Introduction

A rough swordsman wielding a large black zweihander blade, as well as a spiked mace on a chain he can swing from his other arm. As Goat's nightmares about his family's death continues to increase and get worse, he fears and realizes that the growing stress and pressure of the nightmares themselves will drive him into a state of pure insanity. Goat resolves to eliminate this problem once and for all and sets his own sight on the mystery of the lost continent.

Goat is a tanky character with some big swings. One of his special features is that all of his heavy normals knockdown his opponent.

Pros	Cons
High damage Has a lot of attacks that knockdown long pokes	no projectile Huge recovery in many attacks makes him very punishable Lack of DP very slow speed

EX version

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Block
-	-	-	-	M	special	-	-
Goat runs forward with his sword out. Lots of start-up and recovery time. Can only be combo from the overhead punch. distance and number of hits depends on the button EX version travels a very long distance, with super armour. Does up to 14 hits. Will do more damage than with C from far away, but up close it's almost the same. A bit less start-up time though.

Supers

Bastard's Cradle

'YOU PRESSING BUTTONS??'

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Block
-	-	-	-	M	special	-	-
Goat rushes forward on his opponent. If he hits he will start a series of swings which result in a 18-hits autocombo. If the first hit misses or is blocked, Goat won't follow through with the rest of the move. This move is long to come out and can be combo only from his overhead punch.

Iron Rage
214214A/B/C

a bit overkill to punish a jumpin, but it does the job

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard	Cancel	Adv. Hit	Adv. Block
-	-	-	-	M	special	-	-
Goat gets his dragon punch from Asura Blade back. He will leap into the air with his sword pointed up. More easy to use in combo than his first super. It can be use from a medium attack. This super does less damage than Bastard's Cradle and hits up to 9 times. You can use it in a air combo but the angle can be hard to find.

Boost mode (22+ABC)

This boost mode has a very good name cause it does exactly what it's suggests. During Hyper Body, all Goat's attacks (normals and specials) will have super armour. Goat is now a super tanky character with no fear of counter hit. Some of his attacks profit of little changes.

• Standing C, Jumping C and Overhead Punch do more damage.
• Last hit of C Phantom Crash is now a vertical launcher. But because of the pushback of the attack it's very hard to combo from it unless you're very close of the opponent.
• Last hit of C Buster Horn in a launcher. The last hit is now very rewarding. But because the pushback of the 2-3 last hits of the attack is huge, the last hit can be hard to land on the opponent.
