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
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?
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.
Bet you it's just Filia waking up with Samson on her head, still not answering any questions about how he got there.
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. Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler 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 . . . Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler 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. Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler
Hot takes incoming (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Hot takes incoming (open) Hot takes incoming (close) 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) Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler Remember when Samson was described as a "totally unethical entity"? And things with Filia losing her memory get DAAAARK.
Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler 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 EDIT: Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler 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
So, uh we had a bit of a surprise today. The patch alert came in today...as well as the patch itself! So ill be digging through the story right now. Spoiler (Move your mouse to the spoiler area to reveal the content) Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler Story begins 14 years ago, with Double delivering her special gift of the Skullheart to the Contiellos. Selene, immediately sensing the danger of having such a bloodstained omen nearby, tries to talk to her husband, Roberto. However, Roberto has a toast and a surprise for her: the first live (lol) performance of Seinna! Just as she finishes her song ends Selene finally gets a moment to talk...or she would have if it wasnt for the sound of Gunfire. Black Dahalia and her goons show up demanding the Skullheart. When Selene feigns ignorance, Seinna is claimed as a hostage. Selene then admits she had recieved the heart and was prepared to hand it over. Dahalia taunts the family name, to which poor Seinna takes offense to. Dahalia is unamused, and shoots her at point blank. Selene, overcome with grief, wishes to save her family. Roberto with his dying breath, commands leviathan to go to Sienna and protect her from becoming a mindless minion. They part ways, and Selene as the Skullgirl begins her counterattack... Squiggly eventuallycomes too...dead as a doornail. Leviathan fills her in on the details but notes some oddities. Zombies are usually under complete control of their masters, and parasites should be much weaker without a living host. Yet both of them are fine...for the most part. The duo decides to confront the skullgirl while trying to stay away from the Medicis. Sienna requests to be called Squiggly for now on, and the two head out. Its not long before Squiggly finds her parents confronting Lorenzo and Dahalia. Squiggly tries to talk some sense into them, but fails, and almost ends up becoming a minion herself due to thr hearts influence. But she is able to stay her ground. However, she doesnt have the heart to off them herself. Out of the blue, reinforcements arrive! D.Violet, Big Band, Panzerfaust, and Annie all arrive on the scene. Selene and her husband retreat, as do Lorenzo and Dahalia to the shadows. Squiggly and the group discuss their next ppan of action, but leviathan is less than thrilled about working with anyone who belongs with the Renoir faction. Annie noticed that Squiggly's parents didnt go all out on her, and suggests to use Squiggly as a lure so they can take them out. Leviathan is HIGH KEY MAD about this but a report comes in about the skullgirl minions hunting down citizens to swell up her army. In a densely populated city, they had to act immediately. Squiggly volunteers, and leviathan solemnly agrees to help her. With their combined might, squiggly and the gang defeat Roberto, and soon after Selene. In her final moments of lucidity, Selene says shes proud of her daughter and fades away. Without the energy of the Skullgirl, squiggly and leviathan crumple to the ground, returning to the sweet sleep of death. Panzerfaust and Big Band kept squiggly a secret from the Labs, lest people like Brain Drain experiment on their bodies extensively. Lorenzo eventually claims squigglys body and holds their mockery funeral, and the teo lie there until Marie rises.
