Arcade Interrupt Graphics
![]()
Assets made for the Japanese arcade version of Skullgirls, where single-player gameplay is interrupted if player two joins mid-match. Since this situation cannot occur in the Windows release, these assets go unused.
Unused Character Selection Graphics

An alternate spelling of Squigly's name meant to be used in the character selection screen.


An early version of Squigly's character coin graphic. Her final one has a thinner jaw.



Character graphics for "Unknown" meant for in the character selection screen and versus screens.

Early HUD mugshots for Eliza, Beowulf, and Robo-Fortune can be found alongside the graphics for the HUD. Eliza's pose is the same as her neutral Story Mode portrait which was used in several pieces of placeholder art during her development, while Beowulf is in his idle pose. Robo-Fortune's is almost identical to her final one, albeit low quality and looking off to the side. It is unknown why they exist within the game.
Fukua



![]()
Character graphics exist for Fukua, a palette-swapped version of Filia with a very curious origin.
A version of Fukua was eventually made a playable character in the April 1st 2014 update.

Her unused character portrait was reused for her Blockbuster reel image until the Eliza update where it was updated with her modern appearance.
Valentine

Valentine's "normal" cutscene portrait has an unused variant with less revealing clothing. Her outfit also has a red cross, which could be this design was made very early before the censorship of that particular part.
B&W Black Dahlia
![]()
A black and white version of Black Dahlia's Story Mode portrait.
Temporary Beowulf Portraits
![]()
![]()
![]()
Located amongst Beowulf's cutscene portraits are three placeholders.
Beowulf's Chair
| Original | Season Pass 1 Update |
|---|---|
For some reason, there's a graphic of Filia sitting on The Hurting that's found in the grabbing file. In Season Pass 1 update, the image has now colorized in Sepia-Tone.
Annie Frames
![]()
A frame of Annie and Sagan making an anime-esque strained face. This can be found in the hitstun folder.
![]()
An unfinished frame of Annie's tag out animation.
Mrs. Victoria

A rough placeholder image for Mrs. Victoria can be found alongside the graphics for the Class Notes stage. The final game uses an animated version instead.
Marie and Umbrella Assets
Marie
![]()
![]()



Marie, the final boss, has graphics for the character select screen. No corresponding character select portrait or face icon exist. It was likely she was intended to have been included as a playable character. Marie was later included as a potential candidate in the DLC voting campaign during the 2013 Indiegogo Fundraiser, but lost to Eliza and Beowulf. An eye-level image intended for the HUD when using a team is also present.
Marie has an image intended for the Blockbuster reel that appears when a character activates their Blockbuster. Even though she does gain meter, she has no Blockbusters defined so this image is never seen.
Umbrella
Umbrella, Parasoul's kid sister, was supposed to be included but was dropped early in development in lieu of Valentine and Double (Squigly suffered a similar fate, only to be reintroduced as DLC later on regardless). Umbrella also did not survive the DLC voting campaign during the 2013 Indiegogo fundraiser. Nonetheless, remnants of her still exist in the game - and she still may be added at a future date due to her alleged importance in Parasoul's story line.

Umbrella's name and character "chip" for the character select screen.
![]()
Umbrella also has a shadowed portrait for Story Mode, which goes unused. In regular gameplay, the shadowed portraits are used in Story Mode when Double imitates the player character.
Joke Story Mode Images
![]()
![]()
Two joke images found alongside Eliza's and Beowulf's Story Mode graphics, respectively.
Filia Story Mode Frames
![]()
![]()
Unfinished versions of used frames from Filia's Story Mode.
Filia Story Mode Animation
![]()
A close up of Filia's face that was possibly meant to be used for her alternate story mode ending.
Fukua Story Mode Image
![]()
A joke image found with the ending graphics of Fukua's Story Mode.
Peacock Story Mode Image
![]()
Peacock grinning at her mutilator's corpse. She never does this in-game.
Placeholder Graphics

A temporary multiplayer lobby header.

And a controller image or something. Graphics for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 pads are in the game but aren't used by the PC version.
