THE BEGINNING 



THdXOTHW CAN B€ TOLD ]JN0TTH£ STERNAL 
TAQ. TH£ NXM£ THAT CAN U NAM£D h NOT 
TH£ ttt ^NXL NXME. - TAG Tf CHINC 



The story begins aL ihe first moment of Lime. The 
Earth stands in chaos. Life has not begun to occur Dead 
rock, steam and lava flow from all directions, in the 
deepest part of the sea there is a sudden explosior 
T hree bolts of energy rise from the deep sea floor 
One gold and purple boll rises into the sky and 
streaks toward the North Pole. A red and 
gray bolt rises in a cloud of steam and fire, 
then moves toward the South Pole. The final 
bolt is bright white and again rises from the sea, 
but this time it falls back and the Earth be¬ 
comes alive, driven by this tremendous force. 

The gold and purple bolt stops directly 
over the largest mountain on the top of the 
Earth. It hovers, then smashes down with 
tremendous force The resulting explosion leaves a 
,«- mysterious complex, and miles of summer-like trees 

and streams surrounded by the eternal white of the polar 
snow. This complex comes to be known as the Eternity Complex, and its 
master becomes named the Eternal Champion. 


The Eternal rises into the sky from his newly-formed complex, He 
doesn't know what drives him forward, except a sense that time is already 
running out He tan feel his energy being raxed and drained from the 
vast length of time The Eternal Champion begins to circle the globe. Each 
rotation of the Earth brings greater speed until the Eternal is moving 
forward through time. 

As the Eternal journeys forward in time, he sees certain lives being 
taken without reason. Some of these losses have a catastrophic impacL on 
the balance tietween good and evil. Unless the Eternal stops this trend, 
the loss of these key individuals will result in a complete corruption of the 
time cycle itself, with the balance residing in infinite darkness. The Eternal 
Champion must act without delay 

it begins with the first champion. Slash, who comes from the era o' 
the caveman. The year is 50,000 B.C. and Slash is about to be stoned to 
death by a mistrustful tribe jealous of his mental skills The Eternal rescues 
Stash one instant before death, sending him to the safety of the Eternity 
Complex. 

2 


Once every few cycles around the Earth, the Eternal 
finds a new champion to rescue. In the year 110 B.C. he finds 
Trident, a genetically-engirleered warrior created by the 
people of Atlantis to be their protector, Trident is nearly killed 
in a battle to determine the fate of Atlantis. Next comes Xavier 
Pendragon, from 1692 A.D., the time of the Salem witch hunts. Xavier 
was wrongly accused of witchery ouc to his mastery of science. 

When the Eternal Champion approached the year I899A.D, he 
rescued JeLta Maxx, a Russian circus performer who was nearly killed by a 
terrorist while performing in China. In the year 1920 A.D., the Eternal 
rescued Larcen Tyler, the best cat burglar in Chicago dunng the time of 
the mobsters. Larcen was tricked into carrying an explosive, and would be 
framed for his Own death as well as the deaths of innocent bystanders 

The Eternal quickened his pace as he felt the 
imbalance growing. The world was changing for 
the worse. Mankind was losing its human spirit 
and allowing technology to do alt its work. This 
shift was weakening the Eternal, so he had to 
hurry toward the end of time, where the contest 
was to occur. 

When the Eternal approached the year 1993 
A.D., he found a remarkable woman named Shadow 
Yamoto about to fall to her death He rescued her, 
since her survival would mean the destruction of a 
corporate assassin program that had been 
growing for years. 

After several more rotations, the Eternal 
Champion got io the year 2100 A.D. and Pound 
Mitchell Midleton Knight, better known as 
Midknight. Midknight was unlike the other 
champions. He had a disease that made him appear to be a 
vampire. Bui he refused to kill like one. He was a brilliant 
scientist, and had created the vampire-!ike virus. If he lived, he 
would be the only human who could stop it from spreading over tine 
world. 

The Eternal Champion grew weaker still during flic final ponton of 
his travel. Concerned that he might not be able to complete the journey, 
he could take time to save only two more champions. In 2030 A.D., the 
Eternal found Jonathan Slade, a bounty hunter whose temper matched 
his huge size A betrayal by the government that ho had served all his life 
would have killed him had it nor been for the Eternal s intervention. 





