Skull Girls Story Discussion Thread: ALERT! SPOILERS INBOUND!

PyroquinFran

This thread is for anyone who is intrested with the story mode/arcade mode and wants to share their reactions. What you thought was good, bad, funny and/or sad can all be expressed here. All without spoiling any of it for anyone in the GD thread.

I would not consider spoiler tags necessary because let's face it, this whole thread is just one big spoiler tag.

not so saint

K, thanks Fran =]
I won't go here until I finish storymode.

My first story mode experience was Minette getting hit on, and then being negged on.

Holy fuck what a weird way to start the game.

Sensei Rouzu

Just beat Peacock's so far. Hot damn Reverge Skullgirls needs its own cartoon or at least make one just for Peacock.

Filia. Dayum!

Cerebella's story has her in a Playboy outfit, complete with bunny eared Vice-Versa. It's.... it's truely something.

Woah isn't Vitale like Bella's "dad" in a sense XD.

To her she is, to him... clearly not so much.

To me the most spectacular about her ending was...

Spoiler:

How she killed Ms. Fortune by wishing the Life Gem out of her body. That is DARK deco

Osmiumsmith

Seems to have only sad endings

Fillia's is pretty happy.

Spoiler:

Sure, she's going to become the new Skullgirl, but there's quite some time before that happens. Meanwhile, Painwheel is free to live a real life, and Fillia has a friend.

Parasoul

Huh. Skullgirls seems to be a game withing a game. Also Venus.

So it is bittersweet at best. The last meal of someone in the death row except it is everyone else that dies instead of the condemned.

I like this plot...

I don't have the game, so I have been spoiling myself with the livestreams so I don't get obsessed. So far I have seen Parasoul's and Cerebella's endings.

I really liked Ms. Fortune's obsession with vengeance. Even in the state she was in that ending, she was really scary.

Hmm... Hoping to see some screen captures surface of all the artwork in story mode.

I paticularly want one of Peacock and Black Dahlia about to clash as a Desktop wallpaper, or one of Cerebella hugging Feng.

Speaking of Peacock, wow, her story was unsuspectingly sad.

She didn't seem to care. Hopefully a patch will allow us to view endings...

Parasoul's ending was the saddest.

The training begins so in time Umbrella can kill Parasoul.
Ouch.
My heart...

I was confused by that ending...
Ravidrath had to explain it to me.
I just don't get how...she just didn't end the cycle there and then. It will even worst for her sister to kill her in the future...she would have rather died for being so damn stupid. Oh well.

Dantemustdie00

I don't think any of the endings are canon, so I don't know by the next build of the game with more characters and stuff that the endings and story for the characters would change. I don't know, maybe.

Oh yes




I'm starting to upload artwork pics of the story mode via some screen capturing, so if ya'll got a request, ask away. This Thread is for spoiling after all.

I'm also getting some pics for the "Who are the known characters of the Skullgirls Universe" Thread, like the Avatar of Feng I have now.

Luckydude23

Wow, so the story mode seems to be really cool so far. Even though the endings are like "What If's", just looking at it from streams, it's suprisingly good.

Although I have to say, the endings so far for the characters are really sad.

Eh...life is full of disappointments.

They explained it kind of clearly. Umbrella can't live without the Skullheart around her anymore(hopefully I didn't misremember this detail already)
So Parasoul kept her from becoming the next Skullgirl while also becoming the next Skullgirl and keeping the Skullheart near Umbrella at all times.

Also, so I guess the Divine Trinity is Aeon (who I've never seen before this), Venus, and Mother?

Actually no. She didn't take the shot because it would have killed her in the explosion. If she hadn't gone for the heart she would have gotten it...so she decided to become the skullgirl and train the little brat to kill her. Ravidrath told me so.

That trinity thing would explain why everthing plays like a movie...so yeah I have considered that theory.

Nitro263

I'm pretty sure Cerebella compressed Nadia back into the Life Gem.

