New Skullgirls Character Revealed

New Skullgirls Character Revealed

None

A few days ago, the information embargo on Ms. Fortune, the newest Skullgirls character was lifted, and fans flooded the forums, asking head developer Mike Z to answer all their Fortune related questions. This is all the info we have seen so far.

Ms. Fortune is an immortal catgirl. There is nothing about that statement I don’t like. Unfortunately, the mafia found her and cut her body into pieces, but they only did this AFTER she became immortal, so it was really nothing more than a small inconvenience. Thus, Fortune’s play-style involves taking herself apart in the middle of battle and attacking her enemies with her individual bits.



Her most unique technique is the ability to remove her head and have it fight independently from her body. Attacking either will cause Fortune’s life to go down, however, so while it gives you twice as many options it also makes you twice as vulnerable. Fortune can even tag out of the battle and keep her head in to watch, and she can use assists that cause her head to attack instead of her. So you can use Fortune to lure the enemy toward her head and call her in for a quick head hit while you continue to do the fighting. The game is already a tag team game, but with Fortune on your team, you effectively have one more character to play around with, even if you don’t have another life-bar.

As for Fortune’s aesthetic style, most of her moves involve tearing her body apart in certain ways. There is one move she uses where she tangles you up in a yarn ball of muscle and connective tissue, and her air dashes are fueled by letting her spurt blood from her body like rocket. She’s not a character for the squeamish, but she seems pretty fun to play nonetheless.
