Skullgirls – Valentine Unveiled and Characters Delayed to DLC

While those crazy enough to do so are lined up to score sale items at retailers across the United States, the folks over at Reverge Labs have seen fit to unveil a new Skullgirls character on Eurogamer. Valentine, the deadly ninja/nurse hybrid, launches her attacks with a variety of medical equipment, including but not limited to bonesaws and defibrillators, with human corpses thrown into the mix for good measure. In addition to the new info, a nice set of artwork was released for the character as well, but no video exists of her gameplay as of yet. Keep your eyes peeled for more details regarding Valentine in the near future.

In addition, Ravidrath (Peter Bartholow) from Reverge confirmed here on the SRK forums that Squigly and Umbrella didn’t make the cut for the initial game roster, but will appear as early DLC

This wasn’t an easy decision: the game’s budget couldn’t cover 10 characters, we needed bosses, and neither of these characters have a particularly prominent role in the first arc of the story. On top of that, Squigly’s gameplay concept is pretty out there, and couldn’t be accomplished with our existing tech.

We never announced Squigly or Umbrella or said we’d have every character people expected. Nothing was “cut” – they were never planned to be in the initial launch in the first place.

      She plays like a mash-up with a bunch of other ninja characters.

      She has an Izuna Drop, for example.

          YES, thank you. I can’t believe Vega from Street Fighter can do the Izuna Drop but Bang Shishigami from Blazblue cannot! wtf…

          (btw Izuna Drop is the best move of all time 2nd only to Hazama’s Houtenjin, from Blazblue. FACT!)

        I am so SO very excited for this, not to mention keeping my fingers crossed for at least a vague dialog reference to TF2′s Medic or Dr. McNinja.
        Ninja character fusion sounds like it has a lot of potential.
        Really excited to see what she plays like and with Umbrella and Squigly out of the picture for now, I’m excited to see who the last launch date character is.

    Umbrella and Squigly being cut from the roster for Valentine is disappointing.

    I was far more interested in them than her.

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_RVTCDH7KD4LOBP22XNRB2J56TM Sean O'donovan

      Nurse ninja is better than everything, even though I was pretty curious about Squiggly (even more so after reading this)

      Good to hear they’re early DLC, but I have to wonder what the Skullgirls version of “early” is lol.

      • Snow Loss

        I agree with you on Squiggly, her concept art seemed interesting I suppose, but something just seemed off about her in comparison to the rest of the cast.
        As for Umbrella… I was not looking forward to her anyway.  Even if she played completely different than Parasol, I personally just find kid characters agitating 90% of the time.
        Either way though I’m was and am still hyped as all hell for this to finally release.

          Umbrella seemed like she would be a Parasoul clone

      I agree, chooch. This nurse chick is really generic, while squiggly’s concept art stuff made her seem extremely potent. Umbrella was boring too, though, dont care about her.

      • http://twitter.com/MostEffectual Chooch

        The reason why I mentioned Umbrella is because I was interested in what they would do with her to differentiate her from Parasoul (who I thought was relatively uninteresting) and her design doesn’t really put me off like a lot of the other characters.

  • jermaine_williams1389

    A game needs bosses so they added the bosses instead of 2 side characters.

    Plus Ravidrath said that Squigly and Umbrella aren’t relevant to the first story arc, basically hinting at more arcs in the story. Also confirming 2 characters for DLC, so you know Reverge Labs still going to the supporting the game well after launch.

    This is actually really really good news

Playing a video game just for the sake of fantasizing and/or masturbating to attractive characters is a tad unconventional, considering you need both hands to play. Plus, who wants a sticky controller? Therefore, porn is the way to go. If it’s gotta be Skullgirls related, that’s where Rule 34 comes in. And as for perverts, that’s just human nature, baby.

        I reckon he might be one of them newfangled wannabe feminists that only feigns sympathy in hopes of getting himself some lovin’, which would make him a pervert…

    ugh, it’s already bad enough women being typecast in other fighting games, but this? how perverted can you get? this is pretty disgusting. i cant imagine how many pervs are going to play this game with their mouths drooling. sicko!

    Well, that kinda sucks, but I just want to get a hold of this game.  And maybe we’ll get lucky and the DLC will come out as quickly as possible.  The more characters the better and with only 8 (assuming the bosses probably have to be unlocked first as well) it’s going to be a whole lot of sameface online for awhile.

    Maybe it’s too much wishful thinking but I’m hoping these 2 will be free DLC.  I’ll gladly pay for it and any other DLC after the fact, but I’d rather not have to pay extra for the 2 characters that were supposed to be in the game from day 1.

      Characters won’t be free – the amount of work (and money) that goes into animating our characters makes that an impossibility.

      Also, I’m not sure where this “characters were supposed to be in from Day 1″ thing came from. While Skullgirls has been floating around the ‘net for a while, we never said all of Alex’s characters would make it in at launch. We’ve been very clear that we’d have 8 playable characters at launch, and there have always been more than 8 characters out there, so anything tied to specific characters was just presumption and speculation on peoples’ part.

      We’re in a weird position since, unlike most games, ours is a continuation of a previous project so we’re actually confirming characters more than announcing them, in a way.

        I’m just gonna step in and say that this type of DLC is the kind I respect.  Not on disc DLC that was covered in the initial budget (at least as far as I can tell), but stuff that the devs want in the game and simply need compensation for.  I mean, it really does take a lot of love for your product to want to support it after its done anyway considering how much goes into the it initially.

        So even though my opinion on the subject doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things, I just want to say that I can respect this and hopefully other devs make sure to take notice of how to not nickle and dime potential customers and existing fans.  I’m looking forward to seeing the final product.

      Let me be clear: Squigly and Umbrella do not exist in any form right now. No work has been done on them, and they were never supposed to be in the initial commercial release of Skullgirls. You can’t cut what never existed – we’ve just prioritized them later, and work will begin on them after the core game has shipped.

      The only reason anyone even knows about them is because of Skullgirls’ strange history and the wealth of information out there about it from its past incarnations. We have never even mentioned the characters prior to this, never said they were coming.

      The only reason I mentioned them now is so that fans didn’t get their hopes up further and then be disappointed when they didn’t show up.

        I understand that you needed to bench them. I just want to know, they WILL be added down the line, right? I was really looking forward to seeing Squigly so it’s a bit disappointing to know she won’t make it for launch, but as long as it eventually happens I can manage.

    Skullgirls is a downloadable game, do you’d buy it over the internet right on your 360.

    When Squigly is released, the game would let you know that there is new content to buy. You’d then go to the store and purchase her, just you like you did the original game, and she’d appear in your roster.
