Disaster Club

Disaster Club is a fighting game made by Bladeware and published by SEGA. It follows the adventures of the Powers Club after A Different Kind of Normal.
An enhanced version of the game called Disaster Club Complete was released for PS5 and Xbox Series X. The game came with all the previous DLC, a new character, new moves for the whole cast and some additional game modes. Owners of the original DC received the new content as a free update.
==Plot Synopsis==
For full plot, see here.
Disaster Club is a fight club made in Westopolis made in the late 1800s, offering spectators fights between superpowered individuals that can’t be seen elsewhere. Natalie Walker had heard of the club from her friend, Rugal, who had fought there previously. However, Natalie’s old friend Marcee Archer has arrived looking for another of their friends, and a tip told her he was in Disaster Club. The Powers Club are seen embroiled in a battle for ownership of the club, but there are more forces at work here...
==Gameplay==
For a full breakdown of the gameplay and the control scheme, see here.
The game uses 3D graphics but plays out on a 2D field like other 2.5D fighting games.
The gameplay is based off other anime fighters like Blazblue and Guilty Gear, featuring a combo system offering a large variety of combos and a prominent air game. However, the game has been simplified a large amount, featuring standardised inputs for special moves and a specific button for command normals in order to attract new players or other Sonic fans who haven’t played similar fighting games before, but still give it a level of depth for those well versed in the medium of fighting games. It also features several mechanics to stop common fighting game problems, like being unable to escape from the corner or spamming projectiles.

On a character’s first run through the mode, they unlock a music track from the Sonic series for the Jukebox and on their second run they unlock a special character-dependent reward. The arcade also has difficulties ranging from very easy to very hard.

==Trivia==
*The game was planned to include the assassin who killed Walter Kable as a playable character and the reason Bladedancer was sent to the Disaster Club as he was becoming a liability knowing Kable the Fox ordered the murder of his father. However, this was ditched early into development seeing it would distance Bladedancer from the rest of the plot, although he may reappear one day.
**Tel-Eth was also meant to appear as a secret boss, but he was replaced by Infinite due to fitting the story better.
**Infinite was also planned to be a pre-order bonus, but this was ditched from the final game.
*On all stages of the game, there is a 1.998% chance Big the Cat will appear in the background. He only appears in Story Mode on repeat playthroughs.
