Skylar Ali is a survivor in Dead Rising 2. He was caught up in the zombie outbreak in Fortune City. He reappears in Dead Rising 2: Off the Record with the same role, though he does not help fight back when the Safe House is breached in Case 7-4: Breach.
Introduction[]
- Main article: Introduction (Dead Rising 2)
Skylar was seen trying to flee with his girlfriend outside the Fortune City Arena, but she was grabbed by a zombie and killed. He was terrified and ran for his life, later bumping into Chuck Greene and Katey on the way to the Fortune City Emergency Shelter. He was later seen lamenting over not being able to rescue his girlfriend, having made it into the shelter along with several other survivors before the doors were sealed. Raymond Sullivan cleared him and he headed inside the bunker where he rests in one of the rooms.
Case 6-4: Breach[]
- Main article: Case 6-4: Breach
When the shelter is breached, Skylar is seen fighting off a crowd of zombies and manages to defend himself until the doors are resealed.
Overtime Mode[]
- Main article: OVERTIME (Dead Rising 2)
As the rescue team sent by Channel 6 Action News came in to save the survivors, Skylar was seen getting into a helicopter with Tamara Stein. Before he escaped, Chuck asked him if he has seen Stacey Forsythe or Katey which he denied.
Sandbox Mode[]

Skylar will spawn in front of the escalators leading to Shoal Nightclub armed with a Tiki Torch. Once defeated he drops his weapon and $10,000.
Trivia[]
- In Dead Rising 2: Off the Record, should Frank West run out of health or time during escape, Skylar will help Frank West to get into the safe house.
- Even if Skylar (same goes to Tamara) dies in Case 6-4, he will still appear at the Ending S cutscene.
- This glitch has been corrected in Dead Rising 2: Off the Record as he and Tamara are replaced during the breach with Tomomi Miyamoto and Lulu Barra.
- Skylar may be named after two Capcom employees, Skylar White and Anim Ali.
- There is a unused cinematic cutscene (video below) called 54b_Hack_the_gate.txt after Case 6-4 in which Skylar saved Chuck from a lone zombie in the Safe House, and proceeded to check the rest of the bunker for any straggling zombies. Cutscene dialogue:
- Close call.
- Don't worry, I'll get the rest of them.
- If the cameras are disabled during the exit the stadium cutscene, Skylar can be seen running away after his girlfriend is killed. However, after he runs off-screen, his model freezes and stays there.[1]
