Let's Discuss: Skullgirls

[Grahav]

But...Peacock isn't a villain. She's an anti-Skull Girl weapon. Technically, she's the second most heroic of the cast. (Painwheel is also an anti-Skull Girl weapon, but shes completely insane, even more so than Peacock; Filia is just some girl who kills people because a demonic parasite tells her to; Cerebella is a member of the Mafia; Ms. Fortune is a thief who wants revenge; and Valentine works for the Skull Girl. The only person more heroic is Parasoul, because she wants to destroy the Skull Heart so that there can be no more Skull Girls.)

You know, I just thought about that...and...yeah. A psychopathic serial killer is the second most 'good' character in this game. That's an...issue.

Yeah, what Peacock is is an enigma. Is she a hero? Is she a villain? Somehow it seems like she's... er... chaotic neutral evilgood? I don't even know what to make of her alignment. @- @

Painwheel, I don't know what to make of her either because er likes/dislikes on the main site seem really at odds with her otherwise being totally mental. I mean, she likes flowers, puppies, and long walks on the beach. What?

Appaaaaarently Filia is "the closest thing this game has to a protagonist", but even so... Yeah, I don't even know. The devs have been really good about not giving away any plot spoilers, which isn't bad, but until I get to play it all the way through I think I'll just be totally baffled.

Peacock is easy to figure. She kills stuff. Doesn't matter to her if it is evil or good. What is happening is that her bosses want her to kill an evil thing. If the current Skullgirl dies she might get bored after a little while...

Why Filia? I mean, when I look at all of the characters, I would say that Filia is most protagonist-y, although I can't figure out why.

Parasoul is the only person with good motives. Why can't she be the protagonist? /sad

Anyway, I think Painwheel's likes/dislikes are actually Carol's likes/dislikes. If it were actually for Painwheel, it would probably be something like...

Likes: Pain, KIIIIIILL, blood, KIIIIIILL, destruction, KIIIIILLLL
Dislikes: Everything else

The game has a HAT WITH ARMS. That's definitely a vote in its favour.

It's name is Vice-Versa.
