Released in 1995 for the [[Sega CD/Mega CD]] in the US and Europe. The game is a fighting game and is the sequel to the [[Sega Genesis/Mega Drive]] title, ''[[Eternal Champions]]''. The series was intended to be Sega's cry back to Midway's ''Mortal Kombat''. As a result of this the game has significantly gory finishing moves. However, most of the normal moves fail to show a lot of blood. Instead, Blood is only shown when a character is close to being fatigued. (not fatigued as in defeated but just stunned temporarily.) The title received an ESRB rating of M for Mature due to the amount of gore which surpasses its Genesis/Mega Drive predecessor's gore level. Many fans simply refer to this game as ''Eternal Champions CD'' or ''Eternal Champions 2'' for short.

'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is a [[Sega Mega-CD]] fighting game released in 1995. It is an enhanced and expanded version of the [[Sega Mega Drive]] title, ''[[Eternal Champions]]''.
  
−
The game is considered by many to be underrated and rarely played a lost gem due to the fact that the Sega CD failed to sell well. This title is one of the few truly decent Sega CD games released.
+
==Story==
 +
The Eternal Champion is an immortal, cosmic being who feels that the balance of the universe and time has been disturbed by the deaths of key individuals destined to change the world for the greater good. To restore the balance, he holds a great contest in which the winner is granted the gift of new life, allowing them to fulfill their rightful destiny.
  
−
==Storyline==
+
It is revealed that the Eternal Champion has a sinister counterpart: the Dark Champion. The Dark Champion appears and declares that he also will enter the contest and that he has hidden four more warriors, preventing the contest from truly being fulfilled. The contestants must not only achieve the aims of the Eternal Champion but also face the Dark Champion to win their lives back.
  
 +
==Gameplay==
 +
The game is a 2D one-on-one fighting game like its predecessor. Players have a selection of immediately playable characters, and there are many more unlockable ones. Players compete in best-of-three-round matches with time limits. When certain requirements are met, characters can perform special finishing moves (some stage-specific). In addition to an enhanced presentation with a CD audio soundtrack and numerous [[full-motion video]] sequences, the game adds new characters and stages, gives new special moves to existing characters, introduces a combo system, and adds three new kinds of gory finishing moves (while making the original Overkills gorier to match). Most special moves use less of the Inner Strength meter than in the previous game, and there is a new type of special attack that does not deplete the special attack meter at all.
  
−
Like the prequel the game follows the same pattern except with what happens next. The following is an exact duplication of the storyline viewed in the "Access Info" option on the game's main menu:
+
Characters move with {{left}} and {{right}}, crouch with {{down}}, and jump with {{up}}. There are three punches and three kicks, increasing in power but decreasing in quickness. The punches are {{X}} (straight), {{Y}} (lunge), and {{Z}} (swing). The kicks are {{A}} (snap), {{B}} (thrust), and {{C}} (wheel). When playing with a standard three-button control pad, {{Start}} toggles between punches and kicks and {{Start}}+{{A}}+{{B}}+{{C}} pauses the game. Attacks can be blocked by pressing away (for high attacks) or down and away (for low attacks). Grapples are executed by standing close to an opponent and pressing {{left}} or {{right}} and using either the medium or the strong punch button. These attacks cannot be blocked or escaped. If a character is hit several times in a row they become "dizzy" and their opponent can land a free attack.
  
−
===Introduction===
+
Each character has their own unique special attacks that are performed with special button combinations. Many special moves are performed by "charging" in a direction, then pressing the opposite direction coupled with an attack button, but the game also adds new moves that use ''[[:Category:Street Fighter|Street Fighter]]''-like quarter-circle motions. Each special move can only be performed with a specific strength of punch or kick (rather than with any punch or any kick button). Every special move costs an amount of Inner Strength, depicted by a Yin/Yang symbol next to the character's health bar at the top of the screen during a fight. Characters cannot perform special moves if they do not have sufficient Inner Strength remaining, but it replenishes over time. Different special attacks decrease the meter by different amounts, and the characters each have a taunt move that decreases their opponent's special attack meter as well.

