Skullgirls 2nd Encore+ is a 2D tag team fighting game with a cast of original characters, each animated using traditional hand drawn techniques. Initially released in 2012, it has been periodically updated over the years with new characters and patches, culminating in the '2nd Encore+' subtitle. In 2021, a season pass began, including the new characters Annie, Umbrella, Black Dahlia, and at least one more yet to be revealed.
- Versus series style team game: Skullgirls has mechanics such as assists, DHCs, tags, snapbacks, recoverable health, pushblocking, lenient chain rules, and air blocking. Pushblocking is tied to a guard cancel mechanic, can grant high/low protection, and doesn't cost any resource. After a character KO, the next character will simply enter the battle falling from the side of the screen, Marvel vs Capcom style.
- Resets: When a character recovers from a hit in the air, they will just return to a neutral airborne state. The gameplay flow of Skullgirls emphasizes using resets (intentionally dropping a combo to do a mixup) to maintain momentum after landing a hit. This means the action never stops since a reset can happen at various points in a combo. A skilled player can potentially loop resets into a character KO unless the flow of the match is reversed with one of the many character specific reversal tools.
- Custom assist: Any action can be chosen as an assist, excluding air actions and metered actions. As a result, most characters have multiple viable assist choices. Even things such as dash can be chosen.
- Variable team size: Both players choose their own team size of 1, 2, or 3 characters. The fewer characters you pick, the more health you have and damage you deal, but this is offset by less utility from team mechanics and less life bars.
- Undizzy and IPS (Infinite Protection System): Combos in Skullgirls are flexible since there are many ways to cancel attacks, restands are easy, and there's no hitstun deterioration. To compensate, these mechanics set the limit on how long a combo can be. If these limits are broken, the opponent is allowed to burst out of the combo. However, the burst is not always fail-safe and can be baited and punished with a high damage combo. Keep in mind the built up undizzy value can carry over between resets. Working around the built up undizzy value to either fit in resets or maximize damage on the fly is a key skill at high level.
