Skullgirls 2nd Encore

I couldn't care less about any of the controversies surrounding this game.

Censorship or no censorship, I've been a fan since 2019 and the game actually gives me some amount of nostalgia! I still suck incredibly bad at it tho.

A great fighting game that needed way more singleplayer content (7/10)

So, I played this while the first round of DLC characters were being created. I stopped playing after Eliza, Beo and Robo were added.
The cast before Eliza was pretty good and balanced, the last add-ins for that cycle kinda killed the game for me. Eliza, Beo and Robo were bad IMO but everyone seems to like them. Ruined character balance and added a lot of BS assists like beam assist when THIS game does not need it. Not Mahvel, don't do that shit.
I can only imagine how much more assist BS there is and 0 neutral is now played, no, finally adding the meme annie, will not get me to return. Censorship and hiring Low/No experience devs who used to play the game instead. (((SMELLS LIKE NEPOTISM HERE!!! LIAM!!!)))

its a good game, but it's always getting shafted behind the scenes. not worth it in 2025

El juego es increible! toma tiempo y practica acustumbrarse a los movimientos de cada personaje pero en un par de dias te encantará el juego :b es muy divertido y la historia del os personajes son muy creativas he interesantes

recomiendo totalmente el juego, es una maravillla como cada animacion es fluida y constantes, mas la musica de fondo que es hermosa al oido, me gusta cada un de los personajes del juego, una obra de arte caramba 👌✨

used to play this game on ps3 and other steam account alot but changes they have made no sense and divide the community so i highly encoureage you not to buy the game go play SF6 or whatever not this

Go woke, go broke. Hidden Variable is a snake, Future Club deserves no future, and neither do the backstabbing filth that stole this beloved IP, and proceed to commandeer this sinking ship that they punched the holes for, to begin their descent into the trenches of slop fed to people that don't even actually care about the game, because they "have to be 'on the right side.' "

The original dev left, and new IP holders are delusional and making the game worse instead of creating content for already decent game. Considering how normally things go in such situations i sadly advise to avoid game.

Long-time fan of the series, who mostly played the mobile version here.
2nd Encore is amazing. Like, blew me out of the water amazing. I knew it was a different experience but it's the first fighting game that I really get.
I might not know combos, strings, or inputs fully, but all the animations and characterization make me feel like I'm still enjoying my losses, and the uphill nature of some fights doesn't end up making me feel worse about how I play.
It's the first time I've actually wanted to fully learn a fighting game.
10/10.

DEI hires took over the game and ruined it. Do not buy. It used to be a good game but now it's not. Original devs got fired.

EN:
I love this game, the design, the music and the gameplay too, the characters are beautiful both female and male, I hope it never becomes WOKE because otherwise it will be a shame....

ES:
Este juego me encanta, el diseño, la musica y la jugabilidad tambien, los personajes son hermosos tanto femeninos como masculinos, espero nunca se vuelva WOKE por que sino sera una lastima...

I stand with the FGC keep your political and sexual agendas out of our game.
I also stand by the OG creator. deleted on all platforms.

The original game is great. This is not the original game and is a mess of censorship. If you want a fighting game with mostly female characters, buy Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel, Vanguard Princess, Koihime Enbu, and/or Arcana Heart 3 LOVEMAX SIXSTARS!!!!!! XTEND instead. Stop supporting nuts that hate the original artists intent.

Original devs are gone and replaced by people that hate the people that originally bought the game. Definite do not buy at this point.

They cancelled the lead dev of this game and a bunch of woke fucks came in and started censoring the game. I bought the game without knowing, but I removed it from my account. Please do not support 2nd Encore...

Great game with beautiful artwork and amazing game-play, i played it a lot on my laptop on the go, so playtime isn't reflective of how much I've sunk into it.

so why the negative? Censorship.
After a controversy kicked the old creators out, new ones came in and they decided with their new unrestricted power to a decade old game to remove multiple "Problematic" animations, change Story art, remove a russian announcer pack because it was voiced by one of the old creators(no actual reason given), removed arm bands from a german no-no eagle themed paramilitary force, and they straight up remove character art from the artbook...

if this doesnt bother you-go right ahead and buy it, the game is still amazing regardless. i just fundamentally disagree that someone can come in and paint over someone else's work (that's, again, over a decade old btw...) for no other reason than "People might get offended in this day and age..."

Beowulf Beowulf Beowulf, my glorious wolf king<3

Play Cerebella and press D at the right time.

Used to be a great passion project by dedicated developers who slowly betrayed each other until everyone was ousted and the IP was bought out and sterilized by some outside company looking to only turn a profit.

Great fighter with incredible art, some of my favorite character designs. Unfortunately the new management hit it was a giant censorship bomb for no reason and they are censoring all negative reviews as well so I implore you to not support it until/if the changes are reverted.

dont listen to the people yapping about censorship, this game rocks

Not for me (because fighting games in general aren't), but something I could see myself recommending to any fighting game fan. Lengthy tutorial and all. This game can feel very harsh, though.

Note that online may or may not be dead or have the huge skill gap problem at this point, I haven't played online in ages. Also attracts the kind of fanbase you would expect given the character design and the game has been review bombed, so you have been warned.

And, tbh, given the price tag on this one, I would probably even recommend it if you only want to play singleplayer, despite the story routes being fairly short and there only really being an arcade mode past that.

