Cycloid Beta (サイクロイドβ Saikuroido β?) is one of the Cycloids, a pair of character composites from the Street Fighter EX series.

Biography

Appearance

The Cycloids consist of Cycloid-β (a.k.a. Cycloid Beta), who is a blue 3D-model of a human male with no facial features, and Cycloid-γ (a.k.a. Cycloid Gamma), who looks similar to Beta, only Gamma's a wireframe model. Both use attacks borrowed from other characters and don't speak. Their origins are unknown. Amusingly, its body shines and still does so even when the game is paused.

Story

Cycloid-β is a mysterious weapon that was found by Cycloid-γ during one of its escapades. Its origin is unknown, but Beta shares many similarities with Gamma, including having a mixture of fighting techniques and occassionaly running away from Shadaloo.[1]

Gameplay

Cycloid-β borrows the following Unique Attacks, Special Attacks and Super Combos (although they are renamed Beta (move name), for example, Beta Shoot Upper for Shoot Upper):

  • It also borrows Allen's stance, Kairi's win poses, Kairi's Punch throw, Blair's Kick throw and Skullomania's Guard Break.

Its attacks are performed via "rolling" motions (such as Quarter-circle forward + Punch).

Beta reappears in Street Fighter EX2 Plus as the dummy in the Excel Break bonus stage, where it has to be defeated by using Excel combos. If the player fails the bonus stage, Beta will briefly imitate the player character's victory pose. It can also appear running in the background where the high score table is shown, if the player holds start when choosing the random select option and clears the game achieving the highest score.
