Marie and Umbrella next DLC?

[VenusInFurs]

So i just noticed this video of squigly voice lines that
And at about 2:57 she start saying all of the switching into other characters voices, it looks like they already recorded ones for big band, beowulf, eliza and robo-fortune, but there also ones for marie and umbrella, does that mean they are doing them next?
I bet they probably are but they just wouldn't announce them so people won't get their hopes up incase they can't do them

I doubt Marie will ever be playable she the Shao Khan of this game.

It's no secret that after Robo Fortune Lab Zero would like to add Black Dahlia, Marie and Umbrella and create the canon story. Whether they'll be able to do so will depend on their financial and legal situation when the time comes.

They would have a hell of a time balancing her. They would have to make her a new move set and everything. Ontop of explaining why she isnt floating throwing skulls and skeletons at people.

Which was exactly the plan. Concepts of her new moveset were already made public. She would be made from scratch basically.

They will most likely develope a new movelist for her. This is a lot of work, but it isn't anymore work than required for making a new character from scratch.

It's unlikely we will get anything else after Robo-Fortune.

Said concepts:

The current Skullgirl who rose from the ashes of the Grand War. Her country of Rommelgrad fell into anarchy, becoming part of the growing No Man's Land. As she focuses her wrath on those who prey on its victims, the full extent of her power remains unknown...
Playstyle Speculation
With the power of the Skull Heart in her, Marie can summon undead minions, use her maid skills to cleanse the world of her enemies, and even vacuum up the corpses of the fallen to increase her own power.

Gameplay Inspiration
Rachel Alucard (BlazBlue), Hisui and Kohaku / Mecha Hisui (Melty Blood), Sonson (Marvel vs Capcom 2), Mega Maid (Spaceballs), Tohou series, Immaterial and Missing Power, Castlevania, Blackheart (Marvel Super Heroes), Mara (Dark Awake: The King Has No Name)

and may be different in the final version ==

Actually, this[25.media.tumblr.com] is what I had in mind.

They might add them in down the road after they've made profits from the sales on PC but characters be expensive, yo.

[Sunshine & Rainbows]

Having to pay extra to play as Marie would really tacky. Remember when we actually unlocked stuff by what we accomplished in the games?!

As already stated, Marie would be a new character, not the boss character we currently have.

These voice-overs probably exist because when you have the actress in studio it's easier to record tagging VOs for potential characters right then instead of trying to have her do them later in a second session.

The developers have made it clear that they wanted to do some of these characters, but there is only so much time and money. They picked Squiggly and BigBand while leaving the next two up to a vote. Eliza and Beowolf are interesting and I'm glad to have them, even if they aren't the most pivotal characters to the current story. Playing the story mode really makes me excited to play as some of these characters at some point.

We'll just have to wait and see what happens when all the indiegogo DLC characters are done. Lab Zero may do more characters if there is demand for it. They might just do Skullgirls 2 if that makes more sense for them financially. Then again, they may even want to take a break from SG and do a different game. When you work crazy hours on a project, sometimes you need a short break doing something else to help recharge the passion for it.

i don't see any point to release a skullgirls 2 unless it's going to be an entirely different game, they can add just about anything as dlc for the current game (like they are doing already)

Marie and Umbrella were originally planned to be DLC characters, and as such all vanilla characters ALSO have tag-in lines for them. These plans didn't pan out and eventually Marie/Umbrella became Squigly/Big Band.

Because all the OTHER characters have tag-in lines for Marie and Umbrella, however, all the DLC characters will have them as well in case Marie or Umbrella end up being made. It'd be a lot more efficient than calling a VA back into the studio to record one line!
