at best they both are still in the catacombs, but the interesting thought is what would happen to Squigly now that the skull heart is destroyed would she go back to being dead, or because a shard remains in Marie would she still be awake, yeah I do agree it would've been nice to know what happen to them but I also understand why it only focused on Marie and Peacock, overall this was everything I wanted from Marie's story
What triggers me is that "it was all a dream" type shit. Just multiple fights with an absolute gut wrenching boss, just to get your face skinned and it all be a nightmare. I get she's an April Fools character, but come on, they already gave her too much lore. At this point she's a wasted potential and I don't see anything for her in near future except Variants
[55:22] If you think about it, their wishes did come true in the least expected outcome. Annie's mother wished that Annie would keep her youth (this is true. However, things didn't work out for Annie, and she watched 2 Skullgirls wreak havoc) Selene (squigly's mom) wished for her family to be alive (...Kind of?) Queen Nancy (Parasoul and Umbrella's mother) wished for the war between the warring kingdoms to end (and it did as she became the Skullgirl) I'm not saying the Skull Heart isn't rigged. It is, but the wishes come true in a way people don't expect it
That's... the whole point though... The skullheart grants wishes, but twists them. Though, the "pure heart" rule is also true, just not in the way you would expect. Black Dhalia's wish was pure because it matched her true intentions(? I think), she wanted the world to burn so that she could have some real fun lmao
@@Mad-Cat-In-A-Hat Actually, this Story Mode confirms (Although Robo Fortune's also implied it years ago) that the Skull Heart doesn't care at all if a wish is truly pure or not; it's a monkey's paw that only seeks to destroy humanity and create a new Skullgirl so that the Trinity get closer to their goals of world annihilation
At first, I thought it was an error in design, but it seems not to be the case. Marie's eyes lack the sigil of the Skullgirl once the skull heart had been severed. I guess it is proof that her strings had been cut. Also, I find it strange how Filia and Squigly played important role in freeing Marie, and yet they seem to have just disappeared after the first battle.
49:00 you can tell which member of the Trinity is talking because of the colored outline! Red is Venus, yellow is Aeon and blue is Mother(lamia?) it’s little details like this that makes this game awesome
Interesting ending. Sounds like the perfect setup for a sequel. Game's over 10 years old, been hearing forever Marie's story is the canon ending, it's time to go to ChromeGirls!
59:21 But how?! Finally the Skullheart is destroyed and the Skullgirl now is good and doesn't hurt anymore... NOW YOU ARE CREATING A SKULLHEART ROBOT?! WHY NEVER A MOMENT OF PEACE?! FINALLY YOUR OBJECTIVE IS OVER!!!
There's like 4 antagonistic forces wanting to rule over all I think, if it's not the Trinity, its the Medicis, or Brain Drain, or Eliza, and they're at war with each other, while the Canopy crown tries to subdue all of them in order to be the ones in power, which wouldn't be that pretty either, at least according to characters like Leviathan who strongly disliked Parasoul's father and previous ruler, which s p o i l e r s, is still alive and probably still controlling everything from the shadows
I like to believe that the chrome heart was made specifically to fight against the trinity and the skull heart but now with marie rebelling, the chrome heart has already become obsolete, like its a whole robot fortune situation where brain drain creates something that ends up totally backfiring
Yeah, i mean is the one that truly breaks the cycle of the Skullheart and declares war against the Trinity It wouldn't suprise me that if they made a "final story", they use this route a a basis.
@@shannonbateswillis5022 Well yeah, there's the cliffhanger. But this feels like a shift forward, as opposed to the other plotlines which are either parallel to each other, or non-canon.
As much as I love some new story content, holy Trinity, that was a LOT of dialogue, contrasted with only a handful of gameplay. If they didn't have the need to give Marie a flashback after every single battle, then it wouldn't be as much of an issue.
I saw it, i updated it, marie kicked ass, she redeemed herself, and lived happily ever after with peacock....or do they? (The post credit got me left like a cliffhanger)
Definitely perfect ending even though I still want to see Filia and Squigly at the end with Peacock and Marie anyway it was fucking awesome and adorable 5 out of 5
I want to know why Filia and Squigly teamed up with Peacock and agreed to her plan in the first place. I know Filia went after the heart to learn more about herself, while Squigly attacked her knowing very well how deadly the heart is, and wished to stop it once more. They must have bumped into each other and made an alliance because of their similar goals.
