with visible cleavage and stomach. Maybe put some make up on her, whore her up. It'll drive them nuts.

It is really depressing, they're in for quite a rude awakening.

No

Just kebab my shit up.

Because they literally ran a checklist of "cultures"; probably scoured Wikipedia for their "research" then put their own little spin on it like that chick from Scottpilgrimstan and the feudal Japan nun with hooker boots and floating armor pieces all done with a 50/50 gender ratio.
It's the most bland and inoffensive shit ever and all done riding the success of one guy who's art was famous for gratuitous amounts of TNA. Indivisible is as [CURRENT YEAR] as a game can get.

...

Wow, I wonder where they got the ideas for these characters? :^)
Most of the designs have nothing singularly interesting to focus on. Chinese pirate lady is probably the best one.

It looks like they're wearing a teddy or something similar under all the belts, which is pretty hot.
I think you're right, though. Most of them needed to go through a few more drafts. They likely rushed them out to advertise the kickstarter.

What a racist thing to say. They should take pride in their diversity!

My thoughts exactly though she's basically a Ruby Heart raceswap. Also would be nice if she were drawn by a actually competent artist.

Not even close.

Holy miscegenation, Batman!
Yeah okay, I stand corrected.

Amazing that in the thirtieth century people care about shit like that.

Speak sense you dumb slut.

I'm still amazed how sharply standards for female characters have declined in the west in the past decade.

The number of visually memorable female characters can be counted on one hand. Meanwhile Japan can make enough variations of blonde/blue eyed to be instantly recognizable as their own characters.

Now just imagine the list of ethnicities two generations down the line. What's really hilarious is that 1500 years into the future the current year is the exact moment they chose to racemix. Before that they were apparently all diverse, distinctive ethnicities.

Heads up: someone leaked Indivisible's WIP soundtrack.

...

...

Yep, that might be what I was thinking of. Funny how it's now only jap devs that can make memorable westerner characters now.

Notice where it says "british" or "dutch", but they'll all look like the other half moreso.

Stop posting this in every thread, torfag.

I liked the demo

yourlogicalfallacyis.com/the-fallacy-fallacy

No, you didn't.

...

The future shitskins will be the products of raceMIXing after all
also

You're full of shit

Not smug enough.

...

...

There's the protagonist of Heroine Quest, but I think she's only that way because the whole game is an omage to Quest for Glory - and the protagonist from that was a blonde haired - blue eyed guy.

I hope trigger gets to know about diversity and culture so they can make better products

So is Kill La Kill actually worth watching? If not, what's wrong with it?

archer is shit
tomperry knock off hex maniac would be ok without the tiger skin, and something else instead
Tungar is ok
Dhar is shit
Rapunzel is ok
old yippi-yay wild west shooter is barely ok, depends on animations
chinese fat lady with big bird would be ok if they make her a loli and cute
narsuss is shit
Yan can be ok depending on animations
naga rider depends on animatioins
Burger-consuming landwhale bow and arrow girl is complete and utter shit
Kaldi depends on animations, although he looks meh from concept art
Toko is shit
George looks like he could be good or plain depending on animations and attacks
Baozahi looks promising
antoine is shit because culturally enriched diversity token, if it was a normal smug dude it would be ok and have potential
Zahra looks like she could be good depending on animations
Tenoch is shit, the size and scaling is all over the place
Nuna could be promising
Lanshi could be promising
Qadira is ok
Tatanka is ok
Leilani is generic, but could be good
Hassam looks like its trying too hard. will depend on animations
Kampan is shit
Kogi is shit
Sangmu will depend on attacks and animation
Ren is ok, again, will depend on animations and details

That nigger posts here?

Why dont you find out for yourself, you can download it and watch the first few episodes within an hour.

I want ruby heart for marvel vs capcom infinity

Does that bitch have no arms? Also, the only two that seem ok are tiger chick and girl with chainsaw sword. All this does is makes me want a Hawaiian theme game with Leilani instead of this shit.

No, it isn't. What practical use would it be to walk barefoot in a garment that is easily torn?

Nice. Will check out. Thank you.

Maybe the brown slut, but not the pure aryan, you fucking degenerate.

