well Qm hasnt given Marie those abiltiies, just twelves. Could get them later donw the line. Thought would like to get her first Bianka electric skills.
Could have the same limitation that Emerl has in-game, one fight, one move, and there's a chance to get a copy of the same move multiple times instead of a new one.
Flash fighting games I'd rather not allow for a couple reasons, mainly that Flash dying has made a lot of them very difficult or impossible to play and that as far as I know Flash fighting games usually used pre-existing characters from all sorts of non-fighting game sources. Still, good thinking.
If we do get this power, we could just show Marie fighting moves of other fighters either in Skullgirls or other fighting games instead, at least she won't be in actual danger if we do videos.
As I understand it (I haven't played Sonic Battle and haven't had time yet to look up footage of someone else's playthrough), Emerl's copying ability requires him to be physically nearby when someone uses the technique he wants to copy, and whether or not that's true, that kind of ability's a bit too powerful for me to let Marie have it without some significant restrictions. But it's very clever thinking on your part, my hat's off to you.
Well good to know that she doesn't hate it, although it looks like we'll need different music to play for her, although I hope she'll like the piano cover of Roland's boss fight.
Oh yeah Small Nerd question about this. If this is allowed as long as we don't get anything else from Chun Li, could we get it this update or what condition would we need to meet to give this to Marie?
I have a music in mind for when it's time for Marie to attack the Medici, something perfect to set the mood! As long as it is not that distracting to her.

I'll let you get it now. There's been a lot of creative thinking today, I want to reward it. Hmm, how to define investigation skills...
Starting with the next story post, Marie will have Chun-Li's knowledge of how to conduct criminal investigations. This includes an understanding of how criminal organizations usually function, how to get information from both cooperative and uncooperative people, how to follow a person without being noticed, how to find and follow a money trail, how to search through records efficiently, what kinds of records are useful for answering different questions, how to gather evidence using methods such as fingerprinting and wiretapping, and how forensic science can be used to identify people.
How's that sound? I'll admit, I'm not entirely sure Chun-Li's ever actually shown doing any investigating, so this is my best guess at the skills she'd need to be able to get to the "go to the bad guys' lair and beat them up" stage of things that we usually see her in.
SKULLGIRLS' CHARACTER LIST AND CURRENT STATUS IN THE QUEST
So for those that don't know much of Skullgirls characters, I'm making here a short summary of each of the playable characters and their current status in the quest:
Fillia Medici and Samson: A girl whose father is the son of Lorenzo, the leader of the Medici Mafia, making her Lorenzo's granddaughter. Her father Marcus had cut ties with the medici a while before the game started. In her backstory, Marie had attacked her neighborhood, who had several members of the Medici Mafia living there, but spared them thanks to Samson, a Parasite creature that had possessed Fillia's dog. Vitale, the second in command of the Medici, was suspicious of why Marie spared them but killed every other Medici and thought they were in cahoots with her, so they had the whole Family killed. Samson managed to protect Fillia by fusing with her after her head got crushed, healing her, but she ended up losing her memories.
Status: ALIVE but not active, she should still be a normal schoolgirl as long as Marie doesn't attack her neighborhood she shouldn't be that involved in the plot...yet.
Cerebella: Star Performer of the Circus Cirques de Cartes. She is part of the Medici Mafia but isn't aware how bad they are of the atrocities they have committed. They saved and raised her when she was an orphan because of a war that happened a few years back before the story started. She has tinted glassed when it comes to anything medici related.
Status: ALIVE and part of the Medici Mafia. Saw Marie attack the Medici Tower and kill Lorenzo.
Peacock (Patricia): Childhood Friend of Marie, they lived together in the same orphanage before they were captured by slavers. While Marie was able to escape and eventually become the skullgirl, Peacock was tortured and mutilated by the slavers. Luckily she was rescued by the labs. A group created with the one goal of developing weapons to deal with the Skullgirl. She was saved and rebuilt as a Anti-Skullgirls-Weapon.
Status: ALIVE, has found out Marie is in New Meridian and the Skullgirl. Still receiving her modifications.
Parasoul: Crown Princess of the Canopy Kingdom, her Mother was the previous Skullgirl, one who required 3 whole armies to take down, and knows firsthand how terrifying Skullgirls can be. She commands a military squadron called the Black Egrets and is fully committed to slay the next Skullgirl.
Status: ALIVE and once she finds out that Marie is a Skullgirl and is in New Meridian she is going to come straight towards her with a whole army trailing behind.
