As usual, Salty Cupcakes was held last night and brought with it a slew of changes to Skullgirls. @Makross was kind enough to record all the new reveals and cut them together into a single video for us.

There's four main sections to the video so feel free to skip to the parts that interest you!

0:00 - Discussion of the mired status of the console patch and Mike's new jacket.
8:00 - Mike walks through the 30 or so NPCs added to the River King Casino stage.
12:55 - IndieGoGo custom color palettes. Squigly, MsFortune and Valentine all get one new palette each and these will be available free of charge to everyone who owns the game.
14:40 - Big Band changes. These include some new hitboxes, an early look at his taunt and winpose plus an interesting mechanic on his tambourine special that gets more hits if you shake the stick while it's active.

I'm digging the Orchid color.
 
The video is awesome! Big Band and the NPC look incredible! Although I did catch a guy that has a sentient tongue. O_O
 
I love the NPCs so much. I can't wait until the patch drops so I can go into training and look at all the cool new additions in the casino (and Beatrix's surprise inclusion too!). And finally, Space Jazz makes it grand appearance. Apparently
Tympani Buster will be a super....Hope to see that in a Salty C. soon
 
I can't wait to see what the other palettes will look like. With all the new palettes and characters being added it'll feel like a brand new game.
