The Palettes of Skullgirls

One of Squigly's palettes is a black one... I think it may be her in gothic wear, or mourning...
 
I just noticed that Big Band's valves look a lot like the buttons on an arcade stick, especially in the video screenshot. Was this intentional (as a double nod to instruments and fight sticks?)

Boss Marie got a new IGG pallete and you can only see it during Marie 300% mode or Nightmare difficulty on Arcade mode.

well there haven't been any pokemon palettes (or any nintendo palettes as far as I know), so Big Band getting one is quite a precedent.

As much as I'd like Blaziken Scythana, not every palette has to be a reference.

What about Samus Parasoul and Ditto Double?

Someone remembers Blaziken Scythana. I'm so happy.

Also, any word on what that Marie palette is supposed to be a reference to (or if its a reference)? I'm thinking maybe Trigon Raven? Red skin, black hair, purple dress, red eyes.

I heard its a reference to the McGee Alice in Wonderland games.

No, the NES Justin Bailey Samus. Is still Samus.
My bad. I've heard so many people in the past say the Armstrong was Samus I forgot about Justin Bailey.

Parasoul has a FMA palette and a metroid palette.

And Alice has a blue dress. And human skin. And I think brown hair.
 
tanner, I don't know how to tell you this, but, the chronotrigger palette is actually a Big Band-aid palette
 
the pink BB palette just looks like the underside of a band-aid with the adhesive sides on the left and right and the little absorbent pad down the middle.

not saying it isn't Gato but I am saying I CAN'T not see a Big Band-aid.
 
The Skullgirls Wikia just got a nice, crispy collage of all the Big Band palettes revealed thus far.

Pretty sure Big Band got a new palette that's Blacker Baron, which is funny, because Schmeckie had a Blacker Baron avatar at one point.
 
An unplayable boss getting an alternate palette is so weird.
 
So here are so more pre-release palettes that never made it to the final version.
I don't know if these are references or not but... here they are.

Pretty sure that Fortune one might be the Thundercats reboot version of Cheetara.

On last night's Lab Zero stream, Brady said that BB's color palette No. 2 is based on Kolchak the Night Stalker. It was at the very end of the stream archive.

I believe the orange colors were confirmed by Mike to be original and not based on anything.

That Bella color remains my favorite color for her and i'm still a bit bummed that it's not in the game. =/
I do hope that the characters get a few more colors sometime down the road as i'd easily pay for this one.

I always thought Painwheel Dia de Muertos was Toph from Avatar.

Also here's the Source (at 04:06:55)
 
What's the reference for the Fortune quoted above? As much as I love Celty Fortune, I'd really prefer to use that one.

And an edit: Is Fortune's 5th palette original or is it supposed to reference Len/Rin Kagamine? Different places say different things so I'm not sure.

If it isn't said so in this thread the answer is likely "Officially no", but nothing's stopping you from perceiving it as such.

I make an effort that every character has a black/white/gold palette. Several of them end up not making final pass, though.
 
So I still say that Big Band's new purple palette is A Pimp Named Slickback
even if official (read: Mike Z) sources claim that it is "Big Pimpin'"

Big Band #2 is indeed Kolchak the Night Stalker. I was adamant about this one going in there. I'm pretty sure #3 is actually another (non anime) detective, though he'll be harder to identify. I'm a big mystery fan, so I wrote a lot of quotes based on famous mystery authors writings for Big Band that I don't know if they used or not in his dialogue.

Filia palette #22 isn't a backer palette but was my palette from early on. It's for one of my characters outside Skullgirls.

Please please tell me there is a reference to Sherlock Holmes's three pipe problem.