Ms Fortune: She is a member of the Fishbone Gang, a group of Thieves. In canon, After Marie failed her first attack against the Medici's Ms. Fortune and her Gang decided to steal from them, managing to steal Lorenzo's Life Gem, which grants immortality to the user. None of them know about the Gem's abilities. Desperate to get it back, Lorenzo sicked his enforcer and top assassin Black Dahlia on them. As expected, Black Dahlia slaughtered all of them, but not before Ms. Fortune swallowed the Gem. This caused that once Black Dahlia killed her, the Gem became part of her body, giving her essentially immortality, regenerating her body and curing all wounds.
Status: ALIVE and still part of the Fishbone Gang, they might still try to steal that Gem and we ought to beat to the punch so Marie can get that Gem for herself.
Painwheel: Originally Carol, she was a friend of Fillia before the latter lost her memory. Carol ended up getting kidnapped by Valentine and being sent to the labs, where she was experimented and made an Anti-Skull-Weapon like Peacock. But contrary to Marie's friend, Carol was drove mad by the operations made to her and is mind controlled by Brain Drain, one of the most evil mad scientist in the setting.
Status: ALIVE and once Brain Drain becomes aware of Marie, he is definitely going to send Painwhell to kill her.
Valentine: Member of Last Hope, a team from the Anti Skullgirls Lab Zero. In the original story, Valentine and her team battled against Marie, and she killed all of the except Valentine, forcing her to become her minion and do her bidding, while secretly researching more about the skullheart and planning to eventually betray Marie and Double.
Status: ALIVE and while her team are imprisioned on the time out box for being Naughty. Helped marie infiltrate the place. Set things up so Vitale and Cerebella were able to see Marie and provoked more Problems with Marie. She has been sent back to the Time Out Boss.
Double: Sentient shapeshifting monstrous blob created by the Trinity, a group of beings that created the Skullheart and want to kill all living humans in the world. Double works as their agent, always being near a Skullgirl to "advise" her.
Status: ALIVE (Unfortunately) And unreliable ally. She annoyed that Marie hasn't killed anyone yet and that she spent hours wandering around town lost. She will be looking for Marie Personally
Squigly and Leviathan: Sienna Contello belonged to a family of a long line of Opera Singers. 14 years before the events of the game, during her Mother's Birthday, the party was raided by the Medici's, who has received a tip that the family has come into possession of the Skullheart, so they set out to kill everyone present, including Squigly. Distraught by the dead of her relatives, her mother Selene used the Skullheart to revive them and it obeyed her wish...by making them her undead slaves and Selene became the new Skullgirl. Luckily Squigly was spared of becoming a mindless zombie by help of Leviathan, the family parasite, who fused to her and helps resist the Skullgirl influence. She assisted other parties into defeating her Mother and she fell to dormancy...until a new Skullgirl comes to wake her up.
Status: ALIVE, has meet Big Band and Marie at the Medici Tower. Marie gave her the Life Gem and was able to fully return to live. Helped Marie and Big Band fight Black Dahlia. She and Mare are now friends! She is accompanying them to the Labs.
Benjamin "Ben" Birdland/ Big Band: One of the few honest cops in New Meridian, once he started sniffing around Medici's business, shi squad took the task to deal with him once and for all. After a grousome beating, he ended up paralyzed and confined to an iron lung. Approached by the Ant Skullgirls Labs, they promised to help Big Band in exchange of joining their ranks. Agreeing to the deal, they rebuild him with a full musical get up, and now this detective is ready to stop any skullgirl around.
Status: ALIVE. Meet Marie again in the Medici Tower. Managed to have a civil conversation. Assisted Marie in fighting Black Dahlia. He is bringing Marie to Lab 8 so she can meet Peacock.
Fukua and Shamone: One of the weirdest characters in the series. Started as a palete swap of Fillia and later as an in joke character from the creators and the community, and later obtained Canon status in Black Dahlia Story Chapter. The in-story explanation is that Fukua is a clone of Fillia made by Brain Drain, the same one that created Painwheel. He created a clone and forced the soul of dead warriors into the body. The result was a mix of a proud warrior expert in close combat and a veteran assassin that excels at ranged weaponry. If we take straight what happened on Dahlia's story mode, the only reason she made an appearance was because Aeon, one of the trinity, that created the Skullheart and gives orders to Double, transported them to where the story was happening, to give a warning of the impeding apocalypse Black Dahlia was causing...
Status: UNKNOWN it's nit likely Fukua should make a normal appeareance in the story, unless either things are goign completley of the rails in a bad direction...or Aeon brings them here for some reason. It can go either way if they become an enemy or ally of Marie.
