How is it possible for a fighting game to have so many bad character designs? None of them in this game look like the kinda characters that would make you say I'll pick up this game to play them. There's also no clear indication of what kinda fighting game archtype they play as at a glance.

What kind of fighting game archetypes are they?

shitty body """horror""" art deco theme

3 of them are grapplers
Stargirl seems like a shoto? Idk
Umbrella looks like a zoner.

>Umbrella looks like a zoner.
Umbrella's a grappler, her whole gimmick is based around eating the opponent

>3 of them are grapplers
How is Big Band a grappler?

SG might be a lot of things but there's no way they have bad chara designs kek.
I refuse to think someone unironically think this (even if we're on Any Forums where FGs are unplayable for the average user)

Huge guys are supposed to be grapplers most of the time.

Big Band doesn't even have goddamn hands, which are generally what the huge guys use to grapple

There's considerable overlap between big guys and grapplers but not all big guys are grapplers

>Umbrella looks like a zoner.
How so?

>Implying every big guy in other games are grapplers
>Implying most "Wrestling guy" characters in other games are not grapplers

Which is what what mean. If your a fan of huge grabber guys. There's no character in skullgirls that fits this archtype.

Cerebella has huge grabber hands

>Birdie
>Goldlewis
>Juggernaut
>Grapplers

What character archetype is Black Dahlia?

Also look how unappealing their Mc is compared to every fighting game Mc is ever

Hug

Filia's not the actual MC, they just like to pretend she is. Umbrella's the actual protagonist of the story, and if you're wondering why the protagonist wasn't added until almost exactly a decade after release, it's because nothing about Skullgirls' development makes sense

>Nobody likes birdie
>goldlewis is ugly af
>juggernaut is a fucking marvel character not a fighting game original

Not red enough huh.

Nobody gives a shit about Filia as a character, they just jerk off to her

Damn umbrella the a main character? So I guess the point is that skullgirls just expects you to believe she has as much charisma as like every other Mc despite looking like some random background character.

Umbrella is literally just the Morton's Salt girl except her umbrella has eyes. Also her name is just fucking Umbrella for some reason

She calls Fukua sus. Is that charismatic?

There's a reason main characters have red and black themes. It's what appeals to boys. The main demographic fighting games should be going for.

>Liu Kang
>Charisma
There's a reason its always Scorpion in the box art.

>People still play Birdie even if "nobody likes him"
>Oh no... user doesn't like the look of big fat american, oh no whatever he going to do about his archetype not being grappler
>Oh no, juggernaut is not a original character but still a fighting character in fighting games, whatever I will do about him not being a grappler.
Seethe and dilate, it won't change a fact that not all big guys are grapplers.

Scorpion also gets treated as a fucking joke in the story all the time. Liu Kang is the one the story hypes up. Scorpion being on the box cover is essentially click bait lol.

And the final boss is just some kid dressed like a maid who's effectively just a wall that throws projectiles at you and who is completely unplayable despite physically just being a little girl and not some huge setpiece. And you see that weird skeleton vaccum cleaner she has. Literally never used at all during her fight
