destructoid.com:

There’s no fighting game that I’m happier for the continued existence of than Skullgirls. The dynamic and visually appealing 2D fighter has clambered over multiples walls, hurdles, licensing issues, and controversies ever since its debut an incredible 10 years ago, yet remains not only alive and well, but still beloved by its dedicated community.

This weekend saw the launch of the tag fighter’s newest updates: Version 3.3.22 (PC) and Version 01.11 (PlayStation). The new digital drop brings with it a fresh run of bug fixes and balance tweaks, alongside the second DLC character of the Season One pass, following on from Annie of the Stars. So dig out your wellies and introduce yourselves to Skullgirls 2nd Encore‘s totes adorbs mini-monarch, Umbrella!

Princess of Canopy Kingdom and sister of roster mainstay Parasoul, Umbrella strides bravely and gleefully into battle armed with her sentient, ever-eating sidekick Hungern. As you can see from the trailer above, Umbrella is surprisingly complex for such a moppet, utilizing close distance pokes, her diminutive frame, acrobatic skills, and even the ability to launch bubbles as projectiles, combo extenders, and even platforms! Don’t be fooled by her childlike nature, this gal will rain on your parade.

Umbrella is now live for Skullgirls 2nd Encore Season Pass holders, or can be purchased separately for everyone else. Umbrella brings with her a new stage, The Boardwalk, a new music track, an array of palette options, her narrator voice pack, and new combo trials. In addition, the update features a selection of balance changes, so be sure to check out the official patch notes and see whether your favorite femme got an in-game boost.
