Skullgirls/Unused Graphics

This is a sub-page of Skullgirls.

Oh dear, I do believe I have the vapors. This page contains content that is not safe for work or other locations with the potential for personal embarrassment. Such as: Butt grabbing and a dead guy.

This page contains all the unused graphics from Skullgirls.

Arcade Interrupt Graphics

Assets made for the Japanese arcade version of Skullgirls, where single-player gameplay is interrupted if player two joins mid-match. Since this situation cannot occur in the Windows release, these assets go unused.

Unused Character Selection Graphics

To do: Despite Marie release, graphics for "Bloody Marie" name are added in the character selection data. Rip and document them if possible.

An alternate spelling of Squigly's name meant to be used in the character selection screen.

An early version of Squigly's character coin graphic. Her final one has a thinner jaw.

Character graphics for "Unknown" meant for in the character selection screen and versus screens.

Early HUD Icons

Early	Final

Early	Final

Early	Final

Early HUD mugshots for Eliza, Beowulf, and Robo-Fortune can be found alongside the graphics for the HUD. Eliza's pose is the same as her neutral Story Mode portrait which was used in several pieces of placeholder art during her development, while Beowulf is in his idle pose. Robo-Fortune's is almost identical to her final one, albeit low quality and looking off to the side. It is unknown why they exist within the game.

Fukua

Character graphics exist for Fukua, a palette-swapped version of Filia with a very curious origin.

A version of Fukua was eventually made a playable character in the April 1st 2014 update.

Her unused character portrait was reused for her Blockbuster reel image until the Eliza update where it was updated with her modern appearance.

Valentine

Valentine's "normal" cutscene portrait has an unused variant with less revealing clothing. Her outfit also has a red cross, which could indicate this design was made very early, before that aspect of her design was changed.
An odd version of Valentine's suggestive cutscene portrait is present in the files. Valentine seems to be frowning in this one unlike the normal one, it is unknown on what this portrait would be used for.

B&W Black Dahlia

A black and white version of Black Dahlia's Story Mode portrait.

Temporary Beowulf Portraits

Located amongst Beowulf's cutscene portraits are three placeholders.

Beowulf's Chair

In the Digital Art Compendium, there are several sketches of characters lounging on Beowulf's chair, The Hurting, that can be found in either the "grabmode" folder in Beowulf's frame dump, or the "Sketches" folder in Beowulf's Character Art categories respectively.

Filia

Original	Season Pass 1 (Updated during Annie's beta phase)	Season Pass 1 (Updated during Annie's Full Release)

Originally, the image of Filia sitting was left uncolored. In the Season Pass 1 update during the open beta for Annie, the image was updated to be colored in Sepia-Tone, with a bit of shading. Another sketch of Filia sitting can be found in Beowulf's Character Art folder, but it is mostly similar to the original sketch. The only difference is that The Hurting is colored, and Samson's body is more transparent.

Peacock

Peacock is slouching, watching something on an unplugged TV with her buddies Avery and George.

Parasoul is doing a royal perch.

Ms. Fortune quietly rests on The Hurting.

Painwheel is struggling to sit on The Hurting because the Buer Drive is in the way. At least she's trying her best.

Valentine is sitting on The Hurting while being... restrained?

Double is turned into Chairy... while letting a chair sit on top of her.

Eliza sits on a chair in a way that's akin to an Egyptian hieroglyph.

Annie Frames

A frame of Annie and Sagan making an anime-esque strained face. This can be found in the hitstun folder.

An unfinished frame of Annie's tag out animation.

Mrs. Victoria

A rough placeholder image for Mrs. Victoria can be found alongside the graphics for the Class Notes stage. The final game uses an animated version instead.

Umbrella

Umbrella, Parasoul's kid sister, was supposed to be included but was dropped early in development in lieu of Valentine and Double (Squigly suffered a similar fate, only to be reintroduced as DLC later on regardless). Umbrella also did not survive the DLC voting campaign during the 2013 Indiegogo fundraiser. She was announced as a DLC character in 2021 as part of the first season pass, and released in 2022.

Umbrella has a shadowed portrait for Story Mode, which goes unused. In regular gameplay, the shadowed portraits are used in Story Mode when Double imitates the player character.

Joke Story Mode Images

Two joke images found alongside Eliza's and Beowulf's Story Mode graphics, respectively.

Filia Story Mode Frames

Unfinished versions of used frames from Filia's Story Mode.

Filia Story Mode Animation

A close up of Filia's face that was possibly meant to be used for her alternate story mode ending.

Fukua Story Mode Image

A joke image found with the ending graphics of Fukua's Story Mode.

Peacock Story Mode Image

Peacock grinning at her mutilator's corpse. She never does this in-game, but the image is available in both the gallery and the Digital Art Compendium.

Placeholder Graphics

A temporary multiplayer lobby header.

And a controller image or something. Graphics for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 pads are in the game but aren't used by the PC version.

A test level background? Well, it has Test Poo Ver 1.0.

A UV map.
