Beowulf SPOILERS - Beowulf Story Mode and Other Lore

That brings me to another point why does no one commend Val for her fighting talents she doesn't have any living weapons or parasites.
Titty Ninja went through a lot of experiments and does a shit ton of drugs to get that fast, and winners don't do drugs.
 
Peacock? i'm sure over half of the cast is physically stronger than Peacock.
 
Well peacock is more the whole package. The power level thing comes more from the characters abilities for example Cerebella is strong problably not as strong as Beowulf but her hat and how she uses it boosts up her power.
 
Let's not turn this into a power level thread, those never turn out well.

Eliza is a bitch-ass hoe and they always lose.

I think Peacock can beat Beowulf. All she has to do is spawn so many chairs to fall on him.
 
I mean, Beowulf does pale to most of the cast because he lacks any of the weird powers that the rest of the cast has

also Eliza killed like half the cast and is probably the strongest canonically that is playable right now so I dont see her losing any time soon
 
When you really think about it the entire cast could beat Beowulf. Except maybe fortune but she could probably beat him in stamina.
 
When you really think about it y'all are just hatin hard

It's not that yall are underestimating him, yall are really overestimating everybody else. For real, the cast ain't as strong as you think they are. To put things in perspective, drop me in the ring with those schmucks and I am very confident that I can beat several of them. I'm also sure that Beowulf is stronger than me.
Yall gotta realize that it's pretty ridiculous to call Beowulf weak, he ain't weak. You gotta pull your head out of that anime mindset, this is a completely different universe.
 
A man that is strong enough to wield a gigan's arm like a weapon, Beowulf is no ordinary human. =P

In my Opinion, he is on the same level as Cerebella, Or Big Band, or Valentine.

I don't think skullgirls as a dragonball z thing where the guy with most ki wins, i think more like, each character has this set of abilities and is able to do such things with them.

Beowulf have fighting skills and is very strong. So he got what it takes to defeat parasites.

If i was going to chose a character to be the weakest, would be Filia, or Parasoul, because parasoul doesn't fight alone, and Filia, while she has the potential, she probably lacks battle experience and union with her parasite.

uh ok sure, any body have that Wacka Flocka reaction GIF where he goes "ok" and gives a weird look? that would be a great reaction image for this statement

so beowulf is strong but he lacks any of the weapons and powers the rest of the cast has to go to to toe with like sorry but he really appears to be the weakest cast member

Don't judge other people by your own weakness and limitations
 
As I understand it:
  • Beowulf and Fortune are "weakest" due to being mostly "normal," with Fortune slightly more powerful due to Life Gem shenanigans. Compare "Three Wulf Moon" and "Fifth of Dismember."
  • Peacock and Painwheel are "peak potential," but untrained. Likewise, Filia/Samson have "raw power," but it's under-utilized.
  • Eliza was going to be the SG2 main villain... so, it'd be tough, but conceivably every character can defeat her. They just haven't yet.
  • Canonically, it takes four characters to defeat Marie, but every gameplay combination could happen. "Canonically Actual" vs "Canonically Possible," if you will. Lone Wulf can defeat Marie, but it'd have to be his peak performance.
  • SG3 was going to have Squigly rip a hole in the fabric of spacetime and accidentally create a portal to Aeon and Venus, so there's untapped potential there. She already has really good damage output (See fireblasting Double).
  • Cerebella's mom was mentioned as being really good at making Living Weapons, so I'd put Vice Versa as stronger than Krieg, but Parasoul's training is better than Cerebella's.
So, I'd put it:
  • Potential: Painwheel > Peacock > Squigly > Eliza > Filia > Double > Marie > Big Band > Cerebella > Parasoul > Valentine > Ms. Fortune > Beowulf
  • Current: Eliza > Double > Marie > Peacock > Big Band > Painwheel > Squigly > Valentine > Filia > Parasoul > Cerebella > Ms. Fortune > Beowulf
I probably messed up Valentine's placement, as she's rather mysterious and hard to gauge. She manages to lose, but survive, almost every encounter we see her in, so it's hard to tell if she's holding back or something. Also, these comparisons are all very, very close. It's almost as if the characters are balanced or something.
 
I fail to see how a guy who bested 2 gigans, no matter how "drugged" they were, and ripped off one of their arms, is weaker than a cat lady that almost died but deus ex machina.
 
The average Skullgirls fan's view on Parasites, Living Weapons, and Special Powers.

"Oh he has a gun, there's literally nothing that anybody can do to beat him unless they also have a gun or something."
 
Meanwhile Annie sits atop her throne, above all.
Nope. Aeon.

And probably Venus.

Not really a fair comparison when we already have several characters that already use guns, some of them WITH said powers and Living Weapons :v

Yeah except the gun is a musical cyborg, a walking cartoon arsenal, a hat that can create diamonds by punching things, a hair monster, a dragon (which beats the real beowulf), a fucking IMMORTAL VAMPIRE, a godamn robot and an ENTIRE FUCKING ARMY.

But don't wory guys he has a steel chair and a strong heart he can beat them.

And a huge arm. A really huge arm.
 
Beo may be the weakest physically,
BUT HE HAS A MOTHA FUCKIN CHAIR.

As I said, it's close. In D&D terms, I'd put Beowulf at, for instance, a level 10 Barbarian, whereas Ms. Fortune would be a level 11 Rogue. The Barbarian may look more impressive, but that's because the Rogue's in the shadows, stealin' yur cheezburgers. Fortune also has remote limb control, blood-propelled rocket legs, can apparently turn her tail into a sword, and can contort her own viscera into a giant ball of string.

Potentially, Ms. Fortune's a less experienced, less spooky, and less crazy Eliza. She just looks less impressive because Clown Acrobatic Entertainment Professional and Blood Goddess happened.
 
Yeah, and even with that she still ain't shit on her own :Y
(You talkin about Parasoul right? Yeah she ain't shit without her squad)
And Peacock
And Double
 
Peacock cannot be separated from her parasite, Double can shape-shift into anything, and Parasoul has extensive military training, heck even Cerebella could beat Beowulf because much like Beowulf she knows wrestling moves.
 
SO ONE QUESTION I HAVE!!!
Was Zazz always Beowulf's agent?
 
Beo has a giant ass arm, fighting experience, and a godlike chair,
Cerebella has a funky hat and a sword,
you guys know the winner.
beo

Yeah Peacock and Double are probably stronger than Beowulf. I never said he was the strongest on the roster, just that he ain't the weakest.
I mean come on, Cerebella is an 18 year old girl, I could knock her out with one punch. Same goes for Parasoul. You're really underestimating how much a very good fighter is capable of.

I tip my fedora to you, sir.

Then if that's so why do you underestimate Cerebella and Parasoul? Is it because you don't like their characters? I'm pretty sure Cerebella has fighting Knowledge and i certainly know Parasoul does if she leads an army. hell if they didnt know how to fight why are they fighters in a fighting game?
 
But Cerebella uses a FUCKING SWORD AND LIVING HAT SHE DOESNT NEED TO BE SKILLED IN THE MARTIAL ARTS, SHE TAKES THE EASY WAY!
 
Using a sword doesn't mean you don't know how to fight. If thats true then Beowulf cannot fight without his chair or Arm BECAUSE HE TAKES THE EASY WAY.

Except he was an actual fighter, Cerebella just hurts people the mob doesn't like, which I assume aren't exactly strong mctough guys.
