Welcome back to PlayStation Underground, our online show about video games! Today, we go underground with Skullgirls: 2nd Encore, a spectacular fighting game with a ton of personality that's coming to PS4, and PS Vita soon after.
We crash on the couch with Lab Zero Games Designer Earl Gertwagen, who decimates us with the newest characters coming to the Skullgirls roster. These up-and-coming fighters include a wrestler inspired by Old English epic poetry, and a robotic cat girl. Truly, few fighting game lineups have quite this much flavor.
Vince goes in-depth on the PC version of Skullgirls: 2nd Encore.
I love this game. It's not perfect - as no fighting game ever will be - but it takes so many good ideas for gameplay mechanics and makes them work. So much so, in fact, that every other fighting game on the market should be taking notes.
Seriously, the fact that the Infinite Prevention System exists only to stop people who abuse the exact same input strings - thus keeping long combos part of the game - is nothing short of inspired. That, and who else allows you to overlay hit / hurt / collision boxes on characters during practice modes?
Made by fighting game players, for fighting game players.
We continue with the round of Xbox 360 games that are added backwards compatibility on the Xbox One; in this case we speak of Skullgirls Encore an arcade fighting game that had a good acceptance in the Xbox 360.
Currently, the studio Autum Games does not have a release date so we can play this title on Xbox One, but if they give confirmation of its arrival via Twitter.
So we can only hope to continue to complete the list, recently we learned that in August we will have important news regarding this topic
Stephen East writes: "SkullGirls is unique in the world of crowdfunding in that the developers Reverge Labs had already released the game. The game was co-published and financed by Autumn Games and Konami however due to a series of events, including a lawsuit, the development team disbanded only to later reform under the name Lab Zero Games. Back with Autumn Games, who now own the Skullgirls brand completely, the plan was to support the game with updates and more content but due to the the litigation that Autumn Games were still under the funding dried up; and thus the need for the IndieGogo campaign."
Skullgirls Vita will be awesome. I wish it got more Fighting games. I was sad Pocket Rumble never came to Vita.