Paddy pls go.

Still never played much of it even though I have it downloaded. It's not very impressive from the little bit I did play. AGI games are not hard to make, me an my brother working on them back in the late 90's as a hobby. We even helped with a QfG6 fan game with the guy's from agdinteractive. Same people that latter went on make the fan remake of QfG2.
please don't remind me used to be one of my favorite old games series until i talked to Lori and Corey Cole IRL and realized they are two of the biggest libshit cunts I've ever met.

yes

Depends as they do spit out a load of forgettable crap as well.

I'll admit I like a lot of characters in the Witcher games but mostly for memorable lines or story moments. Visually, only a select few have something going on for them.
But yeah, when I think of Western-styled characters, I usually think of stuff by P* (mostly Mad World and Max Anarchy), MGS, Souls games or the very specific case of Dragon's Dogma. But I'm a fuckin' weeb.

They fucked it up bad, it doesn't look like there is juggling or simultaneous attacks like in VP.

All this talk is reminding me that blondes have more fun.

More blondes

Early prototype. Its barebones as it is just to show the engine and the basic idea, and more specific system mechanics are going to come with the rest of development.

indivisiblegame.com/blog/building-on-the-indivisible-prototype/

I didn't rename them all and some are pretty shit, but whatever.

Wew, reminds me Broquest.

What new fighting game character that has come out with the recent fighting games (SFV, KoFXIV, Tekken 7, etc.) are memorable? what do they do that these characters don't?

A question directed to everyone in this thread.

They're from a fighting game, to begin with?

90% of fighting game characters from this day and age are veterans from their own series and the occasional guest character. That 10% could be hobos and Ryu clones for all people could care, since it's not their face that sells the game, but the main characters'. There's some exception to that though.

A good name for the three unnamed ones would be Exotic NPC

I would like to know that exception because in [PRESENT TIME] there will be thousands of popular well known characters and the risk of making something new means that it won't be as liked as an old IP giant. That's why I'm asking if there are any new characters that have come out recently that stand out or are cool enough to stand the test of time and what differences they have compared to the characters in indivisible you don't like.

That really does describe some of them

Bedman is such a weird, dumb concept that I can't help but find him kind of endearing. Helps that I like his moveset as well.

Personally, I don't care for a lot of Indivisible's character designs, but there are a few that I do like like Naga Rider and Tungar and, in the end, character design will likely take the backseat to team building for me, assuming I bother with the game.

While not a brand new game, Elphelt Valentine is a hugely popular character from Guilty Gear, with their popularity outclassing many veteran characters.
Elphelt, storywise, is a robot that seemingly is rebelling against her creator, which is the primary antagonist. In-game she's a super happy character and always talks about getting married.

Was about to post Cidney. I'd say she's memorable on the amount of assblast she's causing in the West alone.

I find SFV's and T7's newcomers memorable for all the wrong reasons.
Anyway, from the game I actually play, KoF XIV, there's:
Antonov - he'd just be a generic brawler but as the tournament sponsor, he's surprisingly down-to-earth and all round bro-tier so I'd say it's the personality and the moves that make him memorable.
Luong - has a ~ara femme fatale vibe about her which is a nice change from the usual teen/young adult female characters.
Mian - a cute. CUTE!
Sylvie - for good or bad, the Kyaru Pyamy Pyamy knock-off is certainly memorable.
Xanadu - psychotic manchild with coked out eyes that occasionally spouts cosmic wisdom.
And so on. IMHO KoF XIV had a nice cast of newcomers. Ain't even mad that most of my favorites didn't return.

I know that there's a, probably less brown, character from a game that looks like the one hold the dodgeball. I want to say his name starts with a T and it has a apostrophe in it, but I can't figure it out. I could've just called him Exotic Wakka though.

Also, I was going to name the red girl Mass Effect Reject, but I don't know that would have worked.

he even has his own music video

he's really memorable

Having tried a bit of it on PS4 I still can't help but feel a bit confused. I like the music and the animations, that deserves credit where credit is due. But at the same time the combat system is it's biggest flaw right now, I think all you could do was attack or defend so I hope that gets tweaked like crazy. I'm also worried they'll focus too much on either trying to be a good platformer and a poor RPG, or a good RPG but a slow as balls platformer, or end up in the middle with a bland game.

