Total Game Size

[Zohess]

So here I am, thinking early in the morning thinking that i sould bought the game for, like, last year. Seeing that the game having new characters, meaning the games growing bit by bit, i might still wanna try the game even though that its been a whole year since it has been released. So here's my question, whats the total disk space might the game take if i were to dowload it, this includes everything, DLCs, palettes and the recent updates. Im running out of disk space, I still have to buy a new external HDD. :3

The steam store page says 2GB, though Steam says it's using about 2.9GB in my hard drive right now, from all the updates in the past several months.

Not sure if you can install steam games in an external drive

^ Quite aware that u can throw ur Steam client in any drive without ruining its performance. I have TWO SEPERATE CLIENTS (one for Dota2 and one for Team Fortress) in the same computer because due to downloading issues here (Note: Slow Average Net Speed and Hard Drive Space to transfer a new steam game from a different pc to the one im using (my biggest usb Disk size is 16 gb) , although what i want to know is how big the game is in your steam folder (C:> My Computer > Steam > SteamApps > Common > Skullgirls)

I Theorize that the game's full size should be somewhere between 3-4 gigabytes since the character updates take about 600-800mb assuming if u were to look directly on the skullgirls folder directed above. :3

Sorry for necroposting but things changed a bit meanwhile and not toward space saving.
The Beta mode is actually embedded into the main download and doesn't use the normal beta channel that steam offers. I don't know why but for sure it should be a techincal reason.
The thing is that the folder size is now 12GB. 6GB for each mode (normal and beta)!

No request in particular, but I'd like to know the reason of this waste of space on my disk.
cheers

The game has gotten a lot bigger since 2014 with more characters, more stages, more music, full voice acting for all of story mode, a JP dub. Also should be noted that if you own the Season Pass, the uncompressed Digital Art Compendium takes up quite a bit of space, but you can selectively uninstall that from Steam's DLCs tab if you need to.

As for beta being a separate copy, that's likely just a lot simpler for the devs. There are new assets for new characters in development, and the way the data is packed may not make it trivial to do it another way. Beta's not meant to be a long-term thing, it'll be gone once it's done, so it's probably just not worth the engineering effort to come up with a way to compress it.

Thanks for the reply, it makes sense.

This thread is almost a month old but whatever.
If your laptop has a CDVD drive, you can replace it by an HDD-CADDIE adapter and install an SSD in its place. And keep the CDVD in storage if you need it later.

Or upgrade your main hard drive for a bigger one.

Any hard drive on hot connections like USB or whatever is pron to failure.
