I'm glad that they added Valentine because I like her design. Umbrella was probably just too similar to Parasoul in gameplay and they decided to leave her for later release. So far I like Painwheel since the begining and Valetine for my team but I will wait for the "Super" version of this game before to buy it :P
Yes, this was announced a while back. Squigly and Umbrella were cut due to the developers' lack of time, so we might not see them in the game before there's DLC. According to the developers, the two characters in question were too difficult to implement with the developers' current technology, so they're being replaced by Valentine and another character.
Squigly is the only one whose concept was too out there for them to make effectively before launch. They didn't really go into detail about why Umbrella couldn't make it, but I assume it had to do with a shortage of time.
Also, Valentine was already announced on Eurogamer and there are tons of screenshots on the net for her already. Just an FYI for those who don't know. She'll probably be shown on the SoCal regionals or shortly before(google SoCal regionals).
Squigly's going to be DLC. Be glad; they said her fighting style is too crazy for them to be able to implement at the moment. That means that when we do get her, she's gonna be awesome. :>
@lishakara hey im just getting into this game, it looks to be the most technical fighter out so far, i think painwheel and felia will be my mains bu i really like parasoul a lot too, i heard a rumor that they might include boys in this game i think that would be stupid , do u know anything about that, i cant wait for this game, the way mike z was talking it seems its coming out in january or early february no later than that.
@DSN107 Yeah, there will definitely be boys in this game, coming later as DLC. A few of them are already in the game as background NPCs (and some currently nonplayable background NPCs will likely be chosen as playable candidates).
The game is called Skullgirls because of the antagonist, not the playable characters themselves P:
And yeah, they keep saying "early 2012". A February release keeps sounding likely, but no definite dates yet...
@lishakara Hell I wouldn't be surprised if some of those character sketches at Alex Ahad's website are planned to be playable. I seem to recall there was a male character named Leduc who was posing with Painwheel. Wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't the first male character they thought of.
Unless that's fanart of a character from an existing game that I've never heard of until now. (I already made that mistake once with an image of Aegis over there)
@Falcovsleon21 Le Duc is official, no worries :> Apparently he uses electricity and bolt clamps as weapons if the old concept notes I read are still true. He's also a background NPC in the ASG Lab 8 stage, along with Big Band, the saxophone guy.
There's also one other male character design that keeps cropping up, a Canopy soldier named Panzerfaust who has a tank attached to his wrist. There's a rumor about a wrestler named Beowulf coming as early DLC, too. Too awesome? Maybe.
@lishakara Panzerfaust? I thought his name was Tank Punch. Guess that was a working name. Anyway, out of curiosity, mind telling me where you got this info?
I love to go internet diving, so I got my info from various sources. Shoryuken has a Skullgirls subforum, which has a whole lot of informative threads frequented by the devs. There's one devoted to the male characters, as well as a thread on the miscellaneous characters in the Skullgirls setting.
Also look for old beta pages, such as Skullgirls' old Livejournal page, which contains a lot of information on characters that will likely appear in the story as well.
@Falcovsleon21 Also! Dustloop's Skullgirls forum, like SRK, has some informative threads, and Giantbomb has a gallery that is stuffed full of most of the concept artwork for SG. Most of it is just sketches, but heck, the sketches are neat. I believe that Giantbomb has all of the old art compiled from Ahad's personal sites.
I think that's it. Do a little forum hunting, and most of this info shouldn't prove hard to find. Again, it's all concept, so don't put too much faith into it.
@lishakara Well I'd say at least some characters like Venus and that pirate zombie chick are more likely to be DLC since they at least have some attacks drawn out but I'll still keep that mind. Thanks for the advice though.
