Overview

Former primarch of cunning with a manipulative streak lasting millenia. Belial is a DLC character available in Season Pass 2, whose play-style is to trick his opponents with deceptive attacks such as his Unique counter move and command grab, constantly forcing his opponent into a guessing game. Although he has options both at range or up-close, his mid-range game can be underwhelming due to most other characters having tools that out-range his normal attacks. Unpredictability is key to succeeding as Belial.

"Come to papa."
Lore:	Belial is a fallen angel—and one of the first primal beasts ever brought into being. He is the manifestation of cunning, earning him the sobriquet "Serpent." He plays dirty and is irreverent, and his mind swims in the gutter. The only man he respects is his own creator, Lucilius, to whom he has given the pet name "Cilius." But recently, the Singularities Gran and Djeeta have managed to catch Belial's eye. Toying with them gives him a visceral thrill. He loves nothing more than to sow chaos with Exia, then watch Gran or Djeeta struggle to restore order.
Voice:	English: Matthew David Rudd/Japanese: Yoshimasa Hosoya

Belial Belial is a versatile pressure-based character who tricks the opponent with ambiguous special attacks.

Pros

Cons

Ambiguous Pressure: Many special attacks has ambiguous startup animation or delayed active frames, great for messing with opponent's decision-making. Excellent at controlling the pace of the match.
Great Fireball: Goetia and its follow-ups keep rushing opponents in check.
Great Whiff Punishes: With possibly one of the best backdashes in the game and his great f.H, being able to force whiffs and punish accordingly is very feasible to do.

Mediocre Normal Range: While their frame data is quite good, his normals can be challenged by more specialized characters, requiring him to play somewhat unorthodox in the midrange.
No Low-hitting 2L: His fastest low normal is 2M at 7f.

Belial walks forward with his arms spread wide, and if he is attacked by anything other than a throw he will counterattack. The counterattack will track the opponent. Belial is in counterhit state if he gets hit between frame 1~3 but the recovery he is not in counterhit state. As well this move can be blocked or spot dodged in certain situations after the counter animation has triggered

L
M
H

Goetia followup which transforms the projectile into a spinning scythe that hits multiple times. The scythe takes a (very short) moment to spin up after transforming, during which the projectile does not have a hitbox. L followup causes the scythe to move forward, M followup causes the scythe to move backward, and H followup causes the scythe to decelerate and eventually spin in place.

In addition to the universal forward/backwards/stop commands, the L and M followups cause the scythe to move vertically up or down depending on which version of Goetia was initially used. For example, the forward moving L Goetia cancelled into L followup will cause the scythe to move up as well as forwards, while M Goetia into L followup will cause the scythe to move down as well as forwards. The specifics are as follows:

The L and M followups to L and H Goetia cause the projectile to move forwards & up and backwards & up respectively
The L and M followups to M Goetia cause the projectile to move forwards & down and backwards & down respectively
The H followups to all versions of Goetia do not affect the scythe's vertical positioning

The L and H followups push the opponent slightly on hit and block, while the M followup vacuums opponents towards Belial. The L and M followups hit 3 times, while the H followup hits 5 times.