''Eternity: Death is not an even in life: We do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present. -Ludwig Wittgenstein''

''The Storyline that is about to appear is one that is ever changing. Until the final chapter occurs, this story will be re-written over and over, changing with each iteration. Its current status is the on that appears here now. As you take responsibility for its ending. The contest you are about to join is one only a few have been allowed to participate in. Once you enter it will not end until time itself has been corrected and the nature of evil stopped. Prepare to meet the maelstrom as humanity now begins a fight that will decide whether it will survive or consume itself by its own passion to succeed at any cost.''
+
The game adds a new category of moves called "skill moves," which are special moves that do not cost any Inner Strength to use. Combo attacks are also introduced. Jumping attacks can be linked to ground attacks and most normal attacks can be linked to other normal attacks. Mild juggle combos can be executed by landing an additional hit on an already aerial opponent. Each character also has chains of uninterruptible attacks called Power Combos that grant the character ten seconds of unlimited Inner Strength when performed.

+
===Finishing moves===
−
''
+
In addition to the stage-specific Overkills from the original game, additional finishing moves have been added. Finishing moves are performed in the last round of a match when certain conditions are met. When most finishing moves are performed, the music stops playing (so the console can load the necessary animations), the winning character teleports away, and the opponent is killed in some novel and violent way by some hazard present in the stage. With Vendettas, both characters remain on screen, and the winning character kills the loser themselves.
−
''The story begins at the first moment of time. The Earth stands in chaos. Life has not begun to occur. Dead rock, steam, and lava flow from all directions. In the Deepest part of the sea there is a sudden explosion. Three bolts of energy rise from the deep sea floor. One gold and purple bolt rises into the sky and streaks towards the North Pole. A red and greay bold rises into the cloud of steam and fire, then moves towards the South Pole. The final bolt is bright white, and again rises out of the sea, but this time it falls back and the Earth comes alive, driven by this tremendous force.''
+
*'''Overkill:''' Stage-specific finishing moves where something in the stage kills the losing character. They are activated when a character lands on a specific spot in the stage with no health remaining. Some of the Overkills from the original game have been made gorier or replaced with more violent new ones.
 +
*'''Sudden Death:''' Stage-specific finishing moves similar to Overkills but capable of ending the round early. They are activated when a character is hit in front of a particular spot in the stage and hit by a hard blow while having 20% or less health remaining.
 +
*'''Vendetta:''' Character-specific finishing moves similar to Fatalities in the ''[[:Category:Mortal Kombat (franchise)|Mortal Kombat]]'' games. The player must stun the opponent with 33% or less health remaining, get in proper range (depending on the Vendetta), and enter the button combination for the character's Vendetta. While it appears to contradict the personalities of some characters (such as Larcen) to have them callously murdering the other characters, it is justified in the manual by explaining that the Dark Eternal Champion has the power to influence the champions to kill each other.{{fileref|Eternalchampions mcd us manual.pdf|page=29}}
 +
*'''Cinekill:''' [[Full-motion video]] finishing moves particular to the victim character. These are the most difficult of finishing moves to perform. They are activated when the player performs a Power Combo to get unlimited Inner Strength and stuns the opponent while the opponent has 20% or less health remaining. If successful, the victorious character is teleported away, and a portal opens up for the Dark Champion to manifest himself. The Dark Champion teleports away with the losing character and kills them with their worst fear inside his Cimmerian Complex.
  
−
''The gold and purple bolt stops directly over the largest mountain on the top of the Earth. It hovers then smashes down with tremendous force. The resulting explosion leaves a mysterious complex and miles of summer-like trees and streams surrounded by the eternal white of the polar snow. This complex becomes the Eternity Complex, and its master becomes named the Eternal Champion.  
+
===Modes===
−
The Eternal rises into the sky from his newly formed complex. He doesn't know what drives him forward except a sense that time is already running out. He can feel his energy being taxed and drained from the vast length of time. The Eternal Champion begins to circle the globe. Each rotation of the Earth brings greater speed until the Eternal is moving forward through time.''  
+
There are multiple game modes:
 +
*'''Contest:''' The main single-player mode. The player fights through a series of matches with different opponents in order to face the Eternal Champion in a long match. There are three difficulty levels (Neophyte, Warrior, and Champion). After defeating the Eternal Champion on Warrior difficulty or higher, the player must face the Dark Eternal Champion. On Champion difficulty, the player plays as the Eternal Champion when facing the Dark Eternal Champion.
 +
*'''Duel:''' One player fights a computer-controlled opponent or two players fight each other in a single match. Players are provided with numerous options, including the amount of time for each round, the number of rounds, the game speed, and handicaps for each player.
 +
*'''Tournament:''' A variety of tournament formats for a single player, 2 to 16 players competing individually, or 2 to 16 players competing in teams.
 +
*'''Access Info:''' A gallery mode where the player can read the storyline or biographies about each character or watch cinematics (including the endings for any characters that the player has completed the game with, which are remembered in the Mega-CD's internal memory).
  
