Revision as of 21:22, 14 December 2021
Avatar Belial consumes his own HP to unleash powerful skills. Time it right, and he'll take his opponents to the very limits of debauchery. On the other hand, his defenses are lacking, making him a feast-or-famine style pick.
- Comeback Factor: Avatar Belial's usage of his own health becomes a non-factor when he comes close to death. He gets all his strongest options with the benefits of low cooldowns and no downsides because hell, he's about to die anyway.
- Projectiles Galore: Avatar Belial can cover the screen with different types of projectiles, making approaching him difficult. He can also convert them into knockdowns with his Pact follow-ups.
- Momentum: Pact's Stomp always gives Avatar Belial a hard knockdown, letting him get his game started no matter what special move connected at the cost of some health.
- Forced Respect: Pact's Kick follow-up is invincible and converts into great damage on counter hit, allowing Avatar Belial to discourage mashing or approaching after his ranged options.
- Very Low Health With great power comes great responsibility! 9k HP starting out (lowest in the game) plus 500 health costs mean sometimes you will just lose if you make a mistake.
- No Meterless Reversal: Blind Devotion is strictly an anti-air attack and will lose consistently to well-timed meaty attacks.

Normal Moves
c.L
- +2 on block, excellent for pressure.
- Links into c.M on hit.
Belial's main pressure normal alongside 2L.
c.M
- Links into 2L and c.L on crouching hit.
- Links into c.H on counterhit.
c.H
- Two hits means counterhit links are limited.
- Avatar Belial's highest damage punish starter.
Auto Combo
Standard combo filler. Be careful with this on block as the last hit is punishable unlike other autocombos.
f.L
Belial's fastest button to stop people from running in on him. Always links out of 2L and c.L but should only really be used if no other options work. Also functions as a frame trap, but will trade with 5-frame normals if used after 2L.
f.M
Two-hit far medium. Unsafe on block unlike normal Belial's version of the move.
f.H
- Shorter than it looks.
Avatar Belial's longest range poke next to 2U. Always combos into 214L.
2L
- Only +1 on block, use c.L when possible.
Avatar Belial's version of a mid jab. Has some issues frame trapping due to being less plus than average, but it is a 5-frame crouching jab.
2M
- Knocks opponent down on hit.
Avatar Belial's fastest low at 7 frames. Does not combo into anything but special moves due to its knockdown properties and only consistently combos into 214L.
2H
- Avatar Belial's highest reward anti-air.
2U
- Hard knockdown on hit.
j.L
- Active until landing.
Hits entirely below and in front of Avatar Belial, making it a poor air-to-air option.
j.M
- Early active frames can cross up.
Avatar Belial's longest range air normal and the most useful if you don't know which side he'll land on.
j.H
- Avatar Belial's biggest jump-in.
j.U
- Sends Belial downwards at a 40° angle.
- Bounces off opponent on hit or block.
Avatar Belial's divekick.
Unique Action
Habakkuk
5U (Chargeable)
- Whiffs against crouching opponents.
- Charged version knocks down on hit.
The first of Avatar Belial's three projectiles. Stops opponents from counterzoning due to the beam having negligable travel time. Charging the beam can also catch Rolls during their recovery.
Pact
5U or 8U after Rejected Reality, Destructive Delusions, Carnal Passion, or Wings Bestowed followups
- Usable after any special move connects except for Blind Devotion.
- Costs 500 health upon use.
Avatar Belial's unique special move follow-ups. They both have different uses but complement his gameplan equally well.
- 5U Follow-Up
- Teleports in front of the opponent.
- Launches upwards.
- Invincible during startup and active frames.
While Belial can't get a combo from this follow-up normally, it links into f.M on counterhit. The invincibility allows him to call out mashing and force respect after his special moves, but the health cost also adds to the potential punish if it is blocked. Better to threaten with than to use in most cases.
- 8U Follow-Up
- Teleports above the opponent and stomps down.
- Forces a hard knockdown on hit.
