Skullgirls!
Today we're going to talk about one of my favorite indie fighters.
Legend tells of a mysterious artifact known as the “Skull Heart” that has the power to grant a young woman’s wishes. Of course, there’s a catch. If she has an impure heart, even a selfless wish will be twisted in the most vile of ways: peace brought through brutality, eternal life through perpetual childhood, or a lost love returned as an undead monster.
Hundreds have sought the Skull Heart, but so far none have been deemed worthy and spared its cruel power. Those judged impure are transformed into the fearful instrument of their twisted wish… a pale and lovely tempest, a beautiful nightmare – the Skullgirl!
Skullgirls is an awesome fighter available for Xbox360 and the PS3. It is 2 dimensional as an homage to the earlier fighters such as Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom. The fast paced feel and three character tag-team mechanic makes Skullgirls an incredibly well designed fighter. Created from a very low budget, LabZero is slowly making this game on of the more popular modern fighters. The intent is to make the game tournament worthy while still being perfect for beginners. Skullgirls contains what is considered by most to be one of the best tutorials for fighting game beginners.
The Girls
As of right now, there are only 8 playable characters, but there are up to 32 additional potential characters. The 9th character is in production right now, while the 10th expected character will be the first male to join the Skullgirls lineup.
On February 25th, they launched a campaign via IndieGoGo to raise money to help release more characters, and a story mode. The main drive of the fundraiser is to help fund the production of the newest DLC character Squigly!
