Beatdown

Beatdown is one of the skill moves useable to Sonic the Werehog that appears in the PlayStation 2/Nintendo Wii version of Sonic Unleashed. It is unlocked after the player has collected 12500 Dark Gaia Force Orbs. The player can use this move at the beginning or during an attack combo.

Description
When using this move, Sonic will grab a nearby foe, notably the minions of Dark Gaia, then Sonic will slam the foe on the ground five times before jumping and crushing the foe for the final hit. Nearby foes will be damaged by the wave of this move, as well.

Depending on the console the player is playing Sonic Unleashed on depends on the controls to activate the Beatdown attack.
 * On the Nintendo Wii, grab the foe with the WiiB.png button and then swing both the Wii Remote and the Nunchuck simultaneously to activate the Beatdown ability.
 * On the PlayStation 2 version, grab the foe with the PSSquareButton.png button and then press the PSObutton.png/PSSquareButton.png/PSTriangleButton.png button(s) to activate the Beatdown ability.

Trivia

 * The Beatdown move cannot be used while in Unleashed Mode, as using the same controls for the Beatdown move while in Unleashed Mode will instead trigger the Were-Rush.
