Skullgirls is a 2012 fighting video game developed by Reverge Labs and published by Autumn Games, originally released digitally for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and ported to various other home and portable systems afterwards. A 2D fighter, Skullgirls consist of team-based fights and revolves around the "Skull Heart", an artifact which grants wishes for women. If a wisher with an impure soul uses the Skull Heart, she is transformed into a monster known as the "Skullgirl".
Runs well on modern hardware.

The story and universe are cool and the combo system is pretty intuitive, but good luck having fun playing it online. There is no ranking system and most people you run into have been playing this game for years. Losing to them feels even worse since there's so many ways to reset a combo and that's what you're going to get mixed by 98% of the time, making matches all the more infuriating as you just try and land your first B&B. At least the tutorial is actually pretty thorough.
its great dont let ppl tell you its too difficult just push thru the tutorial and youll get it
There is no such thing as skill-based matchmaking, but don't let that discourage you. Get the game, play online anyway. Maybe if enough ppl are online at once, we might get a decent online skill distrobution for a change. As Scatman John once said, "the things you call dead haven't yet had the chance to be born."
