Xavier Pendragon
Eternal Champion
Pretty unknown 1995 fighting game for the Sega CD. Where I got my username from in fact.
Anyway, I've actually never played anyone online on this game in my life, so I could organise something with someone. My personal opinion on the tiers. (I haven't added the Eternal Champion (God Tier probably) Dark Champion (unsure, probably top tier) and the Animals, because the animals are either too good or too bad)
Top Tier: Blast, Trident, Slash, Shadow, Larcen, Midknight, Senator, Jetta
Mid Tier: Xavier, Thanatos, Blade, Ramses, Dawson, Raven
Low Tier: Riptide, R.A.X, Chin Wo
Very brutal game as well, makes MK's fatalities look like an E game. Midknight's stage is the best for gruesome deaths IMO. Also, Ermac and Baraka borrow Xavier and Trident's Vendetta's respectively (although Baraka does more and chops the head, arms and legs off).
I do think this game may have competitive potential, albeit only a small community. Plays a bit like Street Fighter, but with a combo system in it. Inner Strength also offers some cool options. The AI is pretty cheap though.
The story is very good as well, The Eternal Champion can save people from their untimely deaths, and only one of them can return to their time, and hopefully survive their death and live on to prosper and hopefully change the world for the good.
I'd recommend this game to any fan of 2D fighters.
