In Skullgirls Mobile, Eliza also references DIO's infamous quote from Part 1, 'How many breads have you eaten in your life?' In the reveal trailer for the April Fools character Fukua, Brain Drain asks a dog to leave and says it should come back once it learns how to 'manipulate sand or something,' which is a reference to Iggy and The Fool. During her taunt, Sekhmet exclaims 'I have no weaknesses!' ( わたしに弱点はない！, Watashi ni jakuten wanai!), which is a reference to Yoshikage Kira. While in her Sekhmet form, Eliza is capable of performing a flurry of attacks similar to The World.

Her additional 'Stand Out' color palette, only available in the DLC color palette pack, is a reference to DIO from Heritage for the Future, with her Sekhmet form and servants also referencing The World. The next DLC character Eliza was added to Skullgirls Encore on September 30, 2014. In Japanese, Big Band is voiced by Tomokazu Sugita, who also voices Joseph Joestar in the anime.ĮnlargeEliza's 'Stand Out' color palette referencing DIO. This is further referenced in Skullgirls Mobile, with the same attack being named 'Going Platinum' and the quote being 'ORAORAORA!' while using the same color palette. The only difference is that instead of shouting 'ORA ORA ORA!,' he shouts 'TUBA TUBA TUBA!' By winning 26 matches with this attack, you can unlock a hidden 'Heavy Metal' palette referencing Jotaro Kujo and Star Platinum's colors from Heritage for the Future. One of Big Band's signature attacks, 'Satchmo Death Blow,' unleashes a devastating flurry of Brass Knuckles similar to Star Platinum⁠. It includes several new DLC characters, including Big Band, who was added on April 22, 2014. The expansion was developed by Lab Zero Games, which was formed by several members of the original development team from Reverge Labs. Skullgirls Encore is an updated version of Skullgirls, which was released on February 11, 2014, for PlayStation Network and on April 4, 2014, for Xbox Live Arcade. The shaders that Skullgirls uses for its portraits in-game are also internally labeled as JojosDeathPortrait in the game's files.

This is a reference to Heritage for the Future's portrait effect for when a character is retired by a special move. portraits in Skullgirls were inspired by Heritage for the Futureįinishing the match with any Blockbuster attack in Skullgirls will cause the background to change and display a portrait of the defeated character with a pained expression on their face.

A man who bears resemblance to Jotaro can also be spotted as an NPC in the background of the River King Casino stage. The third reference can be found with Celebella, whose 'Diamond Deflector' attack causes her and her hat Vice-Versa to reenact Jotaro Kujo and Star Platinum's win pose from Heritage for the Future. In addition, it's also possible to perform an aerial variation of this attack similar to when using The World. The only difference is that instead of throwing knives, she throws scalpels. Her 'Checkmate Incision' move functions and appears almost identical to DIO's Checkmate attack from Heritage for the Future. The second reference to JoJo can be found with the character Valentine, who also has an attack inspired by DIO. In addition, just like in Heritage for the Future, it's also possible for the Road Roller to miss it's opponent. This is a reference to DIO's iconic Road Roller attack from Heritage for the Future. When this happens, Peacock's companion, Avery, will scream 'WRYYYYYY!' before pummelling the Road Roller while shouting 'MUDA MUDA MUDA!'. During her 'Shadow of Impending Doom' move, there's a rare chance that a Road Roller will drop on the opponent. The first reference to JoJo in the game can be found in one of Peacock's attacks. Īrtwork by lead artist for Skullgirls, Alex Ahad. Before the game was released, Ahad said that his style for Skullgirls-as well as the types of moves and poses that he did for the characters-was influenced by JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, BlazBlue, and Darkstalkers. Alex Ahad, the game's creative director and lead artist, describes himself as a huge fan of anime, with his style having been influenced by the likes of FLCL and Gurren Lagann. It also contains several references to the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, mainly due to the game taking inspiration from various fighting games developed by Capcom, including Heritage for the Future. The game features an all-female cast of characters, each with their own unique fighting style and gameplay.
