Ougon Musou Kyoku/Beatrice
Contents |
Introduction
The Golden Witch, and instigator of the Rokkenjima murders from October 1986. Beatrice serves as Battler's main enemy in Umineko no Naku Koro ni, and later on as his best ally. In Ougon Musou Kyoku, Beatrice fights primarily for the existence of her endless game, and to keep Ange away from Battler while she's at it.
Beatrice is an odd, yet versatile character. Her special moves seem catered towards a zoning playstyle, but her projectile game falls short compared to characters like Siesta410 and Virgilia. Beatrice's true advantage lies in her supers. With meter, Beatrice's combo ability, okizeme, and mixup potential all take a considerable leap, and makes her pressure a force to be reckoned with. Beatrice works well with a partner that rarely needs meter, such as Lucifer or Jessica.
Pros
+ Excellent SP moves.
+ Some of the best combo ability in the game (loops!) with meter.
+ Very versatile.
+ Great range on some of her normals.
+ Good okizeme (with meter).
+ Ridiculous pressure with her Meta-Super.
+ One of the only characters with a non SP invincible reversal.
Cons
- Possibly the most meter reliant character in the game, most combos rely on meter.
- Her Meta-Super has been nerfed in recent updates; summoning the towers no longer stops time.
- Best loops require corner to work.
Health - 1400.
Changes
Patch 2.10
- As of patch 2.10, Beato's 6B overhead is no longer cancellable unless you charge it up beforehand.
Ability
Infinity SP
For a short period of time, this will allow you to use a single SP super for no cost, one time.
Be careful, when triggering this ability through the meta world its duration is equal to that of your partner's ability making use of this ability impossible in certain combos and situations with certain partners. Most notably: Ronove and Eva Beatrice who both have extremely short duration abilities.
Eg. It is impossible to use a free SP Super after the opponent wakes up from Eva's Meta Super (used immediately after meta or not) because Berserk wears off before then.
This property is shared with Willard's SP Cancel.

Combos
Loops
3c > 623 SP
A simple loop that works anywhere. While it is not particularly damage efficient for the meter spent, it has good carry ability - able to push the opponent from corner to corner with 4-5 SP, and from midscreen to the corner for 3 SP. Can be initiated off any ground string ending in a sweep, even coming in off a partner's 2c. The keys are to connect 3c before the opponent hits the ground and to use the time between launch and descent to close distance as necessary.
Example: 5b > 2b > 5c > [ 3c > 623 SP ] x 5 > (corner) 5b > j.8a > j.8c: 3032 damage
5b (> 5c) > j.8a > j.8c > j.214 SP
Corner only, requires at least 1 additional SP to launch into it (via 623 or 214 SP). Heavy damage and stun, but the opponent is likely to dizzy and drop out of the loop. The key is to hit 5b when the opponent is as low to the ground as possible - it makes the loop easier without 5c, and is required if 5c is to be included. Can be transitioned into from a corner carry with the 6c > 623 SP loop.
Example: j.9c > 5b > 2b > 5c > 3c > 214 SP > [5b > j.8a > j.8c > j.214 SP] x 4 > 3c > 623b: 4427 damage
(j.9c >) 5b > 2b > 5c > 641236C Corner only, requires metaworld and towers set up. Can get in ~2 cycles with a full meta meter, but setup is unlikely without dizzy. While there is room to continue the combo after the second iteration, be wary that subsequent hits will be heavily prorated.
Example: [ j.9c > 5b > 2b > 5c > 641236C ] x2 : 2046 damage
As you've seen, 214 SP is an extremely powerful combo tool because of the immense level of damage it can dish out, in fact it can be insirted into your standard loop with only a little extra practice at near-corner range. If the 623 AB is going to corner to opponent or at least get them very near it, substitute 3C > 623AB for this:
(5C, 6C (Uncharged)) > J.9a > j.9b > j.214AB > 3C > 623AB .... This loop is also infinite as long as SP provides and the 214ABs cause a great deal more stun and damage than additional 623s. The damage from 214AB is absolutely enormous, but varies based on how high the opponent is against the wall when you hit them with J.9a, as more hits of 214AB will connect the lower they are. In fact, if you manage a perfect 214AB...
3C > 623AB > j.9a > j.9b > j.214AB > 3C > 623C - 15 Hits, 2119 Damage This should be your standard BNB in the corner, as it is still quite easy to land even with lag, use whatever leadin to the 3C you wish. This combo is simply hilarious damage for a measely 2SP, so always keep it in mind. The damage can be pushed to much, much higher if you choose to loop instead of finishing with the 623C. As a general rule, when finishing a combo, the aerial finisher is always higher damage than a simple 3C > 623C finisher.
For example, should you run out of SP after a 3C > 623AB, do not finish the combo with 3C > 623C, instead finish it with j.9a > j.9b > j.214a. For reference, 3C > 623AB > 3C > 623C deals 1005 damage whilst the aerial finisher deals 1188 damage. But beware, the aerial finisher does not knock down, so don't expect to perform any Oki like summoning towers or touching. If you run out of SP after a j.214AB, the 3C > 623C finisher isn't the only one you can do, but is recommended as alternate followups like 5C/6C (uncharged) > j.9a > j.9b > j.236a are all but impossible to pull off with lag, as the 5c/6c link is extremely strict and also do not knock down.
Tag Partners
Willard H Wright - SP Cancel allows Beato to effortlessly guardbreak during her meta, doing various cancels such as knockdown>Fire Ballistas>Run up, blockstring into 623C>SP cancel into Fire Ballistas>Guardbreak. In addition, Willard benefits greatly from Infinite SP, allowing him to do another 236AB or utilize 22AB for no meter.
