Not sure if you're talking about Black Dahlia or Bloody Marie lol, but I get the sentiment.
I think Ajna from Indivisible could be a cool guest character if you could work her in some how.You may not have heard this, but Annie and Umbrella are joining the playable cast! Shocking I know!
There's also two more characters in the Season 1 Pass. Who do you think they'll be? Who do you want them to be?

If you'd asked me a year or so ago she would've been at the top of my wishlist, but... I'm not so sure it's a good idea now...
I got a feeling that people really like The Science Shark.
Why not take a poll and if the game does well, she can fill that last slot?
It's not so much if she is popular or not, but she's from a game owned by a completely different company which seems to want nothing more to do with the IP.

In any case, I'm personally not a proponent of adding guest characters into the game at this point. We have so many cool potential in-universe DLC characters (30+ of them in fact)(yes, even Minette)that I'd rather see a majority of them getting in first before they start considering guest characters. One more guest character made is one less Skullgirls character made. A character takes 3-6 months of Future Club/HVS teams working full-time on it; it's definitely not something trivial enough that they can just add just because.
Maybe this is a way they could show their support to their fans by adding her to Skullgirls. Since future DLC was cancelled in Indivisible. I know it costs money and time to develop a character. This would be giving back to the fans. I too was looking forward to the future DLC and I was only left with getting Ramzi's Challenges. I followed and was waiting on that game for YEARS to be released. I know there's some issues with the companies, that shouldn't keep them from adding a cool guest character. It seems the issue is with what happened and not whether the character fits and would be wanted in Skullgirls. I do understand that everyone needed to let things settle. I love the forum relaunch and it looks like it's cleared up some. If everyone has a moment please take the poll.If we get that bonus fifth character I'd be fine with letting a guest have that spot. We're still getting four Skullgirls characters this season, which is four more than I ever expected this game to get.
I just don't think Ajna is a good pick anymore because she'd kinda be reopening old wounds tbh. I've seen enough comments under SG announcements from people blaming HVS and FC for not finishing Indivisible, this would only add fuel to that fire from people who don't understand what actually happened there.
Good catch! But yeah, I think apart from being a red herring, another potential explanation is that it could just be made to support in case they put a boss Marie challenge in the NMO stage (although as far as I know none of the existing challenges that involve Marie are in this stage). I certainly wouldn't mind if Marie is one of the Season 1 characters though.View attachment 15706
Given that this unused banner intended for Beowulf's stage is currently in the game files, as of a patch from this year (it was always hidden in the game but it used to depict a crude sketch instead of her action shot), I think this is probably a strong indicator that Marie is going to be one of them.
Or maybe it's a deliberate red herring. That's also possible considering we're in the age where game devs surely know people are going to poke into the game's guts. A bit of a troll, if you will.

Wasn't she intended to be in the main roster at some point? Hence the poster and the voice lines (not just Annie's, most characters have voice lines for Marie).
Still bitter he's not in the roster. The best character ever.
She has one of the most interesting concepts, that's for sure. And I'm pretty interested for her story mode (even if I feel that it would be incomplete without playable Isaac and Adam).
Based on the unused voice lines people found, it seemed like the original planned DLC characters were Squigly, Umbrella and Marie, yeah. The fact there is an unused Annie voice line (which has obviously just been recorded recently) for Marie though does seem to be a very strong indication she will be here very soon. But I ain't gonna get my hope up too much lol.
Marie seems like an easy choice. I'd love black dhalia as well. Aeon is my #1 hope but I'm not expecting it this season :')You may not have heard this, but Annie and Umbrella are joining the playable cast! Shocking I know!

Aeon is my top pick too, but I feel like Aeon wouldn't be coming without Venus in tow. Though, if the last two characters for this season were Aeon and Venus, then...