Eliza: Songtress and Diva from Bastet's Den, Eliza is in fact one of the oldest characters in the series. She has bonded with the parasite Sekhmet, a blood hungry parasite. She uses charity blood drives to keep her parasite and herself satisfied. The medici's know about her activities and use this as blackmail to force her to help them look for Ms. Fortune and the Life Gem she stole. Eliza is one of the most dangerous characters in the story, she had originally killed the Trinity thousands of years ago and is technically responsible of the appeareance of the Skullheart in the world. She is bascially this world's version of a vampire with blood manipulation being her schitck and is quite deadly.
Status: ALIVE and content to remain in the sidelines unless forced to or spurned by the Medicis, still, having Marie meet her might end in trouble.
Beowulf: Famous champion of the Ring, Beowulf was a famous figure during the war time, having defeated one of the most famous Gigans Warriors, Grendel. Thought nowadays, he has lost most of his glory, having participated in a not successful acting career. With the arise of the Skullgirl happening, Beowulf sees this as a chance to recover his fame and status while also proving himelf a hero. He os the most normal character of the series, ...relatively. He fights with only a chair (A true man's weapon), and the dead and reanimated fist of his rival Grendel. Usually a cool guy but also a muscle head.
Status: ALIVE and might or not come after Marie once word that he Skullgirl is around starts spreading. If possible we should find a way for him to sign an autograph for Marie, who is a wrestler fan.
Robo-Fortune: Created by Drain Brain thanks to the Data Valentine was able to collect about Ms. Fortune, she was builkt with the intention of being a loyal and cunning murder android...but her programming ended up being all faulty in all areas and leaves much to be desired. Started as a gag dub from Ms. Fortune' voice actor, but gained enough memetic relevance between the staff and the community that they decided to make her canon. Even of her programming is bugged, she is still a fearsome fighting machine, in her story mode ending, she unleashes the robot Apocalypse upon the world, going full Skynet.
Status: NOT BUILT YET, for her to appear, Brain Drain needs Data of Ms. Fortune with the Life Gem, and hopefully we can snatch that before it happens. Time shenanigans would need to happen for her to appear.
Annie and Sagan: Titular character of the kids' show "Annie, girl of the Stars",a show that has been run for decades, whose main character has been played by several actresses across the years...or so we are made to believe. In fact, Annie has been played by the same person since the show began. Annie is a real character and all the episodes on TV are real narrating her actual adventures. She is a girl who achieved inmortality a long time ago thanks to her mother, who wished for her to have eternal youth, becoming the skullgirl in the process. Since then, Annie has fought to stop the Skullheart ambitions and the Skullgirls rampages whenever they happen.
Status: ALIVE, and too, once she learns the skullgirl is active again, will come to chase Marie. Won't be in the mood to talk things out.
Umbrella: Young princess of the Canopy Kingdom and the little sister of Parasoul, she has been sheltered most of her time, with her best friedn being Hungern, a parasite with almost infinite appetite. She hates to be coddled and wants to prove herslef to her sister Parasoul, seeing the skullgirl appearing things gives her the chance to show how capable she is. Her mother was the previous Skullgirl before Marie and wrecked havoc across the world, needing 3 whole armies to defeat her. One thing to take into account was that her mother was pregnant with Umbrella when she was in the process to become a Skullgirl and this has affected her. It's stated that if she were to become a Skullgirl herself, she will become the strongest one up to date, and considering her mother almost destroyed HALF THE WORLD, that's worrisome.
Status: ALIVE, might or not be in New Meridian with her sister, which might be troubling, she will be drawn to the Skullheart, cause of her connection with her mother, possible candidate for Double to replace Marie with if she becomes to troublesome to handle.
Black Dahlia: Dahlia was mortally wounded by a previous iteration of the Skullheart decades ago, she was saved thanks to the Anti Skull Heart Labs, who rebuilt her body with cybernetics similar to Big Band. Unfortunately, Black Dahlia didn't take well to this changes, could be either because of the near dead experience or the cybernetics messing with her mind, but she became more bloodthirsty and sadistic, wanting to fight and inflict pain to others. She betrayed the labs, and offered her services as a hired gun...eventually leading to been hired by the Medicis, becming their top enforcer and assassin. Thought lately Lorenzo has kept her on a leash and is waiting for the next chance to cut loose, the Skullheart and the robbery of the Life Gem gives her the chance she is looking for.
Black Dahlia is one of the most dangerous characters in the setting, having managed to kill most of the cast, thought preparation and cunning, but still a noteworthy feat. More worringly, she is the only character in the setting to be able to make a wish on the skullheart and not becoming a Skullgirl, being "Pure"..which, doesn't end well for anyone in the cast, nor the world.
