24 is the last number I remember.
Yeah, pretty certain the ambiguously brown characters is the best we’ll be getting initially. Throw me some decent palettes and we’ll be good.
Token black characters will likely be added later as DLC. And while we’re thinking progressively, add token asian, indian and a russian characters (preferably involving tesla coils) as well.
24 characters is too good. I really hope they actually have a cap in mind.
Skullgirls isn’t a generic Anime rip off at all, no it’s more like a generic Tex Avery rip off + a post Akira world influence.
It’s basically this
Plus some modern anime influences and a bunch of other stuff thrown in.
The ONLY way you can POSSIBLY point to any Japanese animation that resembles Skullgirls is to go back to the days of Astroboy, ya know, back when Japanese animation studios were trying to emulate the Disney(!) style.
Why would they go with a 1930s style for a black character? The only character that’s modeled anytime from that period is Peacock.
I wonder. . . . if the game ends up shipping with 7 charecters, whose going to get the boot? We already know very well how Painwheel is going to play, so it probably isn’t going to be her, and Umbrella was referenced on the website, so she’s probably still very much planned, meaning that first up on the potential chopping block might be squiggly o_O
Why do you say 7 characters?
Because they still use “Around 8” and it’s been said several times that they’ll try to get out as many as possible, but when it comes time for release, they’ll release whatever characters they have done.
couldn’t around 8 be 9 or 10 ? As of right now they’ve shown us 4 characters we don’t know how many characters they have completed. To make speculation of their being less is just being pessimistic.
Well around 8 could be above. After all, we know the Valentine and Marie are most likely the bosses. And if they are in the game then they’ll most likely be playable since i’d imagine they want to maximise the character count. Unless of course they make them pure boss mode characters.
4 characters, only 3 of which are near complete. The game is still in pre-alpha, and the release date is still set for 2011. It is by no means pessimistic to consider that we may get less than 8 playable characters at launch.
What? The 4 characters are complete. (Well, their still recording Para’s voice, but still…)
Ms Fortune’s probably close to completion too. And the team does work on two characters at a time.
Hey guys, got another stream going tonight on the stream site. Not sure about the start time I’d say anywhere from 7pm - 9pm PST. There will be some changes in the game since I got a patch for it. I haven’t installed it so who knows what could be on it :wgrin:.

No way they would let those beautiful sprites go to waste as just boss characters. They will be playable for sure, question is when.
I kinda doubt that they will ship with less than eight since eight is the number they mention. They have been really careful about how many characters they say will be in so that they don’t mention more than they can get in.
Don’t speak of such blasphemy as removing Squiggly from the roster.
I said it before and I’ll say it again, I’d pay $60 right now for Peacock / Filia / Cerebella.
Fully serious.
Same here.
I will do the same .
Maybe that was true for the build at evo.
Could’ve sworn the whole game took place in that era.
Carnies? Mafia? Peacock? Nazi references? Go to the website and take a look at the types of cars in the streets.
You can add me to that, although having Parasoul won’t hurt either.
So none of that stuff exist in todays society ?
