Story

Known world-wide for felling the Gigan warrior Grendel and for his illustrious career in the ring, Beowulf had secured himself a spot in the history books as a champion. But a mediocre acting career after leaving the ring tarnished his legacy.

Now, as the Canopy Kingdom faces a new threat, Beowulf enters the ring once more, determined to relive the glory, and in doing so stumbles upon the truth about his past... Will Beowulf be able to overcome this new threat to the city and his legacy? Or is this his final taste of the spotlight?

Overview

Beowulf is a resource-based beat-em-up styled character with strong mix-ups and tremendous damage, given he has those resources. He is best at close range utilizing his fast hop-dash overheads to force his opponent to guess between a high/low/throw. He also performs well in the mid range thanks to his trusty folding chair, The Hurting.

Chair and Chairless modes:

One of Beowulf's main mechanics is his ability to remove and re-equip his chair, which gives him different abilities.

Chair On:

  • Has access to wide-arcing disjointed normals.
  • A pseudo double jump.
  • And his Hurting Hurl (236P) series, which includes a sweeping projectile, a delayed overhead, and a slow, but plus on block, reversal.

Chair Off:

  • Chair normals are replaced with either stubby hitgrabs in s.HP and j.HP or bigger, slower armored moves in c.HP and c.HK. c.HP hits twice and can force RPS on block by spending meter (or hype if he's near his chair), and c.HK can tank multiple hits and is an almost fullscreen sweep that he can tech roll afterwards.
  • Loses access to his Hurting Hurl, which also has his only meterless invul reversal. Although, he gains a new special: Take a Seat, which allows him to special cancel his normals to extend combos, pressure, and improvise mixups.
  • Landing on the chair with a Grab Stance ender re-equips it, deals bonus damage, and gives a level of hype.


Grab Stance and Hype:

When Beowulf grabs the opponent either from his throws, hitgrabs, Airwulf, or Wulfamania, Beowulf will enter a unique Grab Stance mode where he holds the opponent in the air and can pummel them and select a wide series of "finishers" to continue the combo or position himself as he pleases. This is complimented by his Hype mechanics, where upon doing select actions, finishers, or taunting Beowulf will amass 1-3 levels of Hype.

When Beowulf has Hype he can spend the hype levels during Grab stance to use EX finishers which sacrifice a pinch of damage (except for Canis Major and Geatish Trepak) for utility effects, such as EX Canis Major (2PP while airborne in Grab Stance) with long Hard Knockdown for sajejumps and oki setups, EX Grendel Killa (4KK in Grab stance) for a strong finisher that allows normal followups, or EX Geatish Trepak (2KK with chair on in Grab Stance) to get a doublesnap when close to the corner or send them fullscreen.


Hop dash: Beowulf can do any of his air normals during his dash (although heavy normals will not come out), similarly to Sasquatch's shorthops, which allows him to do a variety of things such as: Going for a safe on block, nigh-unreacatble overhead to open up his opponent, or bait the opponent's reversal by timing a safejump from a normal or EX Canis Major. Utilizing this well allows Beowulf to overwhelm his opponent at the short range and make them fear pushing buttons against him.


Playstyle
SG beo icon.png Beowulf is a resource-based, okizeme-oriented, rushdown character that builds a unique resource that can be spent to do massive amounts of extra damage.
Pros Cons
  • High Damage: High frontloaded damage, bolstered when he has Hype, due to his Grab Stance options and Gigantic Arm tacking on good damage at any point.
  • High Metergain: Beowulf gains high amounts of meter primarily from Headbutts during Grab Stance, allowing him to build up meter to kill an opponent or save it for his team..
  • Okizeme: Strong okizeme that he can go into whenever he pleases. Hopdash jLK is an extremely fast overhead that is your primary safejump tool.
  • Straightforward Neutral: Very easy to pick up and play due to its simplicity, giving him presence on demand very effectively.
  • Mobility: His non-standard mobility options either require The Hurting (j2HK) or are committal (Blitzer) and while he does boast the fastest walk speed, you generally do not get to just walk at the opposition.
  • Hurtboxes: Fairly large hurtbox makes it difficult for Beowulf to avoid stuff in neutral and opens himself up for getting clipped by attacks.
  • Straightforward Neutral: Due to it being straightforward, it also becomes fairly easy to deal with, leaving him open when trying to play it out.

Assists

H Hurting Hurl (default assist)

An invulnerable DP assist that is also a projectile. It has a good hitbox and trajectory, but has a slow startup and can be avoided fairly easily. Also, Beowulf will only do the chair throw if The Hurting is not on cooldown or if the move is used as an alpha counter. Otherwise he will enter the screen, do nothing, and leave.

2HP (default assist)

A launcher with a good hitbox in front of Beowulf that becomes an armored assist that hits twice when he does not have The Hurting equipped.

