    The mega name-meaning and reference thread

    With Alex being an artist, there is one other place, aside from mythology textbooks, where he could have found the name "Taliesin" -- the legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright was of Welsh ancestry, and so something of a Welsh-mythology geek, and he named his home in Wisconsin...

    The Skullheart Map

    Not adding myself just yet -- I'm still too fucking broke to get the game.

    Skullgirls Lore Speculation

    There are clues in the artwork. There's a picture of two people who are most likely supposed to be Filia's parents, and her father is in one of the portraits hanging on the walls of Lorenzo's office. Peacock and Cerebella also have win quotes against Filia that imply the connection pretty...

    Skullgirls Lore Speculation

    What? We know who Filia is -- all the hints indicate that she's a missing Medici scion, apparently Vitale's niece. It's worth pointing out that her name means "daughter" in Latin, so there's an obvious thematic link to the most powerful "Family" in the kingdom (after the Renoirs).

    Crowdfunding General

    Although Sequin Island was rather technologically backwards in the first game -- the whole plot centered around having a top-secret prototype steam engine stolen to power a weapon of mass destruction.

    Shantae Series

    Honestly, I'd just like to see Shantae added to the list of Characters That Otaku Of Color Can Cosplay Better Than Anyone Else. It sucks -- all they've got is Anthy, Cerebella, and Ms. Fortune. Every other popular character is either too male, too white, or too Asian.

    Shantae Series

    If you look closely at the stretch goals, one of the things they apparently want to do is implement voice acting in the cutscenes... Cristina could totally get away with using her Cerebella voice for Shantae.

    Shantae Series

    Yep, seen it happen before. The first week is fast, then there's a lull, and then in the last two or three days everybody who's been sitting and waiting (or trying to scrape their money together before the deadline) fires off. Pretty common on Kickstarter.

    The canon info thread - what we know

    Nadia's human side is meant to be the Skullverse equivalent of Latino/a. Worth noting: Lorenzo's portrait in the Medici Tower stage is obviously of a younger man, but since he had the Life Gem, we can presume that he actually looked like that for a very long time and aged very slowly until he...