It's rare to see the final boss get her own story mode but to make him/her have a much more entertaining play style is even more so. Nicely done Developers... Nicely done
thing is squigly can't go back to sleep since the heart kinda still exists, even as a shard. remember she goes back to sleep when the heart and the skullgirl both die but in maries case its complicated since the heart is shattered but a shard still exists with its power
Eh I still think the trinity is the big bad, brain drain seems more like a secondary antagonist. Especially since it looks like he wants to take them down as well

@ffffffffROTHY I'm happy about that, but still, just letting them dissappear I'm like did something bad happened to them but I guess they just got left behind. I'm happy for peacock and maria soo happy
@@yue1865would've been funny that one last final clip was them like playing poker or something because Avery told them to wait there, and maybe wondering how's Squigly still alive
My friend and I had the idea, back in 2018, that "what if Peacock managed to save Marie's life with the power of Lab 8's technology? what if there was a good end for Marie somehow?". We were both amazed at how perfectly that happened here. This story mode made me cry a bit, Marie and Peacock have both been through hell in so many ways but finally they get to heal! They have some gay moments, tell the Trinity to go stuff it, and drive off into the sunset, and that's amazing! It was worth the wait for my favorite antagonist to finally be playable. :)
I like how the story goes back and forth between the past and present. We actually see Peacock/Patricia with her eyeballs still in her sockets. In my opinion there should be a Last Story where Peacock, Marie, Filia and Squigly compare notes at the restaurant Nadia works at, the latter of which can't help but listen in on, They soon get surrounded by Black Egrets lead by Parasoul and Umbrella. Suddenly, the earth shakes and it comes from the casino. The seven of them all rendevous with Annie, Beowulf, and Big Band. They are soon greeted by Cerebella, Eliza and Black Dahlia. Along with Vitale and Lorenzo. Also in another faction are Valentine, Painwheel and Robo-Fortune. Lead by Brain Drain. Double arrives and hands the Skull Heart to Dahlia, the former forcing Dahlia to wish that Lorenzo be a woman and then pass on the Skull Heart to her so she could have eternal youth and beauty. This one wish was enough for Aeon, Venus and Lamia to break free and wreak havoc on the world. In a rather sadistic act, Vitale guns down Filia, and Lorenzo extracts Samson from her. Cerebella is shocked to see that Filia is Filia Medici. Heartbroken Cerebella lashes out but Lorenzo grabs Vice Versa and rips it to pieces. Aeon then reverts all skullgirl candidates that were modified back to themselves before their changes, and Aeon, Venus and Lamia combine their powers to cause the candidates to disappear, save for Double. The candidates end up in a white dimension of nothingness and think back on the times they had and all agreed to set aside their differences and work together.
Marie's story is like Korosensei, especially if in the anime crossover maybe Marie meets Class 3-E (Assassination classroom) even though Class 3-E is an assassin like Black Dahlia, making Marie feel that Class 3-E is not like Black Dahlia as cruel assassins due ro in fact Class 3-E is people understand about her due to Class 3-E see that Marie just like Korosensei in Aguri form even though Marie is like Korosensei but Class 3-E sees Marie and Peacock like Karma and Nagisa especially Marie maybe could be Naofumi Iwatani's alliance because Marie feels Naofumi is like her especially the boss in Marie's story is like Frieren fighting his clones
That's the same dude. He died while Marie tried to find help & his skeleton alongside his undying spirit, will ALWAYS be there to protect her, even after his DEATH. 😊
I noticed that too! I was like "wait a minute, it has the same build and ribbon on the horn! Hilgard?" and I think that's actually pretty wholesome. I guess the skeletons around Marie are ones that willfully wanna help her because she's Marie, the girl they cared for, not Marie the skullgirl I'd that makes sense
NO FUCKING WAY SKULLGIRLS TURNED INTO CYBER FUCKING PUNK 2077, BRO THAT ENDING LEAVES SO MUCH TO THE IMAGINATION OF THE SEASON 2 PASS.... Also you're Marie was FLAWLESS
Up there witht the original 14 stories under Lab Zero. Some pacing issues along with some annoying retcons like the change of where the orphanage was in Rommelgrad & Patricia not wearing the maid outfit with Marie but I appreciate they finally started to acknowledge the past continuity of events. After the trainwreck of the last three stories (Especially Dahlia's good Christ), this was a great send off.
