Check out Marie’s debut as a playable character in Skullgirls with new clips

The Skullgirl is finally on the way! Marie was announced as the final character on the Season 1 DLC pass for Skullgirls back at Evo 2022, and with Black Dahlia finally out of production we get to see how the canonical wielder of the Skull Heart is shaping up.

We've just crossed over 200,000 followers on our TikTok! Thank you!

To celebrate, we're going to start posting daily Marie gameplay footage VERY SOON!

The Skullgirls social media team is posting daily gameplay videos showing off snippets of work-in-progress combos and special moves on TikTok, Twitter and YouTube. You should really follow them directly to keep up, but here’s some of the clips we’ve been shown so far:

It's Marie's gameplay debut and we're laying out the welcome mats with some VERY early, work-in-progress footage!

Marie has amassed quite the collection of mats and she'll whap you with different types throughout the match.

In contrast to her previous iteration as the game’s final boss NPC character, the new Marie is focused on two things: her arsenal of housekeeping supplies and a seemingly expendable cast of skeleton buddies.

No Skullgirl is complete without her skeletons, and Marie has brought plenty of friends along with her!

Is it just me or do these skele-buddies seem to have a bit more personality than her boss mode minions…?#Skullgirls #SkullgirlsMarie pic.twitter.com/zzWr0urndd

The first full combo clip we see shows off her new aerial attacks and the use of an assist call type move that brings out a floating skeleton for a beam that leads to a trail of explosions on the ground. More importantly, spirit bomb:

Enough with the single move showcases! It's Friday! Time to go all out with a full combo!

There's still a LOT of work to be done before her playable Alpha later this year, but Marie is already shaping up to be a powerhouse!#Skullgirls #SkullgirlsMarie pic.twitter.com/bOZcRD3vvd

Here’s a better look at that spirit bomb super, plus a GIANT FIST that seems to also cost meter based on its visual effects:

A character like Marie needs some truly Boss Level attacks!

Also please note that whenever anyone uses the energy ball in tournaments you are legally required to raise your hands and lend Marie your energy.#Skullgirls #SkullgirlsMarie pic.twitter.com/IKKs10csSU
