Overview

Cat Venom in a game with Superdash. Weird normals. Weird pressure. Good in the right hands. WIP.

"Surely you knew what would happen if you challenged a God of Destruction."

Lore:

Beerus is the God of Destruction for Universe 7, whose duty is to destroy planets so new ones can be forged. After having a vision showcasing a being known as the "Super Saiyan God", he traveled to Earth, home of the few remaining Saiyans, to find this being that could rival his power. In travelling to Earth, Beerus met Goku and, in so doing, engaged in a duel of epic proportions with the promise that his victory would spell the end of Earth. Even after defeating Goku, however, he had spared the planet, for he had come to enjoy the cuisine and, whether he will admit it or not, had grown attached to the mortals of Planet Earth.

 Beerus  Beerus utlizes orbs for setplay like no other being.

Pros

Cons

• Air Normals: Decent air buttons, including a j.2H that's handy on offense and defense.
• Setplay: Stifling pressure with sphere(s) of destruction, especially at the corner.
• Orb Combos: High accumulation of damage by integrating cataclysmic orbs in combos.
• Reversal: God of Destruction's Wrath is a DP, in a game where meterless reversals are few and far between.

• Orbs: All his orbs, which are integral to his playstyle, are easily destroyed by universal mechanics and projectiles.
• Ground Normals: Unorthodox ground buttons with severe flaws. They either lack range (5L, 5H, 2H) or the hurtboxes come out before the hitboxes (5L, 5M, 2M).
• Meter Hog: Requires meter to gain access to his best moves, but is terrible at generating it.
• Inconsistency: Combos with orbs can become inconsistent depending on the opponent's height, as the amount of orbs that connect will change and could drop.

Beerus

Spheres of Destruction

Beerus can summon purple Ki Blast-property projectiles also called cataclysmic orbs onto the screen that explode when they collide with the opponent. The orbs don't interact with one another, but can be knocked around with normals and specials (excluding Vanish). When hitting an orb with any normal attack that's not 6M, 5S, j.S, Beerus can cancel it into specials or Supers, even if neither the orb nor the normal made contact with the opponent.

• Orbs slowly descend and will disappear if they touch the ground, after 300F (315F if they've been hit), if Beerus blocks, gets hit, tags out, triggers a cinematic with Dragon Rush or Supers
• Only 3 orbs can be on screen at the same time (except from 236S), spawning a new one will despawn the earliest one
• While traveling after being hit, orbs have bigger hitbox, higher damage (500 → 700), and will bounce against the ground and walls

Normal Moves

5L

5L Baby's first crossup.

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 5L Very short range. Sends Cataclysmic Orbs a short distance forward. Flicks the opponent, good for pressure. 5LL Cancel into 5M or 2M to keep the gatlings going. Sends Cataclysmic Orbs upwards. The clap of doom. Somewhat useful for up-close pressure, but the clap has ridiculous range and an equally ridiculous hitbox, making 5LL in neutral a great way to poke. 5LLL Beerus slides about half screen forward before attacking, crossing the opponent up if they are in range. Can be punished by a fast normal as Beerus is crossing over, so don't use this move predictably.

5M

5M Beerus is a Linkin Park fan confirmed	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Headbutt, good for pressure and can be jump-cancelled on hit. Sends Cataclysmic Orbs down and forwards, making them groundbounce. Due to the short dash before the hitbox comes out, hitting orbs with it can be awkward.

5H

5H "These are not the droids you're looking for."	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Considerably short range for a 5H. If used in the corner, it will push Beerus back a set distance. Sends Cataclysmic Orbs a long distance forward very quickly. Because you can special cancel into more orbs with this, 5H can be used to rapid fire orbs.

5S

5S	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Sends Cataclysmic Orbs a short distance up and forward. Whiffs against small characters.

2L

2L A ground normal that actually works	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Solid crouching normal, good for pressure with 5L.

