In regards to Skullgirls, the game's soundtrack does a very good job of reinforcing the concept of the game's 1920s feel, but of course, with a modern twist. When it comes to a lot of the games I play, I usually chose to listen to my own music rather than the music in the actual game, mostly due to the music making me feel how I want while playing said game, and this especially true for fighting games, but there are exceptions, with Skullgirls being one of them. The music in Skullgirls is not only exciting enough to get me in a fighting mood, but the general jazz nature of the majority of the music also keeps me relaxed and calm. The music also helps with building the atmosphere throughout the different fighting stages, such as Royal Canopy Waltz which fits perfectly with it's stage Glass Canopy, a grand ballroom under a canopy of glass, or with matching to the tone of a character, such as Unfinished Business in regards to the character Big Band ,who was once betrayed and left for dead and now strives to save the world from the Skullgirl. It should also be said that in addition to the music perfectly fitting the game, the music is also awesome, with my favorite song being Pick of the Litter.
