Skullgirls Thread

Maybe it's just me, but I swear, BB's Brass Knuckles are almost too good - it's probably one of the best assists in the game.

Spamming that and teleport spamming around Marie pretty much guarantees victory in the story mode, too.

I think Mike set that up on purpose. Peacock/Brass Knuckle is awesome to help with keepaway.

Good new, everyone! Big Band may not be on the PS 3 version of the PS Store right now, but he is on the web browser version! Get him while he's hot!

The joke at the end was perfect.

Maybe I just kind of suck, but the last battle was quite difficult for me. I didn't think of teleport spamming in addition to Assist spam, though.

And yeah, pretty great story. Possible Good End for Painwheel is always a treat. Sad to see Avian die again, though.

Yeah, I think we can safely assume that Avian's being Killed Off for Real.

Da heck did I just watch?

I just got beat by a big band that played the first few notes of You Wa Shock before Satchmo Solo.

This is greatest fighting game that will ever exist.

There is someone out there that just managed to pull off Beyonce's Single Ladies online.

It was wonderful.

Hey guys, gonna need some help here.

I've downloaded Big Band on Steam but he isn't showing up in-game. The store says I've already downloaded him but in-game his portrait is still gray and I can't select him, I just get a "Downloadable Content Available!" message.

Help?

Okay update: He's not available in the main game, but it seems he's full and complete in the Endless Beta.

I had that problem last night. It got patched though and I got to use him. Try exiting out and waiting for it to update.

It seems to start updating something, but it stops immediately as soon as it starts.

Hmmm...

*Playing Arcade mode*
*Faces Solo Filia, 3 times in a row*

Uncanny! It's like I'm actually playing online!

Anyone who has Steam and has been thinking about getting this game, now would be the time — Skullgirls is a Daily Deal.

Solo Fukua is the way to go.

One thing I really like about Big Band's story is how much attention was given to the ASG side characters who didn't make it through the polls. Getting dialogue with Hive, Ileum, Leduc, Stanley, and Brain Drain was cool.

Also, good lord, Brass Knuckles assist is amazing in Peacock's hands.

Heavy Giant Step is probably gonna be a useful assist for select characters, as well, what with its unblockableness when used at range.

Kind of upset we didn't get anything concerning Big Band and Squiggly, though. I'm not sure if it's in the final game or not, but he calls her by name and has a unique tag in line for her, so there's some kind of familiarity there.

He probably heard her sing once.

He probably investigated her and her family's murder at the hands of the Medici as well.

SG is 50% off on Steam Today. If you don't have it yet, here's a chance to get it for 7.49

Actually, I think we my have gotten a piece of the puzzle. Recall the gang of skull-masked bunny-outfit people he arrested in his flashback. If I'm not mistaken, that's the same gang that Black Dahlia led to kill Squigly and her family.

He probably wasn't at the event itself, but it appears he tried to track down her murderer.

Been a while since these were shown: Eliza hitstun animations.

Getting serious Darkstalkers vibes.

Kinda afraid that they are pushing the envelope too much, here.

Doesn't Ms. Fortune make a yarn ball out of her intestines?

Nope. he uses the muscles of her limbs to do that.
