The roster in SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy continues to expand. Leading up to the game's release earlier this month, SNK unveiled Square Enix's Thief Arthur would be added as a DLC fighter.
In the latest trailer announcement, "Skullo Mania" - crossing over from Arika's Fighting EX Layer - has now been revealed as the new DLC fighter, due out on 11th October. SNK is also teasing more guest characters will be joining the line-up at a later date.
Here's a description courtesy of Gematsu:
Skullo Mania is your local hero to save us all! In his normal life he recently found employment as a productive salaryman with his pet dog, pochiro. However, he has been troubled recently by the fact that he has been missing pockets of his memory where he turns into the masked fighter, Skullo Mania. With these mixed feeling he has also discovered new powers within himself. What is to become of our masked hero?!
In similar fashion to Terry Bogart, Skullomania appears to have received a makeover in SNK's latest fighting game. The character first appeared in the 1996 title, Street Fighter EX.
Are you excited to play as this character? Did you pick up this title on release? Tell us in the comments below.

For a skeleton she has a lot of meat on her ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Nope.jpg
I was really hoping he would come back in some sort of fashion in the Street Fighter universe, along with Doctrine Dark.......but this will do!
Terry and now Skullomania...
Bowser next?
... I mean, Bowsette?
This is actually pretty hype! I'm happy to see Arika characters appearing in other games. Skullo-Mania for Smash!
So we had genderbent Terry, genderbent "what if he was a thief?" King Arthur and now we have genderbent masked fighter skeleton guy?
I'm not hating on the game, but at this point I think they could do some promotional Nintendo crossover and get us genderbent Mario, genderbent Link, or... genderbent Samus? No, wait...
Hey, this is pretty neat.
Next will be :
1. Makoto (Street Fighter III)
2. Chun Li
3. Morrigan
4. Female version of Rugal
5. Female version of Yamazaki
6. Add more by yourself.....
Call me when Bowsette is announced…
I’ve always loved this character design. Glad to see him/her in a game again. Always thought he should carry a steel chair to the fight while playing it like a guitar, just like the coolest skeleton man ever, La Parka.
Done.
Not every single character out there has to be given giant tits.
And yeah, I know most of you will have a reason to complain at me.
I own this game. I like this news.
Although DB FighterZ is about to take over my fighting time.
Cool character, but I don’t really main him on Fighting EX Layer.
@Anti-Matter Bowsette?
Can we get a performance patch for Switch?
@Bobb Actually Arthur isn't their name. The character is from a card game where all candidates for king have Arthur appended to their job title. So in this case it's a thief that is a candidate for king (there's also a diva, sword user, engineer, sorceress, etc). Not actually King Arthur (though the text for Sword Protector seems to suggest they're the Arthur from mythology).
Meh could had give us Fighting EX Layer instead.
Nah. This game is getting traded for DBFZ tomorrow morning.
Plot twist, the true villian of this game is Demitri. Midnight Bliss for everyone.
Finally, a truly boner-inducing character in this!
@Hikaru So you decided to be THAT person, I see.
But don't worry; I'm sure your comment will get you the attention of a nice, small-breasted fox babe and it'll all be worth it.
@Hikaru They aren't even that big rofl. If you think this is big, boy do I have news for you.
@Undead_terror my vote goes to Papyrus!
I didn't know Arika made fighting games. I hoped they secretly work on Endless Ocean 3 for Switch.
Pretty big news, with Street Fighters new season starting soon with "legacy" characters, could Skullomaina be coming?
Why the hell do massive coloured skulls pop out every time she does anything? It completely obscures the character and makes it hard to see what is going on!
Terry Bogart? Really?
I'm extremely excited for Skullomania to return to a modern fighting game. I know he's in Fighting Ex Layer but I've yet to play that. I haven't seen him since the Street Fighter Ex days back on PS1. So I'll definitely be buying this DLC. It's nice to see that the boobs on him/her are small enough to not be too distracting from the original character.
This game has been lots of fun with my friends and family, 2v2 4 player battles are awesome fun.
@Undead_terror
how do you feel seeing one of yer family members in a game?
So let me get this right:
Metal Slug, a popular SNK series, which has 3 female characters (Fio, Eri, and Nadia) they could use, but they use a Street Fighter character, a Capcom character, in a SNK game...
WHAT THE HECK!?
did someone mention me.
