Biweekly fighting game tournament Rebel Up draws to a close, but with it came updates on upcoming DLC character Beowulf, courtesy of Lab Zero's Mike Z! Also, Shin was there.

  • Beowulf now has a character select sprite and announcer soundbite.
  • His idle animation is fully colored; his first cleaned animation!
  • Beowulf now has his c.MP: A heavy-hitting punch with a surprising amount of reach.
  • s.MP: Beowulf delivers a vicious punch, microphone clutched in hand. If held, he drops the mic and makes the crowd go wild. The falling microphone hits overhead!
  • s.LK: A stomp that (currently) hits low.
  • Chairless c.HK: Beowulf swings Grendel's arm across the floor in a 30f sweep that reaches over halfway across the screen. Causes Beowulf to fall over, requiring a ground tech (like Big Band's j.HK). While it cannot be comboed off of, it has two hits of armor!
  • Part of his timeout: Beowulf sits on his chair and contemplates in frustration.
  • With Beowulf's first colored animations come his first palettes! Welcome Batman and William Riker.
You can view this week's Beowulf updates here on Twitch or in the Youtube clip below.

that shit grin that Beo gets when he is about to drop the mic. It's like "Yeah Baby, you KNOW that I'm about to drop this microphone and there is nothing you can do to stop me."

It's too good.
 
I kind of want s.LK to be repeatable like 5 times because King, even though I know the move is inspired by Potemkin.

Oh, and thanks YouTube for making me aware that nasty people have a fetish for this move -.-
 
Ah well...
Maybe he isn't THAT bad after all...
I mean...

HOLY COW I CAN'T WAIT FOR HIM HE'S SO DAMN AWESOME
 
So Mike_Z said something about William Riker's palette being relevant somehow. Does this mean that Beowulf will be a master of Ambojitsu???

Aww stahp it you

I'm really loving how creative and interesting his gameplay is getting. I thought I'd never use him because I don't know shit about wrestling, therefore I'd never know how to make him work, but he looks like a lot of fun and he's beat-'hem-up inspired, so. Yeah.
I also find it hilarious how the more he progresses, the more most lore-fans hate him.
People still mad for not getting their waifus

He doesn't have that many moves right now, but he's already awesome.
Dat mic drop, though
 
We thought Eliza's sweep was crazy? Beo is going to be so much fun to play against.

Wow, Beowulf is getting cooler...and he is coming along quite nicely (and fast). I hate to say this but he makes me wish we actually had a little bit more male characters in Skullgirls. That Batman palette is everythinggggg man.

Do you think is it's silly if there was a Superman Palette?

*Edit* I starting to get more excited for Beowulf! Whoo! That sweep!
 
Wow, looks like I left way too early last night.

I would have lost my shit at the William Riker palette.

i'm still hoping hat Beo's Story explain that Eliza after credits scene
I doubt he will, since Ahad confirmed he's not into the main story.
He'll be more important for gameplay than lore.
 
HE IS NOT EVEN DONE AND IS ALREADY TOP TIER
 
Bella with Beowulf were already a pretty interesting anticipated grappler duo. Harley Bella with BeoBatman brings it to the next level. Joker Peacock when.

Now, my hype for Beowulf is even more powerful than before.

"Batman was actually come up with by accident. But Riker is on purpose because of some things you guys will find out once we add them."

Any Star Trek: The Next Generation fans out there have any idea what that might be? What connects a spaceship first officer with a Grendel-slaying burly wrestler?

Voice actor yo. Either for Beowulf himself or, because he works through crowd hype, I think he'll have his own wrestling style announcer other than Joshua. Could be beowulf's hype man.

Oh my god...
That Will Riker palette will be my main for Beowulf.
Just too damn awe-inspiring.
 
I was pissed that a beowolf got in because he's so irrelevant to the story, but his gameplay is soooo cool. Calling it now there's going to be a hype meter.

Yeah...


You can't make a wrestling character without a reference to the Fire Pro Wrestling Series
 
I have to get better with Parasoul now so I can have the Gotham Trio team.
