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.

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.”
