Welcome young pupil. As you may know, Beef City is a dangerous place to dwell. It is a grand but imposing city where the streets are paved with the body parts of fallen beasts who once lived in hope of making it. If you want to live, take heed to my instructions. I spent many decades under the tutorship of ambassador Beefalo and I was his greatest disciple until the day evil rose up in his heart. My skills and advancement became an object of envy for him and he tried to assassinate me. I had no choice but to preserve my life and so I took his. In a moment of aversion, I struck him fatally, sending him plummeting 500 feet down below. Henceforth, I became overseer of Beef City and I took up residence in an undisclosed location.

In Beef City, all manner of life flows from a thing called 'input'. It is the singular source of anything that moves. Grasp this precept properly.

In this section I will teach you about the science and mechanics behind various taunts and survival maneuvers. You can watch the Master Guide Video for convenience of reference. Buttons in the same parenthesis signify they must be pressed simultaneously.


Backslide/Frontslide
Hold (X)/(B) while moving in any direction.


Leap of Faith
Press (A),(B) and hold (LB,RB) while running in any direction.
The leap of faith is a crucial maneuver that all beasts should practice early on. In order to leap successfully, one must fully commit and jump while running. It will give you that extra momentum needed to get you across platforms and wide gaps. It takes practice but do not lose hope, every beast falls the first time.


The Backward Orangutan
Hold (X,A,B) then move in any direction.
This is a powerful taunt that will affect your enemies on a profound psychological level, they will go apesh*t.


Chin-up Chump
While holding on to a vertical surface, hold (A) then alternately press and hold (LB,RB)
Take note that some surfaces will not allow you to perform this action.


The Nutty Gymnast
While holding on to a surface, hold (A,B) and move in any direction. Alternately hold and release (A,B) while moving in the appropriate direction to swing.
In order to be wise, one must first become a fool. Do not underestimate the nutty gymnast, this move will develop your handstand and swaying skills. Both skills are of great importance to get you out of dangerous situations.


Reverse Slinky
While holding on to an elevated surface, upside down, alternately hold and release (LB),(RB) while moving left or right.


The Squirrelly Climb
While holding on to a vertical surface, spam (A).
Take note that some surfaces will not allow you to perform this action.


Flippin' Out
Grab on to the edge and alternately hold and release (A,B) while moving in the appropriate direction. The intent is to become a lure so the enemy comes at you. When in proximity you can grab them with one hand and pull them down bellow. It is an incredibly effective move to use against kamikazes and suiciders.


Going Back Up
While holding on with one arm, use a mixture of the handstand and swaying technique to loop and pull your upper body up. Hold and release (A,B) while moving in the appropriate direction to lift yourself up. You must build a swinging momentum to get back up. Remember that the center of mass is found in the feet. It matters not if half your body is off the edge. If your feet is upon it you will land it.


Breaking The Ice
Hold (B) to duck and firmly grasp the ice by holding (LB) while tapping (RB) until the ice breaks apart. If timed right, your oponents will fall right through the cracks. You can also break ice by performing The Fappy Flap manoeuver.


F'ice Lift
While holding on to the icy surface, hold (Y).
This action cannot be completed with one's head in the clouds. Ensure that both feet are aligned with the ground before attemping to lift any frosty blocks.


The Fappy Flap
Grasp at any surface and hold (X,A) while moving in the appropriate fapping direction.
Unfortunately, this move is pointless in battle due to our lack of genitalia.


Out Of The Grind
This technique must be experimented with. Getting out of the grinder is not an exact science. Using a combination of handstands and the squirrelly climb is key.


Backflip
Hold (X) for half a second and press (A).


The Eluding Antilope
Hold (A,Y) and move in a erratic style.


The Spin Doctor
Hold (Y) while moving in a circular motion.


Conehead Fred
Throwing cones in your enemy's pitfall is like leaving banana peels on a narrow plank. This tactic will assuredly cause their downfall.


The Subway Ride
Jump on the train and hold (LB,RB)
What is the purpose of this you ask? I know not...


The Finagling Phasmid
This exploit is your secret weapon against kamikazes. The intent is to lure your enemy in and then swipe the floor from under their feet. Remember to always remain gripped with at least one hand.


The Hasty Weasel
As soon as the match start, hold (A,Y,LB,RB) to quickly grab and throw an oponent out of the confines of safety.


The Blimp Tilt
Hold on to a stabilizer and hold (X,Y) while moving in the appropriate direction.
It is the equivalent of precipitating your adversaries into a nose dive.


Come Sail Away
Hold on to a block of ice and hold (X,A) while moving in any direction.


Everyday I'm Shufflin'
Alternately press (LB,X),(RB,X)
It is believed that in an alternate reality, sentient beings move their soul case in a rhythmic style in aspiration to mingle and release bodily fluids.


Hat-trick
Grab onto any hat and hold (X,A) while moving in any direction.


Got Moves?
Tap (Y), don't be shy.


The Grass-hopper
While running press and hold (A), then hold (B,LB,RB).
This is the quickest way to get off the rails. One must perform this action with a clear mind, for the grasshopper knows not why it goes, nor where.


The Mad Hatter
Grab onto any hat and hold (X,Y,B)


The Body Dropper
Grab on to your foe and hold (A), move in the appropriate direction and press (Y) to lift and release all inputs. A flawless timing will cause your enemies to drop like a bad habit.