3 




RAX. Caswell, the final champion, was taken from the 
year 2345 A.D. r during the last days of mankind's existence. 
Ho was the perfect example of the toss of human spirit. He 
was the best kick boxer of his generation, but The crowd 
thirsted for more. R.A.X. was forced to get cybernetic 
enhancements that left him more cyborg than human. The Eternal spa ret; 
his life because RAX, even in his robotic: form, refused to have his human 
spirit broken. After R.A.X., the Eternal grew too weak to continue. He 
returned to Lhe Eternity Complex with all the champions he had collected 

The contest begins just seconds before the end of time. The result 
will decide the final balance of good and evil. The Fcernal has only 
enough strength to restore one champion to life, seconds before his or 
her death, so that the champion can use his or her foreknowledge to 
survive and build a different, better future. The contest is the Hemal 
Champion's method of ensuring that the strongest champion is chosen for 
the gift of life. All the others wilt return to their prior fates. 5o the contest 
begins. 

The problem was that each time the contest was held and a noble 
winner chosen, ihe future remained in imbalance, The contest was forced 
to begin anew. This infinite loop would have gone on forever, had it not 
been for the appearance and intervention of the Dark Champion, 



DARKNESS ENTERS

kOEEFkt F Ik,Oil 


The Dank Champion always had the 
advantage. Since he manifested after the 
Hemal Champion had departed the complex, 
he had the exclusive knowledge of their 
coexistence and used this to his advantage. 
The first imbalance he designed was to hide 
Four champions from the Eternal so the 
contest would never be completed. As with 
the other champions, These four persons 
were killed before they could fulfill their 
destinies. 



The first hidden champion was 
Ramses ill. a Pharaoh from the year 
1151 B.C. Ramses died under 
mysterious circumstances, which, 
unlike the others, scorned to 
implicate the Dark Champion The second 
victim ruled the sea in 1566 A.D, as a famous 
female pirate named Riptide. The third victim 
was Raven Gindar, a voodoo priestess from 
the year 1820 A D,, who had the power to 
control lime and aging. Despite this power. 

Raven was stain and h ddan by the Dark Cham¬ 
pion. Finally, the last hidden champion was 
Dawson McShane. Dawson was a successful Scottish gambler 
and western sheriff from the year I04d a.O . traveling the 
globe to find his fortune and fight for justice. The Dark Champion 
claimed his life right before Dawson would have found his place in history 
during the Gold Rush in the Old West. As single lives, (he effects of these 
champions were minimal. Rut as a collective force, they kept the Eternal 
Champion's contest locked in infinite ruin. 


The Dark Champion allowed the Eternal to find the missing Tour 
champions needed to hold a proper and true contest, thereby freeing 
himself to use his power more forcefully than as a mere deception, The 
Dark Champion applied his power to distorting the Eternal's contest to 
one of hate and evil, rather than one of noble attempt, The code of 
Bushido, a practice of respect and honor, was perverted into a battle of 
blood and ego. 

This major shift wilt not go unnoticed hy the Eternal. After many 
destructive battles, the contest finally gives way to the first face-toface 
confrontation between the Eternal and the Dark Champion, Each of 
them, though weakened by the other, can manifest considerable power. 
The Eternal Champion calls upon the energy of animals to battle in many 
different forms, including a tiger, dragon, shark and falcon. Unlike the 
Eternal, who taps into the energy and beauty of nature, the Dark Cham¬ 
pion uses the dark side of nature by tapping the forces of natural disasters. 
These include tornadoes, earthquakes, tidal waves, blizzards and many 
other violent forms Just as it was with the contest, the struggle occurs 
over and over with the two Champions Facing each other in mortal battle, 
infinite and unresolving. They must both exist in balance of the other: the 
r esolution must come from another means. 

The Dark Champion has hidden more than the Eternal could have 
guessed. There isn't just a single evil being waiting; instead, a direct 
person-to-person match exists and each must fight their battle apart and 
together. It has come time for not just the Eternal and Dark Champion 
to face their final battle, but for the final determination of the Fate of 
mankind and a future of either darkness or light. 









THE FINAL CONTEST 


WHEN THE WAY COM6JIO AN {NO, THEN 
CHANCE. HAVING CHANCED, YOU PASS 
THROUGH. - ! CHINC 

The entire contest has been based on correcting paradoxes after 
they have occurred Hence, the final solution lies only in stopping the 
paradoxes before they occur; otherwise the eternal challenge will remain 
forever in an infinite loop, Roth sides have the power to make this 
happen, hut only one can succeed the other side will be forced to accept 
ns final twisted fate. 

