but the lead animator is a woman
[quote=Eurogamer]Skullgirls artist Alex Ahad has responded to the controversy surrounding his art style - and distanced himself and the development team from comments made to Eurogamer on the subject by designer and community manager at Reverge Peter Bartholow.
Bartholow said those who accused all-girl fighting game Skullgirls of being sexist displayed "misplaced and shallow chivalry".
Some critics have labelled Skullgirls' art style gimmicky and dismissed it as anime fan service because of the inclusion of "panty flashes" and huge breasts.
"Our lead animator is a woman," Bartholow told Eurogamer. "She intentionally lavishes attention on the breasts herself because she thinks it's cool. All the people who seem bothered by it are guys. It's a weird chivalry intent thing that's sort of misplaced and maybe shallow, even, because they see breasts and panty flashes and they go, that's sexist, but I've yet to meet a woman who has complained about it. They're over-thinking it. [/quote]

I'm not really into fighters but I played this for like a half hour and had a lot of fun with it.

But a good chunk of the art staff is females
[QUOTE=xxfalconxx;42869755]so, after a day of playing skullgirls, I can conclude that I am, in fact, pretty bad at skullgirls.
it's a refreshing kind of bad though. the game discourages you from button mashing by teaching you advanced combos. unfortunately I have a horrible memory, so I wound up mashing buttons anyways. still, it's pretty fun.[/QUOTE]
Everyone starts out bad, you just stop sucking over time.

Surprisingly, there's little Waifu material.