−
''As the Eternal journeys forward in time, he sees certain lives being taken without reason. Some of these losses have a catastrophic impact on the balance between good and evil. Unless the Eternal stops this trend, the loss of these key individuals will result in the complete corruption of the time cycle itself, with the balance residing in infinite darkness. The Eternal Champion must act without delay. It begins with the first champion, Slash, who comes from the era of the Caveman. The year is 50,000 B.C., and Slash is about to be stoned to death by a jealous tribe mistrustful of his mental skills. The Eternal rescues Slash one instant before death, sending him to the Eternity Complex.''
+
====Tournament====
 +
The following tournament formats are available:
 +
*'''Round-a-Bout:''' Two players choose a stable of 4 to 18 fighters and are paired off in matches. When a player loses a match, that character is eliminated and no longer available for use by that player. The player who eliminates all of the other player's characters wins.
 +
*'''Single Elimination:''' Up to 16 contestants (which may be computer-controlled) compete in a bracket where each contestant is eliminated after a single loss.
 +
*'''Double Elimination:''' Up to 16 contestants (which may be computer-controlled) compete in a bracket where each contestant is eliminated after two losses.
 +
*'''Round Robin:''' Two or three players choose a stable of the same amount of fighters. After each match, the winning player moves on to their next character, while the loser stays playing the same character. The first player to win a match with every one of their fighters wins.
 +
*'''Dominator:''' One player with a computer-controlled opponent or two players choose a stable of fighters. Players switch to a different character with each fight. After each match, the win icon moves to the left or right on the win scale, depending on the victor. The tournament is won after one player has "dominated" the other by 3, 6, or 9 wins (decided before beginning).
 +
*'''Survivor:''' One or two players choose a fighter and play single-round matches against the computer, fighting every character in a row. After each match, the player's character only restores a third of their health. The player only has one chance to try to defeat every character; any loss ends the attempt. With two players, the players take turns until one player loses. If both players make it to the end, they play a final match against each other to determine the winner.
 +
*'''Expert Survivor:''' Same as Survivor, except players accumulate points in each battle. More points are awarded for health or time remaining, using finishing moves, performing combos, and so forth. In two-player games, the winner is decided by whoever has the most points.
 +
*'''Point Match:''' Two or three players choose a stable of the same amount of fighters, then fight until every character on each side has fought every character on every other side. Every win counts for 100 points. When every match has been played, the player with the most points wins.
 +
*'''Expert Point Match:''' Same as Point Match, except points are awarded for health or time remaining, using finishing moves, performing combos, and so forth rather than only winning.
 +
*'''Death Match:''' Two or three players choose a stable of the same amount of fighters, then fight until every character on each side has fought every character on every other side. After each match, the losing player loses that character permanently. A player is eliminated after losing every character.
 +
*'''Sell-Your-Soul:''' Same as Point Match, but at the end of the tournament, the players fight one last battle, with the health of each character determined proportionally by the number of wins earned by each player in the prior matches. The winner of the match wins the tournament. Only for one or two players.
 +
*'''Possession:''' One or two players choose a stable of the same amount of fighters. After each match, the losing character is passed to the winner's stable. The player who acquires all of the other player's characters wins.
 +
*'''Count-Down:''' Same to Survivor, but players attempt to defeat all of the computer-controlled characters within a time limit, and the character's health is restored after each fight.
 +
*'''Russian Roulette:''' One or two players choose a stable of the same amount of fighters. After each match, the losing player loses a random character. A player is eliminated after losing every character.
 +
*'''Sudden Death:''' Up to 16 contestants (which may be computer-controlled) choose a stable of fighters and compete in fast, 30-second, single-round matches. When a player loses a match, that character is eliminated and no longer available for use by that player. The player who eliminates all of the other player's characters wins.

''Once every few circles around the Earth the Eternal finds a new champion to rescue. In the year 110 B.C. he finds Trident, a genetically engineered warrior created by the people of Atlantis to be the protector of his people. Trident is nearly killed in a battle to determine the fate of Atlantis. Next comes Xavier Pendragon from 1692 A.D., the time of the Salem witch hunts. Xavier was wrongly accused of witchery due to his mastery of science. Whent the Eternal Champion approached the year 1899 A.D., he rescued Jetta Maxx, a circus performer nearly killed by a terrorist while performing in China. In the year 1920 A.D., the Eternal rescued Larcen Tyler, the best cat burglar in Chicago during the time of Al Capone. Larcen was tricked into carrying an explosive, and was to be framed for his own death as well as the deaths of innocent bystanders.

