| + | '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''', known as '''''Star Gladiator 2: Nightmare of Bilstein''''' (スターグラディエイター2 ナイトメア オブ ビルシュタイン) in Japan is a 3D fighting game created by [[Capcom]]. It was originally released in arcades in 1998, then ported to the [[Sega Dreamcast]] and released in 1999 in Japan and in 2000 in the rest of the world. | ||

| + | It is the sequel to ''Star Gladiator'', an earlier fighting game that was exclusively ported to the [[Sony PlayStation]]. | ||
==Story== | ==Story== | ||
| + | In the 24th century, humans have colonized the galaxy and made peaceful contact with alien civilizations. A scientist named Dr. Edward Bilstein has discovered how to harness the power of the human mind into a physical energy source he calls "plasma power." However, Bilstein is arrested and banished to a floating prison satellite around the Planet Zeta for experimenting on human subjects. There, he goes mad, creates a cyborg body, and escapes from prison. He raises an army called the Fourth Empire and begins terrorizing the galaxy until he is slain by the intergalactic bounty hunter Hayato Kanzaki. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The fall of the Fourth Empire restores peace to the galaxy. However, rumors have started circulating that Bilstein has returned in a new cybernetic body and begun rebuilding the forces of the Fourth Empire. | ||

The game has the following modes: | The game has the following modes: | ||
| − | *'''Arcade:''' | + | *'''Arcade:''' A one-player mode where the player chooses a character and fights matches against multiple opponents in a predetermined order (depending on the character selected). The fifth and eighth fights are preceded by dialogue scenes. The player earns Battle Ability points for each match depending on their performance. The eighth match is normally the final boss, but a hidden final boss is unlocked (by announcing "Here Comes a New Challenger" during the character's ending) if the player has earned enough Battle Ability points by the end of the eighth match (70,000 points for 1-round matches, 95,000 points for 3-round matches, or 110,000 points for 5-round matches). The character's full ending is only seen if this hidden final boss is unlocked and defeated. The game ends if the player loses a match but can be continued an unlimited number of times. A second player can challenge the first player to a match by pressing {{Start}} at any point. |
| − | *'''Versus:''' | + | *'''Versus:''' A two-player mode where each player chooses a character and fights a match against one another. Players can set a handicap and can choose any stage. The game keeps track of each player's wins and losses. |
| − | *'''Group Battle:''' | + | *'''Group Battle:''' A one- or two-player mode where each player chooses a roster of 1 to 5 characters (it can also be set to "CPU vs CPU" to watch the computer play). Players can have differently sized rosters and can choose the same character multiple times. The characters then fight matches consisting of a single round, and a character is eliminated from that player's roster when defeated. Players can choose whether the surviving character recovers vitality completely after each match, partially depending on the time remaining (with more vitality recovered for defeating the opponent quicker), or not at all. Whichever player successfully eliminates all of the other player's characters wins. |
| − | *'''Training:''' | + | *'''Training:''' A one-player training mode where the player chooses a character and an opponent and can practice moves. The player can set the behavior of the opponent (Freeze, Guard, or Active). The game shows a tree of the selected character's Plasma Combos and the damage done by the last sequence of moves. |
| + | |||
| + | Players can choose from eight difficulty levels and eight damage levels. There are also options to set the time limit (from 10 to 90 seconds in increments of 10 seconds or infinity) and the number of rounds per match (1, 3, or 5). High scores and options are saved to a [[VMU]]. | ||

| + | All of the characters from ''Star Gladiator'' return, except for Rimgal and the hidden character Kappah. The final bosses Bilstein and Ghost Bilstein and the hidden character Blood are now normally playable characters. Every returning character has a "mirrored" counterpart who shares largely the same moveset but with a different story and design and unique Plasma Strike moves. | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are four completely new characters, two immediately playable (Rain and Byakko) and two hidden (Kaede and Rai-On). These characters do not have mirrored counterparts, although Rai-On is based on Byakko and has a similar but not identical moveset. | ||

Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein, known as Star Gladiator 2: Nightmare of Bilstein (スターグラディエイター2 ナイトメア オブ ビルシュタイン) in Japan is a 3D fighting game created by Capcom. It was originally released in arcades in 1998, then ported to the Sega Dreamcast and released in 1999 in Japan and in 2000 in the rest of the world.
It is the sequel to Star Gladiator, an earlier fighting game that was exclusively ported to the Sony PlayStation.
Contents
Story
In the 24th century, humans have colonized the galaxy and made peaceful contact with alien civilizations. A scientist named Dr. Edward Bilstein has discovered how to harness the power of the human mind into a physical energy source he calls "plasma power." However, Bilstein is arrested and banished to a floating prison satellite around the Planet Zeta for experimenting on human subjects. There, he goes mad, creates a cyborg body, and escapes from prison. He raises an army called the Fourth Empire and begins terrorizing the galaxy until he is slain by the intergalactic bounty hunter Hayato Kanzaki.
The fall of the Fourth Empire restores peace to the galaxy. However, rumors have started circulating that Bilstein has returned in a new cybernetic body and begun rebuilding the forces of the Fourth Empire.

Modes
Here Comes a New Challenger
Training mode
The game has the following modes:
- Arcade: A one-player mode where the player chooses a character and fights matches against multiple opponents in a predetermined order (depending on the character selected). The fifth and eighth fights are preceded by dialogue scenes. The player earns Battle Ability points for each match depending on their performance. The eighth match is normally the final boss, but a hidden final boss is unlocked (by announcing "Here Comes a New Challenger" during the character's ending) if the player has earned enough Battle Ability points by the end of the eighth match (70,000 points for 1-round matches, 95,000 points for 3-round matches, or 110,000 points for 5-round matches). The character's full ending is only seen if this hidden final boss is unlocked and defeated. The game ends if the player loses a match but can be continued an unlimited number of times. A second player can challenge the first player to a match by pressing START at any point.
- Versus: A two-player mode where each player chooses a character and fights a match against one another. Players can set a handicap and can choose any stage. The game keeps track of each player's wins and losses.
- Group Battle: A one- or two-player mode where each player chooses a roster of 1 to 5 characters (it can also be set to "CPU vs CPU" to watch the computer play). Players can have differently sized rosters and can choose the same character multiple times. The characters then fight matches consisting of a single round, and a character is eliminated from that player's roster when defeated. Players can choose whether the surviving character recovers vitality completely after each match, partially depending on the time remaining (with more vitality recovered for defeating the opponent quicker), or not at all. Whichever player successfully eliminates all of the other player's characters wins.
- Training: A one-player training mode where the player chooses a character and an opponent and can practice moves. The player can set the behavior of the opponent (Freeze, Guard, or Active). The game shows a tree of the selected character's Plasma Combos and the damage done by the last sequence of moves.
Players can choose from eight difficulty levels and eight damage levels. There are also options to set the time limit (from 10 to 90 seconds in increments of 10 seconds or infinity) and the number of rounds per match (1, 3, or 5). High scores and options are saved to a VMU.
Characters
Note: Move lists assume that the character is facing right. When facing left, 
and 
should be reversed.

Playable
All of the characters from Star Gladiator return, except for Rimgal and the hidden character Kappah. The final bosses Bilstein and Ghost Bilstein and the hidden character Blood are now normally playable characters. Every returning character has a "mirrored" counterpart who shares largely the same moveset but with a different story and design and unique Plasma Strike moves.
There are four completely new characters, two immediately playable (Rain and Byakko) and two hidden (Kaede and Rai-On). These characters do not have mirrored counterparts, although Rai-On is based on Byakko and has a similar but not identical moveset.

- Main article: Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein/Hidden content.
These two characters appear as hidden opponents if the player fulfills the following conditions while playing the Arcade mode: finish at least one round with a Plasma Field, finish at least two rounds with Perfect victories (not losing any vitality), finish at least three rounds with a Plasma Strike, do not finish any rounds with a Time Over, and do not use a continue (though the player can still lose a round). The opponent selected is chosen randomly. Defeating the character unlocks him or her permanently in all modes (which is saved to a VMU). They can be also be unlocked to play using cheat codes.