2:40 Who is Leviathan referring to? Delilah (Samson's old host) maybe?? 13:01 "Don't let your resolve weaken now" SHE'S STILL A CHILD, VALENTINE!! OBVIOUSLY, SHE'S GONNA FEEL BAD!! 21:08 WOAH?! I didn't think I'd ever see Dahlia with her hair down; even if it's not actually her. 28:56 Lol. Classic Parasoul!! Maybe that's why you can see her in Annie's stage in the game☠️ 40:40 They probably keep coming back because your still the skullgirl. 55:39 It's nice seeing the previous skullgirls again, and with Annie's mom too! She isn't really talked about or mentioned much besides from the webtoon and Annie's story mode! (She's might be kinda hard to see, but she's on the right side and Marie, behind the skeletons) 56:28 AWWWW MY HEARTT❤❤ 😭 58:02 Oh..i was about to clap, but nevermind; there's more☠️...why does Valentine have those pink shuriken things here (and in the webtoon) but not in the actual game? 59:24 "Chrome heart".....hm. I wonder what chaos THAT will bring..
The pink shurikens are to avoid violating the Geneva Convention No, I'm not joking, it's against the law to make any depictions of the red cross without their permission Of course, there are pink, but the devs weren't gonna take the risk, as the Red Cross DOES take legal action, it's all for the sake of keeping the red cross as an international symbol of medicine and not muddy the water
About what you said for Valentine, they’re planning on changing her design to have the pink shurikens instead of the crosses. Apparently it’s to avoid copyright stuff with the Red Cross, but I thought it only mattered if they were red
So... Marie has the best ending but made the sequel set in stone. An artificial skullheart and rogue skullgirl. This set up to lots and lots of new story and possibilities.
thing is past SG the story was already planned in advance since 10 years ago, the next bad was gonna be Eliza but the true endgame was the trinity itself since the heart is still gonna be a threat as long as a shard exists or the trinity themselfs too, now just having brains fake skullheart makes its more complicated since the trinity could kidnap it and make the while skullheart process more chaotic if they can control it fully to make endless hearts to fuck the world with since their heart they can't repair back to normal due to maries will fucking it up
48:56 Onwards So there's 3 shades of Marie's imposter. Cyan, Pink and Yellow. The 3 Goddesses speaking in turn? I get the feeling Venus gets the pink one... Overall, super excited about what this could mean for the future of Skullgirls & the mobile game story-wise! But wtf is Brain Drain thinking to make an artificial SkullHeart?!
He’s a lunatic with a visible brain who made a robotic version of a self-mutilating catgirl with a penchant for puns and took a young schoolgirl and made her into the twisted lovechild of Freddy Krueger and Leatherface. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT HIM TO DO?!
its brain drain, what do you think a mad genius would do, he doesn't like to he on the bottom but the top and making his own version of the heart already puts him above everyone for now
It's seems the Era Of the Skullgirl is Over ....Or is it 🤨. But I've been realizing this but there was no voice acting in the cutscenes even with Black Dalah , Umbrella, and Annie what gives? did they stop doing that ?
the voices is cause they wanna voice act all the dlc characters story on one go so they were waiting for marie to be out so they can bring in all the VOs to do the lines and whatever extra stuff thats needed like the Annie alt voice pack too.