2M

2M "Weeeeeeeee!"	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Slides about 3/4s of the screen VERY quickly. Can be used in conjunction with assists for cross under setups when the opponent air-techs. Tracks the opponent BEFORE attacking, meaning the hurtbox comes out long before the hitbox. Phenomenal combo tool, but suicide in neutral.

2H

2H Who cares about practicality when you have STYLE?	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Does a handstand for an anti-air. Moves forward an extremely tiny distance before going backwards. Short horizontal range. Hitbox does not extend behind him despite the animation. Keeps him on the ground which allows for better cancel options as well. Sends orbs a long distance up and forward.

2S

2S "ACHOO!"

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Beerus sneezes up a Cataclysmic Orb. Contrary to other orb summons, this one sends the orb floating up and forwards in a zigzagging manner. Can cancel into itself two additional times on whiff, creating three orbs. Hitting the orb will increase orb damage to 700 and increase size for just an instant. Can be useful during blockstrings, such as to bait Super Dash. Best to use Vanish to cancel the recovery if the enemy is about to throw out a beam. Can be used after 5H in a blockstring to safely leave an orb on the field for Beerus shenanigans.

6M

6M File:DBFZ Beerus 6M.png	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Universal standing overhead. Can start combos if you have an orb set near the opponent.

j.L

j.L	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Jumping downward jab. Sends orbs a short distance forward. Good as an air-to-air and jump-in.

j.M

j.M So graceful	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Upward kick. Sends orbs a medium distance up and forward. Decent air-to-air and combo filler.

j.H

j.H	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ 5LLLLLLL Smash hit can wall bounce. j.H Smash hit causes a sliding knockdown. Sends orbs a long distance down and forward. Downward kick, great for jump-ins and IAD pressure.

j.S

j.S	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Hold down the button to fire all 4 blasts. Can combo into j.214X in midscreen combos. In Sparking!, can cancel j.S (3 ki blasts) into airdash for more damage.

j.2H

j.2H FLY AWAY	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Dragon kicks through the sky. Great in the corner for knockdown into 214M. Decent getaway button to run from the opponent. Sends orbs flying forward and slightly upward. When canceled into j.236X, Beerus will keep his momentum and be sent forward fairly fast afterwards.

Special Moves

Cataclysmic Orb

Sphere of Destruction 236L/M/H (Air OK) H summons both Kicks orb after summon, hold button to not kick

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Cataclysmic Orbs are classified as weak projectiles, beaten by superdash and other projectiles. Hold the button down to bring out the orb(s) without the kick. Hitting orbs will increase their orb damage to 700 and also their size for an instant. Aerial versions make Beerus recover early when held, making him available to perform any air option. Aerial versions set up for decent oki after 214M, most potent at the corner. All orbs disappear upon blocking or taking damage. Not as useful outside the corner as simple projectiles handle orbs quickly, and beams outright destroy their setplay. 236[L] 236L Beerus summons an orb in front of him. The followup kick sends the opponent down if he's airborne. On block and at point-blank, there is a 1 frame gap between the orb and the kick. 236[M] 236M Beerus summons an orb above him. The followup kick wallbounces the opponent if near the corner. Used as a combo extender in the corner. One of the few attacks in the game that is plus on block. Beerus recovers midair after kicking the orb, allowing a high/low mix-up. Works best in the corner. 236[H] 236H Summons both the L and M orb, kicks both if not held. Hold up or down to kick only one of the orbs. Smash versions wallsplat. Down kick Smash groundbounces AND wallbounces. 236H[2] 236H[8] j.236[L] Opponent can airtech the followup kick if done too high in the air. j.236L j.236[M] j.236M Can set-up a resourceless snapback at the corner if smash hasn't been used yet. j.236[H] j.236H j.236H[2] j.236H[8]

God of Destruction's Rampage

God of Destruction's Rampage 214L/M/H (Air OK) "I'm not done yet~"

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ First hit ground bounces. Smash on the splash. Leaves Beerus airborne afterwards, allowing for any air option available. 214X's hitboxes do not match its visuals. Beerus needs to be next to his opponent for the move to connect. Ground L Air L Has some uses in corner combos. True blockstring from M and H normals; this allows Beerus to do a 50/50 high/low by airdashing afterwards. Best used with an assist to leave it gapless. Ground M Air M Smash hit ground bounces into SKD. Air version can be comboed after j.S(1) anywhere on screen. Allows SKD oki at the end of every combo. Ground H Tracks full-screen. Air H Smash hit big ground bounce into SKD. Aerial version is the same as 214M, but does not track full screen like 214H. Can be used as a surprise "in your face" due to its speed; on block, you can get a 50/50 high/low situation with an assist.

