OK, to try to get this thread back on topic:
Has Skullo EVER been that good? I can’t think of a single game where he’s more than “decent”.
The same goes for Pullum. Maybe in EX3 because of the infinite…?

IMHO, skullo was best in EX1 (Skullo Dive!!!, longer invunerability in supers, no excels to worry about), but I haven’t gotten around EX3 yet. He’s good enough to hang with Ryu and Ken, and not as bad as Sim.
Also, in EX1, Skullo’s Crasher can’t be crouch blocked (counts as an overhead) at certain ranges. Mad props to anyone who can actually work this into a match, human or otherwise.
Qandiso: Josh already answered the question about Garuda’s Raiga: slow to start, no invulnerability. I’d also add: can’t actually hit anything you couldn’t hit with just about anything else (although, I have to admit, expert mission 15 looks good).
So mature…:lame:
Qandiso: I recall you mentioning Garuda’s RDP+P earlier, as a possible weapon against Zangief. That move is actually just about the worst thing to use on him, because Gief will block it and punish you with walkup SPD.
Trust me, I play Garuda a fair bit myself, and Gief eats him up. He has no safe special moves except for MAYBE the chest spike from max range.
Mondu: Yep, that’s what I thought. He seems pretty weak in EX3…as said earlier, he has no crossup, and he still doesn’t have skullo dive as a stand-alone move. His skullo crasher is very punishable, his momentary combos aren’t very good (skullo head and slider, two moves that do average damage and make the opponent airborne; that last factor reduces his possible combos after them), and he doesn’t have any particularly great tag-combo abilities (well, he does in training mode with the skullo ball, but I’m talking useful things here).
Josh the FunkDOC
Skullo has good tag possibilities in EX3, and quite damaging as well. As a combo starter hes great, try this:
Jump HK, crouch MK, Skullo Head, Tag, crouch MK, Skullo Head, Surprise Blow, Partner comes in…
Even without the Jump HK, this combo is damagaing and sets up any combo for your partner.
As a combo ender hes also good, but you need a lot of super bars. I suggest this combo:
Any combo grounding the opponent that leaves Skullo open to a Jump HK or even just a Skullo Slider. From here do a Skullo energy, Super Skullo Crusher, Skullo Energy, Skullo Slider, Momentary Punch.
This set up can be even more damaging as a combo starter, after the last Skullo Slider instead of doing the momentary you can do Tag, then Standing HK, Partner comes in. Try:
Jump HK, Crouch MK, Skullo Head, Skullo Energy…
As for Skullos style outside of combos hes quite unique. I find a mix of pressure tactics and mix ups using the SKullo Dash cancels works best. You must confuse your opponent constantly, and I find using the Skullo Dash into the taunt works well. After kocking your oppoennt down, or better yet away, use the dash and cancel it with his taunt at the distance you want, most people try retaliating after they see this, the Skullo Face Slam comes in very nice here since you have set the distance already and can also control the distance of the slam. Once people get used to this, start by mixing up the distances and the cancels, it gets very confusing for them very quickly. Throw in some Backflips to make more spacing, and apply his MK overheads when in close, and your opponent will be afraid to do anything. You have to establish dominace early with Skullo, he more so than any other character has to control the temp of the match to be effective.
If theres any questions in particular you’d like to know about him let me know.
Wow, thanks a lot Jester. Didn’t know that taunt had uses…I’m assuming this applies to the other EX games as well, right?
Josh the FunkDOC
I’m assuming so, but I didn’t start playing Skullo seriously until EX3, so I can’t say for sure some of those things will work.
Being an EX-'tard:
Pullum’s good because she’s cute, and you can dance with her!
Skullo’s good because he has tea with you and has a great laugh.
I have trouble with many expert missions, and can’t get the Galaxy to work.
Anyone get a perfect on Garuda?
Getting the Meteor Tag finish on Sagat was fun.
So many moves- so many characters- I’ll never get sick of it.
And the 2-D art- sweet, as you can see.
“It’s ENERGY!”
