00:00Come to me!
00:04Definitely the most aggro character that I've gotten to write is Battle Beast.
00:08Battle Beast has pretty much one thing on his mind, it's battle.
00:11I will savor this, and if this conflict brings about the end of my life,
00:16I will savor it all the more.
00:22Battle Beast is brutal.
00:23He's just going in, and it's your job to stop him from getting there first,
00:26or keep him away.
00:27I definitely think his warrior persona is emphasized in his style.
00:32He's like, honest. He's coming right at you,
00:34and he's coming at you with everything he's got.
00:37He thinks he's above every other character,
00:39so we've tried to build that into his animation.
00:42So he starts off pretty stoic in his normal attacks,
00:45and as it escalates, he gets more brutal.
00:48We are not there!
00:49Playing as Battle Beast will definitely satisfy your bloodlust.
00:52In general, his gameplay is just very gory.
00:57He's all about these fights, but he's not brainless,
01:00and he showcased a lot in the Machine Head penthouse fight.
01:03He showed strategies, anticipated someone jumping in.
01:08And I think Battle Beast sometimes is, like, disappointed he's won if the battle wasn't good enough.
01:14This battle is beneath me.
01:16There is no honor in killing insects.
01:22His movesets, it's much more aggressive to just emphasize just how strong he is.
01:28Battle Beast is unique in that he's got a big weapon.
01:32Beast can hit people from really far away,
01:34and he's got really good attacks for, like, approaching from the air.
01:36His air down heavy is quite strong.
01:38I think the best move for Battle Beast is definitely his air down heavy.
01:42It basically takes his mace and just clobbers people with it.
01:45Crazy range, and it's got this huge hitbox.
01:48It bounces people off the floor.
01:49Battle Beast is almost reckless with the way he throws himself into combat,
01:54and we felt the best way to express that in combat design
01:58was to give him lots of armor.
02:01You take damage when you get hit, but you will keep attacking.
02:04So he can actually take a hit as he's moving forward
02:07in order to follow it up with something bigger.
02:09So a lot of his moves, he can just plow through the opponent.
02:12He doesn't have a lot of air mobility,
02:14so he's really a grounded character for the most part,
02:16but he's got a really incredible ground dash.
02:18One moment that we really wanted to capture
02:20is when he was beating Mark into the ground in the Machine Head fight.
02:23So we have elements of that in one of his supers
02:25where he's slamming his mace down,
02:28and then we also have built that into his ult.
02:31Too weak to live!
02:34The Blood Rain moment at the end
02:47where he, like, licks his lips,
02:48and we thought that was a great character moment.
02:54If you want to put him in the back
02:55to make use of his really good assist,
02:57if you want to keep him as a last line of defense,
02:59put him right up front and just let him leave the charge.
03:01You can take hits with armor,
03:03you can make big reads,
03:05you can try to enforce your will on the opponent.
03:08If I'm trying to pair up someone with Battle Beast,
03:10I want someone who has more aerial coverage.
03:13So anyone who has, like, an air dash.
03:15So he's slower, so he hits heavier,
03:17and so there's advantage to that.
03:18Make use of that big ol' weapon.
03:20He's one of our strongest characters,
03:22and he feels great when you're playing him.
03:24I will bathe in your blood
03:26and let it wash me free.
03:28That's a little where I need to throw.
03:29He's convert it in your blood
03:32and let it zg him.
03:33I have an energy force.
03:34I have the mouth
03:35That's a fulfill.
03:35I get a great Rangershing break.
03:36Do you want all your Fans to hustle?
03:38Do you want you to drains down to license?
03:39Do you want me to go in the outside?
