OK, so, I just got an update from Sony.
They looked into it and found that there were (for some reason) two paid versions of Skullgirls on PSN. When they initially compiled the list of people that should get vouchers, they only pulled the customers from one of those two versions.
They've now compiled the list of all the people that bought the other one, and those vouchers should broadcast tonight. Same thing as last night: upload around 9 PST, hopefully in your box within an hour or two after that.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience on this.

??? Maybe something happened with the Slightly Different Edition patch back then? Why would that even have happened
Yeah, NO idea.
We never gave them a remaster of the whole game for SDE, so no idea why Konami would swap it out or whatever they did.
They just said that "there was another paid version that was deactivated in 2012." So I'm guessing that's why it seems like our most dedicated fans are the ones that don't have their codes - they bought the initial release that was deactivated.

So maybe it's not a coincidence that most of my friends and I who got the game pre-patch didn't get our codes yet
Any rate this is good news to hear, and with classes already cancelled tomorrow I'll probably get to stay up for it this time lol

A hypothetical if I may. What if somebody redeems a code for OG Skullgirls now? Do they or how would they still get Encore for free if that is even a possibility?

That's weird, I bought my PS3 copy after that date and yet I don't seem to have gotten a code either :/

Yeah got my code here a moment ago, gonna dive in right away!
...Is this nightmare finally over?
No, they wouldn't.
First, their system only tracks monetary transactions. So anyone who got it via a code for free won't get the voucher.
Second, we're not going to ask Sony to do this again.
No, they wouldn't.

What... Yeah, I'm not paying to play Encore just because I happened to get a download code for the original version from Gamestop.
E-mail me at indiegogo@labzerogames.com and I'll try to give you a promo code to replace that.
Also, WTF? Since when were there codes being given away at Gamestop?
Thanks for the speedy response! I just emailed you.
I'm not sure about the second part though? All I know is Crazytank bought me a code on Gamestop's website back in December.
I also bought the original Skullgirls from Gamestop like the one person above me. They (Gamestop) gave me a code via e-mail in order to download it from PSN. Is this going to effect my entitlement to getting the voucher for Skullgirls Encore?
bruh gamestop's been selling Skullgirls codes for about a year now. SG went retail
Yeah, unfortunately. :\
Sony could only pull purchase data from actual financial transactions on PSN. Which means that anyone who got the original game from a voucher would not get the Encore voucher.
Send me an e-mail at indiegogo (at) labzerogames (dot) com and I'll try to sort this out, but... man, this is not going to be easy.
...Guh, seriously?
Fuck, going to have to figure out how to deal with this, now. :\
Just shot you an e-mail. Thanks for the quick reply, amigo.

My paranoia finally backfired. Had to happen sooner or later. No biggie. I'll give this some time to die down before I shoot you an e-mail about it. You have enough on your plate as it is at the moment.

Yay!!!! I got mine!! Once again, thanks Ravidrath and the rest of the Skullgirls team!
Man, there's always something, huh.
If you need volunteers to help sending out Encore codes to people who bought the game codes through other retailers, then let me know. This snow has given me plenty of free time.
Lol, it is for me since I did receive my voucher during the night and I'm playing it right now. :^]

I decided to check gamestop's site to see if they still sell the code to the old, delisted game. Turns out they still do.

Got my shit in PSN this morning.

Honest question, IGG campaign aside (and even then not entirely), has ANYTHING actually gone as expected or better during development?
Well ok maybe I'm exaggerating but seriously something always seems to happen lately
Nothing ever goes as planned.
That's just kind of game development in general, BTW. We just tend to get more crap on the business side of things.
And thought I'd check out Skullgirls' tags on Steam...

Got my code last night and put some time into my new team; Ms. Fortune/Double/Squiggly.
I was never able to play the Steam version (my laptop just cried when I booted it up) so I was unprepared for the improvements. Seems like a totally different game.
For those of you looking into this thread and are still on the fence about the game; buy it. Seriously, just buy it.

Going to take a few days to start dealing with the Gamestop code situation.
We've put in the request for the codes, and are trying to figure out what proof people can provide so we're not getting scammed.
And about Gamestop still selling them - apparently those won't work, because the game has been delisted. So it's just a shitty thing Gamestop does, where people have to go ask for a refund because they don't actually bother to clean up their listings. Sony says they'll ask them to take it down, though.

I can't speak for everyone for what I'm about to say, but when it comes to proving proof of who purchased a Skullgirls code from Gamestop and who didn't, the only form of proof available to me is the online receipt e-mailed to me by Gamestop upon purchasing Skullgirls. Gamestop has an "Order History" page for registered accounts where one can "supposedly" view their past orders as well as the codes used for digital downloads, however when I went to check my Order History on their website it gave me absolutely no record of my past purchases with them.
Again, this might just be me, but if someone else who bought Skullgirls from Gamestop confirms that they too can't view their past order history on the Gamestop website, then it would seem that the only way to prove one bought it from them is via the online receipt they e-mail to their customers upon purchase.
Hopefully this information helps you find out the best way to determine the best form of proof to use in this situation, and again: if anyone else who bought Skullgirls from Gamestop can confirm whether or not their Order History page on the Gamestop website shows no records of their Skullgirls purchase, that would be helpful. Hopefully it's just me that has this issue with their Order History page.

Too late just turned everything off around the time you posted :/
Still, I did get Keninblack and pretty sure it was Severin to completely destroy me. Fun.
Sorry in advance for the question, I'm pretty sure it has been asked tons, but I briefly searched around and didn't find anything about it.
What kind of new content is bundled with Skullgirls Encore (aside from Squigly)? New arenas? New/edited cutscenes? Art galleries?
Also, what does 'free for a limited time' (related to Squigly) mean?
Free as in a timed promotion - where the character is actually free for a few days - or it's more like DoA5U Core Fighters, with Squigly being free for a month or so, then she gets locked and you have to buy the DLC, in order to keep using her in the game?
Hope I won't have to wait too much extra time for my EU PSN Encore and XBLA update.

Free for a limited time means "download it during the first 3 months and then keep it forever".
Not counting Squigly and her story mode, the game has A LOT of gameplay changes, like 3 new stages, an extra bonus mode that you'll probably never beat because fuck Marie 300%, and yes I think it should have an art gallery since the pc version has one I forgot to check.
