Switch should be more than capable of handling Skullgirls at 60 fps. I question if it'll be 1080p while docked though. As long as it's native res undocked, thats fine by me.

Sf anniversary taught me to never buy another fighting game again for switch due to the bad controller but good for those that can handle it.

Awesome news. I just started playing switch again and forgot how amazing of a platform it is. I rarely play the PC/PS4 versions of this game but would love it on handheld.

I figured this would.
Think I ordered the Vita game before Switch was even announced though.

I own this game on every other system it got ported to. Not sure why I'd stop now.

Skullgirls is such a great game.

This game is a masterpiece. Even if you are the kind of person that finds fighting games mechanically overwhelming I suggest checking it out, especially if you can get at least one friend to join you.

Arena fighter with most of the actual fighting done on a 2D plane.

Less reliance on special motions (which are hell on single joycons) and just translate better on a pad (at least from my experiences with SC and DOA).
Gotcha. Personally, I think the d-pad buttons on the joycons and the d-pad of the pro controller are really bad, so I just use my arcade stick with an adapter on Switch.

How many copies do I have to buy to get Umbrella, Annie, and Venus in the game?

The Joy-Con's analog stick is actually pretty decent for fighters due to its limited travel range, allowing you to snap directions quicker than on a typical analog stick.

Alpha1 was before SF1, Alpha 2 was after.

So it is not like being called Alpha means anything except more anime style =P
It can be before 5 but ater 3
But SFV is before SFIII (it's 1 -> Alpha -> 2 -> 4 -> 5 -> 3).

On-topic, I might have to buy an arcade stick adapter at this rate.

I've been saying for quite some time now that Namco should really rerelease Tekken Tag 2 on the Switch with all the Wii U exclusive content, as it's a shame to have such a wonderful version of the game stuck on a platform that didn't do too well. It may not be the newest 3D fighter, but it's better than nothing. I wonder if it'd sell pretty well on Switch if it was the first "true" 3D fighter on the platform? I don't think it'd do too badly, and the install base is definitely there.

This would be great.

Just bought this from fanatical for $2 lol. I'm pretty selective on fighting games, but if I end up traveling more, I might as well pick this up for more Switch gaming time

Caught me off guard! *sigh* time to save up money and help support one of my favorite games.

To be honest I dont know why im surprised this is running on the switch when they have indivisble coming on the same console, it being run on the same engine.

I've mentioned this before, but I do believe the Joy-Con multiplayer features are what's attracting fighting games to the Switch. A console that comes with 2 controllers that can be shared with a friend, and can be propped up with a kickstand anytime, anywhere calls back to the genre's arcade roots. I actually think the Switch can bring the genre back to mainstream relevancy because of this.

Skullgirls, Ultra Street Fighter II, a ton of SNK fighting classics, Street Fighter Collection, Pocket Rumble, BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, SNK Heroines.

After all of these fighting games and probably plenty more in the switches lifetime and Nintendo is still sitting on their ass about making a left joycon with a proper D-Pad. Like this is just embarrassing that the first Nintendo console in years to have substantial support for fighting games has the worst "D-pad" in Nintendo history. Just sell it for like $30 and people will eat it up, I know I will. And make it as good as the Wii U Pro Controller DPAD as well.

I just think that the Switch is a Vita 2.0 that's why the Switch is getting all these ports. Vita had an insane amount of good fighters...
