So Skullgirls is this new indie fighting game that came out on the 10th. It's definitely one of my new favorite games. It's for Xbox and PS3, and there's going to be a DLC coming out soon. It has some great characters like:  Peacock, she's a young orphan who has been turned into a cyborg by slave masters and the medical mafia. All of her moves are based off of 30s cartoons and she's kind of an overall badass.  Painwheel, who was created in the same lab as Peacock. She gives off a really strong Voldo from Soulcaliber vibe and is the only character who can actually fly around for a lengthy amount of time.  And Double, a mysterious creature who can take the form of anyone or anything, but normally keeps the visage of a smiling nun. She takes all of her moves from all the other characters and has some of the most bizarre special moves. So yeah. You should buy this if you can, because it's pretty fucking fantastic.

Here's my issue with Skullgirls. Rather, with the character designs. Peacock and Double are great. Cerebella's pretty cool. Painwheel in my opinion less so, but a killer zombie bioweapon chick does fit with this world of crazy monsters and fascist regimes. Valentine is... okay, she's a sexy nurse. But the katana-hilted hacksaw is a cool weapon, and they at least made an effort to make her look sorta creepy instead of just completely sliding into Helloooooooo Nurse territory. Filia's design isn't too interesting, and the killer hair thing is slightly overdone, but she can kind of get away with it because the main character is always the least interesting in fighting games.
Umbrella and Parasoul are boring. Moving on.
Miss Fortune. Miss Fortune is a catgirl.
Yes, yes, her body is in multiple pieces but she's still alive. I get that, and it's a cool gimmick for a character. But in terms of her actual character design, she's pretty much just a catgirl.
I don't have a problem with catgirls. It's just that Skullgirls seems to be trying to go for a slightly creepy angle, in that most of the characters are some sort of monster, and the character designs aren't doing a great job of that.

well,Miss Fortune was aparently part of a gang of dagonian thieves and now lives in little innsmouth, so thats atleast something.
can't really say I got a favorite nor one that I really dislike, so hopefully will the dlc's bring something that stands out from the rest.(probably won't buy it even if it those, not much for fighting games.)

soo, If I got this right (please corect me if I'm wrong.) do you get for about $15 a fighting game with both story and vs mode with 6 characters and a 7th one that uses moves from the other 6 ones?
I don't want to be the person on this forum that hates everything, but I can't say that I would buy that even if it was 75% sale on steam.
