I dunno, gathering sympathy for Brain Drain is going to be a tough climb. I mean, he can't plead innocence for Painwheel. He knew she was kidnapped, he's been in her mind with his psychic powers.

The biggest story hurdle I'm interesting in seeing is how Brain Drain even becomes aware of Nadia Fortune to inspire him to make a superior robot version.

maybe she develops free will, who knows.
Yeah, like a Number 5 in Short Circuit (1986) kind of thing. Robo does a tour around town (that's why her stage is a train), pummeling the cast collecting battle data, but like Brain Drain's other project, eventually rebels.

Or, Robo-Fortune story mode from an alternate universe:

Robo-Fortune, the latest in a series of feral robot replicants in search of the Skullgirl, goes berserk, tearing a scar of destruction across New Meridian. Ms. Fortune is blamed and imprisoned by the Black Egrets. It is up to a plucky Dagonian waitress to infiltrate the mysterious Lab 0 and pilot a Robo-Fortune prototype to save her friend and the city.

I actually don't think they should go the totally sympathetic route for Brain Drain, but rather show he's very much human still, and has faults, but those faults actually make him more dangerous and obsessive due to a drive to keep up appearances of being advanced and Post-Human Perfection. I think he shouldn't be totally evil, but he should be a bit human and more than aware and unapologetic of the horrors he's causing as an extremist.

I'm on the opposite boat I want brain drain to be a villain we love to hate like Eliza.

Wasn't even aware this chick was even getting a story mode.
 
Oh man, I would adore using Robo Fortune as an excuse to play through Brain Drain's plot. In a way, it makes more sense than Braino putting himself out there on the battlefield: He's more of a puppet master, behind-the-scenes scientist, no? Better to have robotic minions do all the dirty work.

As for how to get cats on Brain's mind: Well, Valentine does want to capture Kitty for experiments. "Can my robot beat up your stray?" sounds like a pretty standard experiment. Uh, standard for the setting, I mean. Sure...

Ugh, I dunno. I don't want Brain Drain to dominate Robo-Fortune's story like what Annie did to Beowulf.

Holy shit that snuck up on me. I'm so used to waiting months for each character that Robo-Fortune is hitting me like a bullet, and 2nd Encore too? So that means PS4 owners are getting fully voiced story mode along a a whole bunch of other features too right?

The R. Fortune path will be out tomorrow right? but a what time? Midnight for the american time, midnight for my zone, or one universal time?
 
Most likely universal time I know the wait for Beowulf was painful the day he came out due to delays.
 
My PS4 says it will unlock at midnight (GMT -4), but I don't know if it unlocks at the same time for everyone. And even then anyone on another console or PC will have to wait for the update.
 
I can't wait, it's gonna be neat to finally see the last story

I don't know if anything inherently special will happen in this one, maybe it's gonna be about the same ride as the others, but the fact that it's the last story mode of the game is gonna make playing it just feel....eventful
it will be an honor

Robot/computer puns, Brain Drain screen time and playing as Robo-Fortune are special enough for me.

So will there be a delay for Robo like there was for Beowulf? or will it be released right as 2nd encore comes out?
 
Well it's coming out on everything tomorrow unless you are in not-NA/EU or have a 360, if that's what you mean
 
I wish I knew more about tech to understand those likes and dislikes.
 
wait a minute...

Her Blood is 10w-30 Oil? Like the same kind that I use for my freaking lawn (Edit:)mewer?

I mean, it would make some sense because of her chainsaw but, for the rest of her? I think she would need some higher quality oil to keep her parts from getting messed up. Lots of tiny little gears are needed to make a humanoid robot move and stuff.


ALSO CALLED IT. ROBO KITTY'S STORY IS GONNA BE LIKE ROBO KY's. FAULTY PROGRAMMING AND ALL.

I'm surprised that Brain Drain is perceptive enough to realize that shorter people are superior.
His attention to these important details is impressive.

Thankfully he isn't into TOO short of girls and didn't make a Robo-Annie, or we'd have to deal with more DDB hell.. robo-DDB hell...

It's terrifying just thinking about it.

Well...That was a story mode are we allowed to talk about spoliers here?

Honestly it feels like a Non-DLC story. Nothing really happened I guess if you like Brain drain they have some fun with him but thats about it. Literally everything dies in the end so yeah. I dunno I just wanted to send off SG on a higher note then that. but hey joke story. One last thing the story felt..well Lazy i get that shes a joke character but there was like no love like there was in the previous story modes. The best part about her story is her and Brain drain..thats about it.


And with that I guess im off....

But actually tho, no full character funding = no full character story mode.
Really, you should just treat Beowulf's story mode as the last true story of Skullgirls.

And even that story mode is rather... dissatisfying imo

I dont mind it at all being a joke story mode (I kinda expected it) I mind it that it felt lazy. Just cause its a joke story mode doesn't mean they had to get lazy. Money or not there doesn't feel like love was put into RF story (heck in some aspects there's more love in Fukua) Felt more like "We got to rush this out" rather then a half-decent love letter to fans. The RF and MF confrontation could've been amazing what do we get? "..!?" and "..!" I mean really!? You say we should treat Beowulf as the last story well..he wasn't so im not going to treat him like he was the last.

Like Beowulf's talk sprites. Mind me I felt so salty about Beo's Story Mode that I don't give a thing about Robo's.
 
Let me put it this way. I despise this story. I would re-play Eliza's story because That at least didn't leave a bad taste in my mouth. Somethings wrong when I like the story where Cerebella gets brutally killed over a story with a witty talking robot.
 
At least there's bearded Adam. Bearded Adam is better than clean-shaven Beowulf.

Also Annie's role in Robo's Story is much better than her role in Beo's. And there's Isaac too!

I think it might be budget problems, because Robo and Brain Drain's talk sprites are about the same quality as Beo's, just not as obvious.

Y'all crazy man, that story mode was great.

I don't even know where you're coming from with the idea that Fukua's was better, Fukua's was literally "Filia is asleep" "Fukua fights everyone" "Filia wakes up" "Twin Peaks reference". Fukua used up some of Filia's toothpaste but aside from that they didn't have any more interaction than Fortune and Robo.

And, you know, the world ended. There was confirmation of a seven-year cycle, Adam and Stanley and Isaac all got voices and Adam even got a badass beard and eyepatch and Venus and Aeon kinda admitted that the point of the Skull Heart is total global destruction.

I'll give you Beowulf's story, that one's at least debatable, but,
I dunno man, I can't see how someone can be disappointed in this one beyond expecting more than they were promised. For a jokey joke character's jokey story.

I dunno, I liked it.

Wow, other than no interaction with Painwheel the story was exactly what I expected. Even the stinger. I guess because this is what I thought we were getting I liked it more than some.
