Skullgirls/Content Updates & Revisions (June 26th, 2023 patch)

From The Cutting Room Floor
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is a sub-page of Skullgirls.

And you were just a scroll away from being fired too...
Oh dear, I do believe I have the vapors.
This page contains content that is not safe for work or other locations with the potential for personal embarrassment.
Such as: More panty shots, some half-nudes and some deaths (?).
Hmmm...
To do:
  • Removed audio
    • Peacock Anime vs. Double intro
    • Big Band Saxploitation vs. Squigly intro
  • Document replacement of the Real Soviet Announcer from February 6th, 2024 patch, and if possible, compare with the original one removed in this patch.

On June 26th, 2023, following the release of version 5.4 of Skullgirls Mobile, an update was launched to edit various art from the game, "in the spirit of better reflecting our values and our broad vision for Skullgirls moving forward".

HUD

Pre-Patch Post-Patch

The 16th, 17th, and 18th Hit-Count subtitles were altered, rearranging the order and replacing "Barely Legal" with "Rated R".

Production and Key Art

The Main Poster and its background each feature the armband removal and Valentine's redesign, as well as some other differences. The main poster artwork is zoomed out and Encore has been removed from the title, while for the background art, it was made brighter, the Skullgirls logo was repositioned slightly and gained a trademark, and Squigly was added to the image.

Filia's underwear was edited to match her sprite changes.

Another case of Valentine's art being updated to reflect her new design, though noteworthy in that it was one of the few images that had been missed by the previous redesign patch on May 13, 2014 (hence the original crosses still being red instead of pink) and that one cross is still visible by her left leg.

Arcade Sticks

To avoid referencing racial stereotypes, the comb included in her burst animation was removed.

Parasoul, Umbrella and Black Egrets

Various art related to Parasoul, Umbrella, and the Black Egrets had their armbands and other imagery removed or recolored, in order to avoid allusions to World War II/Nazi imagery.

Nothing happened here. This isn´t an horror movie. Or yes?.

Due to potential racial stereotypes, Big Band's starting Story Mode Images explaining his origin were edited, with one being removed entirely.
