Clockwise from the top - Easter, Hallow, Christmas and Patty.
Also, Squigly was described as being able to speak, but she has the ability ‘to manipulate space’, so her voice is very echoey.
Big Band and Illeum have experience dealing with previous Skullgirls. Big Band is described as being very protective. He’s actually encased entirely in an iron lung - the legs sticking out the bottom are robotic.
Feng will no longer have the Salamander parasites. The two ‘ghost birds’ on her head would be the focus of her acrobatic fighting style.
There’s something hidden behind Black Dahlia’s mask, but it is hidden for a reason so he wouldn’t elaborate. Her fighting style was described as tricky and cruel.
Peacock’s eyes were green before she uh… got her makeover.
Panzerfaust was part of Lab 14 (I think that was the number), which specializes in super soldier creation.
All of the ninja nurses were all part of Lab 7. Last Hope were the final 5 ninjas before they met Marie. Lab 7 specialized in anti-drug enforcement.
And as I figured before, Black Dahlia has an interesting scar across her waist. Black Dahlia from real history was cut in half. (It might be just an error but notice her ear is not pointed like in that one shot in the game)
EDIT: Some more stuff:
Squigly is supposed to be Filia’s rival and is sort of her opposite. Leviathan is more cultured than the gruff Samson. He’s more in sync with Squigs than Samson is with Filia. Samson tends to wear the pants in that relationship while Leviathan and Squigs are equals. Samson and Leviathan know each other.
Her death and subsequent zombism is related to a skullgirl, but not specifically Marie.
Gameplay wise she has a Divekick, but it’s more like Ragna’s than Yun’s, meaning it has a followup.
Other details: Feng currently has no last name.
This was already known, but the there are three kingdoms in Skullgirls: Canopy, Chess and Gigans. The Gigans are still ‘giant beserker demons’.
Not anti-drug enforcement. Use of drugs in enforcement. Like those MKUltraexperiments where they tried to invent a truth serum or learn how to use LSD for character assassination/interrogation.
Also: in-universe, the “upside down cross” is a symbol of the Divine Trinity - Aeon, Venus, and Mother together at the bottom, with a line to the heavens.
One thing that’s always intrigued me about this game is the contrast between it’s visual style and the story.
For such a bright, colorful and artsy game, there is some dark shit going on. Like the Mafia killing Squigly’s entire family and stitching her mouth shut.
Peter is giving some story-related answers. I like this one though: “Living weapons like Vice-Versa are artificially-created and non-sentient, and can usually only be controlled by people in a certain bloodline.” It implies that Bella belongs to certain family, members of which are only ones able to control VV. Makes you wonder who they were.
It is a real person (eternally young it looks like) who act as character with the same name in the show. Alex was saying that her in-character personality differs from her actual one.
Not necessarily. She could just be religious herself personally.
It’s not like her army uses that icon, they use an parasoul/umbrella.
I never did her story, anyone got anything on her religious affiliation?
Also, anyone think that there’s more between Valentine and Parasoul, whenever Valentine tags in Parasoul, she says her name with a great deal of disdain.
I know it seems like “she betrayed” Canopy, but I think they may have been friends, considering they both have tastes in similar things, have similar ages, and when Valentine says “they won’t follow you, once they see me”, just seems kind of playful.
Notice what they have in common: Both of their left eyes are covered. Parasoul’s by her bangs and Valentine by her eyepatch. They just never look that way in-game because the eyes covered switch depending on the direction they’re facing. I wonder if this implies that they had any similar experiences?..
I’m more than inclined to believe that Valentine and Parasoul were friends when they were younger.
Parasoul was going through princess training and getting tired, Valentine was doing whatever (maybe drugs, maybe last hope training) and getting tired, they met up on the streets of new meridian, had a fun night running through the town, decided to meet up a few more times, something happened, and they stopped meeting up.
Years later they see each other and act like they’ve never met.
It’d be pretty nutty that for some reason they decided to give each other their left eyes.
See, it’s funny, because in all of Parasoul’s Double-specific lines she calls her a “demon”.
Whether the Church of the Divine Trinity is a state religion or just something Parasoul is devout about, when she finds out that Double and the Skull Heart and so forth are legit working for the Great Mother she’s going to flip.
There’s definitely a relationship between Valentine and Parasoul in some form going on, and clearly one built on disdain. It might be as simple as Valentine blaming Parasoul as leader of the Canopy Kingdom for the deaths of Last Hope, but I imagine there’s something more to it than that.
I thought Alex mentioned at some point that there’s nothing wrong with Parasoul’s eye anymore, she just wears her hair down over it. I can’t remember where I heard that though so I could have just made that up.
As for Annie’s alternate personalities:
I gather she’s like Baby Herman from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? All sweetness and innocence on TV and then a gruff tomboy off camera.