I guess I'm too tired but in a case like this I want to be proven wrong and see that they can make a good game, but it seems like this could be easy to mess up.

Well I don't know if that really counts since it's from like more than 5 years ago but Juri and Crimson Viper seem to be popular designs, if only because of waifufaggottry. I know it's hard as fuck since on the one hand, the industry is dry of any actual talent that doesn't come from the Calarts clique or isn't a mindless artist scrambling a design for the all mighty AAA industry, on the other hand literally everything has been tried already, the point is that at the very least those waifufaggottry designs stand out among the older ones while at the same time not being 100% stereotypes or clones of other characters. With Indivisible, it just seems to me they took a bunch of concepts and character archetypes, weaponized them, made them niggers or spics and called it a day, with no respect to a well defined silhouette or gimmick.

Shovelkight might be shilled to hell and back on Holla Forums, but at least its design can stand out because it's simple, recognizable, doesn't get filled with useless details and with the exact colors and palette for its settings. The cast for Indivisible is all over the place with colors, yet the only thing making them different is their choice of weaponry, with no theme or worthwhile design to link them. You could tell me any of the characters on that list was the actual main guy and, with the exception fo the most generic ones, I'd just have to take your word for it.
And I'm guessing the reason for that mess of a roster is because they literally forced Ahad to tone it down with the lives and hometowns and turn the dials on maximum diversity. I mean, that guy might be a sleazy looking mongrel, but give him a pencil, a piece of paper and a Victoria Secrets catalog and the man will instinctively throw in a good design.

By the way, am I the only one that sees the tumblr logo on this guy

No I see it too. I'm sure it was a subconscious plea for help.

Have to confess I was kinda miffed that the redesigned Elphelt didn't have her voice and stuff like stance and walk animation to reflect her new appearance.

If I'm not mistaken, Ahad only designed a few characters and it's Mariel who's at the helm. They're just (shoddily) copying his style so people can look at the designs and recognize it as by the people who did Skullgirls.

Yeah, I am kind of worried about the fact that they are trying to make this a real mishmash of a bunch of things.

I think its great to have some ambition, but I could see this lack of focus blowing up in their faces pretty hard.

That said, I personally really liked the prototype once I started getting the hang of it and started learning some of the less intuitive stuff that had to do with the super meter and the moves affected your cooldowns.
The boss, the boss pit escape, and the secret boss battle are probably the highest points of the prototype, for me.
Fighting the fodder felt a lot more tedious than it could have, but perhaps that is because the prototype has yet to have a lot of the real mechanics of combat added to it beyond the bare basics.

Time will tell how this game ends up.

I really hated Sylvie and Xanadu. They really break the stupid wacky boundary for me. Sylvie moreso because she's a literal carbon copy of an Idol and the world needs more of that shit and then Xanadu because we could have gotten another character like Freeman, Yamazaki, Raiden,or Hwa Jai but instead we got a wacky stupid character.

But street fighter took stereotypes of different characters and put them in a game. Honestly they aren't 10/10 icon material but I would have to see some of the characters moves before I completely dismiss them. There are some designs that do scream "background NPC" though.

I do hate this guy's design the most. he seems like a knife peddler and he does have tumblr swords

The was only one stretch goal past the VA hirings, multiple endings and a post-game bonus dungeon. Somehow I doubt they would have been worthwhile.

...

How bad can kebab women be? I'd be a lot more concerned about the men.

Also, there's the basic design concept from cartoons, silhouetting. Basically, you need to make a character that can be easily identified just by their silhouette as the first step to making them memorable.

...

Ever wonder who raises the mudshit men to behave like they do?

wew

Aren't kebab women inferior to males? I figure that they wouldn't even be able to order around their sons.

Biggest issue is that the mothers spoil the sons rotten and never set any boundaries for them. Either that or take out their frustrations towards their husbands and society in general on their sons.

This.

Seriously, there's so many things wrong with these characters that I wouldn't be surprised if Lab Zero either redesign them or cut most of them completely. They're literally a bunch of rushed, lazy shit.

