Any Eternal Champions fans out there?

[Melf]

I recently went back and gave the Sega CD game some game time for a review I was writing, and the more I played, the more I began to really appreciate the series as a whole. Very complex and deep, with some great and bloody finishes! R.A.X. is dam man!

Any fans?

BTW: If anyone's interested, I'm having a salute to the series on my site that includes:

- Reviews for the Genesis and Sega CD games.
- An article as to what happened to the franchise (and that lost third chapter).
- An image gallery.
- And best of all, an interview with series creator Mike Latham!

Just click my sig and have some fun.

I play the Sega CD version from time to time. Flippin' hard, but a lot of fun.

I have some memories playing this game on Sega CD, but I dont have as memories as say Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter. I have only played it for about 1 hour at a store many years ago, but I havent forgot it since. This game is definitely entertaining, its just too fortunate not enough people like myself bought a Sega CD and played games like this.

Sadly, I've only played the Genesis game thus far, but it is bleeding awesome, even if it sets a new bar for fighting game AI cheapness. That Eternal Champion, I swear... what a butthole.

But it is an awesome game, with my three favorite characters being Xavier, Trident, and Blade. Larcen's design is also awesome, even if he is one of the trickier characters to play as. Soon, I intend on snagging a Sega CD and, along with it, EC: Challenge from the Dark Side.

Eternal Champions Rocks! I have the cartrige and CD version. This has to be one of the better fighting games....I think better than MK.


I am very suprised that it didnt get that much attention.

The Senator is the greatest fighting game character ever. EVER.

[autobotracing]

that game had some of the best finishers . They were damn tricky to pull off though .

I have a random I-Mockery plug regarding that! http://www.i-mockery.com/shorts/hidd...er/default.php

THIS guy is one of the main reasons why I want a Sega CD. That Rebuttal move is priceless beyond compare.

[Melf]

That's awesome!

that game had some of the best finishers.

Ha ha, I hear that. I remember seeing some of the fatalities featured in the sega cd sequal in an old EGM issue I had. Man, you just got to love that godzilla finisher.

[EnemyZero]

Holy crap! I must play this game!

Umm.

Didn't the one female fighter, Raven, have a bit of inertial bounce to her well before DOA or any other fighting game?

Oh boy... you won't believe what his Vendetta finisher is. I read about it on an FAQ, and the Senator apparently goes postal. He literally morphs into a postman, whips out an Uzi, and goes to town on his unlucky opponent! THAT'S IT, I MUST HAVE A SEGA CD AND I MUST HAVE THIS GAME. Case closed, no debate, I'm getting one. PERIOD.

I only have it for the Genesis not on CD. Still a great game. Played it alot more then MK

[-hellvin-]

I have both versions but only played the genesis one. Messed around with sega cd very briefly. It's an excellent fighting game but just never really caught on. I liked a lot of the stages fatalities. The only ones I really remember were the drive by in the chicago stage and the prehistoric stage with the dinosaur. Pretty gory.

[kainemaxwell]

I enjoyed the Sega cd EC moreso then the genesis one. Coller music and variety of moves and the hidden fighters and some really brutal finishing moves.

Yes, the Senator does rock, especially his ICBM missle finisher.

Great job Melf. I just read the interview today that bit on the Sega Saturn one made me go it sounded like such a cool idea for a fighter too bad it got canned. As far as the games go I'm a big fan too even though I've only played the Genesis version.

[kainemaxwell]

Very good articles, Melf.
