Setting Launch Options
- Right click on Skullgirls in the Steam library → 'Properties' → 'Set Launch Options...'.
- Each option is preceded by a '-'. Multiple options are separated by a space. For example: "-nomenuwrap -fw -socdlikehitbox"
Accessibility
These options were added to assist blind players.[1]
- Disables menu wrapping, so pressing up on the top menu item will not wrap to the bottom, and vice versa.
- Disables wrapping on the team size choice, character select grid, assist type choice, and custom assist confirmation menus.
-useclipboard
- Copies the text in the game to the clipboard, allowing screenreaders and similar software to read it aloud.
- Adds a sound to the hitstun/blockstun recovery spark. The recovery spark only occurs on combos over 2 hits.[2]
-useclipboardsound
- Same as -useclipboard but adds a sound every time the copy target changes (i.e. when you move the cursor).
Controller
-defaultkeys
- Resets the keybindings to default on startup. Keybindings can still be configured in-game, but will reset every time until this option is removed.[3]
- Same effect as going to 'Help & Options' → 'Controls' → 'Restore Defaults', then 'Accept'.
-socdlikehitbox
- Changes the input parser to interpret simultaneous Up + Down inputs as an Up input instead of the usual neutral input.[4] See SOCD).
-vjoyfix
- Forces the game to poll a controller's POV hat if the driver says it's supported.[5]
- Warning: This removes functionality of PS3 controllers and other similar DirectInput controllers.
Developer
-debugkeys
- Available in Training Mode or Replay Theatre.
- Press the '-' key once to slow down the game to 25% speed. Press it a second time to pause the game. Each press after that will advance the game by a single frame.
- You can still control your character in the paused state by keeping inputs held when tapping the '-' key.
- Press the '=' key to undo slow down or pausing caused by the '-' key.
- Press the '0' key to pause the game/resume the game at full speed.
-enablereplays
- While enabled, each match you play will save a replay which can be viewed under 'Extras' → 'Replay Theater' in the main menu.
- Replay menu controls:
- Left/Right moves selection by 1
- Up/Down moves selection by 25
- LP/LK/MP starts a replay
- MK/Select exits.
- Playback controls
- LP toggles hitboxes
- MP toggles attack data
- LK toggles input display (P1 is bottom/left, P2 is top/right)
- MK toggles slow motion
- HP rewinds by 1 in game second
- Left+HP rewinds by 5 in game seconds
- HK fast forwards playback, hold left/right to go faster/slower
- Start pauses just like in game.
- Automatic Replay Viewer is a very useful program written by Mao for automatically viewing replays in succession, allowing you to easily leave recording software on to record entire sets.
- Replay save location
- Each replay has two files: a .ini file and a .rnd file
- Windows:[My Documents directory]\Skullgirls\Replays
- Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Skullgirls/Replays
- Replays must be named with consecutive numbering in order to be listed in the Replay Theatre.
- e.g. If the replay directory already contains round_0001 through round_0005, and round_0103 is copied into the directory, it must be renamed to round_0006. Otherwise it will notbe visible in-game.
- If the game launches with over 9,998 replays, it will delete the newest ones.
-log
- Creates a file that logs the game's actions and processing. This file allows a developer to identify bugs in the game.
- skullgirls.log save location
- Windows:[My Documents directory]\Skullgirls\Save Data
- Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Skullgirls/Save Data

These options affect the online versus experience.
-ascendhigher
- Adds 'Extra Frame Delay' to the menu under 'Help & Options' → 'Settings' which adjusts the amount of additional input delay.
- "the short version is: if you want the game on PC to feel like PS4, always keep your GGPO delay at 1 and while playing offline or in training mode, set Extra Frame Delay to 1. Ideally you should remember to set Extra Frame Delay back to 0 before playing online. but if you don't, your rollbacks will be 1f worse than normal (as if you had 33 more ping than normal)" - Mr Peck