''The Eternal quickened his pace as he felt the imbalance growing. The world was changing for the worse. Mankind was losing its human spirit and allowing technology to do all its work. This shift was weakening the Eternal, so he had to hurry towards the end of time, where the contest was to occur. When the Eternal approached the year 1993 A.D., he found a remarkable young lady named Shadow Yamoto about to fall to her death. He rescued her, since her survival would mean the destruction of a corporate assassin program that had been growing for years. After several more rotations, the Eternal Champion got to the year 2100 A.D. and found Mitchell Midleton Knight, better known as Midknight. Midknight was unlike the other champions. He had a disease that made him appear to be a vampire but he refused to kill like one. He was a brilliant scientist, and had created the vampire -like virus. He is the only one, if he lives, who can stop it.''
+
====Playable====
 +
All of the characters from the original game return. Every returning character gains some new moves, and some old moves have been changed or removed.

''The Eternal Champion grew weaker still during the final portion of his travel. Concerned that he may not be able to complete the journey, the Eternal could take time to save only two further champions. In 2030 A.D. the Eternal found Jonathan Blade, a bounty hunter whose temper matched his huge size. A betrayal by the government that he had served all his life would have killed him had it not been for the Eternal's intervention. The final champion was taken from the year 2345 A.D., during the last days of man's existance. R.A.X. Coswell was the perfect example of the loss of human spirit. He was the best kickboxer of his generation, but the crowd thirsted for more. R.A.X. was forced to get cybernetic enhancements that left him more cyborg than human. The Eternal spared his life because R.A.X., even in his robotic form, refused to have his human spirit broken. After R.A.X, the Eternal grew too weak to continue. He returned to the Eternity Complex with all the champions he had collected.''
+
Four new characters are added: the female pirate Riptide, the pharaoh Ramses III, the voodoo priestess Raven, and the cowboy Dawson.

The contest begins just frozen seconds before the end of time, where the result will decide the final balance. The Eternal has only the strength to restore on Champion to life seconds before his or her death, where they can use this foreknowledge to survive and build a different and better future. The contest is the Eternal Champion's method of ensuring that the strongest champion is chosen for the gift of life, since all the others will return to their prior fates. So the contest begins.

He rescues these key individuals in hopes of restoring the balance of good and evil. He also has the power of taking the essence of animals. His primary forms are the Falcon, Tiger, Shark, and Dragon.

| desc=The Dark Eternal Champion was born after the Eternal Champion. As a result, he had an advantage: while he was aware of the Eternal's existence, the Eternal Champion was not aware of his. He used this knowledge to speed through time ahead of the Eternal Champion and hide four champions from him. Without these, the contest would repeat itself over and over. He is the antithesis of the Eternal Champion, and he is determined to make sure that evil is never destroyed. He kills his opponents with their greatest fears. When in a fight, he can call upon the destructive forces of nature such as Meteor Showers, Tsunamis, Hurricanes, and Tornados. Like the Eternal Champion, he has two forms, but only one is unlockable.

''The Dark Champion always had the advantage. Since he manifested after the Eternal Champion had departed the complex, he had the exclusive knowledge of their coexistence and used this to his advantage. The first imbalance he designed was to hide four champions from the Eternal so the contest would never be complete. As with the other Champions, each person was killed before they could fulfill their destiny.''

''The first hidden champion was Ramses the III, a Pharoah from the year 151 B.C.. Ramses died under mysterious circumstances, which, unlike the others seem to implicate the Dark Champion. The second victim ruled the sea in 1566 A.D. as a famous female pirate named Riptide. The third victim was Raven Gindar, a Voodoo priestess from the year 1802 A.D., who had the power to control time and aging. Despite this power, Raven was slain and hidden by the Dark Champion. Finally, the last hidden champion was Dawson McShane. Dawson was a successful Scottish gambler and western sheriff from the year 1849 A.D., traveling the globe to find his fortune and fight for justice. The Dark Champion claimed his life right before Dawson would hace found his place in history during the gold rush of the Old West. As single lives their effects were minimal, but as a collective force they kept the Eternal Champion's contest in infinite ruin.''

