Around the time of PAX East 2011, I was introduced to an interesting 2D fighting game being shown on the Expo Hall floors known as Skullgirls. Being an avid lover of 2D, hand-drawn animation and of fighting games in general, I took an interest, learning it would be released as a Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade game sometime within the next year.
It wasn’t until I learned that Michiru Yamane, famed for her works in the Castlevania franchise where I first drew my love of her, was I truly hooked on making this game both a playing priority, and more importantly keeping in on the top rungs of my need-to-listen checklist. Thusly, I set out to indulge myself in a old friend’s musical exploits with Skullgirls.
Find out if the music filled my hollow skull after the jump! (more…)
