The folks behind the popular indie fighter recently shared an early version of the piano melody for the game’s new [...]

Kenin Black brings us several Skullgirls videos featuring Parasoul today that cover mid-screen, corner, and throw combos.

It took an extra six months, but the Skullgirls: Slightly Different Edition patch has finally arrived on Xbox 360. The update hit PlayStation 3 last November, but due to an issue with Microsoft’s file size limit for Xbox Live Arcade, the Xbox 360 update was indefinitely delayed. Those issues have been resolved, bringing the Xbox [...]

By day, she organizes several blood drives for charity. By night, she feeds that blood to her parasite, which keeps her young and immortal. Beneath her beautiful [...]

Most Skullgirls players use Peacock as a runaway-based zoner. They utilize her strengths to keep the opponent out and slowly fish for Argus Agony confirms or a simple chip damage win. However, Oktakop shows us that Peacock has a close-range game just like the rest of the cast. This video demonstrates some basic Peacock combos [...]
