ST is under review.... I wonder what the deal is. I hope they figure it out soon
The rumor is someone who donated 7K said they would call CC fraud if ST lost. The reality is I don't know for certain. Also I think it's admirable to warn donators but also kind of... wrong. I mean they had all this time to donate for ST and if he's basically saying "don't donate, you may waste your donation."

I mean stick with your crap through thick and thin. The money is going to charity. But whatever.

I dont care what it is, you dont just abandon the game you dedicated yourself to out of fear/hate

If SkullGirls is going to lose, At least Im going down with it like a true fan.

Also I do not know if this is true, ive only heard this.

Lol, that was for Melee dude and it was a faked/shopped screenshot. Someone's intentionally switching it to ST now as a troll LOL.
It would not surprise me at all if it was misinformation spread around on purpose, but the tweet about ST being under review is real.

wait so basically, theyre taking back their donation if ST loses?


if this true, itll be so damn funny to rub it in peoples faces when they talked about how those 3 random smashboards dudes were talking about retracting their donations if melee doesnt win when they didnt even donate

It's just rumor, please take it with a grain of salt.

And yes, SRK is down for me at the moment.

My internet connection's down and I can't send paypal money from my phone. I'd be eternally grateful if someone could donate $100 for me (preferably during the drive) and PM me their receipt and paypal address. I'll send the money first thing tomorrow.
Redact hasn't replied to my pm yet and I want to make sure I can donate in time.


Also, BrandX is a ****ing champ.

Guys like gea said don't automatically believe everything you read. The tweet was photoshopped, at one point it was said to be from a smasher, does anyone know that guy? Probably a big troll.

BrandX you wanna join the melee community? We're cool peeps and you already racked up almost 400 posts this month.
Haha thanks for the offer. I'm more of a P:M player, so I wouldnt really fit in lol. Doesnt mean I cant stop by the melee forum to say hi though. The most part though, youll see me on the P:M forums or the skullgirls topic in thr lighthouse section.

This doesn't look very Photoshopped to me. I have no idea what they're investigating ST for, but they definitely are investigating it.

The latest tweet about ST being investigated is legit.

But on the topic of Photoshopping things...

We're doing great; no need to be speculating/suspecting donations are fraudulent for others in the running.

I say do it now. No reason to wait if you may not be able to later.

I don't get it. Pm-melee skills are transferable. Melee prolly has a scene near your house where you can push SG on people lol but whatever enjoy it if you like it

Guys I know this sounds really silly, and I may get weird looks from my own community, but this is my last wish just incase ST continues and skullgirls cant...

Blow that mother****ing dinosaur back to the stone age...

Lol

Edit: Its not really from a gameplay point, but more of a cosmetic point. I think P:M looks nicer.

In the end, if skullgirls, melee or super turbo wins, we can say that at least some communities got a little closer to each other.

We all want the same thing, means we aren't really that much different.

A lot of community leaders lost their hair and beards too (read that Mike Z's going to shave his for the 30k mark).

Our cause to clean up their public images is a righteous one.

I can say that if Skullgirls can at least get second, we at least proved we could take down a legend like ST. Thats what I want.