L Hurting Hurl (236LP)

A forward traveling low projectile assist that is also a sweep. Useful for mixups and has easy confirms. Like H Hurting Hurl, The Hurting must not be on cooldown for Beowulf to perform the assist.

2HK

A fast sweep with The Hurting equipped or a slow, long reaching, armored sweep without it.

Wulf Shoot (236LP+LK)

A command grab with a slow startup that travels fast and always ends with Da Grendel Killa.

Move List

Character Mechanic: Chair (The Hurting)

SG beo chair.png

Beowulf can remove his chair, The Hurting, by using Hurting Hurl (236P) or j2HK. The normals that would have used the chair are changed when Beowulf doesn't have the chair, and he no longer has access to using Hurting Hurl, Geatish Trepak, and Striker Kick. Also, he will take 35 bonus points of chip damage per hit from all sources except from projectiles. For a period of time after the chair is let go, it stays on the ground and is dimmed. After some time, it lights up, indicating that Beowulf can interact with the chair as soon as it starts flashing. Beowulf can pick the chair back up by:

  • Using the Take a Seat special move (standing near the chair and pressing Sg k.png + Sg k.png).
  • Using EX Chair Recall (having 3 levels of Hype and pressing 2.gif, 2.gif + Sg k.png + Sg k.png).
  • Landing on it with a grab stance finisher or Three Wulf Moonsault, which additionally increases their damage,
  • Tagging in, regardless if the chair is lit up or not.

Character Mechanic: Grab Stance and Hype

Beowulf's throw is different from the rest of the cast because, rather than throwing his opponent, he enters Grab Stance where he is freely able to pummel his opponent and position himself, a mechanic similar to older beat'em up arcade games.

Entering Grab Stance in the middle of an ongoing combo will advance the combo stage to at least Stage 3 and begin building undizzy (if he is not already at Stage 3).

When in Grab Stance, Beowulf is fully invulnerable and allowed to do a number of actions within a time frame of entering Grab Stance or until he runs out of actions.

  • Beowulf gains 4 actions when he enters Grab Stance with a throw, air throw, and using two levels of Hype after Three Wulf Moonsault.
  • 5 actions when he enters Grab Stance with Wulf Shoot and Wulfamania!.
  • 2 actions when he enters Grab Stance with 2MK and (Chairless) 5HP.
  • 1 action when he enters Grab Stance with (Chairless) j.HP and Airwulf after using an EX ender/finisher during it.
  • Using EX Wulf Press Slam or Diving Wulfdog before the last action will force you to input another action. In practice, this allows for Hype moves to be inserted without using an action, for a theoretical total of 5 actions off of a normal throw with Hype instead of 4.

Beowulf leaves Grab Stance when he has no actions left, when the timer runs out, or when he uses an ender/finisher.

  • Using Berserker Headbutt or Naegling Knee Lift will consume one action.
  • Using an ender/finisher will end Grab Stance.
    • Using EX Wulf Press Slam or Diving Wulfdog will consume a Grab Stance action except IF they're used as the final Grab Stance action.

So it is best to use as many Berserker Headbutts or Naegling Knee Lifts before your final action.


Upon entering Grab Stance, Beowulf has X frames to input an action, otherwise he will default to ending Grab Stance with Wulf Press Slam if on the ground, except in Wulfamania! where he will end with Da Grendel Killa, or Canis Major Press if in the air. The timers for Grab Stance is as follows:

  • 23f via Airwulf.
  • 45f via 5HP and (OTG) 2MK.
  • 75f via a ground throw and spending 2 levels of Hype after Three Wulf Moonsault
  • 115f with Wulf Shoot and Wulfamania!
    • 42f after Bersker Headbutt(during Wulfamania!).
    • 43f after Naegling Knee Lift(during Wulfamania!).
  • The opponent will automatically tech if you do not input an action 17f after Berserker Headbutt or Naegling Knee Lift (except during Airwulf and Wulfamania).

Beowulf is able to enter Grab Stance up to two times normally, three times with EX Da Grendel Kila, and even more with clever use of Hype and assists. After the second or third Beowulf leaves Grab Stance, his opponent will become fully invulnerable and be able to use a ground recovery as soon as they touch the ground.


Hype is Beowulf's other resource aside from The Hurting that greatly benefits him. Hype amplifies Beowulf's ender/finishers and increases his utility by granting additional moves (Grab Stance EX enders, and EX Chair Recall / Wulf Blitzer)

Beowulf gains Hype by (from a minimum of 1/3 to a max of 3 levels of Hype):

  • Using any Grab Stance ender/finisher when at 0 levels of Hype (1 level gained).
  • Slamming onto The Hurting with a Grab Stance ender/finisher (does not stack with the 0 Hype bonus, 1 level gained).
    • Also applies when Beowulf is an assist.
  • Every 35f 5LP is held (1 level gained).
  • Every mic drop (only the first mic drop from 5MP counts in a combo, 1/3 level gained).
  • Every 5HK that staggers the opponent ( 1/3 level gained).
  • Holding down a Sg k.png during EX Chair Recall (1 level gained).
  • Taunting (3 levels gained).
  • Landing his command throw super Wulfamania! (3 levels gained).

