= 1. PLOT OUTLINE: =
In the year of 2118, Orbulus, the infamous emperor of planet Keblius, has subjugated every single planet through despotic methods, forcing its denizens to kneel before him as slaves for his dictatorship. He also controls the galactic media through political propaganda, eliminating every single trace of opposition with ease.
Orbulus is also the organizer of the Space Fighting Championship, a competitive tournament done every 100 Keblian years (equivalent to 4 Earth years) like his ancestors before him, in which the winner is prized with high honors, while the losers are forced to see their planets being destroyed forever. However, the past winners are no longer shown in the galaxy after their participation.
The story focuses on two humans from our planet: Timothy Simmons, an American space marine, and Megumi Hashimoto, a Japanese cyber samurai. Both will inspire hope to the entire universe by competing in the tournament, and to put end to Orbulus' dictatorship once and for all.
= 2. THE ROSTER: =
The game starts with 12 playable characters and 6 unlockables, with the Emperor Orbulus himself being one of them. DLC characters divided in two season passes are programmed to be released soon.

= 3. WHAT TO TAKE NOTE: =
* Space Fighting Championship plays like the following games: Star Gladiator - Episode I: The Final Crusade, Galaxy Fight and FX Fighter with some elements of the Soul Calibur series, the Killer Instinct series and Buriki One added in the mix. The gameplay format is 3D.
* The button settings are based on the Soul Calibur series, with two weapon attack buttons (non-weapon users attack with punches instead), one kick button and one guard button.
* The Super Moves of the game are the Mighty Skills. To perform, you must have at least one level of the Mighty Indicator, with two levels at maximum and pressing the three attack buttons. A special Post-KO pose after the Mighty Skill is shown after you defeat your opponent, regardless of the round.
* The Finishing Moves of the game are the Glorious Finishes. To perform them, you must press the three attack buttons and the guard button only if you connect the Mighty Skill first, having your earlier rounds won (first by default) and your opponent's health is below 25%. The victory cutscenes are skipped after performing the Glorious Finish.
* Every stage in the game takes place in open areas and Ring Outs can happen during the matches. However, this doesn't mean an automatic loss. Once the Ring Out is done, the one who fell from the arena must return to it in order to continue the match.
* Before starting the fight, the camera focuses on the viewport of the stage while the in-game announcer mentions a narration, similar to most of the the Soul Calibur games.
* The match-point Instant Replays are also featured, complete with narration from the announcer. You can move the camera freely during the Instant Replays. After that, the next round begins immediately.
* Following the tradition, the Story Mode has 7 regular matches, followed by the Championship Finals rival match being the eighth battle, the sub-boss battle against Ramaskus and finally, the final battle against Emperor Orbulus himself. Interlude cutscenes are also included, with the characters interacting with each other right before the fight and then after the fight. Note that during these matches, you cannot perform the Glorious Finishes.
* A special cinematic cutscene is presented in form of the SFC Battle Report, which is a news program about this very tournament and what's happening behind the scenes hosted by two bumbling yellow skinned alien sports commentators named Twi-Dee (the obese alien) and Twi-Dum (the skinny alien). Twi-Dee is voiced by Scott Porter (English)/Masakazu Morita (Japanese)/Miguel Ángel Leal (Latin American Spanish) and Twi-Dum is voiced by Nolan North (English)/Yuji Ueda (Japanese)/Gabriel Ortiz (Latin American Spanish). They can be seen like the following:
** The first time you start with the game.
** Each time a season pass begins.
** After the interlude matches in the Story Mode.
* The game runs in 60 frames per second (including the intro and victory sequences, Mighty Skills and Glorious Finishes), except the cinematic opening and the SFC Battle Report cutscenes, which runs in 24 frames per second and the story mode sequences running in 30 frames per second.
* Unreal Engine 4 is the official to-go game engine I picked for every Draconian Games production, including this game idea.
* In some endings, there are times that Orbulus ends up killed by some competitors, possibly traitors to his cause or competitors who actually want him dead. However, these parts will be non-canon, as Orbulus might come back later in a future DraconianVerse game.
* This game also includes licensed music for the corresponding characters' stages. The music themes go accord to the characters' motifs. The opening theme, "Save Me" by Remy Zero, is also the Championship Finals theme.
* The Training Center stage is a planetarium-themed arena that takes place in a Justice League-styled watchtower. The open arena takes place in a floating platform and the background has holograms of the competitors' home planets.
* SFC: Space Fighting Championship also features the two season pass DLC guests: The Deviant Fighters for the first and the licensed characters for the second. Stay tuned for their respective announcement trailers!
* The in-game announcers I picked for the game are: Paul St. Peter (English), Norio Wakamoto (Japanese) and Mario Arvizu (Latin American Spanish).
* As with Reign of Violence, there will be lighthearted moments.