To solve a paradox before it happens, the champions or internals 
must return to their respective time Tories, before their deaths, and fulfil 
their destinies /Ml members of either side must clear their paradoxes so 
that an the members can return together and forever. 

This task would bo straightforward if it weren't for the stubbornness 
of time itself. Time is the only constant in the universe „ and it doesn't cake 
kindly to manipulation by outside forces. When champions or internals 
return to their native time, they will find that they are now combined with 
what was and what they are. This sets off an instability within the time 
stream. Occasionally, it causes a random paradox, turning flic victims into 
a swirl of colorful energy, without shape or form, unable to affect the 
material world. 

Because of this, the contest has changed from a challenge to the 
individual to a battle between teams of light and darkness. Each team 
member must work with the others, joining forces across the great span 
of time to fix each other's destinies. 

Another problem complicates their task. When a time paradox has 
been fixed by one sice’s member, the matching member from the other 
side will become trapped in an infinite rime distortion, unable to move or 
act. This condition remains until either Lhe paradox has been recreated by 
another visit from that members partners, or until all time paradoxes have 
been seaifxl 

Sealing all time paradoxes dears all time distortions and returns the 
losers to their deaths. Both sides must send the right mix of the past 
current and future members to each time zone. They must use their 
strength, exploiL the other side's weakness, workas a team and accom¬ 
plish the paradox correction in the shortest amount of time. The side thar 
does this first and best will slowly paralyze the other, eventually sending 
them b^ck to their deaths 



This, in effect, creates a game of chess in which the 
Eternal and Dark Champion move their growing and 
shrinking armies across an ever-changing board called Chaos 
The final result of the battle is yet to be determined, and in a 
sense it may never truly be over. Fvon after one side wins, the 
losing team members will bn replaced by a new generation, si 
but ready to revenge the loss of the prior comrades. 

As the title Eternal Champion suggests, the battle itself is forever. 
What matters is which side holds the current advantage, bringing either 
prosperity or grief with its respective victories. Only the stalemate, leading 
both sides to destruction, must never occur, because In the middle of both 
extremes is Chaos, the greatest evil that humanity faces.

LIVED BEFORE ME, I CAN ONLY REWARD ONE OF THESE INDI¬ 
VIDUALS WITH THE GIFT OF LIFE. EACH CAN HAVE AN 
EQUALLY PROFOUND EFFECT ON THE FUTURE. 

AT THE END OF THIS CONTEST, ONLY ONE WILL REMAIN, THE 
VICTOR WILL BE RETURNED TO LIFE JUST A FEW SECONDS 
BEFORE DEATH, WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO AVOID THE PAST 
WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THE CHANGE THE FUTURE,

Next, choose your tournament type: 

* Single Elimination 

Each player selects one fighter. Up to 15 computer- 
controlled opponents may compete. Contestants start 
out in the outer rung of the tournament tree and must 
battle their way from the preliminaries (or semi or quar¬ 
ter finals if less than 16 contestants} to the finals. A loss 
against any opponent means elimination from the 
tournament,} 

NOTE — 

in both Single and Double Elimination tournaments , 
the top player is controller h 



17 






* Double Elimination 

Similar to Single Elimination, with the addi¬ 
tion that each fighter can lose two matches before 
being eliminated, 

* Round-A-Boul 

Players take turns choosing from the stable of fighters, 
until at! players have the same number of characters 
(from 4 to 10 each), Players then match off with their 
choices, and losing characters are eliminated from the 
contest. The player who defeats all the other player's 
characters is the winner, 

* Round Robin 

Players take turns choosing from the stable of fighters 
until all players have the same number. Each player then 
begins at the first chosen fighter and battles the other 
playerfs), A victory means the winner can advance to 
the next character. A loss means the players stays on the 
same character, 

* Dominator 

first,, players agree on a what constitutes a win domina¬ 
tion, Next, each player chooses the specified number of 
fighters. Then the players battle it out, alternating 
characters before each fight. Each victory results in a 
win icon moving left or right on the win scale. When 
the win icon advances aJI the way to one side, that 
player wins. This is a kind of tug-o-war, where one 
player can win all but the Iasi match needed, then ihe 
other player drags ihe win icon all the way back to the 
other side, only to have it pulled back again, and so on. 
Dominator tournaments could go on for days , , , 



Survivor 

The player or players choose a fighter, then 
face the CPU characters in single-round 
matches. After each fight, players who survive 
get back one-third of their health. Combat continues 


’tf J 


until one player loses or defeats all characters {no! an 
easy feat!). In two-pi ay er co m pet i ti o n, p I a yers alternate 
against the CPU until one player loses. If both players 
make it to the end, they fight each other in a tie-breaker. 