Spheres of Destruction

Spheres of Destruction 236S 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Despawns all current orbs and spawns 6 new ones. Every new orbs will despawn at most two of 236S, starting from the top row to the bottom. Best used on a cornered opponent to limit their options on wake-up. Very susceptible to beams otherwise.

God of Destruction's Wrath

God of Destruction's Wrath 214S (Air OK) "You startled me! Never startle a destroyer!"

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Ground Air Invincible during startup. Guard point during active. Can beat beams on reaction. Shoots 5 Ki blasts in front of Beerus and 5 behind him. Doesn't protect Beerus from throws and supers. Covers almost every position except directly above or underneath him. Damage and advantage vary with position. Among the fastest reversals in the game at 9 frame start-up, but has weaknesses due to losing to options a regular DP would not.

Z Assists

Assist A

Sphere of Destruction Assist A File:DBFZ Beerus AssistCataclysmicOrb.png "Are you ordering a god of destruction?"

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Very fast start-up. Uses 236L. First hitbox is a ki blast, second is a kick. Orb disappears as soon as Beerus leaves or gets hit. Mostly used to put opponents on block post-superdash on their way down, much like how DP assists are used but doesn't share the anti-air invulnerability they have. Best used this way as the opponent cannot guard cancel/reflect on their way down to the ground. This virtually makes the assist keep the opponent in significantly more blockstun than it actually has, because of it's 2 hits with their own individual blockstun. Not a good tool for neutral, as the orb can be easily bypassed.

Assist B

God of Destruction's Rampage Assist B I ' M N O T D O N E Y E T	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Causes ground bounce on hit. Blockstun is 27 frames if only the first hit connects, and 24 frames if only the second one does. A reliable combo filler for characters who need the ground bounce in their combo. Not particularly useful otherwise.

Assist C

God of Destruction's Wrath Assist C "I win neutral."	Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Much more range than the point version. Has invincibility after the teleport. Fills the entire screen, making it an incredible neutral tool. Arguably better than most C assists due to Beerus's indiscriminate and omnidirectional firing.

Super Moves

Beerus Ball

Beerus Ball 236L+M or 236H+S (Air OK) "You gave it your best shot." "'Bye-bye."

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Ground Air Minimum damage is 30*15, 360. In the air, use L+M to shoot straight forward or H+S to shoot downward. Always deals set amount of hits and damage. Follow-up can be activated before the 16th hit. Can set-up Goku's Super Spirit Bomb from anywhere. Beerus Ball of Destruction Beerus Ball > L/M/H/S Explodes the ball. Minimum damage: 800. In order to maximize damage, try to get as many hits as possible before activating.

God of Destruction's Judgment

God of Destruction's Judgment 214L+M or 214H+S "Now then..." "Don't get too cocky."

Template:AttackDataHeader-DBFZ Minimum damage: 1824. Beerus flicks the opponent with incredible force. Fundamentally similar to Trunks's Heat Dome Attack, being a command grab with very high damage, but also being very easy to avoid (can be evaded by jumping during the superflash). If done on Goku Black or Zamasu (Fused), he will try to use Hakai instead. Successful Hakai animation plays out if their health is at 1824 or lower, regardless if it's gonna kill or not. Failed Hakai pushes Beerus further out of the corner, but gives him with 3 whole extra frames of advantage (from +41 to +44). Note: Training Mode display will show Hakai doing an extra 50000 damage after they're downed, this doesn't affect any actual gameplay, as damage dealt during transitions aren't applied and doesn't give any extra meter.
