It's Panzerfaust. That's German for Panzerfist. Which is German for Tankfaust.

I think their names are Big Band and Le Duc, actually.

Le Duc is the small guy in that picture. He was going to be the first DLC character, but they may or may not do Umbrella and Squiggly first now.

\/ I forget where, but I heard "Le Duc is planned to be first" a long time ago by some guy from Reverge. Obviously it's not the case anymore, but it was at some point, and I'm guessing he's going to be pretty early.

Nobody knows what's first with dlc. I heard Squiggly, Umbrella, LeDuc, Panzerfaust, Marie/Double, and even a character no one has seen named Beowulf, a wrestler who uses a steel chair.

I've seen concept art for Beowulf but it's ancient.

I'm still wondering if it would be cool to release details of old Skullgirls info, like the 2 versions that didn't get made. I'll ask Alex and Mike some day.

Don't worry. They are just a bunch of sketches and background characters. If you really want to know about them, most are on the SRK wiki and the rest can be found on the SRK forums, linked within the wiki.

I guess I must not have watched any videos in a while with the sound on, but the hitsounds now sound really good.

Voices are still really hit and miss but nothing is really awful at least.


Maybe I'm missing something, but is it visually impossible to tell the difference between Parasol's projectiles that hit and those that don't (ie Shot versus Toss)? That seems like a really, really weird design decision, especially considering how many projectiles she's throwing out all the time.

I mean on the project itself anyway, the audio cue and animation on her is a little different.

Only the ones with straight trajectories have active hitboxes. The Cable Grenades don't. I suppose there isn't a visual distinction but it would be more confusing if the tears didn't at least heavily resemble each other (and the flight paths are pretty easy to spot imo).

There may be something in the final product or visible at 60fps, though, so I'll do some research and get back to you.

I doubt it would be a big problem in the long run (it may even be intentionally done like that I guess), but it definitely seems unintuitive.

Also I was sort-of wrong about the audio clip, it's not even necessarily different. They both say "cry" some times.


They SHOULD resemble each other, but it seems like they should be like Venom's pool balls, where you can tell what's active and what's not.

The bottom right slot is the 8th character, it's blocked out because she hasn't been announced yet.

Valentine and [8th character] are freely playable in multiplayer and training, but you have to unlock them for single player.

It's a pretty huge difference. The one that has a hitbox she shoots horizontally using her gun. The one that doesn't have a hitbox she just spins her umbrella in a circle and the bomb comes out in an arc.

The one flying at your face is going to hit you.

Are you talking about like when they're stationary onscreen? Because none of them have hitboxes when they're just floating in the air (until they explode that is)

The ones she flicks at you can be flying right at your face as well. But they don't hit. It's the same sprite for two different projectiles, and one hits and one does not.

They should make the flicked ones that don't hit look like they won't hit. Like make them little bubbles or semi-transparent or something.

It's not a big deal, it's just unintuitive and that's weird for a game trying very hard to be as intuitive as possible.

Yeah, she's firing a gunshot through the tear if it has a hitbox versus flinging the umbrella.

My Skullgirls Moment today was noticing that the game has unique hitsparks for when a move connects with an opponent who is currently hit-invincible.

Yes but she's even still doing the move while it's flying at your face, it's not like you have enough time to forget what move she did like .5 seconds ago. Trust me, it's not an issue.
