SFC: Space Fighting Championship

SFC: Space Fighting Championship is a fighting game developed by Draconian Games and published by The Deviant Fighting Company, released on December 24, 2019, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows via Steam. It's the sixth game in the DraconianVerse.
==Gameplay==
Space Fighting Championship is a 3D fighter inspired in the following games: Star Gladiator - Episode I: The Final Crusade, Galaxy Fight, Bio F.R.E.A.K.S and FX Fighter with some elements of the Soul Calibur series, the Killer Instinct series and Buriki One added in the mix, with a four-button scheme composed of two weapon attacks/punches, one kick and one guard button.
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.
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.
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.
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). 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.
==Story==
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.
==Characters==
Space Fighting Championship launched with 12 initial characters, plus 8 unlockables, including the sub-boss Ramaskus and the final boss Emperor Orbulus.
