PC will actually get her first from what I understood. Mostly because there will be no wait for the patch on Steam unlike on consoles.

Isn't Microsoft forbid such things? Or you can get away with it if it's free?

The game is coming to Steam though...

I think it was said, during this whole patch thing that, they want the payed things to come out at the same time (thats why the DLC colors aren't out yet even if free patch is out on PS3). Since Squigly will be free at first, it doesn't seem like it will be a problem. I guess she will have to be changed from free to payed at the same time... And if then Microsoft will take long with approving things... well, more free Squigly for us.

@UP

But Microsoft still will press for simultaneous release on Steam, PSN and Live.

Mike has said a few times that Big Band will be like a Q that didn't suck. So I'm looking forward to that very much.

Also what the hell, who dares to say Q's command grab isn't good?! I will break you.

Oh man, gimme dat buffed Q!

Kawalorn · February 13

Ah yes, as a person who "mains" Q (never played SFIII online) I just got MUCH more interested in Big Band. :P Still hoping Q will come back at some point in a SF game. :(

...Male Skullgirls?

You're doing it wrong...

SKULLGIRLS PATCH NOTES

Ver. 1.02

Added Male character.
Changed name of game to "SkullPeople".

Ravidrath · February 13

Not overly related to Squigly, but... WTF, d3v?

Four comments about making me a playable trap character on that news story?

Kawalorn · February 14

How will be the fund-raisers held? I heard it won't be with Kickstarter, which is a good news to me because I can't pay in the ways they accept. Will it be possible to pay via Pay Safe Card? I really want to throw in some money and that's kinda the only way I would be able to do that. :/

Pretty sure it's been stated that the name refers to the boss, not the gender of the roster.

You ever heard of a joke? Because that was one. A joke is where you............ fuck it you wouldn't get it anyway.

Also lol at red letters underneath this because I forgot to use a question mark in the first sentence.

Motch420 · February 14

having male characters in skull girls isnt a bad thing, you can design male characters differently due to stereotypes and archetypes of the gender that you cant really do with female characters. big band for instance. i dont think you could see a half sax/half woman walking around and look as cool as big band lol
just a thought...

DeepEnd · February 14

Big Band is really huge though, I wonder how valentines or cerebellas grabs work/look on him

Too bad no one will give a shit by then. I expect to see Squigly drop the moment she is ready for Steam and PSN. MS has fucked around long enough with this particular game.

MWisk_2 · February 14

That's really curious, I'm assuming that large characters like Big Band would have a special animation when being grabbed by Valentine, Cerebella and any other weird grab.

Krackatoa · February 14

Hahaha. I picture an alternate body bag that's like... fat.

OutlawSkullman · February 15

Valentine is a ninja. I'm sure she'll find a way to gas a man in an iron lung and stuff him into a smaller bodybag.

No, it refers to the roster, because it's plural. Hence the S at the end. The boss isn't several skullgirls, it's only one skullgirl. Learn to english.

PsychoJosh · February 15

Hopefully the big reveal at the end of Big Band & Panzerfaust's story modes is that they're actually women. That would absolve them.

Kawalorn · February 15

Well when you put it in that way the roster also doesn't contain any Skullgirls as only Marie is a Skullgirl and the rest might or might not become a Skullgirl after they kill Marie. So there aren't ever multiple Skullgirls. Hence the title doesn't make sence since the beggining with or without male characters.

You know how it is... it doesn't hurt until you notice you've been shot.

You're wrong because in the end you still have to deal with the fact that the game's title is plural, which means it's obviously referring to all the girls instead of just one girl.

DeepEnd · February 15

I think you're putting too much thought on this

Mr. X · February 15

Maybe they want to be progressive and use girls to refer to everyone regardless of gender like people use guys regardless of gender to refer to everyone.

MEN CAN BE SKULLGIRLS TOO

You know I might as well turn that around and say that you have to deal with the fact that there are no Skullgirls in the roster so it can't be reffering to them. :P BTW I like that kind of trolling. It's fun. XD

Then what's the title referring to if not the girls in the game? Maybe it's referring to an all-cheese grilled sandwich at Subway. Your answer will inevitably be something along the lines of "duh, I dunno." So the inescapable conclusion is that you're wrong ;)

Poison is too physically fit to be a Skullgirl

PsychoJosh · February 15

Also didn't Mike say he hates trap characters?

Jet Set Dizzy · February 15

There have been multiple Skullgirls, Parasoul's mom being another.

Combine the two.

Of course it'll be kind of a waste since I guess she'll have to share this stage with the second DLC character and so she won't really have theme music.

PsychoJosh · February 15

If she does, however, it'll probably sound like this

Zidiane · February 15

PsychoJosh said:

Mike Z isn't making the characters, though. Ahad is. And Poison isn't a trap, she's a transexual.

Sides, I was just making a joke.at your choice of words, "Men can be skullgirls too". Men can be (skull)girls too. Men can be girls too. Poison.

Teenage Bad Girl · February 16

psycho josh why do you keep posting twice in a row holy shiiiiiiiiiiiittttt

ps squiggly should have a butt normal a butt special move and a butt super so i can butt into butt into butt

Depends on if you're talking about the japanese version (undeniably a trap) or the non-japanese version (arguably a trap).
Either way Poison is pretty trap-ish...just sayin

Louiscipher · February 16

Oh god...

evilweevle · February 16

if we are taking the name of the game literally then i want to know who the fuck all these other filler characters are in my streetfighter 4! if i wanted more characters i wouldve bought streetfighters instead! doy!

edit : maybe it is just referring to the fact that they are girls, who each have a skull, except maybe double.

Current Skullgirl and all the dead ones before her. :P See? My theory isn't even a stretch like yours. :P

Actually yours is stretching it to a breaking point because it's MUCH simpler and more logical to say it's referring to the playable characters in the game :)

Kawalorn · February 16

So you're saying that naming it after something that exists in story (current and deseased Skullgirls) is more of a stretch than naming it after something that doesn't exist (Skullgirls in roster)? Try again.

I guess by your logic Darkstalkers is an erroneous name because none of them are ever seen actually stalking in the dark. If what you say is true then how come people use the term "favorite skullgirl" to describe who their favorite playable character is in this game? I suppose they're all wrong too? There's no way they could be describing who their favorite deceased skullgirl is because they have no way of knowing them. Also if a vs. game was made with this game, called "[Whatever] vs. Skullgirls", would the Skullgirls name still be in reference to the many deceased skullgirls who haven't been seen or made playable? Because you're saying it's really only in reference to two actual characters, one of which doesn't even exist in the game apart from a brief mention and a picture.

In the end, the actual correct answer is, you're an idiot. I'm not continuing this derail any longer.

Aha! So there you have it! Name DOESN'T have to be acurate so your initial point about game turning into Skullpeople with addition of males has been invalidated by yourself. :P. To bad you got so serious in this argument you thought I actually meant most of this. Gee man your posts obviously weren't serious so I just wanted to have some fun. ;) But I guess it's not as fun when your on the other end of trollish posts huh?

The Martian · February 16

Can we not de-rail this thread yet again into some bullshit that has nothing to do with Squigly?

Like seriously why the fuck is this so hard.

Louiscipher · February 17

What is it with Poison and Kayo Police that instantly derail threads?

Dravidian · February 17

People have spent too much time in literature classes and are subconsciously finding sexual "references."

They're all afraid of Squigly's "snake."

New character on the horizon: Squigly!
