Skullgirls 2nd Encore+

Skullgirls is a 2D tag team fighting game developed by Lab Zero. Since its initial release in 2012, six characters have been added alongside many patches. 2nd Encore+ is the subtitle of the latest major patch released in 2017. In 2020 the game received new updates with netcode improvements, new features, and miscellaneous fixes.

Skullgirls emphasizes using resets (intentionally dropping your combo to do a mixup) to maintain momentum after landing a hit. This means the action never stops since a reset point can occur at nearly any point in a combo. The strength of offense is brutal, but the set of universal defense mechanics and strong reversals provide options to turn the tables. There are also a plethora of ways to craft your team and gameplan.

• Versus series style team game: Assists, DHCs, tags, snapbacks, recoverable health, lenient chain rules, and air blocking
• Custom assist: Choose your assist from any grounded non-super move in a character's move set.
• Variable team size: Both players choose their own team size of 1, 2, or 3 characters. The less characters, the more health you have and the more damage you deal, but less utility provided by team mechanics.
• Undizzy and IPS (Infinite Protection System): These mechanics set rules for how combos can be structured and for how long, effectively replacing the role of hitstun deterioration. If these rules are broken, the opponent is allowed to burst out of the combo. Working around the undizzy value, which can carry over between combos, to execute resets on the fly is a key skill at high level.

Wiki Roadmap

80% complete

In Progress / Completed

To-do

Fill out season pass character pages when it becomes possible. Update patch notes page and relevant wiki sections to reflect new updates. Character sub pages are varying levels of complete Combo sub pages generally are mostly complete but optimizations for consistency and/or damage are always welcome. Some reset pages are just videos, although the videos are very extensive, the pages themselves could benefit from text transcription. Strategy pages are varying levels of complete, and may benefit from text transcription of videos.

Endless tasks: Add links to resources (on Skullgirls/Links and on character link subpages) Keep community page up to date
