With hand drawn animations, lively colors, and wicked characters, Skullgirls by Autumn Games shined brightly at their booth during PAX East 2010. Though only with two characters to play as during the demo, each character was amazing with their handling and personality.
Cereballa wears a hat that transforms into two muscular arms, providing this circus character with most of her moves. Filia, who is an schoolgirl with amnesia, is paired up with hair that has a ferocious appetite for battle. Both girls are quite different but their abilities for battle easily rival each other.
The minute details to the characters are amazing, from the simple reactions to getting hit to their reactions to defending, ducking, and jumping; every last item on their body is animated, and done with such fluidity, it causes this game to look amazing.
Though I didn't have much time to play the demo, I was impressed to see things like the characters and backgrounds in the style they were. Other little things like either going in with one strong character or tag teaming with two characters, custom assist moves, and shadowing of moves leave the audience wanting more and I can't wait to see this in full force later this year.
