Summary

Skullgirls has almost everything going for it. Fantastic art, fantastic net code, and a near-perfect fighting game engine. As such, it's a shame such a polished game was shipped missing an in-game moves list and no multiplayer lobbies.

We like

  • The crazy attention to detail
  • GGPO net code
  • Glorious hand-drawn artwork

We dislike

  • No multiplayer lobbies
  • No in-game moves list
  • Annoyingly hard final boss

See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings

(continued from previous page) ...and a pro player designing the mechanics behind it, what wasn’t to get excited about? Even with a good amount of hype I had behind it, the game still managed to surprise me when I played it -- a feat that doesn’t happen often.

    Keep the detail, add some dudes and I'll buy. Not liking the female only roster. Kind of a lame theme. Put both genders and you've got something good.

     They've announced some guy characters as DLC. :)

    Skullgirls is definitely the best fighting game I've played in years. The fighting system and mechanics are near perfect and tutorials and training mode give you insights that no other fighter game out there does. Despite having only 8 characters, there is no feel of lack in variety. Not to mention the HUGE amount of references and paraphrases to games, movies, shows, ect, including a reference to Mario and Pokemon.

     This is a cool game I just wish they have more characters.