STATUS: Alive. Meet Marie, Big Band and Squigly and Leviathan at the Medici Tower. Fought them and ended reciving a Shin Shoryuken , courtesy from Marie. Forced to retreat but will continue to hunt Marie.
Still missing more characters, will add them later when I have time.
Hope this helps for those that don't know much about the setting!

They saved and raised her when she was an orphan because of a war that happened a few years back before the story started. She has tinted glassed when it comes to anything medici related.
Status: ALIVE and part of the Medici Mafia, so highly likely that Marie encounters her when she tries to Kill Lorenzo and Vitale.
Peacock (Patricia): Childhood Friend of Marie, they lived together in the same orphanage before they were captured by slavers. While Marie was able to escape and eventually become the skullgirl, Peacock was tortured and mutilated by the slavers. Luckily she was rescued by the labs. A group created with the one goal of developing weapons to deal with the Skullgirl. She was saved and rebuilt as a Anti-Skullgirls-Weapon.
Status: ALIVE, and once the other Labs notice Marie is around, they will send Peacock to kill Marie. But we might be able to turn Peacock to Marie's side most likely.

Valentine: Member of Last Hope, a team from the Anti Skullgirls Lab Zero. In the original story, Valentine and her team battled against Marie, and she killed all of the except Valentine, forcing her to become her minion and do her bidding, while secretly researching more about the skullheart and planning to eventually betray Marie and Double.
Status: ALIVE and currently the Ninja Nurse and her team are imprisioned on the time out box for being Naughty.
Double: Sentient shapeshifting monstrous blob created by the Trinity, a group of beings that created the Skullheart and want to kill all living humans in the world. Double works as their agent, always being near a Skullgirl to "advise" her.
Status: ALIVE (Unfortunately) and will make contact with Marie soon. And unreliable ally.
Still missing more characters, will add them later when I have time.
Hope this helps for those that don't know much about the setting!
Status: ALIVE, and once the other Labs notice Marie is around, they will send Peacock to kill Marie. But we might be able to turn Peacock to Marie's side most likely.
I'll let you get it now. There's been a lot of creative thinking today, I want to reward it. Hmm, how to define investigation skills...
Starting with the next story post, Marie will have Chun-Li's knowledge of how to conduct criminal investigations. This includes an understanding of how criminal organizations usually function, how to get information from both cooperative and uncooperative people, how to follow a person without being noticed, how to find and follow a money trail, how to search through records efficiently, what kinds of records are useful for answering different questions, how to gather evidence using methods such as fingerprinting and wiretapping, and how forensic science can be used to identify people.
How's that sound? I'll admit, I'm not entirely sure Chun-Li's ever actually shown doing any investigating, so this is my best guess at the skills she'd need to be able to get to the "go to the bad guys' lair and beat them up" stage of things that we usually see her in.
Thank you very much. And since this is the second time you've made a post geared towards helping players keep track of things, I've decided to make the reward something special. You may ask me about any one of the problems that the thread has been discussing and I will give you a totally honest hint for how to solve it. Not the entire answer, but it will be true and, to the best of my ability, not misleading.

Much thanks for this reward Small Nerd, I'm happy to be able to contribute in this quest!
…I'm almost tempted to ask how can we get manage to materialize into the living world as Panda from Tekken (we need to be the fluffiest being around here and hug Marie, she need ALL the hugs)
But priorities so my question will be about our problem of finding a character that can grant a skill or power to help resist the Skullgirls Corruption. Is there any hint you can give us about that?
…I actually forgot that the medicis had people there but it makes sense…
Ehh fuck it we can either kill them lr convince Marie to send them to the box
As how to get there I was thinking maybe we can advise her to use her Kunai and chain to the to tall buildings/rooftops and that way avoid people? Or use the sewage (I think that's how is called in English?) to navigate around the city, just need to find an opening.
Yup,that's her true form, but again, shapeshifter and a really good one at that, can easily fool most people. She usually wears the disguise of. A nun but can easily be anyone else.
She is horrible and manipulative and totally a bad influence on Marie, we need to get the blob away from her and Kill this monster blob forever. With lots of fire preferably.
But priorities so my question will be about our problem of finding a character that can grant a skill or power to help resist the Skullgirls Corruption. Is there any hint you can give us about that?
When it comes to resisting the Skull Heart's influence, the most relevant sort of skill/ability is achieving inner peace and/or mastery of the self. Being too stubborn to be corrupted is a personality trait and can't be learned.