Well, this Story Mode was pretty much as interesting as I had hoped and having us start it off with being able to actually Play as the Boss Version of Marie were a very nice touch, although speaking of which, I was wondering what the Final Boss for this one would be, but I guess it still ended up being Bloody Marie like usual, except this time it was a Bloody Marie that was puppeteered much more directly by The Trinity through Double (I guess), still it ended up being Bloody Marie nonetheless, I guess that does make sense, it is the only true Boss-Like Battle that was designed for this Game and making a entirely New One probably takes too much work, still I do kind of wish that they could’ve at least made some kinds of Alterations to the Bloody Marie Boss Fight somewhat, something that would’ve indicated that we do in fact Fight The Trinity themselves this time around, not directly of course, but you know what I mean, Hm, thinking about that does make me a little disappointed, i just hope we do get some other Boss-Like Battles in the Future, Regardless, this Story Mode was still pretty well done all things considered and i really hope it and the Rest of these Latest Stories gets Voiced just like the Originals ended up being and gets Voiced good too, i feel like they deserve good Voice Acting. As for the Story itself, I wasn’t sure of what I was expecting, but I certainly wasn’t expecting this Story to take us outside of New Meridian and while I was expecting there to be some revelations in a Story Mode like this, I was still not expecting what we got, It’s good that we got to learn more about the Orphanage that Marie and Patricia once lived at, but if memory serves, I thought the Orphanage they once lived at was one run by the Medici and i thought Marie was running from the Medici when she first met Double, but i guess not, huh? Granted, now that i think about it, i guess none of this was really ever specified until now, was it? I could be wrong though and this does bring Marie’s desire for revenge on the Medici into question, unless those Slave Traders were working for the Medici, then I guess this could still work, Regardless, what do any of you think? Could the Flashbacks in this be considered a Retcon or could they still work alongside the info we had already gotten prior to this Story Mode? Anyway, as interesting this Story Mode was it did bring some Questions in mind, like for example: 1. How and why did Peacock end up teaming up with Filia and Squigly? Like having Peacock here is a no brainer and i guess Filia and Squigly could be considered as the Overall Main Characters of this Game, at least that’s the impression I’ve gotten, but still out of all the other Characters in the Roster, why Filia and Squigly with Peacock? 2. How did they come up with a plan like that? I say they, but it’s mostly like Peacock who were the one who came up with a plan that crazy, still what caused her to even think of it, when she didn’t for the other Story Modes where she had a Major Role? 3. When does this Story Mode take place? I mean, one would probably think that it takes place somewhere when all of the other Story Modes End, but in that case one can wonder what might’ve happened previously that eventually lead into this Story Mode’s Beginning? Honestly, out of all of the Stories in this Game, I feel like this Storyline in particular is one that I would like to learn more about the most. Speaking of which and I think this might be the biggest one of them all, 4. What’s next from here on? If I recall correctly, I think there was talk about a Plan that once Marie would be Playable there would be a Story Mode that would move things along for a change and Aeon did mention in the Post-Credits Scene of Double’s Story Mode that at some point there would be a Timeline where all threads converge with one another, Is this Story Mode it or could we expect one Final Story Mode (for Season 1 at least) that is more akin to those Final Stories that usually seems to be in Games with Multiple Stories based on who you play as? And if the Latter is the case, would this Final Story Mode take place in its own Timeline or would it be a Continuation of this One? What do any of you think? Regardless, this a very nice Story and i hope they won’t be stopping anytime soon.
Iirc, the original backstory did give me the assumption that the orphanage was run by the medici or atleast the implication that marie witnessed what they did to Peacockbut yeah, nothing concrete was shown. It is rather peculiar tho, I guess Hilgard was keeping the kids a secret to protect them from slave traders which begs the question why they were ratted out. Were the people of the village threatened? Did double have something to do with this? why did they burn down the village? it's also interesting in regards to the webcomic, when I read it it seemed like it was more of a city than village
to bad it won't happen given that the lead person that had the idea for future games is gone so SG is stuck forever as encore forever, i mean we already have a plot for SG2 being Eliza as the big bad but thats all, let alone the true ending thats missing for SG itself even though they used abit of it for Maries story being the time space ability that was key to beating the skullheart for awhile
nah thats not happening now since the person that did the story left the game so we're stuck with encore forever with endless dlcs, plus they don't trust themself in SG2 given the main threat there is Eliza now
I’m so glad that they stepped up on the artwork the further they got into making the characters past Annie. Annie’s story mode artwork looks weird compared to the art here
Okay, I have to ask, if they didn’t take so long to get this out cause they were getting the voice acting done for all the story modes, then why the ever loving flip did it take so long for this dlc to release?
cause of consoles, thats why it takes forever for release since sony and nintendo has to test the update for bugs when they submit the update for testing on their side
i mean its not really a happy ending given that theres a human made skullheart thats probably worse then the skullheart itself, plus the trinity would have a backup to replace the heart to keep on their will in the world
My only complaint is how they just forgot about Squigly and Fillia
Makes you wonder what happened to them
at best they both are still in the catacombs, but the interesting thought is what would happen to Squigly now that the skull heart is destroyed would she go back to being dead, or because a shard remains in Marie would she still be awake, yeah I do agree it would've been nice to know what happen to them but I also understand why it only focused on Marie and Peacock, overall this was everything I wanted from Marie's story
I was confused at the start because how does peacock even know those 2 they never really met story wise she was working with big band
@@Morbius-Tension
They probably met before going to fight Marie at some point and they just didn't show it.
