Coswell (I can almost see a Gary Daniels-Olivier Gruner mix here!) – A professional kickboxer from the year 2345 (R.A.X. However, the superiors arranged her death, and had her pushed off the 101st floor of the Corp building, before she could blow the whistle. Feeling vulnerable and endangered, she then decided to escape, and reveal the organization to the public authorities. The answer given to her is that she herself would be assassinated. After successfully carrying out many missions, she questioned her superiors about the consequences of failure. As a member of the Black Orchid Corp, she rose through the ranks, and became a top-notch killer. Her fighting style was a system of unarmed combat similar to Jujutsu mixed with the Ninjutsu art of invisibility. * Shadow Yamoto– Female ninja assassin from Japan in 1993. To choose the game’s original characters, Sega held a biweekly “focus group” made up of all ages, where a list of archetype characters (pirate, ninja, etc.) were voted on, after the number was whittled down to fifty characters, loose sketches were drawn, which were then reviewed by ‘kid testers’ and finally reduced to ten resulting in the nine characters of the game, including the Eternal Champion. Below are the original “Eternal Champions” characters with their brief storylines as described in the game itself. Eventually, it was found out that the original “Mortal Kombat” was released three months before “Eternal Champions”, which means “fatalities” was nothing new. There were a lot of debates, whether the “Eternal Champions” was the first tournament-style game that used “fatalities”. In other words, if you win the tournament, you’re given another chance to re-live the moments before your own death. You can check out the “Streets of Rage” post here, and this one is about the “Eternal Champions”.Įternal Champions (1993) – is a “tournament-fighting type of game, where you got a bunch of very different, larger than life characters that represent different periods of time, different races, fighting styles and so on.Īccording to the game’s story, all of the fighters were killed, and the “Eternal Champions” tournament allows them to fight one more time, so that when (or should I say IF) one of them wins the tournament, he/she will be transported back to his/her time, seconds or minutes before death, so that an alternative solution could be made. So, I’ve decided to write down the two of them, that coincidentally were among my favorite games, “ Eternal Champions“, and “ Streets of Rage“. I’ve had my share of joy, playing the SEGA video game console, and for what I can remember I’ve always had a few games there, that in my opinion would have made great movies.
