There are no repercussions to anything people say online anymore. They will call you anything and everything ... anyhow, what is Skullgirls? Sounds weird and yet entertaining!
It's a fighting game with 8 unique characters (all with some "disgusting" or weird element to them, like Ms Fortune being able to dismember herself during her attacks, or detaching her head to attack you with it independently from her body), with sort of anime-ish chibi-ish graphics, all very well drawn IMO. There's both standard 1 on 1 battles, or 3 on 3 battles where you can tag in/out your characters and use other characters as support.
It's made by Mike Z, a fairly prominent (at least a while back, not sure anymore) BlazBlue player who played a mean Tager (in fact, the original BlazBlue special edition had a tutorial blu-ray which included parts by Mike Z... his Tager tutorial is the reason Tager became my main in that game
). He spent around 10 years developing this fighting game engine, and got other people to join him in the development (creating the world and characters, amongst other things). It's supposedly made to be welcoming to new players, with a great tutorial that covers a lot of stuff from basic movements/attacks to mix-ups and combos. It also has some interesting mechanics, like one that detects if a player is stuck in an infinite and that enables that player to get out of it with a single button press. Overall it seems very well done from my short playtime with it.
And (finally found actual proof rather than hearsay on a forum) he confirmed that, if it sells well, it will get patched with a movelist and DLC characters.
*EDIT*
Until there's an in-game movelist, I found this, it's gonna do for now:
