WI/AHC: Eternal Champions gets as big as Mortal Kombat and/or Street Fighter

For the story, how about introduce an enemy who is evil and is trying to usurp the eternal champion so he can gain that power to do as he sees fit.
 
1994?


"As Big As Mortal Kombat/Street Fighter"?

ASB as fuck unless you upgrade the shitty story, shitty graphics on par with Tekken.

NOTHING will beat Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter during that period unless you got INNOVATION AND GRAPHICS AND GOOD GAMEPLAY-like what Tekken and Virtua Fighter had.
 
What you would need is Sega to keep the IP going on in a manner that actually gets people's interests. Rather than two games expanding the franchise which received rather bad reviews, focusing on the core gameplay of the original and expanding it would work best. It'd be hard to get to the level of more popular games in the genre to say the least, but with proper management, it might be possible to gain to the level of something like Tekken.

I mean over time.
 
The only fighting game series that had potential to become as big as MK, Tekken or SF were, in order (note: I am not counting Smash- Smash and the traditional FGC do NOT view themselves as in the same genre)

Samurai Shodown- this was SNK's big hit in the US. SamSho 1 and 2 had huge lines in the arcades. It's chance was ruined by a disasterous third installment, and decline of SNK in general.

Virtua Fighter- this was undone not by gameplay, but by Sega making the VF3 machine too expensive for declining arcades, and the failure of Sega's consoles. Make Sega less stupid and VF becomes a mainstay at Evo.

Tekken- for a while this was a big, but Tekken 4 flopped, Namco started playing it too conservative, and Tekken fans slowly declined in the US to the point the game is no longer considered major. (Tekken 7 will flop on console)
