Story
Skullgirls is set in the fictional Canopy Kingdom, a country reminiscent of post-war America in the 1940s. In a corrupt and war-torn world, various people and organizations try to obtain an artifact called the Skull Heart. Once every seven years, the Skull Heart grants a woman's wish. However, if a woman with an impure soul tries to use the heart, her wish is corrupted and she turns into a monster known as Skullgirl. Hundreds have tried for the Skull Heart, but none of the wearers have been found worthy and spared from the curse. Seven years after the Great War, a battle between three nations, the newest Skullgirl, Marie, has emerged and begun terrorizing the Canopy Kingdom. The game follows several fighters and their journeys to confront Marie and conquer the Skull Heart. Each character has his own motivations for finding the heart, whether to destroy the artifact or to use its power for his own interests.
