Not to be outshined, Skullgirls' final DLC character releases alongside 2nd Encore. Introducing... Robo-Fortune!
Robo Fortune is the creation of Brain Drain, the psychic director of ASG Lab Zero, and stands as a testament to her maniacal creator’s unmatched pride and petulance. Built to demonstrate loyalty and cunning, Robo Fortune fails to deliver either to any measurable degree. Employing cutting-edge technology, she sets out to hunt down the Skullgirl, and to engage in easily avoidable conflicts.

Is the ASG Project’s latest creation the ultimate cybernetic soldier? Have Brain Drain’s mechanical machinations set the world on a treacherous path? Is Robo Fortune’s faulty programming more of a feature than a bug? Has science gone too far?!

Robo-Fortune is free for the next three months for all owners of Skullgirls Encore, and 2nd Encore players own her by default. Robo-Fortune releases today for PS4 (US), PS3 (US) and Steam (Worldwide).


Skullgirls 2nd Encore is slated to release within the next 6 weeks for PlayStation Vita, and July 22nd for European PS4 users. The patch for Encore on 360 is still undergoing testing. Stay tuned for more info!

The Steam release is coming tonight, actually. I'll add all this info to OP.
 
well, something to look forward to in the morning!
 
The real question is how long do I have to wait for someone to upload the voiced story modes because I don't have a PS4.
 
Already playing it. Literally the moment my pre-order timer was up... I attacked it... That's not weird.

As much as i want to hear moar squigly, I'm actually more interested in seeing the Challenges and Trials. I wonder what combos were deemed worthy to be called the stuff used by pros. especially since squigly saw near-0 play at combo breaker, at least the streamed matches
 
Robo's story is just wonderful.

The launch party has been going strong for what now? Two years? It'll keep going so long as people keep the record spinning.
 
ok so, when Robo comes out on regular old Skullgirls Encore on Steam, will that be a silent story mode along with the rest of the game or will it be the only voiced story mode?
 
hey so if i pre ordered the game does that mean i get the vita version too if i downloaded on the ps4 first ?

Regular SG 1stE gets non-voiced story

because 1stE is not 2ndE

i thought the voiced story mode was 2nd encore exlusive

It is, I just didn't know how it would work since Robo Fortune is the only story mode that came AFTER the announcement of voiced story modes.
Thanks Tech.
 
Dumb question: how do I cancel a character selection on the character select screen? Normally it's "select" or "back" or somesuch, but PS4 controllers... don't have those?

EDIT: PS4 dualshocks have it, but... the TE2 doesn't
EDIT2: Ooorrrrr I can switch the TE2 to PS3 mode and I get the select button back. You know, it's amazing how you can just flick the switch in the controller selection screen in Tournament Mode and the PS4 immediately picks it up! Thanks PS3 stick driver!
 
fonts that make O and 0 look too similar

It's currently not up on PSN for Robo on PS3, unless I am goofing hard.
 
So uh

how does someone on PS3 go about playing someone on PS4?
 
Waiting for Steam...
 
Does anyone else have weird audio problems on PS4?
Negus' stream was having randomly shifting audio volume and mine is all over the place too.
I had BGM at 0, but music still plays during story mode, and then while navigating menus, the music turned itself back on.
I'm preeeeeeeeetty sure this doesn't happen on PC, but maybe I'm crazy?

Me too on PS4. I reported this as a bug in the bug report forums.
 
Robo-Fortune Steam release won't be tonight, BTW.

Valve can only publish between 9 AM and 5 PM PT, and they need to be in the office to push it live.

Setting everything up now and will alert Valve so they can push it out first thing in the morning.

EDIT: Sorry, this is about Robo-Fortune DLC, not the patch!

Fuuuuuck well ok g'night
 
So, curious about the trials mode, opening it up there are 4 trials per characters, just curious what the selection process for these was. Most of them seem particularly advanced from what I've gone over, though certainly useful in seeing what a character can string together or in a match.
 
My hopes were just crushed in a few words.
But meh, I guess waiting a day isn't so bad?

To correct this:
The patch will certainly be tonight, in a short bit here. Robo won't be available for purchase until tomorrow, but if you backed the IGG you should have her anyway. It's been about 50/50 for that, hahahah...

Am I reading Mike Z's Likes and Dislikes?

@Mike_Z @render

I started working my way through the trophies, enjoying some of the newly voiced story modes, and noticed that the cutscene voice/music mix seemed really off at times. I didn't really take notes, but short version: either the music is too high, or the voices too low. There were times I would've had trouble understanding the spoken dialogue, if not for the subtitles. I also found out that the cutscene mix doesn't appear to be affected by the menu audio controls, so I couldn't fix it myself.

Anybody else experience this?

I had this issue with Robo's story, voices would often go very quiet while the music did not.
 
Robo-Fortune releases today for PS4 (US), PS3 (US/EU) and Steam (Worldwide).

Robo Fortune is scheduled to come out on 7/9 for EU PSN.

Skullgirls 2nd Encore is slated to release within the next 6 weeks for PlayStation Vita, and two weeks for European PS4 users.

This is a little misleading. Could you use the actual date of 7/22 for the EU PS4 release part? "...and comes to PS4 in Europe on 7/22."

Don't know if we're expecting Vita to be simultaneous for US/EU, but I sure as hell hope so.

hey so if i pre ordered the game does that mean i get the vita version too if i downloaded on the ps4 first ?

If you preordered, or even just bought it after the preorder period was over, you will get the Vita version as soon as it becomes available, regardless of whether or not you actually download the PS4 version.

And that's a "no", still locked for me, even though I backed. Welp, godda wait.

Same here. I see her, but she isn't selectable yet. Which is fine, I'm in no hurry.

Dropping this feedback so that other backers know there's nothing wrong with their game.

He meant you'll get them free regardless, not that she's getting early release for backers
