History Videogame / StarGladiator

''Star Gladiator Episode I: Final Crusade'' is one of the lesser-known fighting games in Creator/{{Capcom}}'s long list of fighters, notable for being Capcom's first attempt to make a mark in the 3D world of fighting games like ''VideoGame/VirtuaFighter'', ''VideoGame/BattleArenaToshinden'', ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'', and the ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soul]]'' series in the 90's. Capcom did try hard to make the game different from the others by using a different hardware for the original {{PlayStation}}, similar to the ''VideoGame/StreetFighterEX'' series and the first ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' game on the same build. ''Star Gladiator'' has a [[ManaMeter Plasma Gauge]], similar to most Capcom fighting games at the time, but what set it apart from the others was the fact that different command inputs (via a specific fighting combo) were required in order to make the Plasma Strike (super move) work.

Despite the effort on the {{PlayStation}} with the other Capcom games, ''Star Gladiator'' did not set the benchmark for 3D fighters like ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' did with 2D fighters. However, ''Star Gladiator'' did manage to warrant a sequel for the arcades in 1998 and later ported to Sega Dreamcast in 2000, which was called ''Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein'' ([[OddlyNamedSequel originally]], ''Star Gladiator 2'' in Japan). ''Plasma Sword'' had dropped the first game's Plasma Combo System in favor of the traditional ''Street Fighter''-esque method of unleashing super moves, which was called the Plasma Strike System and also, ''Plasma Sword'' had introduced fourteen new characters into the series, though ten of them (aside from their character designs and original stories) had mirrored most of the original cast in terms of weaponry and movesets.

While the series hasn't seen another entry since, a few characters from the series have made cameo appearances in various Capcom crossover games (''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2'', ''[[VideoGame/CapcomVsSNKMillenniumFight2000 Capcom vs. SNK]]'', the ''[[VideoGame/SNKVsCapcom SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash]]'' series, ''VideoGame/CapcomFightingEvolution[=/=]Jam'', ''VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom: [[UpdatedRerelease Ultimate All-Stars]]'', ''[[UpdatedRerelease Ultimate]] VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', and ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone 2'').

* TheCameo: [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ryu]] makes a surprising cameo appearance in Gantetsu's true ending from within ''Plasma Sword''. Of course, it could either be a cosplayer or Ryu's own descendant from within the ending itself.

The story of ''Star Gladiator'' takes place from within [[TheFuture the future year]] of 2348, in which intergalactic travel is very common and that mankind is able to interact with many different alien species. Dr. Edward Bilstein: a Nobel Prize-winning German-American prestigious physicist for the Earth Federation, uncovers the secret to humanity's "sixth sense": a technique for capturing the energy of the human mind and discovers how to use it as a new type of energy source called Plasma Power. While Bilstein is able to gain fame and fortune for his discovery of Plasma Power, the Earth Federation initiates a private investigation into the matter and is shocked to learn and discover that Bilstein had used actual human bodies during his Plasma Power experiments. Through this horrifying revelation, Bilstein is arrested and exiled from Earth for his heinous crimes, being placed in a floating prison satellite that orbits the Planet Zeta. Four years later, Bilstein, who is now in a cybernetic body, escapes from the prison and gathers his own cadre of fighters and forces, calling his new group "The Fourth Empire" and declaring his [[TakeOverTheWorld personal conquest]] of the [[GalacticConqueror universe]]. Realizing that Bilstein must be stopped at all costs, the Earth Federation decides to gather people who are able to use Plasma Power from within their own given right and attempt to destroy the Fourth Empire before they're able to conquer Earth and the rest of the universe.

The character roster is rather small but somewhat memorable for a fighting game and Capcom did a good job to make an effort in giving the series some depth, similar to that of the ''Franchise/StarWars'' franchise. This game introduced us to several unique faces with their own unique weapons.

* CityPlanet: The said fate of Earth after the events of Plasma Sword. It has been said it was so bad, those wanting a glimpse of nature would have to travel to other planets to experience its beauty again.

* MultipleEndings: Whether or not you continue in ''Plasma Sword'' determines your character's ending. If they have to continue anywhere from Stages 1 to 8, they get an abridged ending, while defeating the eight opponent without continuing grants a battle against each character's TrueFinalBoss, which yields the extended, true conclusion of that person's storyline.

* WholePlotReference: To ''StarWars'', natch. The characters use lightsaber-esque weapons, and Hayato and Blistein are respectively the {{expy}} of [[TheHero Luke Skywalker]] and [[BigBad Darth Vader]], minus the [[LukeIAmYourFather familial ties]].
* Zeerust: Not exactly in technology per say, but June's backstory has it, as her Hong Kong was still under British rule. The game was released nearly a year before the official transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong on July 17th, 1997.

Originally, Star Gladiator was to be a collaboration effort with LucasArts for a Star Wars fighting game, but as they were making ''Masters of Teras-Kai'', Capcom decided to make their own 3D space and Star Wars esque fighter. Suffice to say, it did better than what LucasArts' pushed out at the time to rival the game.

The character roster is rather small but somewhat memorable for a fighting game and Capcom did a good job to make an effort in giving the series some depth, similar to that of the ''StarWars'' franchise. This game introduced us to several unique faces with their own weapons:

* ''Hayato Kanzaki'' with his long neon green [[YouWannaGetSued plasma]] [[LaserBlade sword]] that grows in length to strike down opponents.
* ''June Lin Milliam'' with [[RingsOfDeath a large golden ring]] and [[KickChick the use of strong kicks]] and [[SheFu flips]] similar to ''StreetFighter'''s Chun-Li.
* ''Saturn Dyer'' with the set of [[KillerYoyo dual yo-yos]] and being the comic relief as [[CheshireCatGrin having an ever present smile on his face]].
* ''Gamof Gohgry'' with the single big [[AnAxeToGrind axe]] and [[WrestlerInAllOfUs grappling moves]] like [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Zangief]].
* ''Franco Gerelt'' being stylish and elegant as a gentleman with the [[RoyalRapier plasma rapier]].
* ''Zelkin Fiskekrogen'', the royal blue [[WingedHumanoid humanoid bird man]] who wields a [[WolverineClaws plasma claw]] and uses a similar fighting style much like his [[TheRival rival]] Hayato.
* ''Vector'' being the series' [[KillerRobot robot]] made by Bilstein, equipped with a [[RayGun Plasma gun]] and the ability to shoot laser beams from its red visor.
* ''Rimgal'', the oddest fighter in the whole game for being a yellow and blue colored [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs dinosaur]] and wielding a [[BadWithTheBone bone club]].
* ''Gore Gajah'' with his [[MagicWand magic staff]] that [[TakenForGranite turns others to stone]] or [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever increases his size to a giant-esque proportions]].
* And finally ''Dr. Edward Bilstein'' being the series' [[BigBad Darth Vader]] with the intimidating cold armor and [[{{BFS}} a large broadsword]].

The notable exceptions to this rule were ''Rain'', ''Kaede'', ''Byakko'', and ''Rai-on'', who respectively brandished a plasma [[SinisterScythe scythe]] (Rain), a plasma [[DropTheHammer hammer]] (Kaede), and [[DualWielding dual]] plasma [[WolverineClaws claws]] (Byakko and Rai-on).
