Finishing the match with any Blockbuster attack will cause the background to change and display a portrait of the defeated character with a pained expression on their face. This is a reference to the Capcom fighting game JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, which features similar portraits for when a match is finished with a Super. The shaders that Skullgirls uses for its portraits in-game are also internally labeled as "JojosDeathPortrait" in the game's files.

On April 23, 2015, designer Earl "earlfriend" Gertwagen made a statement on the official Skullheart forums explaining that the reason why the game isn't available on either the Nintendo 3DS or the Wii U is because Skullgirls cannot run on the former and the lack of a publisher for the latter.

During Fukua's reveal trailer, the character Brain Drain is deciding which of the candidates featured in the video will become DLC and among those candidates is a dog. The dog gets rejected for being too cute and Brain Drain says "come back when you learn how to manipulate sand or something".
This is a reference to Iggy, a character from the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series. In JoJo, Iggy is notable for being a dog who has the ability to manipulate sand.

On May 23, 2022, it was announced that Valentine was receiving another design update that would incorporate pink shurikens that replaces the original cross. Not only will this affect Valentine's original sprite animations for both the console/PC and mobile versions of the game, but also any story mode art as well as other art pieces included in the Digital Art Compendium.

Valentine's design was officially changed on May 13th, 2014 via a patch update. The update changed all parts of her design that involve a red cross against a white background to be altered so the cross is colored pink instead. This was done in order to prevent legal action by the International Committee of the Red Cross.

Eliza's Story Mode text data commentary contains an ASCII picture based on fan art of Maya Amano from Persona 2. When questioned about it, programmer Jonathan Kim explained that many messages and pictures like that found in the game's code were the result of him venting off steam while working on the game, and that after the game had been datamined by fans, he was forced to remove the majority of those messages and pictures, with some exceptions like the Maya Amano fan art.
