Does Skullgirls support a local co-op?

[kam1]

Hello folks,

I’m looking for a fighting game that support local co-op and gamepads. Does Skullgirls support this? I wanna play with friends on my “Steam Box”.

TIA

Well yes,and I'm pretty sure all fighting games do really.
EDIT: Second thought, what do you mean by co-op? If you mean both on the same team, no.

It doesn't support local coop. But it does support local CO-OP.

Uh, well given how i just use a keyboard for this i cant for sure about the controller part, but it does have local versus play, where its player 1 vs player 2.
Both players can pick a team size between 1 and 3 and switch between characters during a 1 vs 1 match or send in AI-controlled team members to do an assist attack and then leave again, if they have a team of 2 or 3 characters. Or both, just not at the same time (the red/green light indicates whenever you can switch characters/call an assist).

Yeah, you can play against your friend locally, but if you are looking for "co-op" where multiple people play on the same team, there IS kind of a mode called "Typing of the Skullgirls". Basically, one person plays the game normally while the other person man the keyboard. Every time the person playing perform a super, a phase appears on the screen that the other person has to type. If the typist type the phase correctly, then that super will do more damage. It's kind of a gimmick mode but it does technically count as co-op/
