Yes she was revealed last night.

Oh what a miracle, I thought this day would never come <3

What’s her name? So I can add it to the title. Can’t really tell, the picture’s too blurry.

Squigly

Gracias. Now then, is there any gameplay of this damsel yet? I really wanna know more.

Definitely the highlight of the stream for me, helped wash out some of the salt that built up moments before.

Can’t wait for the info in a couple weeks.

^ RE-LIVE THE MAGIC!

What you see is everything they have for her programmed so far.

If this character has a decent dp, I will be maining her fo’ sho’

So, moving past the obvious squee.

She appears to have a higher super jump than Parasoul, a double jump, an air dash and there are rumors of a divekick. I think we have a new Valentine replacement on our hands.

That reveal last night was so crazy. Everyone was dead silent, you could actually hear mike talk!

Also, I absolutely love Squigly’s jump. I am so excited for her!

Lol that chick was so excited. As am I.

WE NEED THIS CHARACTER NAOW

Also if she’s like Valentine then I’m even more interested.

Lol that chick is so excited. As am I.

WE NEED THIS CHARACTER NAOW.

And if she’s supposedly like Valentine then I’m even more excited.

She needs to replace someone (anyone but Cerebella) on everyone’s team. If her combos aren’t too funny, like Peacock’s IAD-pauses, I think I’ll main her. If just for that forward walk animation. The cutest walk I’ve ever seen, and the cutest animation in this game.

Looking at her walkspeed, I presume this is another char one can proper wavedash with.

YAY! SQUIGGLY!!!
I’ve been waiting for her for so long! My team will be finally complete!

For those who don’t know about Squiggly, here are some details about her.
(note: some info might be outdated)

Storywise:

  • She was a singer and the daughter of a noble family.
  • Everyone in her family were killed by the mafia (IIRC)
  • The murderers also sewed her mouth.
  • Leviathan was the guardian of the family and attached himself to her body in order to keep her alive as a zombie.
    -She’s also Filia’s rival.

Gameplay stuff:

  • She’ll be a stance character. Something like Gen. She’ll probably be very technical to use with stance cancels and what not.
  • One of her stances will be a full-zombie version of her.
  • She has mechanics using the defeated characters on the screen, like Valentine’s lv5. Supposedly she feeds on them.
  • She uses a Kung-Fu style and has a DIVE KICK!
  • She also has a BOOTY SLAM sort of attack! Kreygasm!
  • I wonder if her attack in Double’s Lv3 is actually her DP. I think this was mentioned somewhere.

The divekick alone puts her on my team.

I’m going to have a gdlk fucking Squiggly.

Ahhhh i’m hyped.

Welp, time to change the avatar back.

My question to Mike_z: Did the outpouring of support for SG during the donation drive green light Squiggly or was this in the works already?

Edit for clarity:
I was asking about business not art.
I know that what was shown was the state of Squigly from last year.

Did DLC characters get financed because of the donation drive or was the money already in place?

Sorry for the confusion.
