If y'all are censoring "important" things, how about you actually do something about Filia? She is 16 years old, she doesn't need a little fix in her skirt while falling when big part of her kicks like: LK Knee high j LK Thigh high j MK Bounce and volume j HK Split ends And Blockbuster Fenrir drive Show below her skirt like it's nothing. What you all are doing is putting a band-aid on a problem that you yourselves have called out while alienating the fans by saying they are creeps by not agreeing about what's going on with the game's history of incredibly dumb censorship. Free my man's big band incredible story, leaving the rawness and the depiction of racial violence out of it just feels inconclusive with why is he now an ensemble of steel that cannot breathe for itself and is now fighting the Medici mafia. And still, bring back the Black Egrets armbands?, armbands aren't n*zi, it also has nothing to do with their background, neither Parasoul's; They ARE protectors through and through. With the state of censorship that this company has already showed, Lorenzo Medici might be called Lawrence Medicine in a few months because Italian mafia stereotype You are aiming to please an audience that doesn't even own the game nor knows about the rules of the world skullgirls is in. *Also censoring reviews that came because the loss of backed up goods from the kickstarter campaign is just nasty, it is not off-topic neither come with malicious intent, people lost content that they paid for and have the right to speak their mind at the main store where this sells to make others aware of it. THE ONLY REASON THIS IS IN RECOMMENDED IS BECAUSE NEGATIVE REVIEWS ARE NOT BEING COUNTED WHILE ALSO BEING SILENCED BEHIND A PREFERENCE OPTION THAT IS TURNED ON BY DEFAULT

As a longtime fan of 2D fighting games and a huge advocate for the Marvel vs. Capcom series, I found Skullgirls to be one of my favorite fighters of all time! The game play is fast-paced and snappy, with a unique stylized aesthetic and stellar character designs. I'm a fan of how you can really customize the game you play--there's a character play-style for everyone! I'm so glad it's getting some new content, it's been a long time coming. This game is a timeless classic that I'm still playing around eleven years after its initial release. Long live Skullgirls!

I do not care about all of the buttshots or whatever else, all I want is Big Band's actual story back.
