Skullgirls Mobile 2.0, self-published by Autumn Games, currently available for iOS and Android

It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything about Skullgirls Mobile, the accessory to the popular Autumn Games-produced fighting game, which had its own unique playstyle and held exclusive story details. It’s likely the silence had to do with Autumn Games’ dissolved partnership with LINE Corporation, the wildly popular and lucrative Japanese messaging company who was in charge of publishing Skullgirls Mobile.

Despite the publisher woes, Skullgirls Mobile version 2.0 was scheduled and has recently released as planned, but it came a day early and with a little surprise detail: That it was self-published by Autumn Games, and would not be connected to LINE Corporation moving forward.

Though it’s good news that the game is back on track, the new direction could be a bummer for those who were hoping to hang on to their save data from the old version. There was apparently a short window where those who logged in within it could retrieve their save data from the original LINE version, but to those unaware of this detail, they will most likely have to start the game over.

This seems to be a new beginning for Autumn and their mobile game, and for all we know, the new and improved Skullgirls Mobile could be worth an encore completion. You can be the judge yourself as Skullgirls Mobile 2.0 is currently available for free on iOS and Android.

Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition roundup — Ryu breakdown, Nash V-Trigger II, Akuma meaties and more

So you’ve had the weekend to grind out in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. While the early days were dominated by combo videos and content breakdowns (of course!), we are now starting to see more meaties and pressure guides trickle in. Let’s see what direction SFV:AE content is heading with today’s video roundup!

There’s something of a meme going around about the perceived strength of Abigail’s new VT2. If you are one of those players ready to pick up the giant Canadian for gimmick power alone, then rooflemonger‘s series of Abigail tutorials for AE should help you!

True to the character’s design, Y. Xiao shows off the high damage versatility of Menat’s new V-Trigger.

He’s also submitted some combos and setups for Urien’s new V-Trigger.

You may remember JusticeSoulTuna‘s Juri breakdown from an earlier roundup. Here he explores more thoroughly the best ways to squeeze damage out of VT-1.

World Warrior FGC shows off new damage opportunties and meaty setups for Akuma’s new cancel-heavy V-Trigger 2.

AutoMattock is absolutely floored by the new set-play possibilities of season 3 Kolin.

desk tackled Nash for purely flashy-combo-video related reasons, and who can blame him?

And last but not least, VesperArcade goes over the much-anticipated Ryu changes in S3, and shows off some starter combos for Sakura.

If you see anything worth sharing, let us know by submitting a tip for our next roundup!