I didn't like Cerebella's ending. Hell, it didn't look like she liked her ending. Everything works out for Vitale, but she looks mad unhappy.

Parasoul is awesome. She gets a downer ending, but it works well in showcasing just how much of a heroine she is. Sacrificing herself to what she hates most o save her sister... and then she's going to train Umbrella to kill her when she becomes the Skullgirl. She's a real trooper.

Filia's was sad, and a little underwhelming. That she never finds all her answers to her past is disappointing, and the skull heart trolls her in the end (your wish was pure... not.) Painwheel is the only one who wins in Filia's ending, and all that Filia gets resolved is that she is now slowly waiting to turn (which is essentially death). And what happened to Samson?

Fortune's story was about the only positive one, and played out like an action movie that sets up for a sequel in the end. It also brought more focus on Minette and the Dagonian supporting characters, and introduced a new guy, which is cool.

Peacock's story was also really good. A good mix of awesome and tragic, Peacock remains unfazed through everything, and Black Dahlia makes an appearance.

Painwheel's ending was tragedy. Even after all she endured and overcomes, things just never really get any better for her. So sad.

Valentine's story is one of my favorites. It does a very good job explaining what she's all about, and showing how she's really an anti-heroine, not a villain. She's willing to sacrifice herself just to make sure they can stop the beings behind the Skull Heart, and takes the role of Skullgirl onto herself just to give Painwheel a reason to keep going. Even through all the bad things she's credited with, she may be the most selfless character in the game.

Double's story... is just LOL. It was creepy at first, but then... LOL.

Dantemustdie00

If theirs one ending that does seem the most legit, it'll have to be Doubles ending, well, techniqually the scenes that happen after Doubles ending.

Mother (The Great Mother), Aeon and Venus are all on the stain glass windows and the giant statue in the Grand Cathedral, as to what their role truly is, well, were just gonna have to wait for a sequel or something, when I assume the true story will commence.

Lets hope Ravidarth doesn't have to tell anybody else!

Peacock had the best story mode if you ask me.

Cerebella's was just screwed up. I can never not like the character, but seriously she compressed Ms. Fortune into a giant life gem. She didn't wish it out of her since the original life gem was small enough to be swallowed. She seriously handed Vitale an gem made out of compressed cat gore..

Yeah it would have showed the Skullheart reacting if it was a wish.


Oh yeah and no sign of Squigly at all... D:

Or her wish made the Skullheart transforme Fortune in the Life Gem.

What we do know is that there is no Nadia anymore and that Cerebella looks sad for something she did in her final picture.

The plot writers left the horror for our imagination. Classic move.

Agreed. Not to mention,

it kills off my favorite character

which as previously mentioned, pisses me off.

Parasoul's ending so far is my favorite.

JakeWasHere

Spoiler:

Cere's had a very uncomfortable revelation: The man who saved her from the streets, the man to whom she owes her life, the only father or role model she's ever known, is a fucking asshole. And she's killed for him, and she'll do it again. And again. And again.

AceZTeller

Aren't these all "what if" scenarios? None of these are actually true, right? Someone said something about a patch with the real story.

Osmiumsmith

I foresee a Cerebella hatedom, specially among Fortune's fandom.

Uncivilized Elk

I "hated" Cerebella off her (non-hatbro) design to start with.

Well I just saw Double's ending right now and

Spoiler:

it appears Aeon of the Trinity seems to directly state that's the case.

Or Mike Z is trolling us.

Sanger Zonvolt

Only played Filia's and Painwheel's so far, I have to say Filia's was meh, but Painwheel's was pretty good.

Kuukuu Omoi

Spoiler:

i have to say that i love Valentine, though i don't like that she became the sg -_-

Russai

Just finished all the stories there. Aeon really has an hourglass figure going on. (I see what you did there Alex)

Also, this thread is a mess of Spoiler tags. Everyone coming in here knows there's going to be rampant spoilers so they're really unnecessary.
