    Mini Review: Skullgirls 2nd Encore

    This is a fun fighting game that I completely ignored till now. I'm no expert on fighting games which is why the extensive tutorial this game has will teach you the basics needed to secure a victory. Giving the player information about each fighter lets you understand them a lot more than staring at a move list and trying out each move. Along with a story mode that had a bit more nuance than I expected that left me interesting in learning more about the crazy world of Skullgirls.

    But of the course the main attraction is the fighting which feels good with no real issues with dropping inputs. Sure none of the special moves this game has really push the limits of fighting games since most of them are just quarter circle forward or back. I may not pull them off often but the crazy combos possible in this game are great to see since it usually ends with your enemies loosing 1/3 of their life bar. It is also nice that each character has a different style of combat so you won't see any clones here. (Well Fukua is technically a clone but she plays nothing like Fillia.) If your looking for a over the top fighting game then check this one out it is worth your time. With it's extensive tutorial it isn't a bad first stop for someone new to fighting games as well.
