Skullgirls Thread

Loving the brain-wyrm girl and the one with the giant fan blade and creepy mask. Here's hoping they make it into the final game. Nightmare Fuelicious!

Also Token Loli. Gotta love those old anime cliches.

Looks like they're saving the more interesting designs for last.

And going by the shadow, the messed up thing could turn out to be some sort of souped up mirror boss.

Or Fillia with all her memories back.

I wonder if the loli is Parasoul's little sister or something? So far Parasoul and Cerebella are my favorites, although Cerebella seems...low tier. Peacock looks like a dreadful match-up for her.

Yeah, thats Umbrella. The wyrm-girl is named Squigly. The one girl with the bladed wheel is Painwheel.

The abomination-thingy is called Double. Ninja nurse is Valentine. The maid, who briefly shows up in the trailer is Marie, the current Skullgirl.

You can find a bunch of concept art on o_8's Livejournal or on Giant Bomb

Game Trailers gets an exclusive Miss Fortune preview.

That...thing...appears to be a twisted mash up of most (if not all) of the girls.

I can see bits of everyone except Painwheel, Valentine, and Marie...

One of my few regrets about being born female is the inability to grow a handlebar mustache. -Landstander

Fortune is gross. I love her.

I really like how she looks and emotes. My favourite Skullgirl design so far, together with Peacock. Plus running around and attacking stuff with your own severed head is hilarious.

Has a compulsive editing and re-editing disorder.

Vid ain't showing for me, what gives?

In fact, none of Gametrailers' vids are. That's weird.

GT actually put four videos up, two with Alex Ahad and Mike Z(talking about the game in general) and two with Mike Z solo (detailing Miss Fortune and Parasoul's movesets).

If you're having trouble viewing, switch to standard definition. Game Trailers' HD setting actually runs these videos at a full 60 FPS.

It is at standard, none of their vids are showing up for me at all.

I'll just wait for it to be uploaded to YT, which it should be tomorrow if not sooner.

The proposed male character designs look cool as hell. I don't have a link handy tho...

Youtube link.

Darn it! What am I paying you for?

Thanks for the link! Ms Fortune looks neat. But I still like Parasoul and Cerebella more.

We can do this joke...

"I'm not paying you to post tantalizing info with no pics to back it up!"

"You're not paying me anything!"

"That's what I just said!"

Do we have a trope for that?

Anyway, found a pic... WARNING: EXTREMELY AWESOME◊

The saxophone guy HAS to happen. And that dude has a tank on his arm.

This game just keeps piling on more and more layers of Crazy Awesome every time I look away.

Hopefully not. Epic Sax Guy would have to be an SNK Boss and that's another trend I'd like to see this game break.

I don't mind SNK Boss because if they are obviously meant to be the strongest character in the game story wise, they should be able to back it up.

Watch Symphogear

Anyone notice that When Miss Fortune wins while headless, her head pulls a "TAKE IT EASY!" face during the victory pose?

A good writer puts in a lot of details in there story. But a great one gets a story from a single detail.

Because of his size? No way. You can't make any judgments from one picture of the guy.

Anyway, from what I remember, the male characters will be DLC, but I don't think it's been nailed down who it/they will be.

No, because he is so EPIC just for being a Sax Guy (sorry Tank-Arm, maybe you'll have better luck in a different game) that any play mechanics that would do him justice would make him drastically overpowered.

Oops sorry. That actually does make sense. In fairness the dude does seem to fight w/o his arms.
