Product Synopsis
   What is Skullgirls 2nd Encore?
   Skullgirls is a fast-paced, 2D fighting game developed by Reverge Labs and lead by tournament champ Mike “Mike Z” Zaimont and artist Alex “o_8” Ahad. Drawing on the best features the genre has to offer, Skullgirls is designed to be a tournament-grade fighter while remaining approachable and engaging for the casual player. Skullgirls 2nd Encore is the ultimate edition of Skullgirls.

» Skullgirls features the most frames of animation per character of any fighting game, hand-drawn at high resolution and enhanced by real-time lighting courtesy of a powerful 3D engine
» Classic six-button play gives characters a huge variety of attacks and special moves
» With the Variable Tag Battle system, players can pit mismatched teams of one, two or three characters against one another
» Custom Assists let you outfit your team with a huge variety of attacks for nearly endless strategic possibilities
» A robust anti-infinite combo system keeps competitive play free of abusive tactics
» Robust tutorials and an AI designed to teach eases new players into the traditionally intimidating fighting game genre and helps you improve from there
» Official GGPO netcode ensures lag-free fighting online
» A stunning soundtrack by Castlevania: Symphony of the Night composer Michiru Yamane draws you into the game’s unique “Dark Deco” world

   In addition to the game you know and love, Skullgirls 2nd Encore includes the following:

» All DLC characters
» Fully voiced story modes
» New Challenges
» New Trials
» New Survival Mode
» Cross-play with the PS3 and PS Vita releases
» PlayStation 3 fightstick support
» Full platinum trophy set

   We intend to have Skullgirls 2nd Encore out before the projected 7/31 release date listed on the pre-order page, but can’t confirm anything until the game passes Sony certification. When it does, we’ll update you on the release date.

   When Will the PS Vita Version Release?
   Skullgirls 2nd Encore will be arriving on PS Vita after the initial PS4 release. We’re aiming to have it out around 6 weeks after the PS4 launch, but that may change.

   The Vita version is up and running, but needs further optimization and multiplayer testing before we’d feel comfortable releasing it.

   What About Multiplayer Lobbies?
   Multiplayer Lobbies will be coming to the PS4, Vita and PS3 versions of Skullgirls! However, the PS4 and PS Vita versions will not launch with Lobbies.

   The PS3, PS4 and PS Vita releases of Skullgirls are cross-play compatible, but we didn’t have time to work lobbies into those releases. Rather than leave the PS4 version only half cross-play compatible, we chose to delay lobbies and launch them simultaneously on all three platforms.

   Preorders for the Playstation 4 and Playstation Vita versions of Skull Girls 2nd Encore are welcome to ship on January 28, 2016. Reservations are also welcome for the Playstation 4 and Playstation Vita limited 'Skull Heart Box' editions which include a 32-page 'Art of Skullgirls' illustrations booklet by Alex Ahad and an original soundtrack.
