Beast

Beast, known in Japan as Lion Battle Roar (獅子戦吼, "Shishisenkō"), is currently 's forward smash in Super Smash Flash 2.

History in the Demos
Beast replaced Sonic Thrust in v0.5a of the SSF2 Demo as his side special move only to be replaced by Sonic Thrust again in v0.6 of the SSF2 Demo. Lloyd slashes with his sword and a head of a beast attacks the enemy. It is chargeable and can cause great damage once fully charged. However, its range is short and is less likely to hit the enemy than Lloyd's previous side special move, Sonic Thrust. In v0.6, it was changed to be Lloyd's side smash. It has stayed this way since.
