Is it still worth to get into this game?
I played ranked as a newer player, got absolutely destroyed by the guy that looked like a veteren. Then the vetern kinda got the hint that I was a newer player and just left after beating my ass in round 1. :steamsalty: I felt bad both for myself and my opponent because I felt like I wasted his match making time by not being a challenging opponent. Maybe I shouldn't play mechanics heavy games like these and stick to games like Yugioh Masterduel where its all brains and zero mechanics. :steamsad:

As a general rule, don't feel bad for wasting other people's time. If they want to play with you, they'll rematch. If they don't, they'll move on. You need not bear any responsibility for their play experience. In those rare instances where I'm matched against someone less skilled then me, I usually use those opportunities to try trickier mix-ups or combos I've been practicing but haven't yet nailed, so the experience is far from boring for me.

As for your feelings, getting into a late stage fighting game can be hard, as the people who still play the game have been doing so for a while and are likely just better players then you are right now. What I recommend is not focusing on winning matches right now, but instead just focusing on getting better and allowing yourself to feel good when you make little achievements, such as nailing a combo you've been practicing or blocking a mix-up that's been getting you.

Look up "Skullgirls Beginnners Guides" on Youtube and you'll no doubt find a plethora of resources to help you get your footing. You could also look up character specific guides once you've settled on a team that might help ground you.

Not in the slightest.

Aside from being censored to irrelevancy, all development efforts go into the mobile game. Can't even recommend any of the single player story as the original creators are long gone and what we have here is empty even by fanservice game standards.

But that's the Skullgirls curse for ya. Shouldn't have censored those panty shots a decade ago.
If I see that my opponent is very obviously a beginner, I'll wait on the rematch screen to see what they'll do. If they click rematch, I'm happy to rematch 'em.

You know what would've helped you as a new player? If there was a proper ranking/matchmaking system. Alas, it seems that the "devs" had other priorities in mind. :steamfacepalm:
Actually, the game tracks TrueSkill behind the scenes. There just isn't enough of a queue population to match based on it, it will briefly attempt to find a good match before widening its search parameters to find just any match.

The game is still worth getting into. I would suggest joining Get Gr8 (linked under the community section on the wiki) and Handy Dandy House of Candy if you want to find people closer to your skill level.

People only played this game because they were nostalgic over mvc2 back in the day.
And now everyone can play mvc2 again on any platform. so what's the point getting this?

While SG is inspired by MvC2, it has a lot more unique attributes to set it apart. A much more balanced roster, variable team sizes, custom assists, no infinites, a heavy emphasis on resets, six buttons, etc.

I don't like to use one game to put down another, but I have no interest in going back to MvC2. Actually, the game just makes me feel like I'd rather be playing SG.

Also MVC2 isn´t censored.

balance/mechanically speaking mvc2 isn't anywhere near as good as sg but no one really turns on marvel for those things.

2 very different games tbh. MvC3 was already around when SG was big
