Yeah! She's a great character and I wish we could play as her. Though I hope they don't play off her "loli" archetype, or try to make her perverse like some of the fans do, if they actually add her. :/

Ughhh, you and me both buddy. I fear that more than anything, she's such a great character but if they try to sexualize her I will be very disappointed. <://// Here's hoping that if she does become playable that doesn't happen!! I'm so curious to see what her moveset would be like, and her scenario especially!! I love all the storylines in the game so much so I'm eager to see what hers would be like. *O*

I'm the exact same way man! Actually cool to see someone else who looks at it like me for once.

To be honest, I don't like the sexualization of the other characters at all, to me it feels like they had awesome designs for characters, gave them great personalities and backstories, then told them to strip. My favorite character is Valentine for crying out loud, but it still annoys me with all the boobie hanging out. (Which character is your favorite besides Umbrella?) Like, it doesn't make the character any more cool/interesting, in my opinion. Just an excuse to get more people to play it, for the "fan"-service. That's one of the reasons why Cerebella's my least fave, besides her story mode... ( rip Nadia ;( )

lol sorry rant over

Nah it's ok, I honestly totally get where you're coming from on this and agree!! I love the style and character designs in the game SO MUCH, but some of the sexualization is kind of discomforting?? Particularly Filia and Painwheel since they're still underage. Fillia has... some really awkward poses and faces in my opinion. BUT YEAH, it really can be bothersome considering all the other aspect of the game are so solid?? The characters are all really interesting and all of their scenarios are really neat. And just the lore of the game in general is so interesting and I wish they would expand more on it!! They handled peacock well though, who I believe is the youngest, so here's hoping that if Umbrella becomes playable, she'll be on the same boat. ;v;

Also to answer your question, besides Umbrella I really love Brain Drain honestly. (': He's also a super interesting character I wish they would expand on... But of the main cast, right now I have to say probably Parasoul and Painwheel!! Peacock and Big Band too. OOO:

Oh good, I sometimes choose in-opportune times to vent my personal thoughts on matters, and usually with people who don't even agree, haha.

I absolutely adore Alex Ahad's style, man. It's so bubbly, expressive, rich, colorful, round, and so fresh, especially these days! I can immediately tell when it's his art. His creativity really inspires me to be honest, so I feel dissapointed in the direction the characters took in Skullgirls.

Yeah, Filia and Painwheel are young, and have lots of panty shots/boob shots. Really weird, creepy in fact. A lesser known fact that is that Squigly is actually 14, just her body has been dead for 7 years, so "technically", *coughnotreallycough* she's 21, which people justify her "booty game", I guess?? Uhh... enjoy your necrophilic, pedophilic fantasies, guys. (I don't really find her amazing anyways, she's original yes but I don't get the hype)

Yeah, the game is so solid. It's in my top 5 favorite games ever, and I usually don't enjoy fighters! The characters, story, music, atmosphere, art, scenery, jokes, and lore really set it apart from other fighters, and even other games in general. The lore itself, if expanded on and centralized, is book worthy, if not manga or novel worthy. Heck, I might even start writing it in volumes of 2, for two characters' arcs that intertwine, (like Ms. Fortune and Cerebella, Marie and Peacock, Valentine and Painwheel, etc). It needs to be done by someone, lol. But yeah, I feel if they made her a saltier Peacock she'd ve great.

To finish off my huge reply, I love Brain Drain as well, really one of the coolest designs in game, and an interesting position in the world of Skullgirls. Didn't love his official voice but it works, I suppose.

Peacock is so cute. Parasoul has a cool attack style, units and I like her sweater/skirt combo. Big Band is super sweet but he's so op. xD

Painwheel is actually super cute, and I love her looks. Terrible story though, honestly so mean spirited for a poor little girl. At least Filia makes it right for her in her story.

Ahh yeah I get you there!! Sometimes this can be a difficult thing to actually vent about and get agreement on, but I'm with you on every point.

OH JEEZ I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT ABOUT SQUIGLY WOW, that is... pretty gross ugh. Like god, we have perfectly good adult characters too, please just leave the underage characters be. I do like Squigs, but she isn't one of my favs. She has a super cute design and I love her concept just like all the other characters, but she definitely isn't a top fav for me.

Oh man I would so love for them to just expand on the world even more!! That's probably what I want from the series more than anything, because aside from the fantastic character designs, the lore is what really drew me in. It's definitely one of my favorite games at the moment!!

I haven't heard Brain Drain's official voice yet, so I can't say much on that!! I need to search for that soon. OOO:

Yes, I'm glad Painwheel got to be alright in at least one timeline, she really deserves happiness. )':

*superlatereply*

Good, I'm glad! It's really comforting to know that there are other fans who feel the same way about the game as me.

But yeah, about Squigly, it's true. Really sad too, she's sweet. I just think we shouldn't have much if any "fan service" at all. I like her design too and I love her voice/dynamic with Leviathan! I just think the hype over-extends the character. Hmm... I'd say she's actually probably in my top 5 or 6 characters.

Yeah, the story is great! If anyone ever wants to work with me and help write stories out of the story modes and hidden info, I'd have a total field day.

Did you hear Brain Drain's voice? What did you think?

Agreed. That's why pics like yours are needed to give her solace.
