Belgium (French: Belgique, Dutch: België) is a character in Head Soccer, who was added in Update 3.0 with Pluto. He is a five star opponent in Arcade and the 46th Character in the game. Belgium is a rock star with blonde hair, and he wears headphones which can get knocked off, similar to Netherlands' shades. Belgium has 3 Power Shots: a Ground Shot, an Air Shot, and a Counter Attack.

Appearance

Belgium has long gold hair to his chin, gold eyebrows, clenched blue eyes, an average nose and an overall determined and angry expression. His appearance might be based on 'Souichi Negishi' main protagonist of the anime/manga 'Detroit Metal City, His Power Button Effect reaffirms this even more, as he now has similar face paint to Souichi.

Power Shot and Button Effect

Music Notes Shot

When he activates power button, he gets a white hat, some musical notes surround him, which damage the opponent. He also gets white makeup with a black star on one of his eyes.

Air Shot: Music Notes Shot

Stage Guitar Shot

If Belgium uses his Power Shot in the air, the stage appears again and he gives another rock concert. This time, several music notes come out of the speaker, all of them going towards his opponent's goal. Among them are three red music notes which contain the ball. If the opponent touches a red note, he will be stunned/ knocked unconscious and unable to move, and if they touch the second one, he will transform into a dancing hippie girl/ cheerleader. It lasts for 4 seconds.

Ground Shot: Stage Guitar Shot

Guitar Shot

When Belgium uses his Power Shot on the ground, a stage will appear, in which Belgium plays rock music with his guitar and two massive speakers. Then, Belgium says "C'mon!" and swings his guitar, throwing it at the opponent in a straight line, and by doing this, he throws the ball which is in the guitar towards the opponent, pretty low over the ground. The guitar, when thrown, is also engulfed in a blue aura similar to the powershot of South Korea. This Power Shot last for 2-3 seconds.

Counter Attack: Guitar Shot

If Belgium counters a Power Shot, he plays rock music on his guitar again, but this time without the stage. He then throws the ball at his opponent, again, by swinging his whole guitar forward, which spins and rotates in the air, before hitting or coming into contact with the opponent. If the opponent touches the guitar, he will explode. This Counter Attack lasts for2' seconds.

Costume: Gatling Gun Costume

Belgium wears an SS Rank costume, the Gatling Gun Costume. This is a cannon which fires bullets at the opponent all the time, pushing them back and even capable of knocking out the opponent if he/she gets hit by a lot of bullets. This costume is good for Fight Mode, as each of the bullets deal 2 damage to the opponent.

History

Version	july 9, 2014
3.0	Added Belgium along with Pluto.

Tips & Tricks

• You can easily turn Belgium's Air Shot into an own goal for him. In order to do this, you have to stay in the middle of the field and jump to the first red music note. If you do this correctly, you will touch the other two red notes automatically. The ball will fall behind Belgium and he will always dash it into his own goal, or the ball will roll in itself.
• Go through Belgium's stadium while he is doing his air shot and have your Power Button Effect on you. And jump there and you will use your power shot and score a goal!

Glitches

• When the first note misses the goal, the second one goes in and the third one hits the opponent, the opponent's power shot will be wasted, because the second note doesn't seem to have a ball.
• If you quickly press Pause and Resume several times while Belgium uses his air shot, the first (and sometimes also the second) note will miss the goal.
• If you pause while you are dancing after getting hit by Belgium's air shot and wait for a few seconds, the dancing player will disappear, and when you resume the game, the player is back to normal.
