    In SVC anyway, the lifebar was that way for mechanics -- you could only perform Exceed supers you have half life (i.e. only a red life bar).

    That'd make sense. Looking at the comment, the health bar feature was added in the hack, and I didn't know about the hack until I just googled "double health bar". haha

    Anyway, found the one that I was probably remembering. Used to put a lot of time into SVC Chaos when it came out, (road trips for machines until one was finally put in my town, and then eventually on XBOX Live). I assumed it was pretty normal fare (I barely touched anything more mainstream than that), so just assumption alone. Now, as for the first? I don't know. But. the amount of time I put into Chaos probably means it's what I was thinking of.

    The later Samurai Shodown games as well as The Last Blade games had that curious double life bar, and both significantly predate SvC.

    But there may be a yet earlier example I have forgotten...

    ... now that I think about it, Real Bout Fatal Fury (1995) had the doubled life bars, and it predates SamSho' first use of it and the first Last Blade game. Is there one even earlier than that?

    That'd probably explain why I thought it was common, as I played almost exclusively SNK titles.

    Locals have basically been only sfv and gg, but it turns out theres a bunch of guys around here that love skullgirls

    The last time I played it, they were getting ready to release the first dlc char, however long ago that was

    So we ran a tournament last night and I entered basically to eat up a bye and wound up getting 2nd

    The moral of the story is most die-hard skullgirls fans are really really bad at it

    Wasn't nothing humble about that brag, I did crazy well at a game that I haven't played in a zillion years using a character I've never seen before

    That is a not humble brag, I am flat boasting because it felt real good

    Gargos is out today in KI. I do not look forward to playing good Gargos players.

    @templewulf I'll have him for White Belts this weekend, assuming I can make it. (I should be able to)

    Thank you!

    I didn't expect to like him, but the videos are pretty convincing. I hope he's easier to come to grips with than zato-1.

    I did like the guy that spent $220 on Gargos in the auction tournament and lost first round though

    So during Skull Girls one of the guys said "SF5 setups", and someone ran up mid commentary and told him not to mention SF5...was that a Capcom guy or someone else? Because that's just stupid. Especially mid stream, when everyone can hear you saying it.

    I caught part of the Killer Instict stream earlier and noticed that they were using the latest patch (because Gargos was on the character select screen).

    But that patch just got released yesterday afternoon. Don't tournaments usually avoid having the gameplay tweaked that close to a tournament? Or is KI turn-out so low they figured nobody would care?

    They originally announced the pre gargos patch but auto internet updates forced upgrafe on their systems. I think they just said fuck it and only banned gargos.

    Big part of the stream schedule is that the main stream station lost power for about an hour - 90 minutes, when they were supposed to be streaming SF5, so not as much time got devoted to that compared to skullgirls

    But I don't know anything about going straight to top 8

    Also dang those skullgirls people get rowdy

    Thought I wasn't going cause someone cancelled last minute but ended up going anyway.

    Got to mess around with T7 a bit but the casual stations are packed for the most part.

    Nice pool though. Might try to get in it.

    well i've kept checking all the streams but after SK top 16 started it was only that, KI and tekken left on 3 streams. The rest went offline.

    bgcallisto has top 64 to top 8.

    Also, it kind of sucks not having SFV in the main stream, but yeah, Combo Breaker had a shitload of entrants in a bunch of games, way above the norm, and I love that they're willing to shed on light on atypical games. Vampire Savior+Skullgirls top 8 having a slot in the Sunday main stream is fucking great.
