Skullgirls Stage & Background Discussion

interesting things about beo's stage currently:

Mrs. Victoria, Persona's character from maplecrest, a bunch of other schoolkids from maplecrest, a spooky guy in a trenchcoat and fedora, and an Abraham Lincoln looking man are a few notables from the crowd..

Good eyes! I wrote thr crowd off as a bunch of blurry nobodies!
And I didn't even know Persona had a character...

All of the Dolchebon NPCs make another appearance in the crowd too. You might recognize some of these guys from the Streets of New Meridian. (Steadfoot can also be seen on a balcony in Rooftops)

A few days ago in the last labzero stream, blackbookalpha was in twitch chat and shared a pic of what the Dolchebon stage would have looked like. It was basically outside a fancy restaurant in the evening. I didnt save the pic unfortunately since I hadn't seen it around before.

I'm also hoping the dlc chara banners will circle around on stage shake to show ileum, adam, dahlia etc but not expecting it since that would probably require more 3D stuff than most stages currently do.
 
Here yall go, more concepts from Alpha back in the day.

Stages:

His try at a Boss character. The way he explained it was there were multiple owners of the skullheart in the past, so why not try and design one of them?

What is this War Memorial and Onniongrad?

Onniongrad was a concept sketch of a stage by Alex from waaaaay back, its was like tiny people living in giant onion houses with one chill looking gigan farmer. It was pretty wierd looking and definitely doesnt match the vibe of current SG but it gets on the list because I'm being greedy and listing things i want.

If i remember right Scythana fought the egrets at the war memorial or was arrested there, or was arrested for doing something there idk. Also the horrible secret Isaac discovers under Canopolis might have been under the memorial, but very well could just be made up by a fan, i cant remember where i read it
 
The character panels in NMO seems to have changed for other unreleased characters and seems animated/reacting to tremor on the stage, meaning that those will probably appears at random like the NPC in the casino and ball stage, it is quite cool! It's also nice to see that these aren't forgotten even if the Skullgirls project is almost finished!

There's two sets of images. The stage alternates between them every time you choose it.
Umbrella, Roxie, Minette, Aeon, Hubrecht and Ottomo are one set.
Black Dahlia, Isaac, Stanley, Annie, Beatrix and Scythana are the other.
(The ones on the edges like Andy, Yu Wan, Adam, etc don't change currently)

There's a bunch of other stuff too. A neat touch is depending on who you pick in your first character slot some people in the crowd will wave signs when you do cool stuff. Painwheel has stuff like "MUST KILL" "ARRGHH". Eliza has "Yes, I AM RICH", etc. Robo-Fortune's signs are all in Russian ;D
 
I didn't noticed, but those signs are an excellent idea indeed! With all those cool touches, i'm really curious about how the stage music will sound!

I wouldn't have guessed that Robo-fortune were Russian! We'll need a translator the day she'll appear...
 
Sure, Maple Crest gets much love from me, but it doesn't compare to the amazingly awesome Grand Cathedral.

What's better than duking it out in the middle of a church to beautifully crafted music?
 
looking at the 2D version of NMO arena keeps making me think of KLK with the camera flashes looking like stars

Early version of the Streets of New Meridian and Lab 0.
But also a cool sunny town level and a very rough but cool creepy skull temple.
 
I really wish the PS3 would have 2d versions of the stages. It sure would look cool.
I wonder how the empty version of beowulf stage will sound...

Nah, never gonna happen just for PC ( for people who doesn´t have optimized resources ), console versions are optimize for running smoothing etc.
 
I'd assume a Marie banner would just be there to accommodate the playable version of boss Marie. Better just to have a graphic for that circumstance than to risk the stage glitching out.
 
To save you straining your eyes:

As Mike said, Marie just has a banner to prevent crashes and since she has no official action portrait like the rest of the cast she gets a doodle banner. Robo's will be replaced with a real banner when she gets her official art.
Annie is in there because she's obviously a secret April Fools character and will be fully playable like Fukua.

Okay so, It's apparently confirmed that Brain Drain is from Motherland Russia.
I mean, look at the signs that is supporting Robo-Fortune.
Oh boy, @Shockdingo, your dreams came true all of the sudden
