Marie 300%

[TacoCat]

I beat story mode and arcade mode with all characters and unlocked all the artwork except for 4 pieces. How do I unlock the last pieces of artwork I'm missing?

I heard that if you beat marie 300% (which is under extras in menu) you will automatically unlock all the artwork. Is this true? Is there another way to unlock the missing artwork? If so, what is it? If beating Marie #00% is the only way how am I supposed to beat her?

If I remember correctly, Mike Z said on the forum that there is currently a bug where 4 pieces of environment art cannot be unlocked from the associated story mode, and that they were patching it soon.

Yes, beating Marie 300% will unlock all artwork. I've done it before.
The way I beat her was this: for the first phase, get her in the corner and use j.MK x 1 > j.HK > jump > repeat. For her second phase, get her health lower than yours, and keep jumping/double jumping behind her, crossing her up so she cannot hit you, until you time out. Since you have higher health, you'll be awarded the win.

No worries, anytime.

Which character you use to do that?

[Muro]

Marie 300% can only be fought with Squigly.

And why is that you can't use any other character? Is for the story? Is that really part of Squigly's story mode?

[Muro]

It's basically an in-joke and a nod to some Skullgirls development history.

Back in July-August 2013 when the PC version was still beta-only + available only for backers, story modes were enabled in said beta. Squigly's story wasn't finished though + even when it was, the developers wanted to make it available for backers and non-backers alike on PC's official release day.

So, they could have just left the slot for Squigly in story mode empty, but instead they decided to make a joke story consisting of some non-serious dialogue, a fight vs a significantly buffed Marie and a reward for beating her in the form of some Squigly story teasers.

This story mode was later replaced with the normal one, but since some fans enjoyed the challenge of the "Squigly vs Marie 300%" fight, it was kept in extras for everyone who wants to give it a go.

I see, thanks for the story lesson :3/