Because they have a large amount of characters planned, and making characters takes a lot of time. If you wanted all of the characters and features they had ideas for all at once at launch, you'd be looking at at least a 1.5 to 2 years delay. Each character so far has had at least 1200 frames of animation at the bare minimum, and that's only animation.
Squigly and Umbrella have been moved to early dlc characters, so Valentine and the maid chick (marie?) can be part of the eight characters at launch. That and they just don't have the time or funds to finish Squigly and Umbrella.
So the eight characters at launch will be Filia, Cerebella, Peacock, Parasoul, Ms. Fortune, Painwheel, Valentine, and the maid chick (Marie?)
@Grimmomega That depends. I don't think it's been established on whether the Skull Girl can live without the Skull Heart once it's turned someone into a Skull Girl or not. For all we know, Bloody Marie is a previous Skull Girl that had the Skull Heart, lost it, and now wants it back. (Kinda like Gollum w/ the One Ring)
That's my theory until they officially reveal her.
@Falcovsleon21 Could be, but I doubt it personally... if you find any concepts of her that show her from the back, there's a small face in between there where her bones are exposed. Combine that with the blue fire that comes off her back + the same look for the Skull Heart, and that's where I see an issue.
Who knows, though, you could still be onto something? It's probably not a terrific idea to put a lot of stock into concept art, as much of it appears to be obsolete nowadays...
Ok...the newest character caught me off guard. It's Valentine. I honestly thought she would be one of those DLC characters that they've casually mentioned here or there. She first shows up on a Valentine's Day deviation on Alex Ahad's deviant art.
@roflsteaksauce P: There are already male characters, there's Samson and all of Parasoul's backup soldiers. And even Peacock's cartoon characters if you want to count them.
If you look at the concept art, you'll see that this game was meant to have male characters from the start.
@Blueknightex There is no possible way this would be a cartoon unless it aired on something like Adult Swim. I mean, I think Ms. Fortune's whole fighting style pretty much should tell you why.
@dre81000 Because he doesn't like his creations getting compared to anime (He calls is Weeaboo shit) despite the numerous homages the character's make to certain game characters and references made (Like Fillia's victory pose where she's hung like a flag that was taken from FLCL)
@AsterBarnivere I saw him at AnimeExpo in a video showing off the game and he's mentioned Anime as a major influence on his style along with comic books and old American cartoons (Tex Avery's gals in particular). Where/when did he call Anime "Weeaboo shit" specifically. I could understand if he's getting ticked off that people are ignorant of his Western influences and blast his game for it but he should expect that, and I just don't see him saying "Weeaboo shit" outside of a few circumstances.
@Incathelizard The number of eyes on the parasol... The eyes/number of eyes on Peacock's arms... Their hairstyles/hair colors, heights, demeanors... Seriously, it's just begging to be elaborated on. If there's nothing related between the two then that's a HUGE coincidence.
And now I just saw Painwheel in action on Shoryuken. Also very different from what I expected, but at the same time she still keeps the same basic premise.
@ArbalestEmerald the same thing could also be said for Pain Wheel....her design is aweosme yes but is even more fucked than Squiggly..whether they are actual Skullgirls or not tho if they are they're probably the only ones playable
According to what has been posted at SRK, Painwheel's moves have super armor, and any damage she takes during duper armor goes to the overall damage of her move.
The only design i dont liek is umbrella, why do two people use umbrellas to fight? I also dont like anything about the design. If she a young girl she can be made to look alot cuter then that. I hope she gets revamped like mrs. fortune did. pain wheel and squidly look amazing. And i already love peacook.
Well, I just saw Ms. Fortune on the playstation blog. For one, her design was almost completely revamped, and it seems that this new design comes with some perks.
I won't ruin the surprise, but I also so the profile on the skullgirls website. Go check it out!
@GatlingSmash The website now has Ms Fortune as that guy or girl said before, and according to you these are all the characters, so we just need to wait for Umbrella, Painwheel and Squily
