52Beatup

Welcome to 52Beatup!

52Beatup is a Deck-Building, Fast-Paced (Like Really Fast-Paced), Fighting Game!

How 52Beatup Works

After every round, 3 cards will appear with certain buffs that each player can pick (The loser of the round, of course, goes first). These cards have varying effects, here's an example of some!

• 400% Damage if you land the first strike 
• Level up both of your Special moves, up to a maximum of 3 times!
• More Speed (Specifically Movement speed. Frame data will not change.)
• Lifesteal
• Faster, and Longer Dashes

Want to be a zoner with next to no speed, but as a tradeoff, you have more HP than a grappler? How about giving the Grappler a half-screen, unreactable mixup with incredibly high speed? With the right luck, any build is possible! 

What Defines 52Beatups Gameplay

52Beatup is a first to 5 or Best of 9 game. This is also why the game is incredibly fast-paced. Combos are high damage, very freeform, but very fast. Chip damage is very high. There's a Guard Meter that depletes VERY fast.

• 52Beatup does not have highs or lows, just Mids.  To compensate, every character has an instant 8-way airdash, and grabs can be used out of dashes, and can be used in combos.

• You start with ALL resources round start. To balance this, both of your special moves cost 1 bar of meter. You can do a LOT with meter, and have a lot of it, but its up to you to conserve it, because you will run out fast if you go willy nilly.

• This Game Relies on a good deal of RNG! The game has a built-in luck system to stop a player from obtaining an incredibly strong card early on and proceeding to steamroll. Additionally, cards that completely change matchups or data of characters aren't in place.

Here's the current Roster! 

CURRENT ROSTER

Alan

The Socially Inadept Martial Artist
Balance Type

Alan's got what you'd expect from the "Fighting Game Shoto" Trope:  Good Buttons, a Projectile, an Invincible Anti-air option, and a Parry. A great beginner character.

Haley

The Mechanical Powerhouse
Power Type 

With very similar moves and playstyles to other fire-wielding fighting game protagonists, Her kit involves strong pressure, fakeouts, and Damage so high you'd think that this game wasn't playtested beforehand. This comes at a cost, as her neutral can be pretty underwhelming.

Magnus

The Thundering Guitarist
Pressure Type  

Magnus relies on HEAVY pressure and damage, along with huuuuuuuge normals. He never learned what a "Mixup" was, but he doesnt really need to. He may be slow, but he can swing the hell out of his Guitar.

Vanessa

The Klutz of the Group
Zoning Type   

Vanessa relies on her multiple long normals that can be chained together, along with an Aggressive anti-air game. With a ton of very quirky movement options, Vanessa is great at keeping away and annoying everybody you fight against.