People say that fighting games have become dull ,but there is once and a while when a rare gem arises. Skull Girls the 2nd encore provides a colorful cast of characters that imitates the style of blaze blue with each fighter having a unique move set. The story is that a relic can give you one wish if you defeat the skull girl every 7 year. Simple take as a fighting game can get. One thing I have to admire is the art and style of this game. It's 2d hand drawn style of different generation of tv and shows clash great with on another. The music is fantastic with it's jazz theme battles. The world of skull girls is well designed and creative that my only grip with the game is that there is not enough story to explain it's expensive and deep world. This game will crack your bones with how fun it is. 9/10

This game is awesome. Except for peacock. Screw peacock. Screw zoners. Screw people who main peacock/zoners. I hate peacock, and people who main her. Screw peacock.

Skullgirls is a amazing game that requires skill and time to become good at it ( I suck ), I like the art direction of the game, the animations are beautiful and the characters are cool, but there is somethings that I don’t like for example, why is there a CRINGY-ASS FURRY in the training room instead of MS.VICTORIA! it feels so damn out of place. why in the Mary virgin mother of Jesus is there censorship in this game! the people who wanted it censored are probably people who don’t even play Skullgirls or doesn’t even play video games at all and just complain on the internet, the have a name and they are called modern audiences. Gamergate is the one to blame. I’m planning big crimes after this, anyways double my beloved

Originally played on ps3-ps4 until i hopped to pc. My overall favorite fighting game, no complaints ever, i'll always have it downloaded.

The combo system is amazing.
Beautiful animation.

Ok um jogo de luta curto, 7 horas e quase fiz tudo que tinha nele, mesmo assim é bom, personagens legais e historias interressantes, tem um bom sex appel nele mas nada muito exagerado, compensa comprar as dlcs para as outras personagens, é dificil jogar no teclado ja que seus combos querem mover o joystick em maneiras q é dificil nos direcionais, mas isso faz parte.

Absolute banger games, and i love my wife there

good fighting game, might be hard to play with one hand though

Highly Recommended 9/10*
Skull girls?? more like Thicc girls ;P, the art in this game is gorgeous, so stylish and daaam those proportions(would love to see a game with similar characters but raw without the "moster" theme), the voice acting its very good, the music is also so good, its a great fighting game with lot of personality, cool move sets, very good controls, and lot of unlockables, can't believe its like 15yo. It has some dlc but with a single season pass buy youll get the full game, which is appreciate in fighting games now days with dlc cuadrupling the base game price.

I'm awful at fighting games. Never understood why people liked the. I thought they were clunky, unbalanced, required committing long button inputs to & combo set-ups to memory. Then I downloaded Skullgirls back on the PS3. I was still awful (I'm still very awful) but it clicked. Fighting games are good. Games are good. Playing fighting games with other people and learning how to improve after every match is good. Now I'm looking at games like Vampire Savior, and Guilty Gear knowing I'll still be awful and I'll still have fun.

Fighting games are so cool.

i looove skullgirls more than anything and this game so fun :3 very fast paced which I like and its definetly a must look out if ur trying to get into 2d fighting game's , Tho 6 buttons can be a litle hard so it is not beginner friendly.

if it had more than 2 active players rn it would be one of my favorite fighting games

good

this game slaps

Forced all my friends to get this game

Skullgirls 2nd Encore

getting curbstomped simulator

Great fighting game. Cool graphics and characters

Game is pretty mid, no cap. Squigly best girl tho

i dont know what half of the mechanics are but holy shit big band and beowulf are peak masculinity even while being the only 2 male characters in a game full of females with huge badongadongs

Well uh, there's not much I could say about this game. It's good enough for me I guess. But to be honest it was still good before and after the changes it has been through though that's just my opinion. I would recommend this game to those who still enjoy the beauty of classic arcade fighting games. That being said, take my perspective into consideration as my opinions or thoughts about this game may please or upset you. But for me and for me only, its perfect just the way it is :) .

AMAZING LORE FILLED GAME

not for kids but is very fun

despite looking at my steam account i have played other fighting games but wow i love the story, combat and abilities, characters and art style(who couldn't like the beauty of this game) this game is not really for people who are ass at remembering buttons and the... very complicated movesets as well as the team system. i am still very very very new so don't judge me on my review

This is quite simply, mechanically, the best tag fighter on the market and it came out in 2012. that says a lot. tier lists? useless. Will you fail to block the mix? absolutely. Its a great time while it happens as well.

This is the perfect example of a fighting game that's clearly well-made but not for me.

What started off as an indie game is clearly inspired by Marvel vs. Capcom, and it shows. A lot of the mechanics follow the typical team-based fighting game style with assists. The main gimmick I like is that you can (in theory) pick only 2 or even 1 character and have your health scale up, but generally, this is not recommended.

The character designs certainly "stick out," but I've personally never been into the art style of Skullgirls; it definitely has that "early Western indie game" feel.

While the game is kind of fun to mess around with solo, I just don't think it's as enjoyable or polished as later (or even earlier) team games when playing against any competition. The balance is super whack and heavily reliant on combos and Touch of Death mechanics, with not many good defensive options.

The story mode is amusing enough, and I'm glad it's fully voiced, but I just didn't really care about any of the characters by the end, even though I completed all the story modes (in the Switch version).

When this game was one of the few to actually use GGPO rollback netcode, I might have given it a more positive recommendation. However, with so many more dynamic, better-looking, balanced, and more fun-to-play versions of anime-style/team-based fighting games available now, Skullgirls just doesn't hold up for me personally these days.

I do have to give props for showing that indie fighting games can be a thing, especially lasting over a decade.

censorship bad lole

Very cool fighting game disguised as p0rn (I love it)