hey ms.fortune's official game design was just released on they're facebook page if u check the deviant art page of the alex ahad the creative director for the game (oh8) and check his sg gallery you'll find other characters like annie, a eyepatched sword wielding blue haired little girl with a rabbid (not to confussed with rabbids) bunny, Valentine a ninja nurse, venus a girl with the parasite ab-ddon coming from out from her side, and d.violet a teacher looking character
Funny enough the developers said that they got each of the ideas for the character play styles based on drawings that had nothin to do with fighting games (i.e filia goin to thhe store and cerebella in a on monkey bars or sumthin like that)
I think Painwheel's the coolest design, but I'll probably end up playing Peacock (the design is so retro it's fresh!) and Cerebella. M Fortune gives me the feeling she'll play a bit like Felicia. Just a hunch.
@OhRishtopher - Miss Fortune just got revealed on the playstation blog, and she looks different than she does here. Maybe Alex Ahad found out about this and revised the rest of the characters...check out the fighters generation website for more info.
@RiotEXE Thanks for the heads up man! Just checked her out but honestly, I like this design a lot more... Not a fan of the tons of fanservice (ironically lol) on the new model. Well, I guess I can look forward to seeing how the other characters have changed. That should be interesting.
And when you take into account that you can go up to 3 characters in a team, there might not be that much depth or variety in the end. I still have faith that they will make this game very interesting and fun to play -- most probably tournament viable as well. Hopefully we get those DLC characters!
@GatlingSmash Oh yes I forgot he said he kind of based it on marvel vs capcom 2 as well as other fighters, so the 3 characters per fight I think will add depth because you will have to figure out a good combination to use and how to use it. But yeah I want those DLC characters already..his characters have so much depth I just want more XD 8 So small... :C what if theres a dlc with 5 characters? :D XD
@GatlingSmash keep in mind, This is an Arcade/Indie game. The developers don't have a lot of money floating around, And it already looks insanely impressive. Give it some time.
@atmmachine11 Gotta think though. These animations are really crisp and smooth. But they are all hand drawn but a very small team. I wouldn't mind a small roster. Remember SF2? XD Modern Day gaming has spoiled us.
@JayDEchols ack! it has spoiled us -bows down- I apologize, I was just getting carried away with how awesome the hand drawn game is that I was wanting more and more that I did not realize this is an amazing set of characters each hand drawn with some awesome attacks and just amazing game overall. I apologize...
@Ansem665 Similar powers? What? They are nothing alike. The only similarities are the name and the fact that she uses a symbiotic parasite that kinda looks like hair to fight. But her moves and personality and the fact that Samson is an a character too make totally unique.
@Ansem665 Heavily inspired? Definitely. Straight cloned? No way. There are severe, artisitc, and applied differences between how each character uses their hair to attack. Plus, Samson just has so much character he could stand on his own badassitude.
Same here. The moment I heard Michiru Yamane's doing the music, my hype for this game and hearing the full soundtrack multiplied. Of course, many other things about the game are worthy of major hype as well (Peacock's references are great)!
It's a step up from most anime-style artists. Instead of everyone having the same face, these characters have 2 same faces to choose from! Either wide-eyed or droopy-eyed!
Major props for your FrankenFran avatar, love the series! Peacock fits my playstyle the most, as I'm usually one for zoning and gimmicks. The other character type I like is the exact opposite, raw power, which Cerebella perfectly represents.
Squigly could be really interesting. I wonder if here skeletal snake makes for ranged attacks?
@GatlingSmash I believe that Squiggly will play like Dalsime just a thought. As for my though for Parasol she already is in the build with a poking / trap style. I have a big bet that Miss Fortune will be a Chip Zaniff player and also I recall their is another girl with a split torso type of thing so I can see someone with a fighting style like Carl Clover. The only one I have no idea would work would be Umbrella she might me a trap charicter or could be something like Bridget or something
I hope they still find a way to add Umbrella and Squigly to the roster. I like their designs and really want to see their play style.

