The concept and plot of this game was nice. No villains, all of them were good guys and were just trying to do good before their untimely and unfortunate deaths, with the prize being another shot at life. I wish this had actually continued or at least have a remake

To be honest, I loved the Eternal Champion instead of a villain role. He's a mentor's role as much as he pitted the characters to fight each other and if one wins. They'll prevent their tragic downfall and changed the future for the better. My favorite ones are Midnight, Triden, and Xavier.

Exactly. These people before their unfair deaths were about the change the ways of the people around them. They weren’t pitted against each other because of amusement. They were pitted against each other because they can learn and grow so they have both the knowledge AND power to save their own lives.

I think, Trident and Slash would've had to best outcome for the world itself. Slash taught his and other people to live in peace, rather then doing war. Back in the Stoneage, that could give humanity a huge boost of technology. Trident let the Atlanteans and Romans combine their civilisations and so also their technology and military. If the two civilisations would continue this, earth's middle age would've never existed and the technology could've made great inventions much earlier
I liked the background of this game in that everyone of them was someone who if they'd lived would've impacted history in a major way for the greater good .....I mean they took fighters from all eras even a caveman who'd died because he'd been born with an intellect far ahead of his time and he wanted to use it for good instead of evil.......his fighting style though it was hilarious: Pain Slash had the first and most direct fighting style

God I loved this game as a kid. This brings back serious nostalgia! I grew up with games like Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, and everyone I speak to remembers those, but when I bring this up, they're like...what? Never heard of that one! Seriously underrated! I also found all their backstories really sad. I also played the hell out of Shadow!
Shadow is the only character I dont sympathize but do have empathy for, she is the one character who is fully aware of her job and consequences. As a assassin of that caliber ur sworn in and are a member for life its blood in and blood out and mission must b completed or else. It sucks to b in that perdicument where u cant quit or retire out so it's one of those situations where its snitch or die just like most mob scenarios

This fighting game had a unique development of its concept and the fighters. Their bios showed when and what happened before their untimely deaths. As for their endings, it’s where they’re granted life again after the contest and leave off to where they died to fix everything they couldn’t finish and succeeded within their existence of their own time.

Eternal Champions is a great game and I like the fatalities, but there is one thing I don´t understand: The Eternal Champion wants to restore balance between good and evil again. This will be achieved if one of the 9 Fighters don´t die in their time. I mean, it´s pretty sadistic of the Champion to save them from being killed, just to tell them only one of them will live, but hey - this will save the world... Also the Champion himself wants to restore balance, so why the hell is he fighting us at the end of the game? He knows that the world will be doomed if he wins, so...why?

I wonder if the mad scientist in Blade's history was a chinese guy 🤔 This explain a lot...
The worst part about this game was spending years to get good enough to make it to the eternal champion, then to have him cheat by spaming special moves but losing no "mana" and by using the insult special to keep your mana too low to do any special moves. Then, he has four life bars, and when you lose, you don't go back two characters like normal, the game tells you, that you ruined history and it is all your fault. I was incredibly good at fighting games...there was never a human opponent I couldn't beat. But to cheat, then tell a kid they ruined the world because they couldn't defeat you on their first try...yeah...there is a reason this game is a memory and not an ongoing franchise. That being said, I did love this game, but wish they had handled the final boss differently. After my mother died, I couldn't handle the abuse this game dished out with it's unrealistic expectations, and stopped playing it.

I hate to be that guy, but the only ending that changes basically nothing(at least to me) is Jetta’s, all that happens is that Russia doesn’t go eastwards(so no Russo-Japanese war) but that’s it, a government was set up, but who’s to say that the Tsar would listen to them(he didn’t listen to the Duma in our timeline), WWI still breaks out(maybe a few years earlier than in our timeline), Lenin is still smuggled back into Russia by the Germans, the two Russian Revolutions still happen, and everything goes the same way it does in our timeline