Expert Survivor 

Like Survivor, except the player or players amass points 
for each battle, depending on how well they do. Points 
are given for time remaining, killing the opponent, 
pulling off a power combo, and so on. In two-player 
tournaments, winners are decided by points rather than 
by how far they advance. 

Point Match 

All players or teams choose a group of fighters and then 
battle each other until all the characters on one side 
have fought all the characters on the other side. For 
example, in 3-on-3 situation tournaments, players fight a 
total of 9 battles. Players receive 100 points for each 
win. After all the battles have been fought, the points are 
totaled and a winner is declared. 

Expert Point Match 

Similar to Point Match, with the addition of points 
awarded for perfect wins, kills and power combos. 

Sell-Your-Soul 

Point Match with a twist. After all battles have been 
fought, each player's points are totaled. The percentage 
of wins is allotted to that player's health bar for one last 
battle, with a champion chosen to represent each side. 
For example, in a 9 -battle situation, if one side wins 8 
battles, that players health bar will be set to about 88%. 
The other player, who won one battle, receives II % of 
full health. The last battle is fought, and the winner of 
decides the winner for each side. 


19 






* Possession 

Each player chooses characters, who then 
face off and do battle. Losing characters are not 
eliminated; instead, they're added to the winning 
side. The player who acquires all the characters wins, 


* Russian Roulette 

Players are chosen, face off, and do battle. Losing 
characters are not necessarily affected, but their side 
definitely is. After a loss, the CPU randomly selects and 
blows away a fighter from the losing side. The team that 
survives, wins. 


* Sudden Death 

Characters are chosen, face off, and fight. Battles are 
short: 30 seconds and 1 of 1 matches. Losing characters 
are eliminated. The surviving side wins, 

* Death Match 

Players choose characters, and the players or sides face 
off. Battles are fought in Point Tournament style, except 
that characters, when killed, are removed from the 
battle. At the end of all the matches, the side with the 
most kills wins. 


* Count-Down 

Similar to Survivor, except that characters race against 
time instead of health loss. Players must defeat all 
opponents within a pre-set time, or die trying.

SCREEN INDICATORS 



Life Bar 

Your Life Bar decreases every time you're injured, whether 
by a physical blow or a hit from an assailant's energy 
weapon, You can diminish your opponent's Life Bar with 
well-aimed attacks. When a Life Bar vanishes, that fighter is 
vanquished. There is no way to refill or restore your Life 
Bar, so make sure your opponent's Life Bar disappears faster 
than your own. 


1mi«r Strength Orb 

Your Inner Strength Orb reveals how much strength you 
have. When the Orb is full, your powers are at their highest 
and you can perform all your special moves. But each 
attack consumes some strength. As the Orb diminishes, so 
does your ability to use special moves. Defend yourself with 
kicks, punches or dodges while the Orb regenerates. The 
Orb flashes when your strength is completely used up. For 
unlimited strength, set Inner Strength Orbs OFF on the 
Options sub-menu (seepage 16). 



























GAME SPECIALTIES 


Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side 
has many fighting combinations, A combination is a series 
of unb lockable hits (usually 3 or more) that are strung 
together by a skilled, creative player. Yon will see the CPU 
(or another player) doing these to you: watch carefully so 
you can learn how they are done. If you're on the receiving 
end enough times, you'll learn enough for some pay back. 


Here's a tip for novice champions: most combinations start 
with a jumping attack and end with a Special or Skill move 
(This Is usually the case, although it is not the rule.) Some 
normal moves have built-in combinations of up to 3 lilts; 
Special and Skill moves have as many as ten. The trick is 
mixing them together to do your enemy some real damage. 


JwssHns 

Juggling is another trick in the skilled player's repertoire. 
Juggling refers to hitting opponents, knocking them off the 
ground, then hilling them again while they are still in the air, 
This forces an unblockabte hit, since the enemy cannot 
block while in the air. Juggling can compliment your combi¬ 
nations, You can also use it alone to add an extra hit or two 
that the enemy cannot block. 