They probably left or something
Probably what hapend to squiglys ending scene if she she went back to sleep but what really happend the both of them was snapped by thanos
meanwhile Fukua be like: yeah, yeah, screw me, i'll wait
Well, atleast she got her screentime in Dhalia's story mode
@@Mad-Cat-In-A-HatThat screentime wasn't worth a dime. She was just there to get bodied by Dahlia

Yeah it's essentially a monkey's paw
Peacock is basically the personification of chaotic good. An impulsive nutcase with a heart of gold.
At first, I thought it was an error in design, but it seems not to be the case. Marie's eyes lack the sigil of the Skullgirl once the skull heart had been severed. I guess it is proof that her strings had been cut.
Also, I find it strange how Filia and Squigly played important role in freeing Marie, and yet they seem to have just disappeared after the first battle.
Another question is, now that Marie is in full control of her Skullheart shard, does that mean that Squigly is still technically alive?
I once theorized this, and I think the answer would be yes. It makes me wonder what she and Filia were doing while all of this was happening.

We were both amazed at how perfectly that happened here. This story mode made me cry a bit, Marie and Peacock have both been through hell in so many ways but finally they get to heal! They have some gay moments, tell the Trinity to go stuff it, and drive off into the sunset, and that's amazing! It was worth the wait for my favorite antagonist to finally be playable. :)
I like how the story goes back and forth between the past and present. We actually see Peacock/Patricia with her eyeballs still in her sockets.
In my opinion there should be a Last Story where Peacock, Marie, Filia and Squigly compare notes at the restaurant Nadia works at, the latter of which can't help but listen in on, They soon get surrounded by Black Egrets lead by Parasoul and Umbrella. Suddenly, the earth shakes and it comes from the casino. The seven of them all rendevous with Annie, Beowulf, and Big Band. They are soon greeted by Cerebella, Eliza and Black Dahlia. Along with Vitale and Lorenzo. Also in another faction are Valentine, Painwheel and Robo-Fortune. Lead by Brain Drain. Double arrives and hands the Skull Heart to Dahlia, the former forcing Dahlia to wish that Lorenzo be a woman and then pass on the Skull Heart to her so she could have eternal youth and beauty. This one wish was enough for Aeon, Venus and Lamia to break free and wreak havoc on the world. In a rather sadistic act, Vitale guns down Filia, and Lorenzo extracts Samson from her. Cerebella is shocked to see that Filia is Filia Medici. Heartbroken Cerebella lashes out but Lorenzo grabs Vice Versa and rips it to pieces. Aeon then reverts all skullgirl candidates that were modified back to themselves before their changes, and Aeon, Venus and Lamia combine their powers to cause the candidates to disappear, save for Double. The candidates end up in a white dimension of nothingness and think back on the times they had and all agreed to set aside their differences and work together.
then they all say "This truly was a Skullgirls: Second Encore"
@@franzfl And they fight the Trinity but Aeon surrenders saying there should be no more bloodshed.
And i like how Fukua is not listed here. Feels like she was watching all of them from the shadows.
I'm considering marie and peacock riding out into the sunset as the Canon end to their stories. My sanity requires it.
47:08 😂 Liar!!! Double literally gave marie that skull heart to wish
Marie's story is like Korosensei, especially if in the anime crossover maybe Marie meets Class 3-E (Assassination classroom) even though Class 3-E is an assassin like Black Dahlia, making Marie feel that Class 3-E is not like Black Dahlia as cruel assassins due ro in fact Class 3-E is people understand about her due to Class 3-E see that Marie just like Korosensei in Aguri form even though Marie is like Korosensei but Class 3-E sees Marie and Peacock like Karma and Nagisa especially Marie maybe could be Naofumi Iwatani's alliance because Marie feels Naofumi is like her especially the boss in Marie's story is like Frieren fighting his clones
This gave me a stroke 😭
@@deadlyqueen7779me too but the concept is nice???
@@somedudefromapharmacysorry but because I very like to Marie story because Marie story almost same just like heroes
Are you autistic
It’s certainly worth the wait!👍
THAT'S NY HIRLFING I LIVE MARIE OG MY GOSH SHE OUTDID EVERY SG CHARACTER
Now I understand "Valentine's other ending"
The first fight againts Peacock, Squigly, and Filia aint a fight. It was a massacre and those three are the victim💀
There’s a reason most fighting game tournaments ban the use of boss characters like goro, galactus, god akuma and regal, and now bloody marie
@@korhol2065that's why they're called snk bosses
Is it just me? Or is that giant skeleton with the horns that acts as Marie’s Stando power actually Mr.Hilgard?
