It's time to duel! Skullgirls vs Dustforce.

Hello friends. Inuyuru again, with a NARB segment I like to call "It's time to duel" where I take two games with a similar theme and make them duke it out to see who is top dawg. Today I've chosen two games very close to my heart, Skullgirls and Dustforce, both PC games you can find on our dark lord and master, Steam. Now I know what you're thinking: Inuyuru, what does Skullcaps and Triforce have to do with eachother? And who will come out on top? And why do you always do that thing where you come up with a funny variation of the games' actual title? Well to answer your questions in this order:

1)Skillgals and Dustbunny are both games that breath a breathe of fresh air into video games, what with them both relying heavily on skill and fast reflexes, partaining to cognitive thought, 2) you'll have to piece together what info I give you and read til the end, unless you have other well thought out opinions, in which case I'd love to hear them, and 3) because using petty humor in a blog about video games helps me overcome my depression and crushing boredom that comes with the monotony of life. Plus I'm hilarious, so shut up.

Skull and bones is a fighting game with tits. Lots of tits. Underage tits even. But it's a fighting game, trust me. It's similar to the MvC series altough you can choose how many people you have on your team, and adjust teams accordingly, and every character plays differently, with different powers, different back stories, and different bust sizes. (Ok I'll stop with the boob jokes now) You can learn each characters powers and abilititties (Ok for real this time) and make teams matching up with something or another. It's pretty fast and flowing and intuitive and some characters are very very funny. It breathes new life into an otherwise dead genre of fighing games, by bringing back the feel of MvC2 or Street Figther 3 third strike, aka, the BEST STREET FIGHTER.

Dustforce is an action game about janitors cleaning up messes using the power of vacuum cleaners and parkour. So as you can guess, there are significantly less bewbs, but what it lacks in breasts, it makes up for in fun. You can choose between 4 janitors: Blue, the balanced straightman, Red, who has a better vertical leap, and is therefore black by default, Violet, for when you want to give up jumping power for speed, both the leg movement and the drug, and Green, the heavy and where this analogy kind of breaks down. The gameplay is so fucking great that if it were a beautiful woman, I would marry it and it's sister. It's a flowing parkour esuque feel, using momentum and speed build up to your advantage, avoiding traps. I'd run up the side of a building, jump on to the roof of another and slide down a pipe right into a monsters ass, and landing on a dime, feeling like Tony Hawk with wings on his penis.

So which wins? While I recommend both if you're white enough to do that, honky, if you absolutely have to buy one, pick Dustclouds. Skullgirls is a game that's fantastic in a sense that it adds on to something that you like, sort of like a Red Velvet cake, if someone put layers of German chocolate on top. Dustforce is a supermodel wearing German chocolate cakes, as a bra, while she herself, is made out of German chocolate cakes. Dustforce takes home the trophy because, while Skulkgills adds something fresh to the fighting game genre, Dusty boots adds something to video games all together, and that will, and should, always warrant more respect.