Beowulf can spend Hype during Grab Stance by inputting Sg p.png+Sg p.png or Sg k.png+Sg k.png after the moves respective motion. When Beowulf does so, his enders/finishers will gain extra properties. (What each EX ender does is listed with their respective move.)

Note: Hype acquired mid combo from held 5LP, Taunt, or non-EX throw finishers (and any hype acquired in the same combo afterwards), makes any EX ender it is spent on deal 70% of its original damage. This does not apply to Blockbuster finishers, or Geatish Trepak since it's not boosted during the EX version. TL;DR - Spending hype gained mid combo on EX finishers does less damage.

Depending on how long the button is held, the mic drop can combo from the punch or un-combo to function as an overhead reset. The mic drop can always be comboed out of, and builds 1/3 of a level of Hype.
  • When combined with a cancel into L Hurting Hurl, this move can be effectively used for high/low mixups.

  • Beowulf uses Grendel's arm for an armored uppercut that hits twice, replacing his only launcher with the Hurting. Although it sends the opponent on a similar trajectory to a launcher, it is not a true launcher; Beowulf can't jump cancel this attack. If Beowulf uses the move more then once in the same combo, it will send the opponent up to only half of the regular height.
  • Beowulf takes full damage from any moves that hit him during the armored window.
  • If Beowulf has a level of Hype and is close to The Hurting, you can push Sg k.png+Sg k.png to do an "EX" Take a Seat to special cancel this move.
  • Beowulf can super cancel this move to counter his opponent's potential punish depending on the situation.
    • Beowulf can super cancel into Airwulf on block to make an escape from a bad situation (Although using this too much will make you predictable and get punished), into Gigantic Arm to punish them for pushing a button, or into Wulfamania! if they're expecting the first two.

  • Due to it's 3 hits of armor and being able to super cancel while your opponent hits the armor, this can be used as a meterless reversal or a punish (albeit risky).
    • Despite its 3 hits of armor, Beowulf takes full damage from any moves that hit him during the armored window.

  • As this move leaves Beowulf chairless, he will take additional chip damage on block. See Chair (The Hurting) section for more details.
  • Gives Beowulf a pseudo double jump, allowing him to use it to bypass careless zoning, as an offensive approach, or to avoid your opponents wake up options, all while being able to either convert on the way down if it hits, or block if it doesn't.

  • Sg mp.png
    • Beowulf tosses The Hurting in the air for a projectile that hits twice, with the second hit must be blocked high, and leaves the chair in front of him.
    • Leaves Beowulf plus on hit and leaves him the position to reset his opponent with a high/low/throw. He can also choose not to and have the chair come down for a potential counterhit to punish his opponent.
      • This position also allows the opponent to reversal so use with caution.
  • Sg hp.png
    • Beowulf's only meterless reversal.
    • Beowulf hurls The Hurting for a single hitting projectile that travels fullscreen in a parabolic arc, leaves him +1 on block, and can use OTG to confirm with 2HK into Gigantic Arm or Wulf Blitzer.
    • The 30f of hit-invul this move has allows Beowulf to safely dodge through a plethora of moves and then counter with a super of his choice.
      • Although, due to the lengthy startup this allows his opponent to either startup a reversal of their own, grab him, safejump, meaty, or plain move out of the way as well. Use with care.
    • Puts The Hurting on the longest cooldown.
    • Beowulf has a 4f buffer for normals after this move.

  • Beowulf ends an air Grab Stance with a body press, landing on top of the opponent. If Beowulf slams his own deployed chair using this move, it deals 250 bonus points of damage, generates 1 level of Hype, and automatically re-equips the chair.
  • If no other attacks are used during a Grab Stance that then expires in midair, this move is performed automatically.
  • Beowulf is unable to use this ender/finsiher if he does either Berserker Headbutt or Naegling Knee Lift as a Grab Stance action.
  • A key move in Beowulf's okizeme, allowing him to force his opponent guess between a high/low/throw on their wakeup and can bait out reversals. But if you spend a level of Hype, it increases the amount of time it takes for the opponent to wake up, which allows Beowulf to add the ability safejump/meaty slower reversals and cross up with j.LK or j.HP.
  • Unlike other Hard KDs, this move's frame advantage is consistent on all characters.
  • If you have 3 levels of hype, or used two levels of hype in the same combo, and the opponent is on their last character with 1550 HP or less, the EX version will end the match with a special animation where a penguin referee appears.
  • Will trigger Undizzy when the move that enters Grab Stance is not chained into.
    • A simple example would be:
5LK > 2MP > 5HP xx Canis Major Press
