This game is giving alot more trouble than SFxT or KOFXIII. This stuff people do continueing on the ground after an air combo (with no OTG), I cant figure out. I think its because there is no clear feedback of what im doing wrong, if my first medium punch in the air is too early it might mean I can't hit him again when im back on the floor, even though that was 4 moves earlier.
As far as I understand it, any air attack that isn't a knockdown attack should cause the opponent to land standing with 1 frame of hitstun that you can continue the combo from. If the air attack is too early and the gap is too large between it and the ground combo, the combo will drop. If opponent hits the ground first from the knockdown attack before being air hit again, they will either be OTGable (pink circle) and air attacks will OTG or if a OTG was already done (blue circle) a techable knockdown. Of note: There is no hit stun deterioration or increasing gravity in the game.
Not having proper dummy controls makes practising combos a little trickier than usual

Would like to know what knockdowns I can tech and what is the input of quickrise/roll and how to break "infinite" combo.
When knocked down, hold ← or → and press any button = Ground recovery
I'm not totally sure, but I believe you can press any button when you turn pink to do a Combo Breaker.
I think it was on the Clash stream, but according to a day 2 tourney, it's 2 punches to break an infinite. The game basicially looks to see if a string of normal attacks happens in "x" iterations. Don't quote me, but I believe it's after 2 iterations, the third will trigger the Infinite Prevention System.
Other doodads that I didn't see on the site but are useful: Pushblocking is just like in Marvel, you can Alpha Counter by pressing forward + tag combination (MP+MK or HP+HK), you can DHC two level 3 Blockbusters. If you have 5 meters and perform a level 3 super, DHCing into another level 3 will work, despite having only 2 meters.
That's not how IPS works. If you use the same normal to start a chain, IPS will immediately activate. Therefore, a combo like lp-mp-hp, lp-mk-hk would trigger it because lp starts two chains, but lp-mp-hp lk-mp-hp would not. This makes it so that you eventually run out of buttons to start chains in order to continue your combo, causing your combo to end naturally.

Figured out a new peacock combo, inspired by Cable
Now to find a way to link 3 supers...
Figured it out!
AHVBx3 yessssssssssssssssssssssssss
testing it on more characters, looks like it only works on ones with wide hitboxes like double. Dang =(
edit: Just noticed when Peacock does her st.hk, the football kick, she says "Laces out." It's like they made this character just to reflect every movie and tv show I watched as a kid o-o

Hmm, then I encountered something weird. I've had IPS kick in just by hitting a launcher, LK, and repeated d+MK with Parasoul. Unless, each d+MK counts as the start of a new chain

No it's actually both. Your first two chains (or maybe just moves) are "free" and don't count toward IPS, apparently, so you were correct. I had been hearing conflicting information on the matter.

Fighting game skills not necessary or relevant.
Yes, because the non-playable last boss is very necessary and relevant to a competitive fighting game.
Exactly, why do you think so many people dislike Marvel3? That stupid single player boss!
I know a lot of other reasons why ppl dislike mvc3 but w/e....
Only got to touch this once, but it does seem really fun. I find myself finding more enjoyment jsut watching this game. Kind of wished this was at EVO. Really surprised at the freedom and craziness of this game.

Each d.MK is a new chain.
Try watching the Combo Stage in training mode and it might help it make more sense. You get a bunch of free things until you get into Combo Stage 5 where IPS starts and you can't reuse buttons.
From MikeZ on SRK: "Combo Stage" in the info box is useful for all this, btw. 1 = (optional) jump-in section (free) 2 = ground series (free) 3 = first air combo or 2nd ground series (watched) 4 = special case if they land before you do (watched) 5 = limited (watched, and if you start a chain with something you hit with at all during a watched section = infinite)
From Skullgirls twitter: #Skullgirls finally has a confirmed European / Australian release date on PSN - May 2nd, just a week away! Sorry to have kept you waiting!

I definitely don't understand the ranking system at this point. Yesterday I'm mashing on some ranked, check my spot, ranked 14. cool. Keep playing, keep the winning streak going, check back to see if it's gone up at all, rank 25. Odd. Guess other people were grinding it out too at that time, ok, makes sense. Today, check rank, still 26. I start playing a bit when I should be studying, win a few matches, then lose one. Think "Dang, wonder how many spots back that'll put me." Check rank, rank 3.
Hey guys, I just got this game and it seems to be glitching out on me...
During the last part of the first tutorial session, where you have to throw out enemies the goal is for you to throw them out in the way to put Peacock and Ms. Fortune into play. My problem is that when I throw out Painwheel (first char on stage) Ms. Fortune comes in, then Painwheel and so on. Peacock never enters the stage...
Is there some trick to it or what? Please help.
Edit: NVM, I skipped the introductory text twice where they show that you have 2 different moves for ring out...

KOF XIII is rumored for a PC Steam Release. That is kind of on the borderline for playing multiple chars though
