     INTRODUCTION
o---------------------o

This one of the most wierdest fighting games that I've ever come across. You're
taking on the role of one of the eight girls currently playable and have to beat
all the other opponents but the part that is wierd is the way the girls look in
the game. You got Filia who has a ferocious 2nd mouth in the back of her head,
you got Cerebella who has a hat with two big arms that can attack, and you also
got Ms. Fortune who can take off her head and put it on at will to name a few.

         STORY
o---------------------o

Legend tells of a mysterious artifact known as the �Skull Heart� that has the
power to grant a young woman�s wishes. Of course, there�s a catch. If she has an
impure heart, even a selfless wish will be twisted in the most vile of ways:
peace brought through brutality, eternal life through perpetual childhood, or a
lost love returned as an undead monster.

Hundreds have sought the Skull Heart, but so far none have been deemed worthy
and spared its cruel power. Those judged impure are transformed into the fearful
instrument of their twisted wish� a pale and lovely tempest, a beautiful 
nightmare � the Skullgirl!

o---------------------o
  GLOSSARY/XTRA NOTES
o---------------------o

Throughout the guide you will see say things like OTG, Wallbounce, and Ground
Bounce to name a few.

OTG = Off the ground (hits opponents who had just been knocked down)

Wallbounce will knock opponent into the wall and make them bounce off and be
open for more damaged. First introduced in Waku Waku 7 to my knowledge.

Ground Bounce will make the opponent bounce of the ground and be open for more
damage.

Overheads are usually ground attacks that will hit an opponent who is blocking
low. Jumping attacks are automatic overheads.

Outtakes are used in matches where there are 2 or 3 opponents. Connecting with
it knocks the current fighter offscreen and brings in one of their partners whom
is determined by the buttons used. 

Stunt Double tags in a partner during block but it costs a super bar.

Blockbuster Sequels allow you to cancel the current Blockbuster and attack with
one of your partners blockbuster. If you've played Marvel vs Capcom series or to
an extent Tatsunoko vs Capcom, you know how it works.

The game comes with an Infinite Protection System. During combos, you will see a
bar form under the attacked fighter and when it runs out, the combo will end. It
is in place to prevent infinites and make fights fair.

Pushblocks will push the opponent back further away from you after a block and
it allows for a quicker recovery from block. It also works on projectiles too.

o---------------------o
       MOVELIST
o---------------------o

Each characters have a unique set of moves to execute. Blockbuster moves costs
up to the full 5 super bars depending on the character being used. I'll describe
each move next update.

Note: Each attack you make has it's own name. For a complete listing you can go
to SRK, Dustloop, or Eventhubs for all that. I may include those in a future
update but it's kinda monotonous since it involves filling in the blanks to a
move executed just by pushing a button.

host to a Parasite named Samson, an unruly mop of demonic hair with incredible
power.

With no memories or anyone to turn to for help, if she ever hopes to piece

Story: The biggest sensation in the Cirque des Cartes, Cerebella is a tumbling,
soaring dynamo of star power: throughout the Canopy Kingdom, she�s admired for
her enormous strength and alluring curves. Sadly, this acrobatic orphan only
desires the attention of one man, mobster Vitale Medici, who took her in and 
became the closest thing to a father she�s ever known.

While inherently good, Cerebella serves the mafia as a leg-breaker when not 
performing in the circus. Cerebella is the only person capable of controlling
her powerful Living Weapon hat, Vice-Versa, so Vitale is stingy with his 
affections to keep her fighting in his corner.

Story: Once a war orphan slave named Patricia, Peacock�s body was gruesomely
mutilated by slave traders that captured her. She was rescued by Dr. Avian�s
Anti-Skullgirls Labs, and rebuilt with a reality-defying arsenal of biomecha-
nical weaponry: the Argus System augmented her body, and the Avery Unit gave
her access to unprecedented weaponry.

Alas, they couldn�t do anything for her mind: Peacock�s damaged psyche and
abiding love of cartoons shaped her new �toys� into a terrifying gang of 
cronies, who she has no qualms using to paint the town red� with blood. 
Terrifying as she is, she may be the kingdom�s best bet against the Skullgirl.

Parasoul is now the crown princess of the Canopy Kingdom and leader of its elite
