Autumn Games returns with some more information about another character in it's line up. The acrobatic and immortal Ms. Fortune makes her Skullgirls debut in this trailer.
I give it up to Autumn Games for giving it's characters interesting backstories. Ms. Fortune, known as Nadia Fortune to her friends, was a member of the Fishbone Gang of thieves. When the group tried to steal the Life Gem from Lorenzo Medici, her gang was massacred. Before she met the business end of the Medici blades, she ingested the Life Gem and absorbed its power, granting her the ability of an "undying" body.
On top of the fact that she can perform some interesting combos and aerial maneuvers, she can also take of her head and use it to attack her opponents. Coupling the art style of Skullgirls with its interesting characters and unusual tactics, this is one fighter I can't wait to try out when it releases early next year.
So many deliciously bad puns. I love this game. I can't play fighting games for shit but I'll be picking this up Day 1 for those tutorials. I'm hoping they can actually teach me how to not be crap. Looking forward to more info about Umbrella, Squigly and Painwheel (and, hopefully, Valentine.)
Cheers for covering this, Jason! Hopefully Skullgirls can get some good publicity.
@ScooneySteve- I would like the amount of clothing she is wearing to be the same as Blanka from Street Fighter is wearing, so I guess those two things cancel each other out.
It's like 'Death Becomes Her' but with a cat-girl starring in it and now it's a 2-D fighting game. Okay, maybe it isn't that similar to 'Death Becomes Her', after all.
