April 2025
Alright, let’s get this out of the way—Skullgirls 2nd Encore used to be the cool kid at the 2D fighter table, the one with hand-drawn animation, a killer soundtrack, and a seriously shady sense of humor. But then, for reasons that defy all logic, the devs decided to scrub away every last ounce of edge the game had. We're talking about the DLC content disappearing like a bad ex, the sexualized characters being wiped clean (even though, let's be real, that was basically the game's whole appeal in the first place), and don’t even get me started on the history edits. They removed references to the Second World War and cleaned up the ♥♥♥ storyline to avoid too much "police brutality" (because yeah, that’s what we all need, right? A sanitized history lesson). Oh, and they also removed the Russian announcer’s voice, clearly because of the war with Ukraine. This game, which had nothing to do with it, now has everything to do with it. It's still a playable fighter, sure, but calling this mess "unchanged" is like saying a cake is still a cake after you pour bleach on it. QUALIFICATION 9/10 NAZIS

As a longtime fan of 2D fighting games and a huge advocate for the Marvel vs. Capcom series, I found Skullgirls to be one of my favorite fighters of all time! The game play is fast-paced and snappy, with a unique stylized aesthetic and stellar character designs. I'm a fan of how you can really customize the game you play--there's a character play-style for everyone! I'm so glad it's getting some new content, it's been a long time coming. This game is a timeless classic that I'm still playing around eleven years after its initial release. Long live Skullgirls!
