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.
Debug
These options are used by developers to troubleshoot bugs, but players can also use them to investigate game behavior.
-debugkeys
- Available in Training Mode or Replay Theatre.[6]
- 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.[7]
- 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[7][8][9]
- LP toggles hitboxes
- MP toggles "simple" attack data
- LK toggles input display (P1 is bottom/left, P2 is top/right)
- MK toggles 25% 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 not be 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.Cite error: Closing

Online
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
