Skullbats PC
Skullbats have been the SG communities’ version of ranked battles. They’ve existed in various forms on the different platforms. Unfortunately due to PC hype, the PS3 NA Skullbats at the very least, has died off. As most of the community seem to have jumped on the PC train I’m hoping we can consolidate and rekindle this idea. If any other Skullbats are still running please let me know so I can include information here and in the Steam group. If anyone would like to run a separate division because the time or lag does no work for your group also let me know and I’ll try to help out. I’m not sure if any of the previous Skullbats had prizes (PS3 NA did not) but I am going to offer some up this time. Some of this is taken from the old PS3 Skullbats post. Sorry Sanger I’m too lazy to retype it all when it’s waiting there. Hopefully you don’t mind.
Friendly Competitive Environment to Level Up Yo Skullgirls
Online tournament league using the swiss system. Everyone gets a chance to play equally under this type of tournament without being eliminated.
As a RanBat (Ranked Battle) statistics will be kept for ranking all entrants. At the end of a season top ranked players will win prizes. Prizes and distribution undecided at the moment. I will at least put in $100 cash money and I have some other possible contributions.The idea is to have people actually care about these matches.
Brackets will not be finalized till after the tournament starts.