When you remember that they used character unveilings as donation incentives and pandered directly too Tumblr, the shit on display in the roster suddenly makes a lot more since.
I bet $50 that two thirds of those garbage characters where literally drawn on the spot to entice SJWbucks week by week.

You can cure 12 year old Muslims girls with your dick, anything older and its to late for them

Goddamnit. I only clicked that video embed because I thought it had something to do with Castles from Interplay.

HEY GUYS REMEMBER VIDEO GAMES

Too bad their father/uncle/cousin/brother raped their vagina when they turned 9.

...

What's worth watching this winter, I've had nothing since My Hero Academia stopped?

You wanna explain yourself?

He's easily among in my top 3 as far as designs go.

Do you know what my favorite part is with the Indivisble designs are?

For all their focus on "diversity", there is literally no fucks given toward the culture of any of the characters.

There's cool shit in nearly every culture on earth that they could've sold people on, but instead they went "hey, look how brown this guy is".

There are actually a lot more foreigners working in anime and alternative animation than you think.

Look up Bahi JD, Spencer Wan, Cedar Herole, Ben Li, and others. It's possible if you have a good enough portfolio and reach out for connections.

The sheriff looks like Waluigi, white ass non-colored whiteboy Waluigi?

So just Finnish? I don't get it.

Gintama.
no really it's good

amazing.

Nothing of what Okada writes is good.

Difrent lead. Alex ahad, the lead for skullgirls who knew how to deaign good silouhettes and color schemes I think left. Kiniku is a alright animator but not a good designer or still artist. If I were to put it into say cooking, she makes for a good sous chef, but never should be the head chef because she is garbage while in charge.

This. Endless this

But he said he likes My Hero Academia
Isn't that a gag anime too?

no, its a QUALITY animated shonen shit

Xrd's models weren't much cheaper or easier than sprites, Arcsys did them because models scale and if they need to be redone for whatever reason they don't have to start from scratch.

that's why i called it a gag anime user

jesus fuck why can't companies wait until they're actually done before they vore the production rights
why can't manga artists hold off on the sale

Yeah, Xrd's models actually scale beautifully up to 4k, it's a decent bit of future-proofing.

Is it ok for them to appropriate culture like that?

But wait…
THERE IS MORE!

...

aggressive*

I generally like the delicious brown but considering I like these design concepts more, lab zero failed

sure if they put bigger tits on her i could get behind it but as it is they just look like player 2 which always looks worse.

anyways, post lewds

Why?

Actually, the first two look better than the original, but not because of what you may think.

First one looks better because of contrast. While the original has a good degree of contrast between the upper clothing and her skin, her lower body and hair do not. I personally think the problem relies in the hair and not in the skirt, and could be solved by giving her some animu hair or even white/blonde hair. In this case, the contrast between orange and green is very hard, which is why the design looks livelier and prettier.

Second image actually doesn't look better because of the colors. In fact, it has some really bland colors since they decided to keep a dress designed for darker skin colors in a pale girl. However, they changed her moody face for a smiling one, which makes her look funnier and friendlier, which helps getting across a different message. It's kind of like that kids' book about people who managed to be pretty despite having an ugly face simply because of facial expression. I bet you could improve the original design quite a bit if you ported that version's face to the original.

Third one doesn't look better, that's just your Bizarro SJW self speaking. :^)

That said, I'm talking out of my ass since it all comes down to artstyle and the game's color palette. The original design could look pretty good on some pastel sky blue background, whereas the first redesign would just be an eyesore. Likewise, some "ugly" designs can look good if put together. A predominatingly black (as in, pure black, not nigger) may look good on top of a white background and vice versa, if your game is stylized. You can also get away with simple monochrome color schemes if you put one or two striking details in a different color, etc.

tl;dr dark skin is not the problem, it's pretty much the combination of everything else.

...

Bitch, please. I'm surprised they resisted the temptation to stick a native american in there too. Also, where's all the blasians, y'know a multi-ethnic group that *actually* will soon be commonplace due to china basically colonizing Africa? They're almost guaranteed to be the first native born Africans to go to space.

