I like how every character in Skullgirls has at least 2 big design traits to pull from so the jokes/animations/tropes don't get old. If Squigly was JUST a cute zombie, it'd get old cuz we've seen it before, but she's also a singer and has a dragon that can attack with her, so she has suprisingly amazing variety. Ms. Fortune isn't JUST Frankenstein's monster, she's a pun-loving cat Frankenstein monster. Cerebella has a muscle hat AND is a trapeze artist, etc. etc. I think it's smart design to combine tropes together in order to create something unique with them

I like to look at skullgirls as the game that refuses to die. It has been dealt such a truly awful hand, and should have fallen apart on numerous occasions. But seemingly through sheer force of will, the people behind it just keep it barely afloat. This isn't like Melee, that just seems incapable of dying, and it's honestly pretty admirable how much passion has gone into this game.

@@Crawver Agreed. If Melee had the support of Nintendo, it would soar to the skies. But as we all know, Nintendo would kill it and everyone playing if they could.

He also added a WiFi detector, and started to fix lots of bugs, some very old. Each week, Mike patched the game not once, but twice. Sometimes we had more than 3 patches a week. Then the drama happened (The I can't breath joke, that girl DMs). After that we only got one patch and nothing more, some new bugs were introduced with the newer patches.

Their first season pass litterally costs more money than the base game for way less characters, the moment things started to get better as far as popularity goes, the company turned hyper greedy. Hell the mobile game litterally is not just a gatcha fighter, but actively replaces bad systems with worse systems (the pvp system that acts similarly to the attack defence style of starwars heroes went from giving you multiple chances with a larger board making it more likely to actually earn some points to a one loss and your out system) at this point it feels like dead by daylight. A good game cursed with one of the most apathetic and refusing to listen to criticism dev teams. I honestly hope that skull girls dies out as the devs dont deserve the recognition they are getting.

Beowulf, also really fucking annoying to fight a good one

Skullgirls is just a lovely game, it got me into fighting games and when on sale is literally 2 and a half bucks. Theres no reason not to get it.

It breaks my heart to hear about all the shit Lab0 had to go through. For a developer to work UNPAID on their passion project for a year is kind of unprecedented in AAA, and I've honestly never seen a project with that level of commitment and love in it save for maybe Witcher III. Skullgirls was made by actual players. You can see it in the games features and as a fighting games enthusiast, the training mode is honestly exemplary. The only thing I have to go to wikis for is combos, which basically no other fighting game can claim. The moves are visceral and satisfying, the characters are flawed and sympathetic, the gameplay is deep and layered while also being accessible and friendly to learn, and the community is pretty good. Honestly, I think the thing that cements my love for this game is the fact that MikeZ, one of the people on the SG team, is a regular at tournaments. That and the fact that they added SonicFox, arguably the best player in the world, as a background NPC in the classroom map. This isn't a gesture made out of some sort of dlc pandering or a desire for money from the community, it's out of respect for their best players and the supportive people who kept the game alive through trial and tribulation. God bless, Lab Zero. It pains me to see such a passionate developer suffer from harsh circumstances, but you've made a game that will remain in the favourites of tons of people regardless of the new titles coming out with better graphics or more fighters simply because this game outdoes them with heart. Finally, if this video gets anyone interested, the games community is STILL alive through a bunch of discord servers and matchmaking. If you want to start playing, the game is definitely alive.

Hopefully with the port on switch, the game would gain a bit more popularity. Because honestly, skullgirls might be the best possible fighting game out there, or for at least beginners.

It's beginner friendly if you don't play online. It has *the* best tutorials that I've seen in a fighting game and they got rid of infinites; however, people can still kill you in two combos while you're trying to figure out how to play the neutral online. The skill gap between new players and long-time fans is enormous, and there's not really rank-based matchmaking. If you don't mind a month or so of completely one-sided ass-whoopings while you try to catch up, you can consider it beginner friendly as well... I guess. I didn't have the commitment to break through that skill floor.

Funny that this video is popping up now after recent shenanigans with the current "devs" of this game.

**2020 happens** Game companies: Oh no we have to improve online now. **2020 happens again** Game companies: Nevermind.

This is the one game everyone says can be played online with the same feel as offline, heck, a few days ago they patched the netcode for improvements when it already feels perfect

The amount of love the developers put into SG is astonishing, theh even worked on it without being paid. They knew they'd get somewhere.

I remember seeing and playing a bit of skullgirls back then at someone's house and really liking it when i was younger. Then about 2 years ago someone was doing a give away for 2 copies of skullgirls and my best friend won. The second person who won never claimed it so he gave it to me since i was the next one. Me and my best friend love playing skullgirls and she is really good at it despite not playing much fighting games before. I'm proud of how far they have gotten and know they will get even better. This game deserves the recognition it deserves

I've met and tabled next to Alex at a few comic/toy conventions and remember him telling me he was greatly inspired by Darkstalkers/Nightwarriors which has a much more cartoony feel than the Marvel vs Capcom series. They really combined the MvC system and top Capcom animation beautifully into their own magnificent creation. Great video!

Autumn Games is there to pick up the baton and keep this project alive, hopefully free of the dreadful "cure of the Z". Indivisible is now in the hands of 505, who cut off support basically at release. I don't think we're getting any of the DLC...

Another interesting thing to add is how esports player SonicFox was added into the game to replace one of the NPCs (though she does also appear in his place on occasions) The problem being is that he's a very divisive figure, especially since he was caught rooting for someone assaulting a woman.

I'm a sucker for hand drawn stylistic animation and cel-shaded graphics, so Skullgirls caught my eye the first time it was introduced. Shame I never got to play it, but I'm glad it's still alive even now. A passion Project needs more oomph than a regular funded one. Looking forward to playing it as soon as I can get my hands on it.
