How Do You Rate Beetlejuice? (Season 4)

Beetlejuice Moveset and Abilities

Ground Attacks

When fighting on platforms, most of Beetlejuice's moves can be charged, increasing the overall damage you inflict on enemies. Do note that this can leave him vulnerable to attacks so it might be good to choose when to gauge the situation first before using fully charged attacks

Aerial Attacks

Many of Beetlejuice's aerial moves let him maneuver around the area while attacking, making him very efficient at dealing damage. Attacks like Flyin' Hammer Slammer and Sometimes I Scare Myself can be used to attempt ringing out opponents.

Passive Abilities

Passive	Effect
Knock 'Em Dead	Allies that pass by will be given boxing gloves. While they have these gloves their attacks will say your name. If they hit the same target 3 times then you can summon yourself to the target with your Neutral Special attacks.

While this passive only works when playing with an ally, this can improve Beetlejuice's already decent movement around the stage as you can instantly appear towards a specific enemy. This is also great in teamplay as your team can focus on an opposing team's weaker player and aim to ring them out constantly.

Beetlejuice Best Perks and Signature Perks

Signature Perks

Perk and Rating	Description	Explanation
★★★★★ Frightening	Your Neutral Special now stuns opponent instead of knocking away based on charge.	Instead of knocking away an enemy, this stuns them in place instead. This allows you or your ally to deal an easy hit on the affected opponent.
★★★★☆ Big Bomb	The chalk bomb will be larger the farther you are from it when lit.	This perk changes how big the explosion of the bomb it depending on your distance from it. While enemies can simply stay away from the bomb, this forces them to move away and stay in certain areas in combat.
★★★☆☆ Angry Bugs	Your Beetle will stay out after kicked. It will chase after any opponent that takes a hit close to them. Trying to summon another Beetle will make the one already out explode. You no longer have the option for a second dash with air up special.	While this gives you additional damage when landing attacks on opponents, this perk is hard to recommend since the second dash in your air up special can provide much more utility in combat.

Universal Perks

Team Perk

Perk and Rating	Description	Explanation
★★★★★ Protective Momentum	Your team gains a projectile shield after running on the ground in the same direction for at least 0.5 seconds. If your teammate also selects this perk, the projectile shield activates faster.	This perk gives Beetlejuice more protection when approaching enemies, especially when fighting opponents that have multiple projectile attacks.

Strong Perk

Perk and Rating	Description	Explanation
★★★★☆ Last Stand	While you have at least 100 damage, knocking back enemies applies weakened.	This works well with Beetlejuice's moveset as he has plenty of moves that can knock back opponents, providing you with various ways to ring out enemies even when you have accumulated high damage.
★★★☆☆ Speed Force Assist	You receive 5% increased base movement speed	This lets Beetlejuice move around the area quicker, allowing him to use his more mobile attacks on hitting enemies.

Standard Perk

Perk and Rating	Description	Explanation
★★★★★ Pugilist	Your melee attacks deal increased damage.	Since almost all of Beetlejuice's attacks are melee, this perk increases his entire damage output.

Beetlejuice Best Combos and Moves

Side Attack to Aerial Combo

Side Attack x2 ► Up + Neutral ► Air Side + Neutral

This is a quick series of moves that lets you start an aerial combo and ends in knocking your opponent away to the side. You can use this as a starting point for aerial combos or use this to keep force opponents off the platform.

Air Down Attack to Air Up Attack

Air Down + Neutral ► Up + Neutral ► Air Up + Neutral

This another combo that lets you launch opponents in the air only this time, you it focuses on ringing out opponents to the top of the screen. When an opponent has accumulated lots of damage, you can follow up with an Air Up + Special to secure the ring out.

No Bones About It

This move launches an opponent in a diagonal angle that can be chained with other air combos. This can also be used defensively as you can use it on opponents trying to approach you, allowing you to zone them away and prevent any quick attacks.

Get A Load'A This

This is a great move when used in aerial combat as you can easily ring out enemies even at lower damage. When you have a Beetle following you, this provides you with an additional swing in a new direction that can take opponents by surprise.

How to Play Beetlejuice

Play Close to Enemies

While Beetlejuice has projectile attacks, these are short ranged projectiles that require you to be close to opponents. Be sure to play close to your enemies just enough to hit your attacks while maintaining a short distance to dodge since Beetlejuice doesn't have a reliable dash.

Charge Your Attacks

Most of Beetlejuice's normal attacks can be charged which significantly increase your damage output. You can charge attacks when at a significant distance from your opponents and getting close when you find a good moment to attack.
