Battle Dudes' antagonist Jin seeks to end humanity with his otherworldly abilities. With high damage attacks, complete control over his flames, and very swift movement, he stands unchallenged by those who dare oppose him.

Meet Bill, a dangerous assassin for hire who stops at nothing to ensure his target remains six feet under. He is usually quick, snappy and efficient, but his EX variant is slow, methodical and damaging.

New #BattleDudes build drops November 14th!

Here's a match between testcat and his EX counterpart. Both being wonky characters, they'll use their oddball movement and tools to win. Are testcat's setplay fireballs going to give him enough momentum, or are EX testcat's flight shenanigans too much?

Basic Type testcat's damage certainly rises above the other characters.

Neat little advertisement image. Don't know where to use it, but maybe as a quick way of showing off some surface-level features? Probably gonna pair it with a new trailer too.

Here are all the current Challenge games in Battle Dudes! There are 5 of them, and they are played either in Arcade Mode as a way to rack up points, or in the Challenge Mode section, where you can attain a high score. Any suggestions for more?

testcat in action! The moveset of testcat is fairly varied; it can fit many styles, particularly a set-play one with the Awesome hairball special and Marvelous command grab special. His cr.HP hurts, and his counter hit combos can leave you in the dust!

Some features not shown:
- Record/Replay (You can have up to 3 slots)
- Reset Players (Done by using LP+Tag/Assist). Tag puts player 1 on the left, and assist puts player 1 on the right.

Here is a showcase of all the training options in Battle Dudes' robust training mode. There is a lot, but better to have too much rather than too little!

Do you think some training options/features are missing? If so, let us know!

This will be the first of two new characters to be added to the next beta build of Battle Dudes. Stay tuned as more information about testcat and the second character come out in due time! (development has been slow but fruitful)

Introducing a new character to the Battle Dudes Battlefield... testcat! An unknown creature with knowledge from another land, stumbling his way into Battle Dudes. He will have to use his (lack of) brain cells to find his way back, and maybe beat people up along the way.

They don't quite get along well... Who will win? K2's all-around technical power, or Star's offensively great but defensively lacking power? Or is the creator just bad at his own characters?

You can fight in more ways than fists here. Battle Dudes features several fun and familiar brain games that can make the overall game experience more fun. A beta with new minigames and challenge modes will be out soon... And new characters, perhaps.

Here are EX Kan's combo trials! Being a character that has many target combos and attack sequences, his combos might seem easy, but the number of sequences to memorize and execute might be tricky. Good luck!

Here are EX K2's combo trials! The assist mechanic he gets allows for some long, precise, and cool-looking links, but beware of some more complex inputs needed to complete these trials. Good luck!

Here are EX Star's combo trials! She is flashy, with aerial routes and juggles that other characters do not have, as they are on the more traditional side. Good luck!

Here are EX Oboe's combo trials! While most of his dangerous combos are corner only, his fireball game alone provides him with extremely variable but difficult links. Good luck!

Here are EX Y's Combo Trials! EX Y has a little but more going for him in terms of combos compared to his normal counterpart, but that also comes with the added difficulty of several tricky links and juggles. Good luck!

It has now been a little over 3 weeks since the public build has been published, how are you feeling about Battle Dudes so far?

Here is a quick video showing Battle Dudes' EX characters, what to know about them, and most importantly, how to select them.