I think thats mr.hilgard, or probably just her creation that was based on hilgards skeletal structure
It is Mr. Hilgard, even has the same ribbon on his horn.
That's the same dude. He died while Marie tried to find help & his skeleton alongside his undying spirit, will ALWAYS be there to protect her, even after his DEATH. 😊
I noticed that too! I was like "wait a minute, it has the same build and ribbon on the horn! Hilgard?" and I think that's actually pretty wholesome. I guess the skeletons around Marie are ones that willfully wanna help her because she's Marie, the girl they cared for, not Marie the skullgirl I'd that makes sense
She straight up said ‘Mr. Hillgard!’ in Parasoul’s fight.
This does put a smile on my face!
👑👑⭐️⭐️This story is OUTSTANDING⭐️⭐️
Best ending
NO FUCKING WAY SKULLGIRLS TURNED INTO CYBER FUCKING PUNK 2077, BRO THAT ENDING LEAVES SO MUCH TO THE IMAGINATION OF THE SEASON 2 PASS.... Also you're Marie was FLAWLESS
Up there witht the original 14 stories under Lab Zero. Some pacing issues along with some annoying retcons like the change of where the orphanage was in Rommelgrad & Patricia not wearing the maid outfit with Marie but I appreciate they finally started to acknowledge the past continuity of events. After the trainwreck of the last three stories (Especially Dahlia's good Christ), this was a great send off.
wait..."Chrome Heart?"
0.0
fingers crossed for a sequel.
Patricia was such an adorable tomboy - red hair, green eyes, cute face....
I hope those bastards paid.
Your pfp got me ptsd
Skullgirls yuri edition
No longer amateur lesbians now they are expert lesbians
This made me love marie even more im so happy for her
2:40
Who is Leviathan referring to? Delilah (Samson's old host) maybe??
13:01
"Don't let your resolve weaken now" SHE'S STILL A CHILD, VALENTINE!! OBVIOUSLY, SHE'S GONNA FEEL BAD!!
21:08 WOAH?! I didn't think I'd ever see Dahlia with her hair down; even if it's not actually her.
28:56
Lol. Classic Parasoul!! Maybe that's why you can see her in Annie's stage in the game☠️
40:40
They probably keep coming back because your still the skullgirl.
55:39
It's nice seeing the previous skullgirls again, and with Annie's mom too! She isn't really talked about or mentioned much besides from the webtoon and Annie's story mode! (She's might be kinda hard to see, but she's on the right side and Marie, behind the skeletons)
56:28
AWWWW MY HEARTT❤❤ 😭
58:02
Oh..i was about to clap, but nevermind; there's more☠️...why does Valentine have those pink shuriken things here (and in the webtoon) but not in the actual game?
59:24
"Chrome heart".....hm. I wonder what chaos THAT will bring..
The one girl in this case is Marie, basically saying "The previous crazy plan was to save the world, this one's just to save one kid"
@@youcantbeatD
OH! Ok, I understand now. I think i just read that part wrong😅
The pink shurikens are to avoid violating the Geneva Convention
No, I'm not joking, it's against the law to make any depictions of the red cross without their permission
Of course, there are pink, but the devs weren't gonna take the risk, as the Red Cross DOES take legal action, it's all for the sake of keeping the red cross as an international symbol of medicine and not muddy the water
About what you said for Valentine, they’re planning on changing her design to have the pink shurikens instead of the crosses. Apparently it’s to avoid copyright stuff with the Red Cross, but I thought it only mattered if they were red
58:53 We knew Valentine was stacked, but who knew Brain Drain also is?
Enhanced those tiddies with science
With the best of science, they have access to the very best breast implants.
Prediction/wishlist: Everyone about to get a "Skullgirl" install. It costs 5 meter, has slow life drain, usable once per match.
So x factor without healing and costs 5 meter? Hell yeah
What about Beowulf and Big Band?