Several of the secret characters are animals, which are immune to Overkills, Sudden Deaths, and Vendettas. They also have more limited movesets and lack Vendettas (but can perform other finishing moves). All secret characters lack Cinekills.

| desc=An acupuncturist from China in the year 1815 AD. who practiced Monkey Kung Fu. Chin Wo was one of the best fighters in China but spent most of his time healing. One day, the cousin of the ruling class challenged Chin Wo to a fight. Chin refused knowing that if he won the fight it would surely mean his death. Being a proud man, Chin would npt lose either. This left him with only one choice, which was not to fight. The cousin made life very hard for Chin, but he would npt budge on his decision. Finally the cousin killed an innocent street beggar and framed Chin for it. The cousin promised to drop the charges if Chin fought him. Seeing death in either situation, Chin chose to take the charges for the murder rather than give the cousin what he desired. He was beheaded in a public execution as a result. Chin Wo was planned for the first ''Eternal Champions'' game but was scrapped due to memory constraints. His stage resembles Jetta's stage from the first game.

| desc=A Green Beret soldier from 1955 AD. Thomas "Blast" Chavez was one of the first special forces agents to run guns to Vietnam. During this time, the US was only supporting the French effort. Blast was a chopper pilot, tasked with the duty of making clandestine drops of weapons over enemy lines. Blast made many of these runs with a man named Redux. During his final run before being scheduled to return stateside, he ran into trouble. His final drop went fine, and he was about to take off when Redux revealed that he was a double agent for Vietnam. Redux pulled the pin off of a grenade and ran off the helicopter that was about to lift-off. Because Blast was strapped in for take-off, he was unable to remove his harness in time and was blown up in the resulting explosion. Blast was planned for the first ''Eternal Champions'' game but was scrapped due to memory constraints. His stage resembles Midknight's stage from the first game.

| desc=Originally the Greek God of Death, he dwelt with his brother, Hypnos (Sleep) in the Underworld. He operated at his post until 1692 AD, when, during a routine pick up of a soul, he was confronted by a force that was neither good nor evil. This force seemed to exist in an indescribable middle that gave it powers that Thanatos was no match for. This force turned him into a mortal named Vespian, a mortal that was thought to be a warlock and was hence killed during the witch hunts of Salem. The force then took his post as God of Death and has been performing the role ever since. This force changes the rules of death and taking lives that are not meant to be taken. Thanatos uses edited and recolored versions of Xavier's sprites and also shares his stage.

The Senator made a living by voting the ways of special interest groups and creating issues to make himself popular. He was surprised when his party did not support him for reelection. He once voted for a human rights issue and his party was angry that he chose humanity over their personal profits. When he lost in a landslide election after losing millions of his own money, he died of a massive heart attack. His character's sprites are edited from Larcen, but he has some unique attacks and animations. His character is a parody of the politicians involved in [[1993–94 United States Senate hearings on video games|the 1993 Congressional hearings on violent video games]] (famously involving ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' and ''[[Night Trap]]'').

| desc=A Shih Tzu dog that once lived a life of luxury in the year of 1995 AD. He was owned by a rich woman who lived in a penthouse in New York City. When she passed away, she willed that her fortune be used to keep Yappy living in the same style that he was used to. An evil relative instead threw Yappy out onto the street and took the money for herself. It was street life that gave Yappy his hard edge. He was killed while attempting to get revenge on the evil relative by chewing on her car's break line. Unfortunately, Yappy was crushed when the car slipped out of gear and rolled over him. Yappy shares his stage with Senator.

When Vespian was killed, Hooter spent all of his time observing the witch burnings, hoping he would gain revenge on the closed minded people that continued to this cruel act. One of the fanatics noticed that Hooter was always around when the witch burnings were occurring. This fanatic captured Hooter after a witch burning and threw him into the still burning fires of the warlock they had just killed. Like Thanatos, Hooter shares his stage with Xavier. Instead of jumping, he flies around in any direction.

''The Dark Champion allows the Eternal find the missing four champions needed to hold a proper and true contest, thereby freeing himself to use his power more forcefully than a mere deception. The Dark Champion applies his power to distort the Eternal's contest to one of hate and evil rather than one of noble attempt. The code of Bushido, a practice of respect and honor, is perverted into a battle of blood and ego.''

