Ms. Fortune had it coming.
You don’t say that you’re going to kill her family when someone can grind her into Diamonds.
She was too dumb to live simple as that.
Also, did you guys heard?
Beowulf is coming from Retirement
I normally don’t care for story modes in fighters but wow this game has a good story mode. This needs to be a manga or something. I’d read it.
One complaint that i have is how “different” the characters are from Story to Story.
Mainly Valentine.
During all the stories you played Valentine was all “OH GOD, SCARS ARE SO HOT, I’M GOING TO SCAR YOUR SO BAD AND THEN I’M GOING TO DO AUTOPSIES ON YOU AND SHIT AND I’M SO EVIL MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA” to being a sympathetic loldoubleagent type of character that came across as completely different from the Valentine you fought 6 times already.
I just felt it came out, completely out of nowhere without build or flow
I second this.
Through yes the story mode was short, when more characters are introduced, we should see some proper Rival battles and such.
I would definitely love a graphic novel or something if Alex ever decides to do so.
my impressions of the story paths:
Spoiler
Filia - she’s kinda . . . boring? samson is all the personality of those two. there are hints of an interesting back story.
Cerebella - look at me. now look at that cat over there. now back to me. this cat is now DIAMONDS.
Peacock - won me over with her can-do spirit and her love of smokin’, drinkin’ and cartoons.
Parasoul - Umbrella was the heart of the story. The back story involving the queen sounds like it’d be really neat. Also needs more ice cream.
Ms. Fortune - Terrible Puns and a Thief with a heart of gold. It was just great to see her be all "F- that wish junk. I’m going home."
Painwheel - Sad, but I think she just may make Filia more interesting with a connected background
Valentine - Oh snap, the person you thought was bad was only pretending to be bad to stop THE EVIL. Or something? I guess?
Double - Almost as meta as the dog ending to Silent Hill. So I guess nothing happened expect some of it did . . . maybe? What?
honestly i would have preferred the Mortal Kombat style of switching around characters in a linear progressing narrative.
i figure it’d be easy to make more story since its not voiced all text. i also wished there was a tag-team with Filia-Painwheel when they met up.
Admittedly I thought Valentine’s portrayal in her story was very different too, but I don’t see why she can’t be evil and obsessed with autopsies and want to destroy the Trinity.
Much bigger pic of the Final scene in fortunes Story for anyone interested, since it’s one of my favorite art pieces and makes for a good desktop wallpaper.
Neat. Call me if and when you do the same to Peacock’s final scene where she’s facing down Black Dahlia.
EDIT: Also, that final shot of Painwheel in Valentine’s ending.
Can someone explain Double’s ending to me
-
Double is a creature that basically “consume’s” it’s victim’s and copies their powers (kind of like kirby).
-
Double was searching for a replacement because she knew that Marie wasn’t following HQ’s orders, HQ wanted to only destroy Lab Zero and Eight so that all threats to the skullgirl would be eliminated. Marie’s spirit was strong enough to resist being completely controlled (similar to painwheel) and she was going to use her power to exact revenge on the Medici family for murdering her family. Double would not allow her to this.
-
When Double defeats Marie she literally eats her, coughs back up a new host, and then digests the rest in her fat tummy.
-
Mother, Venus, and the other chick are the three overarching villains of the universe and they control whats going on. Double is their pawn
No. No. NONONONONO.
That whole ending is the Lab ppl basically telling you that all endings are non cannon. 
I know there non-canon, Reverge didnt have the time. But that’s what Double ending/story was.
…No it wasn’t. The whole point of the oh shit going on was to mess with you. Double’s ending is basicly explaining to you how nothing is cannon and everything is just a “what if?” *my take on it after I saw Venus’ text…and after I was told nothing was canon… Ravidrath ftw.
I like the ending. Stories were cool, a few were sad :[
I think it’s clever how the 3 bosses are a nurse, a nun, and a maid, symbolizing there is someone above them (Doctor, Priest, Master).
That is a very good point. She did threaten Bella’s family. But it is still appaling what the grappler is willing to do for a bunch of murderers and slave traders.
Well, I guess if I was in her situation the only thing I could do was asking the heart to mercy kill Fortune. Or to remove the Life Gem from her body and then snap her neck.
Felt that too. I guess we would need more history to explain this dicotomy but sadly, short in cash and money.
I guess Valentine is just a person who is fully aware of her mind sickness and just goes with it.
Or at least a more extreme version of people’s behavior. Instead of loving close ones and ignoring others she loves close ones and murders others.
I really wish this waifu thing would disappear… its fucking weird and annoying. As a side note, its husbandu when you’re talking about a guy and a guy (or two guys)
I care, usually, when a company puts major effort into telling a story.
We’re conditioned to not care because Games like King of Fighters, Street Fighter, and Guilty Gear didn’t really do much to push their story forward. Mortal Kombat, Soulcalibur, Tekken, and now Skullgirls are examples of games that try very hard to teach you about their lore and characters.
Street Fighter has bouts of trying, but mostly it just goes for campy humor over real story depth.
My suspicion about Valentine was correct. I’m glad.
Also, could someone post the image where Valentine is biting her mask. It’s so creepy and sexy. I’m all confuzzled.
Just finished Filia’s story. I almost threw my stick at the tv out of frustration at Marie. When I beat her, I was like "The ending better be worth it."
After I watched the ending, I was like "…Oh my god I hate you all so goddamn much for making that ending. GODDAMIT I LOVE IT AND HATE IT AT THE SAME TIME"
And then Filia became my favorite character in Skullgirls.
I wonder if, would Brain Drain ever become a playable, if his final fight would be against Painwheel instead of Marie. Just to continue Painwheel’s story.
