Big Band confirmed for Skullgirls DLC character after Squigly, first male character

Nice to see news for this game coming out again. I play it with my friends from time to time. Still fun.

Is he gonna be part of the kickstarter?

Oh, that's pretty cool. I like the whole 'Q but good' comment. Hah.

Oh damn.

Good choice

My wallet is ready

#3 After when all the needed money for Squigly will been donated all excess money will go toward Big Bands development so yeah, he is part of the funding donation.

Ok ....so do like 9 more and ill buy it...ok?...deal!

That's a pretty lofty goal...should really concentrate on one character announcement after the first goal is reached.

Wooh male characters. Just sparked my interest again.

Paunzerfaust next after him and Black Dhalia!!

Q but good! Haha so true.

Hopin for Black Dhalia as the dlc character to be voted for. This fella may be fun though

wow this is going to get me into SG now! psych!!

So, will they be renaming the game "Skullpeople"?

One of the more interesting character designs. Immediately thought of Birdie when I read this "charge character with anti-air and command grabs", though.

Just need 300k dollars and big band is all yours. Also, having different official names in different regions is confusing.

@17 nah Skullgirls is a part of the story

Also you know UltraDavid is gonna be hyped! A GOOD Q? He's in there.

TAKE MY MONEZ!

But forreal, this is just getting better and better. The only Male character I was interested in is the first DLC.

Time to empty my bank account!
....not really. But I'll do my part to support this game.
=3

I have SkullGirls excluded in my preference setting.

Yet I still see this. Why?

So if I wait 5 more years it may have a roster size of 18 or so?

OK, I'll revisit this game in 2018. It is evolving far too slowly to keep my interest.

ok then ill gladly buy this game and play with this character in saaay 2015?

I'd prefer this character than squigly to be honest. Q is my favourite character in FG history, which makes this character even more appealable to me. I'd probably donate once squigly is done.

Pretty cool. can't wait.

The region-specific name thing works for Street Fighter so no biggie, right. As the article stated, it's a "nod" to what was already existent.
Also, indie game. One person wouldn't be giving a lump sum of money; 300,000 people all donating $1.25; now it sounds better huh? The same goes for #10. If you're not supporting the future of the game then no complaints.

(Reminds of people who were pissed about Spiderman being "killed" in Amazing #700 when these people NEVER picked up a comicbook in their lives or hadn't supported the comic book industry for decades; as if his death would change his character in outside media).

Good job skullgirls, and skullguy.

Skullgirls looking great. lol the main reason why alot of people didn't stick with the game was because of the 8 character roster. 1 character per year? They can pump characters out 3 months each as they are now (From scratch) . They are not slightly different version of other characters in the game either like how some fighters roll, they are all completely original. Keep in mind this is all without funding for the main console version.

Also Skullgirl TF2 hats confirmed

Kind of disappointed that the first male character won't be Panzerfaust, but Big Band sounds rad.

Putting a turtle in? Wisht yer noise and accept my cash.

@27
In hindsight, that which is existent was a mistake. Why would anyone want to repeat a mistake?

I'm just saying it's probably a good idea to remind the 300,000 ppl to donate or else no one gets these DLC.

I have no complaints if Skullgirls does well. :-)

Hello 3rd team member!

(Starts jerking off)

They should be focusing on how they're going to fund these characters instead of announcing more promises they may not end up keeping...

150k is a lot and as much as this got donations for the drive, I don't think people are going to want to donate 150k dollars for a character they may not end up liking.

I hope they plan on starting a kickstarter and adding a buttload of extra bonuses for donating

#34

Yes, there been confirmed incentives for donating such as PC Beta Keys for donating at least $30 (may be limited) at IndieGoGO. Main difference then the Evo Breast Cancer drive and this crowd funding is that this can attract the casual gamer more.

Put money for your game to be at Evo when the majority is not even gonna go..? Ehh. Put Money on your game to get expansions where you directly benefit from? Yes. Probably even more $ per backer on average just from the goal not counting the possible stretch goals. If you do the math, if each individual backer on average put twice as much $ as they did on the Evo drive then we already got past 1st goal and thats not counting the wider demographic this can attract.

If this character really does play like Q then I think I've found my new main.

is that... cave story lunch box?! kawaii desu...

That was the right choice! This guy looks too awesome.

With Big Band being so tall, wide, and round I can't quite see him playing like Q...it's probably because I can't see him having any arms at all. I have faith in Mike Z and the SG crew that they can pull it off though, and will purchase him even if he ain't quite Q.

P.S. If you give him Q's taunt, even if it doesn't buff his health, I shall love you guys forever (5ever if it does ;3). The taunt was so necessary for Q to be "Okay" that it wouldn't feel right without it, health buff or not.

Freaking awesome! Can't wait!

New main character here i come!
Now give me Hive and my team will be complete!

what about the 360 patch?!?

@43

*Slaps* Stop asking! It'll be here when it's here! Blame Microsoft!

so if everyone who bought this (XBL/PSN/JAPAN/any eventual PC players) donated 2-5$ could they possibly have money for 3 characters and a stage or 2?

EDIT: also calling a potemkin and garuda(power stone) color

they're going to have to rename the game to "skull people"

....okay a good version of Q...still not interested...

I'm waiting for Parasoul's sister.

I dont like the male character thing but whatever, i know alot of people were trolling the game cause it had all girls.

guess mike z cracked under the pressure.
