Skullgirls Party (Rough Draft Trailer)

So anyway, I'm highly interested in the progress of the XBL/PSN fighter Skullgirls as it approaches opening day, but I was irritated by the inappropriateness of the music Konami's advertising people slapped on the original trailer -- as the developers themselves have pointed out, it wasn't exactly era-appropriate and didn't fit in with the subsequent trailers which included actual music from the game.

So what I did here was take footage from the launch trailer, pad it out with more recent clips, and add in some music that I thought was, in fact, TERRIBLY appropriate for the retro Dark Deco setting of the game. I might have put a little more effort into it, but since I don't actually work for the company, what would be the point?

While it does fit the image of the game it doesn't quite fit the feel of the trailer. It makes it seem more comedic than action-oriented. I do like it though - make no mistake - but I already know about the game's style.

Maybe a Jazz piece with a little more "flair" or "spice" would fit better? Just trying some constructive criticism.

Thanks for the upload.

@xjxm Sure. Your words are much appreciated, although I really don't see how portraying this game as slightly comedic (as opposed to action-oriented) really hurts it. When I heard this tune I IMMEDIATELY thought Skullgirls; it had a kind of dark, ominous yet slightly wacky vibe -- and judging by everything the developers on this game have said & done, that seems to be exactly what they're aiming for... sort of farcical, creepy, and thirties/forties retro all at the same time.

Nice work, love the music. I've already shown this 'trailer' to a couple of friends; it worked! They're now intrigued.
