Skullgirls - Hilgard Showcase

Marie's new companion Hilgard transforms how she approaches offense in Skullgirls. This showcase explores what becomes possible once Hilgard is summoned—with Marie gaining the freedom to move and attack independently while her ally operates on the field. The video demonstrates how to weave Hilgard's massive attacks into combo sequences for devastating damage, or simply use him to apply relentless pressure without committing Marie herself. The contrast between summoning him for raw damage output versus layering his presence into extended combos reveals the flexibility baked into this mechanic. Since Marie was still in pre-release development at the time of recording, the exact balance and interaction timings shown here serve as an early look at how the character's summoning system was designed to function. Players interested in understanding Marie's core gameplan and resource management will find practical examples of both offensive setups and neutral-game applications of Hilgard's kit.
