There are big changes being tested in the Skullgirls Beta, which will eventually make their way onto a final patch, and eventually on a physical disc release of Skullgirls. The finality of these changes means that developer Lab Zero has to be extra careful with new changes, to ensure they don’t break the game.
Speaking of breaking the game, the latest character to be effected on a large scale is Beowulf, who is receiving a massive update to his signature hype feature. You can read up on Beowulf’s changes here. Essentially, Beowulf will now be allowed to spend accumulated levels of hype on special EX versions of certain moves, allowing him more versatility and combo potential. He received a damage nerf to compensate, but it became very clear very quickly that further tuning is needed. Check below for a sample of what Beowulf will be getting.
Do note that this key change to Beowulf is still in beta, and the damage is likely going to change in the next patch. The EX finishers are staying in some form, but this damage isn’t.
There is also this other video, which plays around with the changes to see what else he’s capable of.
