Characters

Skullgirls 2nd Encore+ is a 2D tag team fighting game initially released in 2012. Since then, it has been periodically updated with new characters and patches, culminating in the '2nd Encore+' subtitle. In 2021, a season pass was announced including four new characters.

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 various points in a combo. The speed and pacing of resets are brutal, but the set of universal defense mechanics and strong reversals can give the defender a chance to answer back.

• 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 damage you deal, but with 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 built up undizzy value to either fit in resets or maximize damage on the fly is a key skill at a 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
