Extravagant, cel-shaded fighting game Skullgirls is heading to PC next month, as announced on the game's Facebook page . That's the 22nd of August, between you and me and Skullgirls' bizarre kicky/punchy cast, though Steam pre-orders will begin earlier on the 1st.

Here's a trailer for the console version, which launched around a year ago:
