About Gigaman
Gigaman, the former symbol of hope for humanity’s stand against the growing cases of Kaiju invasions. After a long hiatus, the world calls for this steadfast hero to return once again, bringing along a bit of… extra weight from his early retirement.
Gigaman’s flashy abilities derived from his extravagant personality. Even though he gained some weight since his last appearance, he still retains most of his agility, allowing him to pull off the many acrobatic skills he developed in his prime. These include cartwheels, flying kicks, dive kicks, somersaults, and tornado kicks. As a veteran in kaiju fighting, he has learned to control his powers to avoid collateral damage, making him deal reduced damage to the buildings around him. Although this may be seen as his weakness, his heroic nature allows him to tap into the power of the ‘Titan Spirit’ living within him. This unlocks his ability to use Giga Energy-based attacks such as his iconic Giga Beam and many more. Return him to his prime by transforming to his S-class form and watch the monsters turn to fear as the forgotten hero makes his comeback.
Gigaman is ideal for players looking for a high mobility type, fast-paced, combo-oriented character. His core mechanics require mastery in spacing and precise timing in each attack. In the right hands, Gigaman can overwhelm his foes in an unending string of air juggles and combos, perfect for players who prefer to beat their opponents with style points.
GigaBash is in development for PlayStation 4 and PC.