Avatar Belial's other follow-up makes for an excellent combo ender. It will always give a hard knockdown on hit, allowing for consistent setplay.
Universal Mechanics
Ground Throw
- Same animation as Belial's.
Allows for a safejump with j.H anywhere on the screen.
Air Throw
Overhead Attack
Special Moves
Rejected Truth
236L/H or 5S + L/H
- GBVS Avatar Belial RejectedTruth.png
- Projectile travels until it hits the opponent, then turns into a three-hit projectile before de-spawning.
- L Version is unsafe at close range, safe at half max range, and plus at max range.
- H Version costs 500 health upon use.
Belial creates an earthquake that travels around half the screen's length. The H version has enough hitstun to start a combo and enough blockstun to be plus at close range.
Destructive Delusions
236M or 5S + M
- GBVS Avatar Belial DestructiveDelusions.png
Belial flings five Goetia projectiles in an arc. The bottom projectile does the most damage, followed by the second lowest, then the rest deal 100. Excellent complement to 236L/H as it covers a massive amount of air space.
Blind Devotion
623X or 6S
- GBVS Avatar Belial BlindDevotion.png
- L Version
- Air blockable and quite unsafe.
Pray this counterhits, otherwise it's gonna hurt Belial a lot.
- M Version
- First hit is air unblockable.
Pretty good last-minute anti-air, but generally outclassed in reward by his 2H.
- H Version
- Entirely air unblockable.
- Costs 500 health upon use.
High damage and air unblockable throughout make this Belial's most consistent anti-air. It does not come cheap though, as it costs health and is very unsafe on block.
Carnal Passion
214X or 4S
- GBVS Avatar Belial CarnalPassion.png
Belial's rekka series. The follow-ups are all the same and combo into Pact enders.
- L Starter
- Fast and combos from 2M.
Standard combo ender special. Provides a good enough knockdown, but really shines in its corner carry.
- M Starter
- Much larger range at the cost of speed.
- Low crushes.
While this version generally cannot be combo'd into without a counter hit, its extended range and low crush make it a better neutral tool. Avatar Belial can also catch people trying to punish it with Pact.
- H Starter
- Causes follow-up 2 to wallbounce.
- Costs ? health upon use.
Corner combo launcher. It's generally a better idea to use other specials first but Belial can still get basic knockdowns without this special using 623M or 623H.
Wings Bestowed
22X or 2S
- GBVS Avatar Belial WingsBestowed.png
- 22H cost 500 health
Belial begins to float in the air using his wings. His hurtbox is quite large during this move, making it risky to use. Belial can pick between four follow-ups while he floats.
Stolas
L during Wings Bestowed
- GBVS Avatar Belial 22XL.png
- Plus on block.
Only hits the area directly below Belial, limiting its use.
Beleth
M during Wings Bestowed
- GBVS Avatar Belial 22XM.png
- Plus on block.
Belial dives at a shallower angle downwards, allowing him to hit opponents farther away. Hits at about the same angle as his command grab from Wings Bestowed.
Barbatos
H during Wings Bestowed
- GBVS Avatar Belial 22XH.png
- Fast command grab.
Surprise option from Wings Bestowed. Does the most damage from the M version, but 2K from the others is nothing to sneeze at.
Habakkuk (Midair)
U during Wings Bestowed
- GBVS Avatar Belial 22XU.png.png
- Uncharged version has a small hitbox.
- Charged version sweeps the screen.
Avatar Belial's long-range option while in Wings Bestowed. Knocks down on hit and deals respectable damage.
Skybound Art
Diafthora
236236H or 236S+U (Air OK)
- GBVS Avatar Belial Diafthora.png
Minimum damage: Shortcut: ?, Technical: ?
Belial performs a rising attack, followed by a downwards lunge.
Super Skybound Art
Wild Sin
236236U or 236S+U
- GBVS Avatar Belial WildSin.png
Minimum damage: Shortcut: ?, Technical: ?
Belial's invincible command throw super. Can be combo'd into like a strike and turns into a projectile if the grab portion whiffs.
