Annie time.
 
they've had assets for umbrella and marie since the beginning but I don't think it'll happen unless they get some magical funding

That makes sense for it to be there at the beginning but, why continue to create more and more assets for non-playble characters.
and funding....we remember the sony deal right?
 
just in case it happens maybe. I don't rule out the possibility completely but I'm not gonna be one to get my hopes up for it
 
They've already said that the next three characters are going to be Umbrella, Marie, and Black Dahlia. They just don't have the money to actually make them yet. (I seem to remember Ravidrath mentioning on NeoGAF that they did have a plan to get them funded tough. I think it was just to use the sales from the PS4 and Vita versions.)

It was several months ago and I don't have the link.

Take this with a grain of salt, but if I remember right he said their plan was to release the PS4 and Vita versions of the game and fund the next three characters + canon story mode with that. The only problem is that it's going to take several months for sales to accumulate (during which they would have to make a different game in order to stay in business) and the characters would have to come as part of an actual SG2 (as in, we'd all have to buy the game again).

That's really interesting to know, even if it's only a rumor! I just wonder, if they really want to continue the serie, why don't they do another indiegogo/kickstarter? I know that they said that they don't want to rely on the players anymore and that last time the cost was underrated, but if they're in a pickle money-wise, it would still be worth a shot. Just put a significantly higher cost to avoid the problem of last time, and if it doesn't work then they don't have any obligation and no harm done! That wouldn't stop them from developping the other smaller game(really curious about that, the survey sent to the kickstarter backers had many sexy idea inside...) AND still get the money from the PS4 Vita version.

There's probably some monetary aspect i'm missing, but if they still want to work on Skullgirls after all those years, then for me it looks like a case of "why not?"
 
I would totally fund another IGG campaign.

As for Marie secretly being in the works...

Fact: The game has unused sound files for unfinished characters. For instance, Eliza has tag-in calls for Marie and Umbrella.
Fact: Lab Zero is amazing.

One can only conclude that Lab Zero is a clever company for planning ahead for any of the possible futures (darkest timeline being the company is destroyed when California sinks into the Pacific ocean). I don't want to guess or pry into their financial situation, though. As Hive would say, it is "none of your beeswax."