Well, I just saw Ms. Fortune on the playstation blog. For one, her design was almost completely revamped, and it seems that this new design comes with some perks.
I won't ruin the surprise, but I also so the profile on the skullgirls website. Go check it out!

Saw it, she's looking really polished! Now to wait for gameplay videos...
GatlingSmash 5 months ago
@GatlingSmash The website now has Ms Fortune as that guy or girl said before, and according to you these are all the characters, so we just need to wait for Umbrella, Painwheel and Squily

@Bleachlover01 Aww, I liked the original design so much more. I hope it makes it into the game as an alternate costume at least.

Funny enough the developers said that they got each of the ideas for the character play styles based on drawings that had nothin to do with fighting games (i.e filia goin to thhe store and cerebella in a on monkey bars or sumthin like that)

I decided that my main character is gonna be Cerebella. I'll also try out Filia, Peacock & M. Fortune when this game comes out on Xbox Live Arcade.

@nianicole824 They are. Before the official site took all the character art and backstory down that was part of it.

I'm gonna wait for M Fortune, but I think I've decided that my favourite is Peacock. The other character designs don't do much for me.
OhRishtopher 6 months ago
@OhRishtopher
I think Painwheel's the coolest design, but I'll probably end up playing Peacock (the design is so retro it's fresh!) and Cerebella. M Fortune gives me the feeling she'll play a bit like Felicia. Just a hunch.
GatlingSmash 6 months ago
@OhRishtopher - Miss Fortune just got revealed on the playstation blog, and she looks different than she does here. Maybe Alex Ahad found out about this and revised the rest of the characters...check out the fighters generation website for more info.
RiotEXE 5 months ago
@RiotEXE Thanks for the heads up man! Just checked her out but honestly, I like this design a lot more... Not a fan of the tons of fanservice (ironically lol) on the new model. Well, I guess I can look forward to seeing how the other characters have changed. That should be interesting.

hey gatlingsmash! is this song actually from the game? and my other question is there any more leaked characters since this video?
atmmachine11 6 months ago
@atmmachine11
Yep, it's from the game, as I mentioned in the "credits".
As for more characters, these are supposedly all that will be available at release, but there have been rumors of DLC characters going around!
GatlingSmash 6 months ago
@GatlingSmash wow... only a 8 character roster.. thats kind of small in my eyes... well that sucks XD
atmmachine11 6 months ago
@atmmachine11
And when you take into account that you can go up to 3 characters in a team, there might not be that much depth or variety in the end. I still have faith that they will make this game very interesting and fun to play -- most probably tournament viable as well. Hopefully we get those DLC characters!
GatlingSmash 6 months ago
@GatlingSmash Oh yes I forgot he said he kind of based it on marvel vs capcom 2 as well as other fighters, so the 3 characters per fight I think will add depth because you will have to figure out a good combination to use and how to use it. But yeah I want those DLC characters already..his characters have so much depth I just want more XD 8 So small... :C what if theres a dlc with 5 characters? :D XD
atmmachine11 6 months ago
@GatlingSmash keep in mind, This is an Arcade/Indie game. The developers don't have a lot of money floating around, And it already looks insanely impressive. Give it some time.
jamesiscookie 6 months ago
@atmmachine11 Gotta think though. These animations are really crisp and smooth. But they are all hand drawn but a very small team. I wouldn't mind a small roster. Remember SF2? XD Modern Day gaming has spoiled us.

@JayDEchols ack! it has spoiled us -bows down- I apologize, I was just getting carried away with how awesome the hand drawn game is that I was wanting more and more that I did not realize this is an amazing set of characters each hand drawn with some awesome attacks and just amazing game overall. I apologize...

@Ansem665 Similar powers? What? They are nothing alike. The only similarities are the name and the fact that she uses a symbiotic parasite that kinda looks like hair to fight. But her moves and personality and the fact that Samson is an a character too make totally unique.
Spectrality 6 months ago
@Ansem665 Heavily inspired? Definitely. Straight cloned? No way. There are severe, artisitc, and applied differences between how each character uses their hair to attack. Plus, Samson just has so much character he could stand on his own badassitude.

Same here. The moment I heard Michiru Yamane's doing the music, my hype for this game and hearing the full soundtrack multiplied. Of course, many other things about the game are worthy of major hype as well (Peacock's references are great)!

It's a step up from most anime-style artists. Instead of everyone having the same face, these characters have 2 same faces to choose from! Either wide-eyed or droopy-eyed!

LastoftheGeeks 7 months ago
@LastoftheGeeks
Major props for your FrankenFran avatar, love the series! Peacock fits my playstyle the most, as I'm usually one for zoning and gimmicks. The other character type I like is the exact opposite, raw power, which Cerebella perfectly represents.
Squigly could be really interesting. I wonder if here skeletal snake makes for ranged attacks?
GatlingSmash 7 months ago
@GatlingSmash I believe that Squiggly will play like Dalsime just a thought. As for my though for Parasol she already is in the build with a poking / trap style. I have a big bet that Miss Fortune will be a Chip Zaniff player and also I recall their is another girl with a split torso type of thing so I can see someone with a fighting style like Carl Clover. The only one I have no idea would work would be Umbrella she might me a trap charicter or could be something like Bridget or something
