Eternal Champions - Overkills

You've got to laugh at me crediting myself for "gameplay." If you call beating a defenceless 2P about the head and having them stand in the right spot before finishing them, then yeah, I guess I deserve my credit.

Basically, just a short video of the Overkills from the original Eternal Champions -- nothing ultra special, but hey, Eternal Champions is out on the Virtual Console, and I felt like doing something mundane to celebrate.

You can have these pretty illustrated guides, too. They're free. Well, probably free. Okay, they are, take 'em:

@toddster87 The cyborg is RAX Coswell. The guy with the hook is Larcen Tyler.

@MikePenance Does this game have any connection with Mortal Kombat? Cuz what you guys are talkin' about can only remind me of Cyrax lol.

[MikePenance]

@NYCHeavyHitz212 Nope, no connection at all.

is the music playing in the video from the videogame as well? i'm probably going to sample it, so i'd like to know the source.

[MikePenance]

@TheHevquip Yeah, the music is from the game. It's the main theme.

great vid, thanks for the memories. I just pulled out my sega genesis ( with the cd game player and 32x) just to see how all the gamed use to look. Larcen was the coolest

the art in this game are the shit though

[arabting]

this game defenitly fucked up my head as a child

[FFightingSpirit]

I recently played this game on an emulator. Gameplay-wise, this game is very lousy. The combo system's all broken. It's just a game of chess. But it's artistic-value is REMARKABLE. The characters are so colorful and have very elaborate back-stories as does the game's storyline itself. The overkills are so eccentric and brutal that they rival even the most recent Mortal Kombat's fatalities. I have no nostalgic feelings for this game, but it's rather interesting to say the least.
