Dean Stag/Disaster Club

The son of Sam Stag, Dean rebelled against his destiny as the guardian of the next Ringmaster. Viewing Disaster Club as a hive of scum and villainy, Dean joined Beautyface, who promised to let him escape the role of protector, even if it means fighting his father.
==Playstyle==
Difficulty: Easy
Health: 1400
Playstyle: Zoner
Dean is a simple zoner, having a variety of projectiles to keep his opponents at bay. This makes him easy to pick up and play, seeing he can just spam projectiles all day. However, he is not great up close due to his lacklustre normals and lack of combo options, meaning Dean players have to keep moving and hope they don’t have to fight directly.
Dean’s Throttles are more dependent on the enemy’s playstyle than anything else. Throttle 1 can handle more offensive playstyles where Charge In is a massive threat, while Throttle 2 better handles defensive playstyles.
==Special Moves==
Bolded moves were added in Complete.
Move Name 	Input 	Type 	Description
Slice Beam 	+File:DC 1 button.PNG/File:DC 2 button.PNG/File:DC 3 button.PNG 	Command Normal 	Dean creates a short beam of energy and swings it like a lightsaber. File:DC 1 button.PNG hits low, File:DC 2 button.PNG hits mid and File:DC 3 button.PNG hits high. Better range than his other normals.
Bolt Beam 	File:IMG 0408.PNG+File:DC 1 button.PNG 	Special 	Dean fires a laser beam from his hand. Can be angled downwards in the air by pressing File:DC Down.PNG. Generic projectile and Dean’s primary tool for zoning.
Tribolt 	File:IMG 0408.PNG+File:DC 2 button.PNG 	Special 	Dean fires 3 rapid blasts of energy one after the other. Can be angled downwards in the air by pressing File:DC Down.PNG. Less damage than Bolt Beam, but the increased number of projectiles can keep the opponent blocking longer or even result in them getting hit by the second two after blocking the first.
Air Cutter Beam 	File:IMG 0408.PNG+File:DC 3 button.PNG on the ground 	Special 	Dean fires a laser beam from his hand before slicing upwards, acting as an anti-air move. Shorter range than his other projectiles but made up for by the large area and being Dean’s only real anti-air.
Ground Cutter Beam	File:IMG 0408.PNG+File:DC 3 button.PNG in the air. 	Special 	Dean fires a laser beam that cuts along the ground, acting as the Air Cutter Beam’s direct opposite.
Pulse 	File:IMG 0408.PNG+File:DC 4 button.PNG 	Special 	Dean releases a pulse of energy surrounding him, hitting anything in an extremely small radius. Knocks the opponent away from Dean, even on block, making it essentially Dean’s panic button for when the opponent is too close. OK in air.
Charge Beam 	File:DC QCB.PNG+File:DC 1 button.PNG (hold) 	Special 	Dean charges up an energy beam before firing. The longer the charge time, the stronger the beam.
Hyper Beam 	File:DC HCF.PNG+File:DC 1 button.PNG+File:DC 2 button.PNG 	Super 	Dean fires a massive screen-covering laser beam. OK in air.
Laser Rain. 	File:DC HCF.PNG+File:DC 3 button.PNG+File:DC 4 button.PNG 	Super 	Dean fires a large number of lasers into the air that flies down on his position a few seconds later. Dean can move freely during the move after firing the lasers, letting him continue his pressure. OK in air.
Hunter Beam. 	File:DC 1 button.PNG+File:DC 2 button.PNG+File:DC 3 button.PNG+File:DC 4 button.PNG	Finishing Strike	Dean grabs the opponent and throws them into the air. He then fires a massive laser beam at them that carries them into space, before curving round and pushing the opponent back into the ground in front of Dean.
==Throttles==
Throttle 1: Lasers are faster but deal less damage.
Throttle 2: Increases laser chip damage.

==Arcade Mode==
===Good Ending===
Dean fights Sam Stag as the final boss.
“I didn’t want to kill my father: I merely wanted to teach him a lesson. Beautyface didn’t understand that, so I stopped her before her rampage could continue. After defeating my father, I left this life behind. By hitchhiking and calling in favours, I made my way to Chun-Nan. I don’t know what it is, but I feel I may have a purpose there…”
===Bad Ending===
Dean fights Beautyface as the final boss.
“I tried to tell Beautyface that I didn’t want to kill my father, but she wouldn’t take no for an answer. I disintegrated her with a laser beam before running from Thundereye and the bandits that followed him. I’m now on the run from both the Lightning Gang and Disaster Club. I need a friend to help me...and I may have an idea where to find one.”
