Point. I do think that a character in this universe does need to have some kind of unique twist to their design, though - something that not everyone could think of. Like Hubrecht being so strong he doesn't realize he's hurting you, or Aeon literally having an hourglass figure.

A lot of Skullgirls fan characters are seriously lacking in bizarreness. Skullgirls has a schoolgirl with a second face on the back of her head and a Baroness-looking princess with a living umbrella that shoots flames, and those are by far the most "normal" characters in the game. If you wanna...

Lab Zero injecting Skullgirl blood into a dude purely in the interest of science is a good subject for a what-if story, I think. You could do something cool with that. (Personally I think the results would be similar to mixing two incompatible blood types - blood clumping, involuntary muscle...

Looking for a girl who enjoys having five-hour conversations with me about how Xenogears is the greatest accomplishment of mankind. Must have at least three cybernetic augmentations.

I mean, I guess you can write a character who's really closely related to one of the canon characters, but it's really damn hard to do successfully. You gotta put the character through the wringer and make sure that there's absolutely nothing in the story that contradicts their existence...

Maybe Fukua is actually just a suit of powered armor then?

Pun names are a fad that started when the Renoirs named their daughter "Parasoul." Now everyone's doing it.

Just practice, man! Practice drawing every day for years and years, neglecting all other aspects of your life. Keep it up long enough and one day you too will cry when you drink!

Blocking is crucial. You can know the best combo in the world but it won't count for shit if you can't block. The way I learned to block was to go into beginner lobbies and purposefully lose, but try to block as many attacks as I could. Just do that until blocking becomes natural. EDIT: Also...

I think what I love the most is the team's commitment to the game. You can really feel the passion that everybody has for the project. Also the character designs and animation are fucking awesome

Skullgirls characters gotta have pun names, right? :P Yeah the initial concept was that she'd be one of those annoying minor recurring villains who shows up at the worst possible time to make the good guys' lives miserable. I have trouble making genuinely nice characters - even when I try to, I...

Inspired by Skullgirls' animation concepts, I threw together some quick stuff for Mourningstar:

You're right, I should probably update her bio a little bit more when I get the chance, maybe edit it with some fun stats and junk. Thanks a lot for taking the time to read! Mourningstar has sort of turned into my... mascot, I guess? I draw her a lot but I haven't been actually using her much...

Right now I'm using Squig Band, but I'm pretty hype for all the upcoming characters too. We'll see how that goes. Squigly just feels like she was designed for me, both in terms of gameplay (Fuckin' stance characters, man) and the way she looks. She's one of my favorite fightgame characters of...

Geez, thanks! Speaking of, here's a drawing I made of her a while back: If there's any interest in it, maybe I'll post some more doodles of her in here.

Yeah I don't actually create fan characters a lot, but I think the key is to make a character who isn't defined by their relationships to canon characters. You obviously want some connection with the universe, but your character's gotta be able to stand on their own and tell their own story even...

Squigly (Drag n' Bite) Big Band (H Brass Knuckles)

I like this because it turns Venus and Aeon into sitcom roommates.

I vote a resounding "Hell yes." I also propose that she get a Ryuko palette.

I hope she stays, but even if she doesn't, she's just gotta show up in Robo-Fortune's story mode somewhere.