''This major shift won't go unnoticed by the Eternal, and after many destructive battles the contest finall gives way to the first face-to-face confrontation between the Eternal and Dark Champion. Each of them, though weakened by the other, can manifest considerable power. The Eternal Champion calls upon the energy of animals to battle in many different forms; including a tiger, dragon, shark ,falcon, and many others. Unlike the Eternal, who taps into the beauty of nature, the Dark Champion uses the dark side of nature by tapping the forces of natural disasters. This includes tonadoes, earthquakes, tidal waves, blizzards, and many other violent forms. Even the imminent power of both beings, their private battle only leads to their mutual destruction. Just as it was with the contest, the struggle occurs over and over with the two champions facing each other in mortal battle, infinite and unresolving. They must both exist in balance of the other; the resolution must come from other means.''

''The Dark Champion has hidden more than the Eternal could have guessed. There isn't just a single evil being waiting; instead, a direct person to person match exists and each must fight their battle apart and together. It has come time for not just the Eternal and Dark Champion to face their final battle but for the final determination of mankind and a future of either darkness or light.''

Eternal Champions: Challenge From the Dark Side is a Sega Mega-CD fighting game released in 1995. It is an enhanced and expanded version of the Sega Mega Drive title, Eternal Champions.

Story

The Eternal Champion is an immortal, cosmic being who feels that the balance of the universe and time has been disturbed by the deaths of key individuals destined to change the world for the greater good. To restore the balance, he holds a great contest in which the winner is granted the gift of new life, allowing them to fulfill their rightful destiny.

It is revealed that the Eternal Champion has a sinister counterpart: the Dark Champion. The Dark Champion appears and declares that he also will enter the contest and that he has hidden four more warriors, preventing the contest from truly being fulfilled. The contestants must not only achieve the aims of the Eternal Champion but also face the Dark Champion to win their lives back.

Gameplay

The game is a 2D one-on-one fighting game like its predecessor. Players have a selection of immediately playable characters, and there are many more unlockable ones. Players compete in best-of-three-round matches with time limits. When certain requirements are met, characters can perform special finishing moves (some stage-specific). In addition to an enhanced presentation with a CD audio soundtrack and numerous full-motion video sequences, the game adds new characters and stages, gives new special moves to existing characters, introduces a combo system, and adds three new kinds of gory finishing moves (while making the original Overkills gorier to match). Most special moves use less of the Inner Strength meter than in the previous game, and there is a new type of special attack that does not deplete the special attack meter at all.

Characters move with Left and Right, crouch with Down, and jump with Up. There are three punches and three kicks, increasing in power but decreasing in quickness. The punches are X (straight), Y (lunge), and Z (swing). The kicks are A (snap), B (thrust), and C (wheel). When playing with a standard three-button control pad,  START  toggles between punches and kicks and  START +A+B+C pauses the game. Attacks can be blocked by pressing away (for high attacks) or down and away (for low attacks). Grapples are executed by standing close to an opponent and pressing Left or Right and using either the medium or the strong punch button. These attacks cannot be blocked or escaped. If a character is hit several times in a row they become "dizzy" and their opponent can land a free attack.

Each character has their own unique special attacks that are performed with special button combinations. Many special moves are performed by "charging" in a direction, then pressing the opposite direction coupled with an attack button, but the game also adds new moves that use Street Fighter-like quarter-circle motions. Each special move can only be performed with a specific strength of punch or kick (rather than with any punch or any kick button). Every special move costs an amount of Inner Strength, depicted by a Yin/Yang symbol next to the character's health bar at the top of the screen during a fight. Characters cannot perform special moves if they do not have sufficient Inner Strength remaining, but it replenishes over time. Different special attacks decrease the meter by different amounts, and the characters each have a taunt move that decreases their opponent's special attack meter as well.

The game adds a new category of moves called "skill moves," which are special moves that do not cost any Inner Strength to use. Combo attacks are also introduced. Jumping attacks can be linked to ground attacks and most normal attacks can be linked to other normal attacks. Mild juggle combos can be executed by landing an additional hit on an already aerial opponent. Each character also has chains of uninterruptible attacks called Power Combos that grant the character ten seconds of unlimited Inner Strength when performed.

Finishing moves

In addition to the stage-specific Overkills from the original game, additional finishing moves have been added. Finishing moves are performed in the last round of a match when certain conditions are met. When most finishing moves are performed, the music stops playing (so the console can load the necessary animations), the winning character teleports away, and the opponent is killed in some novel and violent way by some hazard present in the stage. With Vendettas, both characters remain on screen, and the winning character kills the loser themselves.

