Skullgirls Encore on PS3 - Big Band Trailer

With a change in publisher comes a change in name, but luckily that's not all. Big Band is the first male character in the series who will later be joined by Beowulf when his DLC is also released.

The beat-'em-up was removed from the PSN due to a change in publisher from Konami to Zero Labs Games. With the change come several improvements including character balance tweaks, a new training mode and a stun meter.

Once a regular beat cop known as Ben Birdland, he fell flat when he got on the wrong side of New Meridian's corrupt police force. Birdland was broken and bent out of shape by his former colleagues, but was tuned up by Dr. Avian and ASG Lab 8. Now he is armed with a full ensemble of pneumatic weaponry, transforming him into the full fortissimo instrument of justice: "Big Band."
