  1. Random Cold Steel thought #37: when Millium introduces herself to the class, she bows... And the huge scary robot that always follows her around bows in unison with her. That's got to be one of the cutest things I've ever seen.

  2. Random Cold Steel thought #36: Scarlet's introduction makes me cry tears of pain and frustration every time. Why must the hottest ladies in this game be evil, lesbians, or both?

  3. Random Cold Steel thought #35: the optional bonding event with Sara, at the abandoned bracer guild, is so sweet. I am particularly glad I got to see it, because I missed it during my first playthrough.

  4. Turns out Beowulf has a rather bad match-up with Double. Considering that I hate the guy, this makes resident eldritch abomination my fav character in the cast.

    1. Nova

      Beowulf is really annoying. Yay for Double~

  5. Random Cold Steel thought #34: maybe I am too sensitive on this kind of matters, but the stunt Alfin pulled to get Rean to dance with her at the Summer Festival (basically forcing him to choose between hurting the feelings of the people closest to him, or pissing off the imperial family) completely killed her likeability for me. It's too easy to be a prankster, when you are an imperial princess who can use her status to get away with everything...

  6. Random Cold Steel thought #33: you know you did an awful job at handling a family situation when FIE, of all people, lectures you about it. Highlight of the whole ordeal remains Crow calling Patrick "Patastrophe" tho.

    1. Commander

      I still need to do that quest when I replay it. You gotta love the Crow moments though.

      The "quest" I am talking about is a mandatory one (you know, when Elise nearly gets killed by the giant mecha thing. So I doubt you would have missed it on first playthrough :P

  7. Random Cold Steel thought #32: I wish Neithart would get more screentime. I like characters of the "comically serious" kind, his "manly swimming" lessons to the male party members were absolutely hilarious...

  8. Random Cold Steel thought #31: talking cats and yaoi fangirls, also starring Emma!

  9. Random Cold Steel thought #30: leaving aside the usual jokes about Jusis competing with Machias, as well as the blatant fanservice-y shots of the girls, one thing I noticed from the school swimsuits scene is that Gaius is RIPPED. Like, not even joking, dude has a hell of a physique, on top of the best personality of the cast. Makes you wonder why are all the girls going after Rean.

      Takosher

      The point still stands

    2. Commander

      Yeah, but they did quite a number of the romances pretty well (Laura, Emma, and Towa make sense). Poor Elliot though. They even make fun of how scrawny he is.

    3. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      Well Alisa is at least nice enough to tell him "you look good the way you are" :P

  10. Random Cold Steel thought #29: "We are from Thor's Military Academy, Class VII, and you are under arrest!". Uh... Rean? Students don't have the authority to arrest anyone, you know...

    1. Chevaleresse

      Chevaleresse

      Maybe because it's a military academy? Iunno.

    2. Eternal Edge

      Eternal Edge

      Citizens arrest is always a thing at least >>

    3. Tomas Elliot

      Considering that there are two of the best-looking heroines in the party, he was probably just trying to look cool :P

  11. Random Cold Steel thought #28: is Millium adorable or annoying? It's very hard to tell the difference with her...

  12. Random Cold Steel thought #27: if you have been separated from your family for five years, and you haven't seen your only granddaughter since, it is only natural, upon being reunited with her, to compliment her for "growing a beautiful pair", right?

    1. starkidcosmo

      starkidcosmo

      I... think the connotations of "growing a pair" might be a little bit different than what you're trying to imply

    2. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      LOL. Well the whole scene was built around how the guy would compliment his granddaughter on growing up healthy and strong... And then would slowly slip into dirty old man territory, which would be a recurring joke with him. I never realized that "growing a pair" in English is used to refer to something else...

  13. http://skullgirls.wikia.com/wiki/Valley_Girl_Painwheel_Quotes Imagine my face when I, not knowing about this, heard those lines for the first time, in the middle of a random battle...
  14. Dear Filia, please stop using your "They look nice!" intro quote when your opponent is PAINWHEEL. Thank you.

    1. Takosher

      Takosher

      >implying Painwheel doesn't look nice

      owo

    2. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      What I am implying is that saying such a thing is cruel to Painwheel, considering her backstory and how much she hates her current condition...

  15. I see Cyaloom do a playthrough of "Pokemon Xenoverse", I see there is a DB game called "Dragonball Xenoverse", and I can't help but wonder: what the hell does "Xenoverse" mean?

      A new fantastic point of view

      No ome to tell us no or where to go

      Or to tell us we're only playing a video game.

      I always thought it was largely gibberish and was just there to sound cool :P

  16. You can't see Zumi. Yay two memes for the price of one!

  17. Random Cold Steel thought #26: why is there a giant fish SWIMMING THROUGH THE AIR, in the middle of a grassland with no rivers in sight?

  18. Random Cold Steel thought #25: GAIUS' LITTLE SIBLINGS ARE SO CUTE OMG

  19. Random Cold Steel thought #24: the whole "riding a horse about the immense plains of North" thing really was a great occasion, for the programmers of this game, to show off their work...

  20. Random Cold Steel thought #23: when it is revealed that Alisa's mom is in the board of directors of the school, is it ok to play it for laugh? I mean, the poor girl run away from home, hoping to escape her family... And then ended up in the very school her mom runs. Imagine what must be going through her mind.

    1. Felix~

      Felix~

      Shite, bugger, bollocks, fuck, dammit, bloody hell, any number of expletives really.

  21. Random Cold Steel thought #22: Gaius putting Patrick in his place makes him my fav character in the game.

  22. Random Cold Steel thought #21: Rean catching himself staring at Emma's assets, and getting ultra flustered about it, is always so hilarious.

    1. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      Reminds you that, all-loving hero as he may be, he's still a boy in THAT age. I enjoy it when characters are humanized like this.

  23. Final tally of my third day of Skullgirls: I got Filia, Cerebella, Big Band and Eliza figured out. Still working on that Squigly, I do feel like I'm making progresses, but I still cannot master the "using stance cancels to extend combos" thing...

  24. Random Cold Steel thought #20: playing through NG+ with unlimited bonding points is making me realize just how many events I had missed in my first playthrough... Which in turn is making really hard for me to decide who I should romance. They are all so sweet, and have such elaborate personalities...

    1. YinYang9705

      YinYang9705

      Go for the one with the best...assets

    2. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      Already did in first playthrough (Emma), now I dunno who else I should go with... And Azure, can you even dance with males at the final event of the festival?

    3. YinYang9705

      YinYang9705

      Well what better time to find out than now

  25. There is a NPC in Skullgirls named "Lorenzo Medici". Here is what the Wikia has to say about him (copy-pasting): "Lorenzo is named after Lorenzo de' Medici (Lorenzo of the city of Medici), an Italian banker who was the de facto ruler of the Republic of Florence during the Renaissance period. He was also one of the most powerful and violent crime bosses at the time."

      I wish more people played Skullgrills tbh.

    2. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      I lived in Florence for a LONG time, so I know more than a little something about it. While it is true that the Medici had become rich thanks to involvement in the bank business, and while it is true that they committed many atrocities on their way to prominence (the most infamous being the massacre of the rival famili, the Pazzi), Lorenzo himself was not a banker nor a crime boss.

    3. Tomas Elliot

      Tomas Elliot

      He was the honest to God feudal lord of the city, and one of the most prominent political figures in the entire country at the time. Not to mention, a skilled war tactician and a refined lover of arts: in fact, he is credited as being one of the minds behind the Renaissance as a whole.