Mobile needs this story to...
thing is mobile is before SG so its story is a big mix of random stuff that existed before Marie got the heart
@@monokomomo4977 ohhh so thats why 2nd encore stories are so long and different
I am satisfied with Marie's story, it is amazing
So... Marie has the best ending but made the sequel set in stone. An artificial skullheart and rogue skullgirl. This set up to lots and lots of new story and possibilities.
thing is past SG the story was already planned in advance since 10 years ago, the next bad was gonna be Eliza but the true endgame was the trinity itself since the heart is still gonna be a threat as long as a shard exists or the trinity themselfs too, now just having brains fake skullheart makes its more complicated since the trinity could kidnap it and make the while skullheart process more chaotic if they can control it fully to make endless hearts to fuck the world with since their heart they can't repair back to normal due to maries will fucking it up
4:36 Bro did the Yukari Spell Card: "Journey to the Abandoned Station” 💀
Wow amazing story!
21:12 OMG BLACK DAHLIA??!,! SHE GOT A WHEM OMGOMGOMGOMG
"the chrome heart!"🤓☝️
I CRIED SO HARD
Marie and Peacock just like Falin and Marcille (Dungeon Meshi)
48:56 Onwards
So there's 3 shades of Marie's imposter. Cyan, Pink and Yellow.
The 3 Goddesses speaking in turn? I get the feeling Venus gets the pink one...
Overall, super excited about what this could mean for the future of Skullgirls & the mobile game story-wise!
But wtf is Brain Drain thinking to make an artificial SkullHeart?!
He’s a lunatic with a visible brain who made a robotic version of a self-mutilating catgirl with a penchant for puns and took a young schoolgirl and made her into the twisted lovechild of Freddy Krueger and Leatherface. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT HIM TO DO?!
its brain drain, what do you think a mad genius would do, he doesn't like to he on the bottom but the top and making his own version of the heart already puts him above everyone for now
IT'S HERE! I GOT A WIND CALLING THAT IT WAS READY AND HERE IT IS!!!!! YEAH!
It's seems the Era Of the Skullgirl is Over ....Or is it 🤨. But I've been realizing this but there was no voice acting in the cutscenes even with Black Dalah , Umbrella, and Annie what gives? did they stop doing that ?
Maybe it will be available when season pass 2 comes out?
Perhaps if they'll announce 3rd Encore
It remains to be seen....
They’re adding full voice acting for the season 1 pass characters in 2025
I hope they do, It would be nice to hear Marie and peacock’s dialogue along with Dalah’s.
the voices is cause they wanna voice act all the dlc characters story on one go so they were waiting for marie to be out so they can bring in all the VOs to do the lines and whatever extra stuff thats needed like the Annie alt voice pack too.
5:40
Protagonist and Antagonist having a photo op moment. 😄😅
13:23
Ayo, Marie has a new battle formation. 😯
Great story, but that Chrome Heart is concerning.
56:05 oh, my.
25:34

Is that… sombrero/tortilla/Albuquerque…?
YURI!!
I'm Marie Korbel
Dry bones from the Mario series: You sure are!😊
Well, this Story Mode was pretty much as interesting as I had hoped and having us start it off with being able to actually Play as the Boss Version of Marie were a very nice touch,
although speaking of which, I was wondering what the Final Boss for this one would be, but I guess it still ended up being Bloody Marie like usual, except this time it was a Bloody Marie that was puppeteered much more directly by The Trinity through Double (I guess), still it ended up being Bloody Marie nonetheless, I guess that does make sense, it is the only true Boss-Like Battle that was designed for this Game and making a entirely New One probably takes too much work, still I do kind of wish that they could’ve at least made some kinds of Alterations to the Bloody Marie Boss Fight somewhat, something that would’ve indicated that we do in fact Fight The Trinity themselves this time around, not directly of course, but you know what I mean,
Hm, thinking about that does make me a little disappointed, i just hope we do get some other Boss-Like Battles in the Future,
Regardless, this Story Mode was still pretty well done all things considered and i really hope it and the Rest of these Latest Stories gets Voiced just like the Originals ended up being and gets Voiced good too, i feel like they deserve good Voice Acting.
As for the Story itself, I wasn’t sure of what I was expecting, but I certainly wasn’t expecting this Story to take us outside of New Meridian and while I was expecting there to be some revelations in a Story Mode like this, I was still not expecting what we got,
It’s good that we got to learn more about the Orphanage that Marie and Patricia once lived at,
but if memory serves, I thought the Orphanage they once lived at was one run by the Medici and i thought Marie was running from the Medici when she first met Double, but i guess not, huh?
Granted, now that i think about it, i guess none of this was really ever specified until now, was it? I could be wrong though and this does bring Marie’s desire for revenge on the Medici into question, unless those Slave Traders were working for the Medici, then I guess this could still work,
Regardless, what do any of you think? Could the Flashbacks in this be considered a Retcon or could they still work alongside the info we had already gotten prior to this Story Mode?
