    One of the best fighting games I have ever played. The characters are so well animated that this game has the record for most frames on a single character. The character designs themselves are absolutely phenomenal. Skullgirls has an absolutely well done tutorial , making it so even the newest members of the FGC can learn how to play. The netcode for online matches are better then evenOne of the best fighting games I have ever played.

Skullgirls has an absolutely well done tutorial , making it so even the newest members of the FGC can learn how to play. The netcode for online matches are better then even some AAA fighting games. All in all, a must have for gamers who are heavily into fighting games. Expand

    If you own this, congratulations, you have the best version of Skullgirls untouched by those puritan devs who like to destroy steam artbooks and change great ps4 stories

    Nonetheless, the art is impressive enough that even a somewhat pale reflection of greatness is still worth seeing. Combine that with an average fighting game and…well, to be honest, I'm not sure if it's enough to make Skullgirls worth a recommendation, unless you're either really into fighting games, or really into seeing an aesthetic that doesn't get nearly enough representation in games.

    A lovely fighting game with a style all its own, Skullgirls 2nd Encore pairs finely tuned combat with cute and gruesome characters to create a wonderful display of passion and design. If it weren't for its technical limitations, this game could easily be considered a masterpiece.

    Though it is by no means the definitive version of the title, Skullgirls: 2nd Encore is a great fighting game for the Vita.
