![]() She’s all right, but she ain’t no Felicia.Īt first I was like, “Oh no! Not another palette swap!” But she’s actually not just a gray Miss Fortune! She is her own sprite with different animations and attacks! The bad guys created her, but she also has a lot of funny lines that she delivers in a monotone robotic voice, like “In case you haven’t noticed, I am a robot,” and “This was a triumph.” Since she’s also a cat, she can also wrap fighters in a ball of yarn and bat it around like cats do. She stole a gem called the Life Gem, and when mobsters from the Medici gang cut her into pieces, she still lives but can throw her head around as a weapon when she fights. 2! The graphics are all shades of blue and she even wears a nightcap with an F on it and everything! It’s all Filia’s dream, and it shows her sleeping in bed that’s a direct reference to the ending of Super Mario Bros. But the way Fukua’s story starts out is pretty funny. Usually you fight a few guys and then the boss, but for Fukua, you fight half the roster, then the boss, then the other half and then the last boss is a super hard version of Filia that I couldn’t beat. Same moves for the most part and everything. One bad thing about SkullGirls is that it’s guilty of having different characters just are just palette swaps of other characters, but luckily it doesn’t happen often. Because of this, I was able to beat the last boss with this character. If you look closely, you can see her headband is actually teeth and eyes! Her parasite’s name is Samson. Maybe she’s going to police school? Anyway, like Squigly, she has a talking parasite thing attached to her hair. They’re muscled up versions of ancient Egyptian gods Anubis and a bird hieroglyph.Īt first I thought she was a police officer but she’s actually a school girl in a uniform. But it turns out she’s a scary mean demon that can turn into a skeleton as her true form! Lesson here is to not judge a book by its cover! And she’s really mean and killed off my favorite character in the story mode! I do like her two goons, though. And he is one of the few characters I can beat the game with! So yeah, he’s awesome!Īt first I thought I’d like her because she looks like a pretty Egyptian lady. But instead of mechanical parts, he was rebuilt with musical instruments! So he fights with saxophones, trumpets, trombones, and others. He’s one of my favorite characters! He’s like a film noir detective, but he was badly hurt in an accident so he was rebuilt with parts. And Squigly is one of the ones I couldn’t beat the last boss with so that’s all I can say about her! So I could beat the story mode with some characters but not others because the last boss is so hard and/or cheap. But it turns out she’s really a zombie and her string thing is actually a talking parasite demon guy. ![]() ![]() Anyway, I first thought Squigly was a puppet, as she has a string thing around her and her mouth is sewn shut and she just communicates via thoughts. SkullGirls would make a great cartoon, albeit a very mature one. Also, the game has a dark art deco 1920’s theme, and kind of reminds me of Batman: The Animated Series. And that’s why most of the characters you can play as are female. If a girl or woman touches it, they’ll get their wish granted, but it comes with some consequences, too. So the main reason why all these fighters are beating each other up is to take control of the Skull Heart. Some slight story spoilers here and there, just to warn you, but the game HAS been out since 2012. So when that happens, I usually like to write a blog about the characters, and so we’ll do that here. And usually they aren’t in fighting games. Almost on par with fighters like BlazBlue and Guilty Gear! I was very impressed with the creativity of the characters and even the storylines in the Story Mode were pretty interesting. But I got my chance when it came out on the Switch! For what’s considered an indie game, this one is very good. It’s a 2-D one-on-one fighter with cartoony graphics and I’ve been wanting to review it since 2012 when it came out, but for whatever reasons I wasn’t able to. Recently I reviewed SkullGirls: 2 nd Encore.
