It's me playing a hard and crappy fighting game for the 16-bit Sega, from the start to the finish.
PLEASE READ ----------- "Unique" points about the game:
-- Unlike other evolved fighting games, this one has NO continues or credits.
-- If you lose to an opponent, you simply get sent back to fight the same opponent you fought against two fights ago.
-- If you lose JUST ONCE against the boss, it's an instant Game Over and you 'll get a bad ending which sucks ass.
-- The execution of special moves is actually LIMITED by a Yin-Yang icon present next to the life bar, which breaks into fractions on every execution and when the limit is reached it becomes a shining red dot. This means special moves CANNOT be executed UNTIL the full icon reappears some time later.
This concept was put in place to prevent players from abusing special moves but I find it retarded and unfair, because even when your computer opponent gets the shining red dot it could STILL perform as many special moves as it likes! Talk about ultra cheapness.
-- The Eternal Champion has 5 FORMS and you fight him on a Survival Mode basis (that is, just a small portion of your health is restored when you win every consecutive battle)
So in view of all of the above that I oppose, I play the game as fast and as cheap as I can (^-^)
The only thing that is good about this game is the story, which is almost as well-written as Mortal Kombat.
Enjoy.
**Also, from a page in the instruction manual about Xavier (word for word that do not appear on the in-game screen):
============================ Xavier's story and profile ============================
Xavier Pendragon
Occcupation: Warlock/Alchemist
Time Zone- 1692 A.D.
- Fighting Style- Hapkido Cane Fighting
Hapkido emphasizes a nonviolent code of counterdefense. If the force of an attacker's blow is strong, it must be met with a soft reception and countermoves. If the force is soft, it must be countered with a powerful defense.
This approach leads to the fluid circular motion and constant mobility of the art. The cane is used in place of the limbs. Almost all hits and defenses are performed by the cane.
- Biography - Xavier always made poor career choices, so it was no surprise that his last job should end in failure. After nailing still smoking horseshoes onto the mayor's prized workhorse, Xavier found himself with a shack full of smithy tools and no job.
Stirred by a love for science, Xavier decided to try his hand at alchemy, the age-old quest for the formula which would turn lead into gold.
Instead, he found a way to create an unlimited source of cheap, clean-burning energy that would put Salem on the map forever.
Also, he found that his alchemy had changed him, giving him strange, new powers.
Before Xavier could use this power and document it for the good of future generations, he found himself bound and gagged as the people of Salem carted him off to the town square. They burned him at the stake on the false charge of being a warlock.
While some of Xavier's powers could be mistaken for witchcraft, they are all based on real science.

I really liked the characters and movesets in this game but the actual game was hard as nails. Controls are really unresponsive and sluggish too, looking back on it. :(
I mean seriously. I see alot of people writing stuff like they never made it to the end and the few people that ever did could only do it with one character. I like a challenge and Im REALLY good at fighting games but everyone else cant be that bad. Something has to be wrong with the game itself.
This game dosen't look that hard but ill take your word for it because i get too emotional over these and you can get seriously injured with a flying projectile while walking past my room if im really losing that badly.
Thanks but looks can sometimes be deceiving. There is sometimes a phrase called "he made it look easy".
If you try this game you will know the regular characters are not a cakewalk save a couple, and the Eternal Champion is virtually. Hmm let us just say he will bring you down.

Anyway go try the game and tell me what you think. You should get the experience.
