What are the chances of getting a Skullgirls 2?

Dead. Killed by greed and stupidity. No lessons learned. Screencap this.

I don't think I want a SG2 now.

i'm guessing all of the people involved with it will no longer want anything to do with it, and the new directors would make a very different game

until i see an actual new game from the new people in charge of the IP (hidden variable studios + future club?), i'm not even sure they have enough inspiration and talent to make a good game

[Oku]

The game's been truckin along with only a couple hundred concurrent players average for a while now (ironically to all the people claiming the game is dead now because of a few changes to art and cutscenes, they've caused a spike in the game's playerbase because they were never playing it regularly to begin with and all the attention has gotten new people to pick it up and play it lol) and it's been this way since 2013.

Skullgirls was always a niche fighter and always will be, so as long as the game continues to maintain its current pace there won't be much of a reason to make a new one for the foreseeable future.

More than likely they'll just keep releasing additional content for this game until they decide they want to expand out in a way that requires a different foundation at which point they'll start working on a sequel, probably won't be for a while though.

Without Alex Ahad as the art director and MikeZ as the lead designer? What's the freaking point?

That's good to hear. I really hope we'll get a second season pass.

Not from these clowns currently larping as "developers"

Would not buy another game of a studio who completly censors it later on after I bought something else.

Allegedly, SG2 was the plan prior to Lab Zero falling apart, but then got scaled back into DLC. Calling this season one implies that if we do get more, it'll just be season two. But it's an open secret that their financial situation isn't the best, so I honestly don't know if we'll even get that.

I'd honestly prefer SG2, not even necessarily as that different a game (back in the day they said if SG2 happened it would be mostly the same foundation but with a lower undizzy cap and no LLMMH ground strings), but moreso for marketing purposes. It's getting harder and harder to attract new blood into an 11+ year old game. Just by calling SG2 a sequel I think it'd have a big impact to get people to come check it out again. And I have a few ideas of what I'd add and revise if I were in charge, there's definitely some stuff they could do to still make it feel like a proper sequel.

But hey, I'm happy we're getting any new content at all. A few years back I thought the 2E+ patch was likely going to be the end based on Autumn being broke and a strained relationship with Lab Zero, but then Annie happened and then a full season happened. Who knows, maybe I'll get surprised yet again.

Why would anyone ever continue to purchase something from a company which has confirmed that they will alter any given product to whatever the industry sociopolitical climate and shareholders tells them to adjust in [current year]?

Not only it is a very old game and financial situation bad. The competition is way better. You get way more sexy games like Street fighters, Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat... just to name a few, which doesn't let themselves dictate to cut away the sexy things and even have a big fanbase with mods. I am also happy that there are other policies and ideas of artist freedom in east asian countries, so a government or some lonely feminists cannot just come and say "you now have to censor your game, or we boycott you". Means some competitors are more free to their games.

I couldn't disagree more, most AAA fighting games have been fumbling pretty hard. SG had rollback in 2012 and devs with far bigger budgets are only just barely catching up to that - hell, one of the games you named still doesn't have it. I'm also just not thrilled about the way that AAAs keep trying to dumb themselves down with one button specials, autocombos, stripped down characters, etc.

That's not to say there aren't some areas a potential SG2 can't catch up in too though. Them's Fightin' Herds is the gold standard to look up to since it built on SG's foundation, and I'd love to see as much of its QoL backported to SG2 as possible. Part of the reason I want a sequel is to add everything TFH has.
