The Palettes of Skullgirls

Which of these new colors are Indiegogo/Staff-Picked? In particular the influx of new Kill La Kill ones. I have been trying to guess them based on what Mike Z said in the video, so using Squigly as an example I'm guessing that the Sable one is Indiegogo, the Beetlejuice one is staff-picked and the Kill La Kill one (along with all of the new Kill La Kill palettes across the other characters) is also staff-picked?

Speaking of Sable, here is a picture of the character and a link to the indie game she's from:

Because just like me, a lot of people were dissapointed it wasn't there before, now balance has returned to the world, and the Kill la Kill one made me smile like an idiot out of joy.

Still dissapointed that Blonde Squigly is not longer there tho...
 
Omfg yes! ZONE is f*cking awesome, it even was thanks to him i found out about the game in the first place, dat Filia flash.

Edit: it's funny to think about the Kill la Kill colors like the actual plot of the anime, means Squigly killed Filia's father and came along to f*ck everything up and made Filia and Samson transform into Painwheel, and much later they had to defeat Eliza and with the help of Peacock, Cerebella and Big Band.

If Parasoul had a Satsuki Palette Swap then this would be even funnier, because she and Filia where mortal enemies by the first part to then join up to ruin Eliza's life (would also mean Eliza is their mother)

@BallotBoxer - Sorry for the mystery! I know you've been keeping close track of the number of palettes for each character. Hopefully this makes your life a little easier. ;P
Hehe, the color substitutions (i.e. Beowulf Batman blinking in and out of existence) had me confused there, but I'm more than thrilled to see everyone expand to 25 colors. It's like a new wing at the museum just opened up. I can now happily retire my palette abacus.

(Speaking of palette obsession, before I came to Skullheart look at my how my madness was manifesting for UMvC3. All those Gamespot article links are dead, but my thread kept that information alive.)

What's the ratio on original to reference palettes?

Sometimes, there's just not enough room to have all the palettes they create

Other times, it's for a gameplay reason that the palette can't be used <see: Earthworm Jim!Squigly>

According to Zone's tweet,yes.
Zone said Sekhmet is based on Trigon in that palette as well.

Original : Reference
Filia: 14 : 11
Cerebella: 11 : 12 (+2 flags)
Peacock: 10 : 15
Parasoul: 10 : 15
Ms. Fortune: 5 : 17 (+2 consoles, +1 fan character)
Painwheel: 14 : 11
Valentine: 10 : 15
Double: 16 : 9
Squigly: 10 : 13 (+1 ZONE, ~1 not sure what new #5 is)
Big Band: 5 : 17 (+2 consoles, +1 Smooth Criminal!)
Fukua: 4 : 20 (+1 Original joke character)
Eliza: 7 : 17 (+1 Cleopatra)
Beowulf: 8 : 13 (+2 Wrestlers, ~2 Not sure what #7 and #19 is)
Robo-Fortune: 2 : 9 (~1 not sure what #10 is)
TOTAL: 126 : 194 : 17 / 337

Skullgirls references, holiday references and generic references (e.g, Hot Rod, Indian Peafowl, blood ect.) I counted as original.

So @Muro, you have a Joker Peacock to go with Harley Cere

On a scale of "AHHHHHH" to "HOLY SHIT", how happy are you
 
Here's hoping the palette batch will not lead to some instances of confusion in the heat of battle during mirror situations. A few of the new palettes are particularly similar to already existing ones (apparently mostly due to Alex being all for some Kill La Kill action). I use none of those so it won't affect me either way, though I find it only fair to point out. Notable examples of old (left) versus similar new (right) below.

Somewhere between "MOTHER OF GOD" and "EVERYONE GETS A ROUND ON ME".

I'm also curious who's the Indiegogo backer that made this a reality.

I think the only one out of those that might cause some confusion would be the Bella color imo
 
Important to note that Dr Doom Eliza's blood is pink. I don't think the two Val colors are similar at all. And I think the Filia/Fukua ones are different enough for it to not be a problem, i.e. hair color and Fukua having her sprites. That's technically not a mirror anyway.

Agreed with Domo that the Bella colors are pretty close, though. There are some big differences, but the white of the arms are fairly similar.

I agree they're not that easy to confuse in a "both players are idling next to each other" situation.

However, heat of battle + "both players in the corner, the cornered one tries to ground tech away from it, both call assists and decide on their next action depending on where they see their character in that fraction of a second" situation... A bit more tricky.

Hence, making sure it's brought up while the palette batch is still a beta thing. Ultimately, I trust your judgement.
 
you guys really outdid yourselves on some of these new palettes

they're really great looking!

Hey guys, look, Valentine has a Sean palette now
 
I wonder if The Great Recoloring Part II will add any more color palettes, I'd be willing to dish out a few shekels for another bundle.

All those unfulfilled button combinations!
 
that Alt. Felicia palette for Ms. Fortune looks like Akuma
 
Why does fukua keep getting solid color palettes.

How hard are you going to be hasslin for a Shimakaze palette since you love the kankles?
 
Gimmie$20$Dolla said:

Because a common methodology to visually describing that someone or something is a non-scientific clone is to make them a solid color, and Fukua's palettes are based on clones from all over fiction, even those that are non-scientific in origin.

I honestly don't think any of the cast really fit for a Kancolle colour.

Funnily enough, War Machine Fukua looks pretty Abyssal to me.

I'd like to imagine customizations for Panzerfaust to have a ship hull with a twin gun to replace his tank arm.
