Starring Fukua, she battles every playable character (regardless of whether or not the consumer has purchased the DLC) in the games roster, excluding herself, in reverse order from when they were implemented into the game beginning her quest against Robo-Fortune up until achieving her goal of besting Filia, the final boss. These were most likely added later to make Fukua look less similar to Filia and stand out a bit more.Īfter a scene showing Filia asleep (in similar vein to Fukua's reveal trailer) the setting transcends to the contents of her nightmare. Some alternate versions of it also have the same red eyes as Filia. She looks the same as now except she has the same light skin as Filia as well as no makeup. In really early art of the character an earlier version of Fukua can be seen. Originally her character select icon had a slightly tanned nose, but this has since been changed to be light like during gameplay. The same can be said for the shading on her nose, which while shown to be her normal skin color in her action shot, appears a light color during gameplay. In gameplay, her eyes appear dark greenish-brown when highlighted in the character select screen and during the fight. Her action shot has green eyes in the character select screen, and black eyes during her reveal trailer. įukua's eye color is inconstant in her portrayals. Direct inspirations for Fukua’s coloration include Glitch Sonic from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and a glitch from the first Mortal Kombat game where all characters would turn green on the character select screen temporarily. Her color scheme is based on a glitch found in several games wherein characters turned green abnormally the glitch tending to occur more often on older game systems. She also wears light blue-ish green lipstick and hot pink eye shadow. Her shirt and shoes are black, and her hair is dark green with her necktie, skirt and thighhighs being the same color except slightly less saturated in intensity. As such, she also has her own version of Samson named Shamone. Her appearance is nearly identical to that of Filia's since she is a direct clone of her, but is of a completely different color palette as to differentiate between them. This works in tangent with Fukua's name, as both are grammatical aberrations. It is also a reference to another Skullgirls April Fools prank/hoax where if you moved the character select cursor to the rhythm of the same song, you would unlock a “new character” which turned out to obviously be fake. Shamone comes from the 1987 Michael Jackson song Bad, being a deliberate mispronunciation of the phrase "come on". While also based on the futakuchi-onna like Filia, Fukua's true origins are as a parody of the numerous "clone" (re-colored) characters that exist in fighting games.įukua is an erratum of Filia one's right hand being one key too far to the left while spelling Filia's name will result in spelling "Fukua" instead. It's worth noting that this biography only exists to reference her origin as "zoner Filia" and "grappler Filia" mixed together. Together as one, Fukua possesses the best of both specialties… but relationships formed under intense circumstances often don’t last. One, a once-proud warrior known for her brute strength in close combat the other a silent assassin who specialized in ranged weapons for her kills. Fukua is the result of a fortunate – or unfortunate – Lab Zero accident: a union of two souls. One of Brain Drain’s less-socially-acceptable hobbies is cloning, and often he forces the souls of dead warriors to inhabit these clones. It is possible that she has some masochistic inclinations as Fukua is (thus far) the only character who smiles when finished with a Blockbuster. Her personality is not clearly defined as her lines are recycled from Filia's and she does not speak for most of her Story Mode, other than to express her desire to "become" Filia (note that her story mode is a joke story mode and shouldn't be taken as canon in any way). The two warriors that inhabit Fukua's body are a reference to these alternate versions of Filia. Her fighting style re-uses bits of script from "Zoner Filia" and "Grappler Filia", who were alternate green and red-skinned versions of Filia Mike Zaimont had made for the first public EVO demo of Skullgirls before a second character had been completed. She became a permanent fixture of the Skullgirls Encore roster on May 13th after polishing and balance tweaks due to large fan demand. She was created as a test for Robo-Fortune and initially implemented as a joke character on April Fool's Day, 2014.
