    Cosplay Skullgirls general cosplay thread.

    Recently, at AX (Anime Expo in L.A.?) a few Canopians stalked the streets: Beowulf, Naked Snake Beowulf (#18), Jax Beowulf (#13), and Beowulf Cerebella

    Fukua Make Fukua a Canon Character?

    Here's the tweet: As a character born from a typo, a joke, I can never accept Fukua into canon. I don't see how she would fit in the universe. She'd be an unstable clone (rapidly age 16 years can't be good) or giving a psychosis to Filia doesn't make sense. Perhaps she can be one of Double's...

    Street Fighter V

    Yeah, it's like they aim high, just in case. In my experience Japanese games often suffer bad PC ports (see Dark Souls series). Is this because consoles are king in Japan? PC is an afterthought? Watching Max's Karin breakdown video And he leads in with a comment about pronunciation confusion...

    Street Fighter V

    The fascinating part of that leak is there was no mention of Necalli. But as you list, it has been on-target for many points so Laura and Zen are likely to come true. Curious to see if Zen will be related to Dhalsim. Like in a Soulcalibur V inherit-their-spot-on-the-roster way (Leixia =...

    Indivisible: Lab Zero's Action-RPG! (General Discussion)

    Late (as always), gotta mention the resplendent logo reveal in the recent Friday blog update: Love the custom typography. Speaking of linguistic symbols, the screenshot demonstrating Razmi's healing spell has a huge, white and magenta colored sahasrara symbol. That's the crown chakra. First...

    Street Fighter V

    Oh? All I can find is he's the "Eldest son of a wealthy Middle Eastern family" from his character card. http://streetfighter.com/characters/rashid/ Of the 17 countries in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is logical, but so is the UAE, and a few others if you go by riches. I wish Capcom would just...

    Street Fighter V

    I dunno, the more I see Karin's new yellow eyes, the more I weirded out by them. They were brown. Did she become a Witcher since Alpha 3? Taunt video from the previous page: surprised Chun-Li didn't say her classic "Gomen'ne!" in her taunt. As for the next character reveal possibly at Brazil...

    Street Fighter V

    Gameplay-wise, Karin looks very interesting. I like Rekka characters. As a character, being stuck in the same trope is disappointing, but I suppose expected. Indeed. It wouldn't be Street Fighter without stereotypes and tropes. And Karin nails the Ojou trope. TV Tropes: Ojou So 4 characters...

    Not 300 dpi, but still quite large. Oh yeah, we've been making things before colors were even finalized. I totally understand. 351 palettes to be baked in the same frame export process is way too much. It is far easier for us to use our own screenshots. As for officially proclaimed...

    Indivisible: Lab Zero's Action-RPG! (General Discussion)

    Looking at the lore aspect of Ajna absorbing Incarnations for her Inner Realm. It implies they are willing to leave their bodies (no Dragonball Z Namekian fusion, please!) or are already incorporeal. Ghosts floating over graves, shadows haunting the corners of a room. Like Skullgirls...

    King of Fighters - General

    KOF XIV looks like the game equivalent of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014). An acquired property squeezed every few years to get something-- anything -- out of it, regardless of quality, to get some quick cash. Yup, this whole project reeks of a sign put up in the front window that reads "Under...

    $25 is a bargain! For anyone sitting on the fence about the DAC, this is how it breaks down into seven folders: ArcadeSticks - almost two dozen high-res fight stick designs Character Art - model sheets and action shots Environment - high-res stage background paintings Frame Dump - the biggest...

    Cremation vs a Skullgirl's Resurrection Abilities

    Cremation may not be popular, but there are other cautious customs: Marie snaps Medici Tower like a breadstick, spilling coffins bound in chains Two reasons why cremation isn't mandatory: Exactly! Double is at the core of the biggest religion in the Canopy Kingdom. Worshippers of the Trinity...

    Skullgirls Lore Speculation

    Transformations are tricky. Selene Contiello looked to turn full Skullgirl the same day she wished for her freshly-slaughtered family to come back. Marie is a mystery, but Nancy Renoir appears to have had a years-long transformation. Basic math demands it: Umbrella is supposed to be like 10 and...

    Anime/Manga General Discussion

    Passing on the original and the light novels is fine. But don't skip Fate/Zero! It is a necessary prequel that colors in a ton of backstory. I'd say it is nearly required watching for Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works. I'm a couple of episodes away from finishing UBW myself. Gorgeous...

    Street Fighter V

    Haha, maybe. Although, I've seen plenty of characters make that "archer" pose Confirm may be too strong of a word, but it lends more credit to it being likely. Ah, okay, so Necalli is from Mexico. The four newbies as per the leak: Rashid (Africa), Zen (India), Laura (Brazil) and then Necalli...

    Don't forget to properly source art! And making it a hyperlink is really helpful. Like so: SKULLGIRLS! ALL! by kaox2 ^ the artist collected even more portraits in this one Now I must pay the art tax so... Checked in on the #スカルガ版深夜の真剣お絵描き60分一本勝負 hashtag (great link that aggregates lots of...

    Street Fighter V

    Rashid looks fantastic! Very Crimson Viper with that high-tech power-suit and scouter look. Perhaps S.I.N. related? Didn't remember the full list so I looked it up the original post: Did they ever say where Necalli was from? I thought he was Brazil or somewhere in South America. So for the...

    Street Fighter V

    Plausible, but to me he's more of an underling than a boss. Besides, Balrog's spot of Shadaloo goon is already occupied by Birdie. It's redundant, like adding Guile after Nash is already there. All the tornados make me think the new character could be a whirling dervish from Turkey. Arms...

    ! We knew Filia's voice, but it looks like that article has revealed Samson: Samson = Takashi Kondo (近藤 隆) Filia = Ayana Taketatsu (竹達 彩奈) According to Wikipedia, he played Faust and Potemkin in the Guilty Gear series, and voiced Suigetsu Hozuki from Naruto.
