Skullgirls Mobile: Squigly Origin (Cutscenes only)

well back to the grind fellas

[@Robert_EO_Beanzwagon]

Skullgirl: Dies Squigly: Finally, we can rest... Marie: Becomes the skullgirl Squigly: GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!!

[@skykelly7230]

So she comes back every 7 years?

[@georgeuferov1497]

Black Dahlia be like: hmmm, Selena willingly gives me Skull Heart, everything goes well... let's kill her daughter, I'm sure she won't use this artefact to transform into Skullgirl, nothing can go wrong

[@SuperPoopatron]

Honestly, thanks to Black Dahlia's story. It now makes enough sense. She is bloodthirsty and insane enough to want to fight a Skullgirl. She was trying to do that with Ms Fortune.

So you feel "double" the hatred

Double was just doing her job at being evil

[@DontInterractWithMeBetween9-5.]

Just so you know fanfic characters aren't lived because they do heroic things, instead they're loved because they have an interesting character and not your typical character in role (be it protagonist to antagonist).

Want to hear something I think would be kind of sweet? If Big Band was actually telling the last part of the of the story mode to Peacock and she's actually really interested and even asks if she might be able to meet Squigly herself one day and he says "maybe, once the next Skullgirl emerges"...

It still kinda urks me how the mobile game has more lore than the original.

[@J03_M4m4]

Yeah it kinda bugs me too

[@koto2211]

@@J03_M4m4 On the other hand, the sales from the mobile game are low key keeping the series alive, just look at all the palettes that were added to 2nd encore, alongside new animations and a new map. Hell just the mobile game sales are enough to develop a brand new character that will probably be added to 2nd encore later.

[@Skerp129]

@@koto2211 everything was added to the pc release since the main original programmer came back from working on indivisible (I also assume the current crisis situation gave him some free time as well) so it's not really because a budget was given more or less because someone who knows how to code the game properly came back.

[@ihaveaplan.ijustneedmoney.9777]

I dont really mind tbh. Its still the same franchise and both lore and storytelling remains the way we know it. Other titles have their lore/writing twisted and ruined once they get bonus media or spinoffs.

[@koto2211]

@@Skerp129 You really cannot say that every new asset from SGM was added because of a single person you know? Those assets were created *for* the mobile game, *especially* the palettes as each palette is considered a different fighter in the game-- not because the main programmer wanted to. They need to keep adding stuff to the mobile game if they want it to stay relevant and the benefit of it is that almost everything is added to 2nd encore. They needed to make intro animations for each fighter rarity tier, they needed to make animations for the stun mechanics for each character and they need to keep making/bringing in new palettes for each character to keep things fresh. Could these assets have been added a while ago to 2nd encore? Yes. That doesn't means they were not created for mobile in mind. New stuff added to mobile = more stuff to put on sale = more budget that can be used to add new stuff to both mobile and 2nd encore, such as brand new characters, which is exactly what mobile is getting this year. If the sales from relic shop and ad revenue is enough, the developers will try to put the new character on 2nd encore, but it all depends on how well it sells on mobile.

If it is any consolation, if Squigly does want to stay dead. All she has to do is ask Leviathan to leave her skull and have her cremated.

[@rebeccalotto8001]

but it sends a chill down my spine, marie picks up where selene left off

[@derrickdavis3888]

I realized that after her family's death. Did you know Roberto has Leviathan wrap around his neck. And then he told him to protect Squigly at all cost during after 14 years later of her revival. Leviathan manage to awaken her. And most importantly that I didn't know that they we're nephews for the Contiello Company. I feel bad for Squigly. It reminds me from Sonic Unleashed. That once every years another Skullheart it only brings death and despair repeat itself since it reviving Squigly and Leviathan over and over again. It's somehow makes people feel the same way like it says ( Your death always be the end of the trail of you love who you remember all and it will put you back together again to bring you back for eternal entity.) Besides for Squigly was brought back to life as a undead Zombie from the Skullheart. Now that she's 28 due to her death at 14. Leviathan will aid her at all cost to the very end. Squigly is a innocent daughter in the inside, but when she feels kind-hearthed for the people in the outside. For Leviathan as a guardian parent to protect Squigly at all cost he help her to teach fighting techniques to defend herself. For their quest they must find the Skullheart to remove the darkness out of their heart to find light and so they can find rest in peace in the heavens with her family.

This is great we get more lore in skullgirls and more of what went down after Squigly's mother be came a skullgirl. But there's one important information that was left out..... WHY does she go by her nickname Squigly!?!?! Is it an inside joke she and her parents came up with??? Something she attaches to with the nickname!?!? I DON'T NEED SLEEP I NEED ANSWERS!!!!!!!!!

Im late but according to Alex, it had something to do with Squigly's other talent which is she can contort her body, hence Squigly Squigly is also a cute nickname to people she is close too

Thanks for sharing this. Didn't get the opportunity to play the mobile game. Kinda prefer the PC ver to be honest. I've always been interested in Skullgirls lore. This game gives so much.

[@WillieManga]

Honestly, it's very strange how much this mobile game adds to the franchise. I am not sure if it makes Skullgirls Mobile good, but it does seem to actually do something unlike a certain wizard-based mobile game.

[@hamstersandwich9917]

Financially, it's nice to have some backbone they can rely on since Skullgirls always struggled with funding, but lore-wise? It's pretty neutral as the game only expands on things that were already told in the base game unlike a _certain_ _mobile_ _rpg_

[@morsayxd]

Oh we already know squigly back story in the game

[@rebeccalotto8001]

this goes into waaay more detail

[@MT-jd8pc]

One sound: bang

[@masteruni6885]

so basically Squigly is a being born to end the skullgirl, she's basically just an endless titan. she beat the first skullgirl, she'll rise to beat them all. I fucking love her more now

[@Roze_aye]

Ok. But then who dresses squigly in her main game attire, and sew her mouth shut?

[@maverickdarkrath4780]

Eh probably the medichis sew her mouth as a way to permanently silence her after finding her body the second time, the cloths were probably the skull girls doing when she was revived by Marie, still kinda odd that they looked over that detail and didn't address it

[@MelatoninGummez]

The Medicis, duh

[@hoppyman11]

According to the Wiki: "Lorenzo organized and attended the funeral of the Contiellos himself, but it was during this time that he stitched Squigly's mouth together, in an attempt to hide his role in the fall of her family." And I guess those clothes are what she was buried in. If I had to guess MAYBE a family tradition thing? It could have been better explained.

[@originalname7951]

It’s explained in her 2nd encore story modeling

[@koto2211]

The contiellos had a funeral, which means someone retrieved the bodies of what was left of selene and Roberto and Squiggly, fully intact since she just drops dead. Before they were buried the medicis stitched her mouth shut since Lorenzo was there when Selene attacked and saw Squiggly speak and fight Selene, so they knew she'll revive again the next time a Skullgirl would appear and so they did it just in case Squiggly would come up and say that the Medicis sent Dalia to kill the Contiellos.