Anyway, as interesting this Story Mode was it did bring some Questions in mind, like for example:
1. How and why did Peacock end up teaming up with Filia and Squigly?
Like having Peacock here is a no brainer and i guess Filia and Squigly could be considered as the Overall Main Characters of this Game, at least that’s the impression I’ve gotten,
but still out of all the other Characters in the Roster, why Filia and Squigly with Peacock?
2. How did they come up with a plan like that?
I say they, but it’s mostly like Peacock who were the one who came up with a plan that crazy, still what caused her to even think of it, when she didn’t for the other Story Modes where she had a Major Role?
3. When does this Story Mode take place?
I mean, one would probably think that it takes place somewhere when all of the other Story Modes End, but in that case one can wonder what might’ve happened previously that eventually lead into this Story Mode’s Beginning?
Honestly, out of all of the Stories in this Game, I feel like this Storyline in particular is one that I would like to learn more about the most.
Speaking of which and I think this might be the biggest one of them all,
4. What’s next from here on?
If I recall correctly, I think there was talk about a Plan that once Marie would be Playable there would be a Story Mode that would move things along for a change and Aeon did mention in the Post-Credits Scene of Double’s Story Mode that at some point there would be a Timeline where all threads converge with one another,
Is this Story Mode it or could we expect one Final Story Mode (for Season 1 at least) that is more akin to those Final Stories that usually seems to be in Games with Multiple Stories based on who you play as?
And if the Latter is the case, would this Final Story Mode take place in its own Timeline or would it be a Continuation of this One?
What do any of you think?
Regardless, this a very nice Story and i hope they won’t be stopping anytime soon.
Iirc, the original backstory did give me the assumption that the orphanage was run by the medici or atleast the implication that marie witnessed what they did to Peacockbut yeah, nothing concrete was shown. It is rather peculiar tho, I guess Hilgard was keeping the kids a secret to protect them from slave traders which begs the question why they were ratted out. Were the people of the village threatened? Did double have something to do with this? why did they burn down the village? it's also interesting in regards to the webcomic, when I read it it seemed like it was more of a city than village
@@hamstersandwich9917 hm, I see, interesting.
I hope we get more clarification.
It seems that a sequel is unavoidable to happen.
to bad it won't happen given that the lead person that had the idea for future games is gone so SG is stuck forever as encore forever, i mean we already have a plot for SG2 being Eliza as the big bad but thats all, let alone the true ending thats missing for SG itself even though they used abit of it for Maries story being the time space ability that was key to beating the skullheart for awhile
It actually kinda makes sense. Marie was too rebellious a Skullgirl.
OMG THEY FINISHED HER STORY MODE ❤🎉🎉
I see they went with Kira voice she used for Talim.
LET'S FUCKING GO!!!!!! finally this game doesn't make me sad
26:08 plzzz tell me th name of the original soundtrack
Ooh! I smell a sequel game from this!
Ok. It’s just me or Chrome heart look like some thing like in warhammer 40k
Praise the omnissiah
59:01 ngl Valentine looks sexier with that doctor's coat on her shoulders
SHIP! SHIP! SHIP!
GHR ENC WAS SO SWEET JM CRUINF
I smell a sequel
nah thats not happening now since the person that did the story left the game so we're stuck with encore forever with endless dlcs, plus they don't trust themself in SG2 given the main threat there is Eliza now
I’m so glad that they stepped up on the artwork the further they got into making the characters past Annie. Annie’s story mode artwork looks weird compared to the art here
Would have loved to have voiced the skeletons
I wonder if we'll ever go up against the trinity
Yayyyyyy Marie ❤
Nobody fighters waiting for there story to appear in Skullgirls mobile
Okay, I have to ask, if they didn’t take so long to get this out cause they were getting the voice acting done for all the story modes, then why the ever loving flip did it take so long for this dlc to release?
cause of consoles, thats why it takes forever for release since sony and nintendo has to test the update for bugs when they submit the update for testing on their side
Is the ending a heart arcana reference
Happy ending! Yay! ( ^ヮ^)
i mean its not really a happy ending given that theres a human made skullheart thats probably worse then the skullheart itself, plus the trinity would have a backup to replace the heart to keep on their will in the world
55:41 skullgirls has execute order 66.
HEAR ME OUT ON BRAIN DRAIN
