Challenges
In challenges, players square off against opponents with a variety of unique battle conditions to test their mettle. Can you beat Big Band without jumping? Or defeat triple Doubles?
 
Trials
Trials test players’ skills by having them perform combos. Trials are built on a new "button-by-button" instructional system to make learning combos easier and more intuitive than ever.
 
Furthermore, unlike many fighting game trials...Skullgirls 2nd Encore’s trials include combos frequently used in real play, from basic bread ‘n butter to more advanced combos.
 
Survival Mode
Skullgirls 2nd Encore’s new Survival Mode pits players against an endless procession of foes – how long can you last?
 
The better you do, the more health you’ll recover between rounds. The longer you last, the harder your foes will become.
 
Full Platinum Trophy Set
For all the trophy hunters out there, Skullgirls 2nd Encore will have a full Platinum trophy set.
 
The 43 trophies will test players’ mastery of Skullgirls and the new content. Many of the previous trophies are returning, while others have been adjusted based on player feedback.
 
Cross-Play Across the Entire PlayStation Family
To keep the online community from fragmenting, Skullgirls 2nd Encore supports cross-play across all three PlayStation platforms: PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita!
 
PlayStation 4 Version: PlayStation 3 Peripheral Support
Skullgirls 2nd Encore will support PlayStation 3 fight sticks on the PlayStation 4, thanks to the excellent work of our friend John “Cowboy” Bellomy. Just plug in your old stick and play!
 
Since we announced this feature, NetherRealm Studios has licensed it for use in Mortal Kombat X on PlayStation 4.
 
Skullgirls 2nd Encore PS4/Vita Cross-buy
When you buy the PS4 version of Skullgirls 2nd Encore, you’ll get the Vita version with it free; and vice-versa!
 
We’re going to try and get both out simultaneously, but expect the Vita version releasing shortly after the PS4 version.
 
Free PlayStation 4 Theme When You Pre-Order
You’ll be able to pre-order Skullgirls 2nd Encore in the coming months, and you’ll get a beautiful PS4 theme as a bonus(for your purchase). It’s pretty great, if we say so ourselves; and we'll release a preview of it, before too long.
 
 
I'll update this thread with future news/updates as they become available(to me).

The only reason I never put the effort into 100% 'ing the original Skullgirls was because I thought it was too much work for no Platinum (not to mention I suck at this game)... Now the PS4 version will have a Platinum? Lab Zero really knows how to dangle that carrot in front of us trophy hunters. :P

The question I want to know is this;

 

If one already has Skullgirls Encore, do we get 2nd Encore money off or free on Vita?

 

I'm more likely seeing a discount instead of getting the game free. The article did say if you get the PS4 version, then the PS Vita version will be free and vice versa but never said anything about the PS3 version.