Power Ctfmtu? 

The Power Combo is unique to Eternal Champions. It 
requires a very skilled player, and, when done successfully, 
rewa rds you wi th 10 scco nds of u n I i m i ted strength, When 
you activate it (we won't tell you how), your Inner Strength 
icon changes to the Eternal Champions Bushido symbol, and 
you hear the Eternal Champion announce your accomplish¬ 
ment. When it's activated, don't hold back. Unlimited inner 
strength is a precious and fleeting gift. 


34 



The Dark Champion has entered the contest not 
onty in physicaI form butspift i tuaIlyas well. ITis 
evil influence is so strong that in the heat of battle, 
the otherwise noble participants can lose control and kill , 
The negative energies the contestants then exude both 
pervert the Eternal Champion s tournament (making him 
weaker) and further empower the Dark Champion. Wel¬ 
come to the Dark Side. 


Vendettas are personal kills; that is, they are kills generated 
by one character against another. Each of the 13 characters 
has a Vendetta move, and they can be used against any or 
he other characters. We won't tell you how to do them, but 
we will tell you that they can be pulled off in combat,, 
depleting your enemy's health bar and finishing the fight in a 
very brutal fashion! Beware — the CPU can do them to you 
as well! 


Cftickfff* 

just as the Eternal Champion s keep is a place os honor and 
purity the Dark Champion's chamber is a place of horror — 
a hell away from hell , From his nightmarish keep, the Dark 
Champion watches the contest , waiting for a moment of 
weakness on the battlefield it is then that he strikes, 
spiriting a loser away, into his dark chamber. The Dark 
Champion then personally finishes off the losers, turning the 
contestants' greatest fears as lethal weapons against them , A 
contestant who makes it as lar as the Dark Champion, and 
loses , faces the same dark fate< 

Cinekills are player-activated, similar to Vendettas, but 
require very skilled gameplay on the part of the victor. 1 he 
winner who pulls it off is treated to a 3D rendered, full- 
motion-video kill of his enemy, compliments of the Dark 
Champion, 









Overkills 

Fighting can be dangerous, particularly in hostile 
environments* t Jnfortunatciv for the conlestants. 
EVERY battlefield in the Eternal Champion's 
tournament is a hostile environment , If you end the fight in 
a certain way in just the right place, the loser becomes 
background soup. Crackers, anyone? 

Overkills, introduced in the first Eternal Champions , are 
back, easier to pull off and bloodier than even In addilion, 
all new backgrounds and hidden backgrounds have overkills 
too. Hopefully, you will discover them when you are on the 
giving side, rather than the receiving, 

Svfofccn Deaths 

Being kicked into a giant fan or thrown into a neon sign as 
the coup de grace to a long , hard-fought battle can be rough 
But being offed by the background while still a healthy 
participant? Now, that's harsh. 

Sudden Deaths are just what they sound like — sudden and 
fatal. They are background-related kills and all backgrounds 
(including the hidden ones) have them. Although harder to 
do than overkills, they can be activated whether the loser is 
still relatively healthy. Master these and ruin someone's day. 

Htbbew CkarACtertf 

There are 9 hidden characters, plus 2 other player-controlled 
surprises, somewhere in the game. Once a hidden character 
Is found, he is yours to keep. The new character will be 
saved to ROM on the Sega CD, and will be added to the 
roster every time you turn on the machine. Some chidden 
characters come with new backgrounds (complete with 
background music, Overkills and Sudden Deaths), and 
others still have their own Vendettas. Of course, we won't 
tell you how to find them, but we will tell you this: play and 
play a lot. , , you're bound to stumble on one or two!

tUpkffro Camc ¥i$hiSn$ 

Hapkido is a Korean martial art founded by Yong Shu I Choi. Its style is a 
selective combination of several martial arts systems: power from karate, 
leverage from judo and ki (spirit)- from aikido, Hapkido is distinguished by 
three essential techniques: passivity when opposing force, circular move¬ 
ments for countering and attacking, and absolute penetration of the opponent's 
defenses. Lor instance, if (he force is strong, it must be met with a soft 
reception; if the force is weak, it must be met with a strong reception. This 
union of techniques establishes a fluid and perpetual rhythm as well as 
constant mobility. Almost all hits and defensive actions are performed with 
the carte, which is used in place os the arms and legs.