  • Overkill: Stage-specific finishing moves where something in the stage kills the losing character. They are activated when a character lands on a specific spot in the stage with no health remaining. Some of the Overkills from the original game have been made gorier or replaced with more violent new ones.
  • Sudden Death: Stage-specific finishing moves similar to Overkills but capable of ending the round early. They are activated when a character is hit in front of a particular spot in the stage and hit by a hard blow while having 20% or less health remaining.
  • Vendetta: Character-specific finishing moves similar to Fatalities in the Mortal Kombat games. The player must stun the opponent with 33% or less health remaining, get in proper range (depending on the Vendetta), and enter the button combination for the character's Vendetta. While it appears to contradict the personalities of some characters (such as Larcen) to have them callously murdering the other characters, it is justified in the manual by explaining that the Dark Eternal Champion has the power to influence the champions to kill each other.[9]
  • Cinekill: Full-motion video finishing moves particular to the victim character. These are the most difficult of finishing moves to perform. They are activated when the player performs a Power Combo to get unlimited Inner Strength and stuns the opponent while the opponent has 20% or less health remaining. If successful, the victorious character is teleported away, and a portal opens up for the Dark Champion to manifest himself. The Dark Champion teleports away with the losing character and kills them with their worst fear inside his Cimmerian Complex.

Modes

There are multiple game modes:

  • Contest: The main single-player mode. The player fights through a series of matches with different opponents in order to face the Eternal Champion in a long match. There are three difficulty levels (Neophyte, Warrior, and Champion). After defeating the Eternal Champion on Warrior difficulty or higher, the player must face the Dark Eternal Champion. On Champion difficulty, the player plays as the Eternal Champion when facing the Dark Eternal Champion.
  • Duel: One player fights a computer-controlled opponent or two players fight each other in a single match. Players are provided with numerous options, including the amount of time for each round, the number of rounds, the game speed, and handicaps for each player.
  • Tournament: A variety of tournament formats for a single player, 2 to 16 players competing individually, or 2 to 16 players competing in teams.
  • Access Info: A gallery mode where the player can read the storyline or biographies about each character or watch cinematics (including the endings for any characters that the player has completed the game with, which are remembered in the Mega-CD's internal memory).

Tournament

The following tournament formats are available:

  • Round-a-Bout: Two players choose a stable of 4 to 18 fighters and are paired off in matches. When a player loses a match, that character is eliminated and no longer available for use by that player. The player who eliminates all of the other player's characters wins.
  • Single Elimination: Up to 16 contestants (which may be computer-controlled) compete in a bracket where each contestant is eliminated after a single loss.
  • Double Elimination: Up to 16 contestants (which may be computer-controlled) compete in a bracket where each contestant is eliminated after two losses.
  • Round Robin: Two or three players choose a stable of the same amount of fighters. After each match, the winning player moves on to their next character, while the loser stays playing the same character. The first player to win a match with every one of their fighters wins.
  • Dominator: One player with a computer-controlled opponent or two players choose a stable of fighters. Players switch to a different character with each fight. After each match, the win icon moves to the left or right on the win scale, depending on the victor. The tournament is won after one player has "dominated" the other by 3, 6, or 9 wins (decided before beginning).
  • Survivor: One or two players choose a fighter and play single-round matches against the computer, fighting every character in a row. After each match, the player's character only restores a third of their health. The player only has one chance to try to defeat every character; any loss ends the attempt. With two players, the players take turns until one player loses. If both players make it to the end, they play a final match against each other to determine the winner.
  • Expert Survivor: Same as Survivor, except players accumulate points in each battle. More points are awarded for health or time remaining, using finishing moves, performing combos, and so forth. In two-player games, the winner is decided by whoever has the most points.
  • Point Match: Two or three players choose a stable of the same amount of fighters, then fight until every character on each side has fought every character on every other side. Every win counts for 100 points. When every match has been played, the player with the most points wins.
  • Expert Point Match: Same as Point Match, except points are awarded for health or time remaining, using finishing moves, performing combos, and so forth rather than only winning.
  • Death Match: Two or three players choose a stable of the same amount of fighters, then fight until every character on each side has fought every character on every other side. After each match, the losing player loses that character permanently. A player is eliminated after losing every character.
  • Sell-Your-Soul: Same as Point Match, but at the end of the tournament, the players fight one last battle, with the health of each character determined proportionally by the number of wins earned by each player in the prior matches. The winner of the match wins the tournament. Only for one or two players.
  • Possession: One or two players choose a stable of the same amount of fighters. After each match, the losing character is passed to the winner's stable. The player who acquires all of the other player's characters wins.
  • Count-Down: Same to Survivor, but players attempt to defeat all of the computer-controlled characters within a time limit, and the character's health is restored after each fight.
  • Russian Roulette: One or two players choose a stable of the same amount of fighters. After each match, the losing player loses a random character. A player is eliminated after losing every character.
  • Sudden Death: Up to 16 contestants (which may be computer-controlled) choose a stable of fighters and compete in fast, 30-second, single-round matches. When a player loses a match, that character is eliminated and no longer available for use by that player. The player who eliminates all of the other player's characters wins.

