The canon info thread - what we know

And here comes the king

 

OK, from the new origins story on mobile:

King franz had the conquest UMBRELLA, Eoberung

Queen Nancy wish of peace was impure because she didn't trust his husband to be able to accomplish peace

Umbrella has never been told why her mother became the Skullgirl

Big band, Panzerfaustand and ileum were in the fight against Queen Nancy

Queen Nancy was way more powerful Skulgirl than any of her predecessors

Queen Nancy and King Franz killed each other

 

Conquest's (Eoberung) design looks pretty dope.

 

I think the most terrifying part is that it took exactly 1 week of terror for everyone to realize how much a threat she was. 7 days....how much carnage did she do in such a short time?

 

I would think everyone already knows any new Skullgirl is automatically a threat.

 

That's not the point I was trying to make. It took 3 countries at war to not only stop fighting, focus all efforts on her alone...and they still almost lost. All those dead bodies lost in the brutal war must have gave her almost unlimited power

 

Man, I have missed chunks of this thread since I didn't follow Skullgirls mobile closely. I never realized that we got to see more of Parasoul's family! I love Queen Nancy's design!

 

Avian confirmed in movile that Nancy was way more powerful than any previous skullgirl and that they were not prepared for her being so powerful.

 

THE PROMISED DAY AT LAST

 

Bet you it's just Filia waking up with Samson on her head, still not answering any questions about how he got there.

 

Not this time

 

Well I'll be damned. For once we might really get some actual lore and not just a retelling of things we already know.

 

Alright, update is live and im charging through now.

Story begins one year ago from the present, with Samson and his host, Dog, looking for a place to stay after getting tired of the street life and lack of shelter. They run into Carol, who finds them cute and wants to show them both to Filia. Carol would take them, but her family is allergic. Filia mentions that the duo could be more satisfyingsecurity than the thugs her good Uncle Vitale beinga around, and strikes a deal. Filia's parents aren'tso cool with parasites, however, so Filia tells Samson to lay low if they are stick around. (Its also noted that a parasite leaving a host is gonna end very badly for the host in question, and parasites only bail as a last resort because of this.) Nonetheless, Dog and Samson are welcomed into the Medici estate.

A year passes, Samson tries to get Filia out the house since she was grieving over Carol's disappearance. But despite his efforts, he only ends up reminding her of her missing friend. Samson considers leaving but is interrupted when a surprise Marie comes crashing in to scratch a few Medicis off her list. Filia pleads with her not to harm them, especially since they cut ties with Vitale and his crew ages ago, but Marie is determined to end the entire bloodline single handedly. However somethingweird happens...Marie seems to recall Filia and Samson from somewhere and stops her attack, demanding that she and her family should leave New Meridian at once of they value their lives, since there will be no mercy on their 2nd encounter. Samson ends up blowing his cover, but the Medicis welcome him, glad that he helped save their lives by confronting the Skullgirl.

Later that same evening, as Filia's parents begin packing, they are met by Vitale and Ottomo, surprised to see a Medici who survied the skullgirls onslaught...and then extremely suspicious when he noticed they were packing up. Vitale doesnt waste time before making his move, accusing them of colluding with the skullgirl and....acting accordingly. Just like with the Contiellos, the Medicis spare no quarter for those they believe ally with the Skullgirl. Filia is no different, as Ottomo opens fire on her. Samson, enraged, tries to fight, but is struck down, Dog killed in cold blood. Samson survives, and realizes Filia is barely breathing. With his host gone and not a lot of time left for Filia, Samson bonds with her and gets her to safety. But once Filia finally regains consciousness, she has complete amnesia, much to Samson dismay. And from there, the story ends.

 

after looking it up online . . .

it sure looks like Samson has been rewritten as being way more noble kindhearted over his earlier/prototype forms, where he's usually more like huge, violent, loud-talking jerk or even outright villainous.

 

Oh yeah i forgot to add pictures to my synopsis.

Yeah I don't like this retcon at all. Turns out Filia was always sweet and innocent the whole time, just so happened to be totally disconnected from the mafia, and Samson's a hero? Come on, If there's no skeletons in anyone's closet here, why wouldn't Samson just tell her everything instead of leaving her in the dark?

I have a very, very, very hard time believing this is what Alex originally wrote, given how heavily implied it was that there were supposed to be some dark secrets.

 

with the origin story showing up now, I dug around and found an old synopsis by Alex for SG from 2006 (i guess a lot can change in 13 years)

Remember when Samson was described as a "totally unethical entity"? And things with Filia losing her memory get DAAAARK.

Don't forget alex also originally wrote peacock to be a villain, Cerebella to have an ending where vitale falls in love with cerebella and starys murdering everyone around him,etc. Also, i believe in one ending it was implied Filia ASKED for her memories to be wiped.

Samson still has a bunch of skeletons in his closetif Leviathans grudge is anythingto go bye, maybe something willcome of that

A frame from one of the story modes in SGE in a blink and you miss it transition. Seems like the forshadowing for Dog and Samson qere already in place