It's the shitty shadows that got removed.

this is pretty much exactly what i thought goldnharl would look like from the edgardo story

shows what you know. the first manned space rockets were monkeys

This looks terrible. The levels aren't designed to make the main character stand out, the camera sway and jiggly models (look at the fucking 0:28-0:35 segment; had this been the coma part of Hotline Miami all would have been well and even cool, but this isn't supposed to be trippy), and somehow they managed to fuck up Razmi. Also the combat system looks bland as fuck, and the movement of the characters in combat is all retarded since they keep bumping each other.

They went from Skullgirls to this. How can you fuck up this bad?

The one cool thing is the enemies being on the map, but they still removed the thing that gave VP depth, the fact that characters could move simultaneously, that would probably be way above the skill ceiling for these amateurs.

You don't seem to understand just how many niggers there actually are. The Chinese will be a drop in the bucket.

Anyway, all of those predictions died on November 8th. We are now in a new and uncharted future.

What irks me more than it should is that for all these talks about platforming, the platforming movement is surprisingly bland. Take a look at Muramasa Demon Blade. You'll spend a lot of time running around, but you'll see small details that make the running and jumping memorable. From a standing position to when they start running, you can see fluid movement. The characters will start moving their feet a bit slower at the start and then full sprint speed, and their bodies also lean a bit to the front like a Sonic/Naruto run. It's unrealistic, yes, but again, it shows a bit of progress between standing and running. Also, the females look back at the viewer when they run for a while. Maybe because you're oggling at them, or maybe because they're looking out for an enemy or treasure.
And when they jump and start falling, their bodies don't remain static, you'll see that their bodies move a bit while falling, as well as their clothing or equipment. Little details but at least don't look like a cardboard cutout falling to the ground.

Vee is involved with Mike Z again? Guess I'm avoiding this game now.

That's my favorite part of that shit, all of the characters are these fun niche ethnicities that are going to be extinct tomorrow but I'm sure the creator dislocated their arm patting themselves on the back, meanwhile there's 0.5 Chinese, zero Indians, and zero central Africans, half of the world's population left missing because the game is made by the same pack of clueless SanFran dipshits as every other MultiCulti Video Experience™. All of the lineages described in geographic terms while the very thing they're celebrating by making such a prominent deal out of the characters' lineages (they describe ancestry before profession or rank) is going to render it all meaningless long before the game's timeframe.

Chiggers are rarer than you might think. African women will marry Chinese men because they make good money compared to African men, but the Chinese sincerely believe that all dark-skinned people have AIDS and a Chinese man can't move home with his new black wife and children without getting disowned by his family (and she'd never be allowed to get citizenship anyway), and it's a rare man who would be willing to live the rest of his life in Uganda for a woman.

That looks really tedious rather than fun.

The 2D/3D work is almost like a shitty version of Tomba.

Race traitors need to be gassed.

Fun is a social construct.

Fuck I miss tomba.

I played the demo. It is tedious. The enemies take way too many hits to kill.

tabby really wants his dick

We wuz zombies

Spot the differences!

That fucking perspective shift.
Turn based combat feels unnecessary and out of place, as do the party members, only the main character looks alright.
Fuck, I almost like what I see, if only they'd make it play like a mix of pics related.

FUCK
the bottom one is supposed to be an Act 2 Town guard.

Touhou does this well.

The only designs that stand out are Razmi and Naga Rider on that list, the rest not so much. And what's with the attacks? They can't chain them together? I thought they had a chaining system before.

Egads, I can choke down bad character designs, but that 2D/3D mix looks absolutely disgusting. I don't think you can use sprites that big against 3D backgrounds without some kind of fixed-perspective straight projection.

Why did they blow so much effort on classic arcade-style 2D sprites, and then waste it on bitch-basic 3D backgrounds out of any random mobileshit game?

Stop being retarded. Pick any random female protag back to Jill of the Jungle, it's the easiest way to draw a recognizably female (long haired) character in the tiny 8-pixel-high sprites they had then.

Castles II was maximum comfy, excellent taste.

No wait, the sheriff is actually Van Peltl mixed with Waluigi
