An early build of the fan-requested “male” addition to the Skullgirls roster is now available in the Skullgirls PC Beta.

Ben “Big Band” Birdland, the 2nd DLC character funded from the “Keep Skullgirls Growing” campaign is now playable in the Endless Beta on PC (available to those who purchased the PC version or contributed to the crowdfunding campaign). Much like the pre-release playable build of Squigly, Big Band is an incomplete character that won’t reflect his final, official version; he has a few action-frames missing, and his sprite will “flicker” due to his model size. While there’s no move-list within the Beta, Lab Zero Games CEO Peter Bartholow posted Big Band’s current inputs on the IndieGoGo page:

Specials:

Brass Knuckles – (C)B,F+P

Cymbal Clash – j.QCB+K

Giant Step – QCT+K

Beat Extend – QCB+P, B<->F repeatedly on hit

Supers:

Super Sonic Jazz – QCT+PP (improved after a successful Taunt)

Taunt:

Bagpipe Blues – D,D+2K *This motion is temporary.

Squigly is currently available on the PC version, and due to business issues, has been delayed on the console versions, along with all other updates and patches. Big Band is the 2nd of five characters funded through the IndieGoGo crowdfunding campaign; the remaining characters include Eliza, Beowulf and Robo-Fortune.
