Superior Soldiers

Superior Soldiers, known in Japan as Perfect Soldiers (パーフェクトソルジャーズ?), is a 1993 fighting arcade game developed and published by Irem. It was created during the fighting game trend of the 1990s that began with Capcom's Street Fighter II. Several graphic designers of this and several other Irem titles later moved to SNK, and designed the graphics of the Metal Slug and The King of Fighters franchises.

[edit] Plot

The game takes place on an Earth-like planet in the same universe of R-Type, another arcade game by Irem. The date is August 1999. 90% of the human population died by an unknown energy later named "Force". Cities and other places became severely damaged. The 10% later became cyborgs to protect themselves, as well as to create a new humankind.
[edit] Gameplay

Superior Soldiers is space-themed and plays similarly to other 2D versus fighting games during its release, which the player's character fights against his or her opponent in best two-out-of-three matches in a single player tournament mode with the computer or against another human player. The player has a character roster of seven playable fighters to choose from, and one unplayable boss, each with their own unique fighting style and special techniques. Players also can perform dashing and charging attacks. One unique feature this fighting game introduced during its release was the ability to perform large jumps in an X axis. In one player mode, after selecting a character, the arcade randomly selects an opponent. The opponent order goes randomly and always leaves the final boss last.
