Raven

Raven is clearly (from the trailers of the game) the original intended main character of Beatdown: Fists Of Vengeance. With his fast and clearly broken moves, he is a good choice for those starting out in the game. Fighting with Raven doesn't take a specific strategy or mindset, although he does have his unecessary strategical advantages over other players. His storyline is also generic in the fact that he doesn't have too many in game cut-scenes that differ from other characters. In short he is the typical character for beginners, and a good all around fighter.

Strategy
Raven players are a force to be reckoned with, Raven's combos and strategies are incredibly easy to master and quite overpowered. When it comes to defense and offense, Raven has very few openings in his attack animations. Most Raven player's attack patterns will be random and you will most likely not make it through unscathed.

Offensive
GOOD OFFENSIVE MOVES

Bio
Raven is a city boy raised on the streets, by the streets. Fighting is in his blood, and it is his only means of survival. While still a scrapping young lad, he was scouted and entered into illegal underground fighting competitions. He was noticed for his ability, and he wound up in the corrupt world of the Zanetti Family...the mob.

Trivia
Due to mixed reviews of Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance, it is unlikely for Raven or any of the other protagonists to appear in any future Capcom titles like Marvel vs Capcom 4, Street Fighter V and CvS3.
