Skullgirls Mobile is a fighting game (available on Android, iOS) in which players fight with each other in teams of one, two, and up to three characters seeking to knock out their opponents and accumulate their health when time runs out.
The game takes place in the Canopy Kingdom, a fictional universe set in the 1940s, United States. This fictional place is occupied by The basis of the game is the “SkullHeart”, an element that reappears every seven years to grant a wish for women.
The game consists of six-button game fighting: light punch, light kick, medium punch, medium kick, heavy punch, and heavy kick. The buttons have different moves depending if the player is standing, crouching, or jumping.
The basic attacks can be connected together to create simple combos while using a blend of presses and selected inputs. Special attacks can be performed by the players, these special attacks are normally stronger than basic moves.
On the other hand, blockbusters are moves that generate heavy damage as they hit multiple times. However, it requires putting up and expanding a meter called “dramatic tension”.
The game also involves technical characteristics that label and balance common problems in fighting games. Two examples of these are “infinite combo” detection and protection against “unblockable attacks”.
The infinite combo takes place when the player is able to create a cyclic loop of explosive attacks. And the “unblockable attacks” consists of the use of low and high-hitting moves simultaneously.
Such a combo makes it impossible for the opponent to block.
The ratio game system consists of:
- 1v1, 2v2, 3v1,3v2 = 100% of damage and 100% of health
- 2v1,2v3, 3v3 = 115% of health and 130% of damage
- 1v2, 1v3 = 205% of health and 150% of damage
This means teams of 1 get 150% of damage and 205% of health.
Teams of 2 get 130% of damage and 115 of health.
And finally, teams of 3 get 100% of damage and 100% of health.
Main game modes
The diversity of game modes consists of story modes, online play, arcade modes, tutorial modes, and training modes. All of which are the central or basic game systems.
In the first game mode, the player follows an individual character and fights different characters as they make their way to get the SkullHeart, the main element of the game.
So, in this mode, the player only uses a single character and clears the end while getting the end of the game.
On the other hand, Arcade mode is the most traditional single-player mode where you use a selected team of characters to fight against others through the game to the end.
3) Exp Boosters
The first way to obtain XP is by using EXP boosters which should be used or consumed from the player’s stash which can last for 4 hrs and 12 hrs. EXP boosters can be obtained from gifts while playing with new friends and exchanging gifts.
2) Repeating Story Mode Fights
The second way to get XP is by repeating story mode fights, the stronger the opponent character gets the % of XP the player receives, it will increase once the character evolves their powers and abilities every time the player wins.
1) Prize Fights
The third way to get XP is prize fights, this mechanism consists of a sequence of rotating events where the player is fighting against defence teams named by other players. Each offense and defense win games to facilitate rewards and points for reaching milestones and overall rankings.
The points the player get as an outcome of prize fights is calculated with the following formula:
Score += (Total Fighter Score) * Bounty * Multiplier
Every character could get their own prize fight based on four different difficulties for each character: bronze, gold, silver, and diamond.
Each character’s prize fight has several different fight modifiers and they last for at least three days.
In summary, to gain EXP points it’s best to use a combination of all three methods listed for maximum efficiency and earning more EXP in a shorter amount of time.
