What's your favorite animation in Skullgirls?

All of Painwheel's animations are so visceral.
On that same note I think my favorite is PW's thrown on install. She is not satisfied in slamming your head into the ground, no no no, she also has to pierce a GIANT FREAKING NAIL through it. Not to mention the sound that it makes. So awesome.

Everything about Painwheel makes me wince and cringe in disgust.

Yep, but that's one of the things that got me hooked on this game. Artistically, I really admire the coherence of her design: an entire character themed around brutal pain and suffering.
 
Double's intro, and the 3 Painwheels already posted are my favorites, along with these.

Yup, that's why I love her. For those that haven't figured it out, the 'Ceno' in my screen name is short for Cenobite. Though Lab Zero says that Painwheel color 3 is original, I'll always think of it as skinless Julia from Hellraiser II.

I also forgot to mention...

The Best Thing about Painwheel is that behind all the suffering and brutal pain, is a small girl. A small girl behind a mask,Mental and Physical Conditioning and Pain. That's why Painwheel is one of my favourite characters.
 
Everything about painwheel, but there's also just something about Double's crouching pushblock that I love

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Does this happen so fast to be seen in normal gameplay? I don't remember Valentine doing that while using her counter blockbuster.

yah it happens really fast,
 
It happens when she has a vial loaded.

Without a vial she just pulls out a clipboard and does the thing.
 
print that using one of the costumes with the full bandages as a bra

Never noticed the cloud teleport face. As for the hammer, she's putting it back into Hammerspace. HA HA! JOKES!

Peacock's s.HP looks nice.

Most of peacock's animations are just awesome. I never noticed she hit herself at the end of her airgrab before seeing this thread. There are a lot of subtleties you don't notice unless you watch the game in slow motion.

And I'm just now noticing that there's three different Georges.
 
Because it's not actually fully in the game.

It would have been cool if it has been used. I remember reading somewhere that most of Double's moves are rejected animations from the original characters.

And I'm just now noticing that there's three different Georges.

She has three George attacks, after all, and there are actually four of them. Tommy is missing though.
 
maybe in the future it could be implemented... at least in the pc version (consoles have memory issues... makes me want to open my ps3 and solder some RAM modules on it)

Painwheel's s.hk.

At first it looks like she kicks up and a spike comes out of her foot.

Upon closer examination, she kicks up, grabs her leg. Breaks it 90 degrees backwards and a spike comes from the back of her knee going straight up.

And then yesterday I noticed that there is a nice ripping sound to accompany it.

It is grotesque and awesome.

Peacock is sitting on Tommy
 
Valentine's Whiffed grab. Just that "oh shit" look in her eye is adorable.
 
Do cut animations count? Because I am really sad that Peacock's train-summoning super didn't make it in.

Hell, I even colored a frame just for the sake of seeing this in its full glory. (Kind of.)

She eats a paintbrush. Just straight up eats a goddamn paintbrush.
