Challenges

In challenges, players square off against opponents with a variety of unique battle conditions to test their mettle. Can you beat Big Band without jumping? Or defeat triple Doubles?

Trials

Trials test players’ skills by having them to perform combos. Trials are built on a new button-by-button instructional system to make learning combos easier and more intuitive than ever.

Furthermore, unlike many fighting game trials, Skullgirls 2nd Encore’s trials include combos frequently used in real play, from basic bread ‘n butter to more advanced combos.

Survival Mode

Skullgirls 2nd Encore’s new Survival Mode pits players against an endless procession of foes – how long can you last?

The better you do, the more health you’ll recover between rounds. The longer you last, the harder your foes will become.

Full Platinum Trophy Set

For all the trophy hunters out there, Skullgirls 2nd Encore will have a full Platinum trophy set.

The 43 trophies will test players’ mastery of Skullgirls and the new content. Many of the previous trophies are returning, while others have been adjusted based on player feedback.

Cross-Play Across the Entire PlayStation Family

To keep the online community from fragmenting, Skullgirls 2nd Encore supports cross-play across all three PlayStation platforms: PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita!

PlayStation 4 Version: PS3 Peripheral Support

Skullgirls 2nd Encore will support PlayStation 3 fight sticks on the PlayStation 4, thanks to the excellent work of our friend John “Cowboy” Bellomy. Just plug in your old stick and play!
