Skullgirls Didn't Raise $150,000 For A Single Character. Oh No.

Last month, the developers of Skullgirls launched a crowdsourcing campaign, asking for $150,000 to introduce a single new character into the game.

That campaign has now come to a close. The final tally?

$829,829.

Wow.

The whopping contribution from fans means that the game won't just be getting a single new character. It'll be getting five of them, four story modes, six new stages and nine voice packs.
