Robo-Fortune SPOILERS - Robo-Fortune Story Mode Discussion

I caught that too.

Not too difficult to notice since that is THE scene from that movie.
lol I just thought it was hilarious because that of all things was referenced
 
this was the best story mode

Wow I can't believe Robo-Fortune has the highest combined kill count on the entire roster.
What do you mean highest? Nothing of value was actually lost.
 
How would Cerebella survive the Robot Apocalypse?
 
Magma please I have no idea what you're saying right now omfg

Hold on, I need to actually count... Beowulf/Eliza/Painwheel/Valentine/Filia/Fortune/Marie/Future Extras vs Fortune/Cerebella/Filia/Squigly/Marie/Double/Aeon/Venus/"Crimson Scourge," so I think Eliza slightly takes it. I don't think Painwheel, Peacock, Double, or Valentine left any survivors, either, and Peacock kills the entire mafia off-camera. And then there's Marie vs Skyscraper. Does Double get kills for manipulating people into becoming Skullgirls, or are those just assists? And how does Squigly count, anyway? She keeps coming back.

Robo's definitely right up there, though, I'll give her that.

Well, Diamond Deflector works on lasers, so... Plus, this is one of a few Story Modes where she didn't get beat up.
 
Robo-Fortune destroyed all of civilization at the end of the story, wtf dude I ain't just talking about the the playable cast holy shit
 
I thought you were making a joke to Robo fortune wiping out the Indiegogo characters. My bad.

Well, Venus and Aeon the story says that the Skullheart exists to spread death. Then the goddesses mention that they have done their work.

So it is implied that Robo-Kitty destroyed the world.

The row of giant Robo-Fortunes is a reference to the flaming giants from Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind

Also can be confused for that flashback in Big O.

Fun story mode, really enjoyed the mechas, shame that new background isn't a new stage, looking forward to playable Brain Drain.
hey I can dream

I want to hi-five all the VAs for this, it was awesome to hear everyone finally get a voice and man, I loved Mari and Fortune's exchange.

I lost it at the Zero reference. That'll never not be funny

I just love Edge-Lorde Brain Drain and hope some elements make it into the canon & sequel(s); I can see him being comically serious and having his ego make things go to crap.

And I love Val's note.

Oops, I almost forgot about the voices given they aren't on PC.
Confound it all, I feel left out now!

Amazing story mode even if it was short. For some reason my FAVORITE scene was Brain Drain crouched in front of Robo in casual clothes with a smoke. One because i can't shake the feeling i've seen an almost identical pose before. And two because there's something really intriguing about his personality throughout the story mode.
Even if he was being distorted for the sake of comedy, i think this combined with his semi-canon Fukua patch notes dialogue (which paints him with Slade-esque minion sexual undertones) makes him the most interesting non-playable character in the game barring Marie. He seems like a dark and evil character but he has this youth and virility that makes me want to imagine him with a much younger sounding voice.

What if Fukua HAD a cannon? Would that be canon?
 
The only thing that was canon was that Umbrella and Annie are demonic mirror ghosts
and even that's not canon
 
Because she's non-canon
Clearly, they want to keep the door open for Robo being canon
 
I just finished Robo-Fortune's story mode (I know I'm late... I'm on PC, didn't check if she was on Steam until now).
I'm not much of a fan of it, it was just a lot of memes and jokes, which I didn't very much enjoy.
There didn't seem to be much dialogue either, although that might have just been me.
I really liked the art, though, and I enjoyed seeing Brain Drain more.

Valentine's report really puts her personality in a different perspective. That was probably the funniest part for me.

Loved the art and enjoyed several of the references(Nausicaa, NGE etc.). It's a bitter sweet ending when you think about this being the last glimpse of the Skullgirls world for a very long time though. Thanks Lab Zero, it was a great ride.

I like R. Fortune ( yeah was to short that what i expected) i was a smart move to "not mess with the cannon and make entertaining" love all the Megaman, Astroboy references, and the final scene with Annie and all the "top 3rd characters" for the IGG was totallky cool!
 
I wasn't entirely sure what to make of this story mode for a bit, but then I read 'Dramatic paws' and lost it in the best possible sense of the word.

Did anyone else find Marie incredible easy to beat as R.Fortune?
Also, this one breaks the trend of Cerebella being in every DLC story and Valentine only having a speaking role in every other DLC story. I was wondering if they'd keep that up, but I guess not.

Marie is -2 levels of difficulty compared to the bot difficulty in story modes as of Robo-Fortune update, that might have been a factor.

Also, this would be a pretty neat stage. I like the color scheme more than what Lab 8 has, personally.

Also also, even though the story is obviously a non-serious one, I do like what it did tell us about Brain Drain and Robo-Fortune regardless of the story itself.

About Robo, we were shown that she is loyal to Brain Drain, making her what can be considered his presence in the roster (as opposed to Painwheel who actively struggles to cut all ties with Lab 0). Was only half joking when I called it Brain Drain's story mode, as it makes sense that he'd discreetly puppeteer actions from the backstage rather than personally fighting on the front line.

About Brain Drain, we now know his work is neither "anti-hero aiming to rid the world of the Skullgirl, no matter what questionable methods are used" nor "only cares to study the skullheart, for science!", but is instead all about "I'll show them all!" and world domination/destruction. I wonder if Geiger approves. I wonder if Geiger even knows.

Everyone knew Lab 0 was gonna look better than Lab 8.

Brain Drain's got that whole Power Rangers villain aesthetic going on.

I like how Brain Drain's office has horizontal pylons below the windows, it mirrors the design of his head with the spikes surrounding the rim of his see-through crown. Pretty sure its an intentional thing. details like this are why I have so much appreciation for IRL Lab Zero

I made sure to play 2 levels higher than I mostly play Story modes with chars I don't know, and she was still hella easy to beat compared to other times.

First form - Spam Lazor

Second Form - Spam HP

Third Form - One Super Lazor and ded.
 
I can somewhat relate. I played on Nightmare, and while Beowulf took me three tries to beat, everyone else including Marie was defeated in the first attempt.

Can't say that I mind, though. The last thing I think when starting a story mode is "oh boy, I can't wait to fight Marie!".
 
If we don't have to put spoiler tags even from the beginning of its release, shouldn't the "SPOILERS" part of the title be removed?
