Parasoul's kid sister, Umbrella, was originally going to be included in the initial release of the game, but was dropped early on in favor of Valentine and Double to increase the number of combat-capable villain characters. Unused graphics and voice clips for Umbrella can still be found within the game's files, although Umbrella would later become a DLC character in the game's first Season Pass in 2021.

According to Lab Zero Games, the total cost of adding a new character to the game's roster is more than $150,000:
"No doubt you've noticed the surprisingly large sum we're requesting to finish Squigly. Believe it or not, this is actually cheap for a fighting game character, and the only reason it's even this cheap is because she's already partially complete, and our staff have volunteered to take pay cuts to try and increase the odds of meeting our goal."

Fans of the Hasbro TV show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" set out on making a fighting game called "My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic." Developed by a team of fans called "Mane6," the game would use locales and characters from the show. However, after receiving a cease and desist from Hasbro Corporation, Lab Zero Games added a stretch goal in their Skullgirls Indiegogo campaign to allow the Mane6 dev team to use the Skullgirls engine. The stretch goal was met, allowing Mane6 to continue their game with different assets.