 Eternal Champion
The Eternal Champion has been around since the beginning of time. As a result, he has seen everything through the course of time, including the destruction of the human spirit. He sees that certain individuals throughout time have had their lives taken before they were to fulfill their destiny, which would have changed mankind in some way. He rescues these key individuals in hopes of restoring the balance of good and evil. He also has the power of taking the essence of animals. His primary forms are the Falcon, Tiger, Shark, and Dragon.

When the player is playing on the highest difficulty setting, the Eternal Champion has new animal abilities specifically for the final battle against the Dark Eternal Champion: the Millipede, Unicorn, Elephant, and Electric Eel. Both modes can be unlocked to play in the two-player Duel Mode.

 The Dark Eternal Champion
The Dark Eternal Champion was born after the Eternal Champion. As a result, he had an advantage: while he was aware of the Eternal's existence, the Eternal Champion was not aware of his. He used this knowledge to speed through time ahead of the Eternal Champion and hide four champions from him. Without these, the contest would repeat itself over and over. He is the antithesis of the Eternal Champion, and he is determined to make sure that evil is never destroyed. He kills his opponents with their greatest fears. When in a fight, he can call upon the destructive forces of nature such as Meteor Showers, Tsunamis, Hurricanes, and Tornados. Like the Eternal Champion, he has two forms, but only one is unlockable.

 Chin Wo
An acupuncturist from China in the year 1815 AD. who practiced Monkey Kung Fu. Chin Wo was one of the best fighters in China but spent most of his time healing. One day, the cousin of the ruling class challenged Chin Wo to a fight. Chin refused knowing that if he won the fight it would surely mean his death. Being a proud man, Chin would npt lose either. This left him with only one choice, which was not to fight. The cousin made life very hard for Chin, but he would npt budge on his decision. Finally the cousin killed an innocent street beggar and framed Chin for it. The cousin promised to drop the charges if Chin fought him. Seeing death in either situation, Chin chose to take the charges for the murder rather than give the cousin what he desired. He was beheaded in a public execution as a result.

 Blast
A Green Beret soldier from 1955 AD. Thomas "Blast" Chavez was one of the first special forces agents to run guns to Vietnam. During this time, the US was only supporting the French effort. Blast was a chopper pilot, tasked with the duty of making clandestine drops of weapons over enemy lines. Blast made many of these runs with a man named Redux. During his final run before being scheduled to return stateside, he ran into trouble. His final drop went fine, and he was about to take off when Redux revealed that he was a double agent for Vietnam. Redux pulled the pin off of a grenade and ran off the helicopter that was about to lift-off. Because Blast was strapped in for take-off, he was unable to remove his harness in time and was blown up in the resulting explosion.

 Thanatos
Originally the Greek God of Death, he dwelt with his brother, Hypnos (Sleep) in the Underworld. He operated at his post until 1692 AD, when, during a routine pick up of a soul, he was confronted by a force that was neither good nor evil. This force seemed to exist in an indescribable middle that gave it powers that Thanatos was no match for. This force turned him into a mortal named Vespian, a mortal that was thought to be a warlock and was hence killed during the witch hunts of Salem. The force then took his post as God of Death and has been performing the role ever since. This force changes the rules of death and taking lives that are not meant to be taken. Thanatos uses edited and recolored versions of Xavier's sprites and also shares his stage.

 Senator
A politician from Washington, D.C. in the year 1995 AD that practiced that ancient art of dishonesty. The Senator made a living by voting the ways of special interest groups and creating issues to make himself popular. He was surprised when his party did not support him for reelection. He once voted for a human rights issue and his party was angry that he chose humanity over their personal profits. When he lost in a landslide election after losing millions of his own money, he died of a massive heart attack. His character's sprites are edited from Larcen, but he has some unique attacks and animations.
