Eternal Champions was hard? Im no good at fighting games and I took that game to the end easily. Slash or Xavier were my guys. Larcen was great too. I didn't like Jetta or the undead vampire guy who fought in the vietnamese looking place. Anyhow, one of the sweetest things in that game was all the cool scenario deaths. Like in the prehistoric stage (slash's) if you do the final blow so that your opponents head and torso are off the screen on the left side, a dinosaur comes and eats the fallen foe.

Hydlide to me was an incredibly hard game, but that was because controls sucked so bad.
