Here’s my contribution:
Ms.Fortune - Morrigan Aseland from the Vampire Savior/Darkstalkers series
Parasoul - Kneesocks from the Anime “Panty and Stockings with Garterbelt”
Cellebra - Rainbow Mika from Street Fighter Zero/Alpha 3
A stretch but,
Parasoul - Mascot of the Stream FinestKO productions. A stream from Northern California that features games like BlazBlue, KoFXIII, Catherine, Guilty Gear, and just recently, Skullgirls.
According to TVTropes, Filia have a Scanty color palette. When I personally checked myself, there was no red-skinned Filia. Only a palette with a red Samson.
During Cerebella’s Devil Horns she says “excellent” and a guitar riff plays, which to me sounds like a reference to Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure
That’s not one of the default 10 palettes, just like the Potenkim Cerebella, you will have to wait for the Color Palettes DLC.
I mean, they need to take your money some way, and color palettes is the less abusive way the can do it (unless you want characters to cost $10 each one).
That was the first thing i checked when I originally saw the color, but no, I don’t believe shes an “Iz”
She’s also shouting Show them who’s the boss! during her summons which is lampshading of the fact that she is… you know, a boss =]
Any news on the DLC, besides the inclusion of Umbrella and Squigly?
Palettes are pretty much confirmed. Stages too I think. But It’ll be logical to tie stages with characters since their story modes can demand new stages.
That’s one hell of a stretch. I believe she’s supposed to be an FKO version of Catherine from, well, Catherine.
Either that or Mami from Puella Magi Madoka Magica, but I’ll put 5 Monopoly dollars on Catherine.
Either way, it’s quite a bit of a stretch, Parasoul’s outfit hardly matches Catherine or Mami.
I had actually noticed this in the alpha, I thought it was an amazing reference. I can’t believe I forgot about it 
Huh - I was thinking Ms.Fortune’s Alt 4 was a reference to Makoto from BlazBlue. Interesting that it’s actually an in-universe reference, though.
Don’t believe I’ve seen this one mentioned yet, but forgive me if its being reposted.
Ms. Fortune’s 8th color palette is a reference to Black Rock Shooter:

Also featured on the recent Whiteboard Wednesday:
Also here’s a collective list TVtropes made, with mentions of stuff as Parasoul’s Zero Suit Samus color palette that got taken out.

Congratulations! You win 5 Monopoly dollars
I’ve been holding onto this for monthsssss and I can’t believe that nobody else has posted it yet! I figure this thread is as good a place as any?

This movie poster alone is one of the single most direct examples that I have personally seen of a particular source that the art direction of Skullgirls seems to both draw stylistic influences from and pay homage to.
Peacock’s c.MP (I believe it is) is a glorious reference to this.

When Valentine loses from the timer running out, she disappears but a bunch of bones appear everywhere. Not sure if it was so obvious nobody posted it but, it’s a reference to old school Mortal Kombat when people use to explode into 50 rib cages and 40 femurs.
You can’t deny the resemblance.
Correction, that’s Katherine. /nitpick
5 Monopoly dollars are yours.
Yes I can. It looks nothing like her. >_>
