Hmmm...since you mention it: *Larcen.* Original death: Killed by an exploding bomb he was delivering. Cinekill: Killed by a bomb exploding inside his body. *Slash.* Original death: Killed by lapidation, being pelted to death with stones. Cinekill: Turned into one big stone. *Trident.* Original death: Crushed under a pillar rigged to collapse. Cinekill: Crushed under the Dark Champion's foot. *Midknight.* Original death: Died a vampire's death with a stake through the heart. Cinekill: Died a vampire's death by exposure to direct sunlight. *RAX.* Original death: Died when a computer virus destroyed his cybernetics. Cinekill: Died when _physiological rejection_ destroyed his cybernetics, EWWW! *Ramses III.* Original death: Fell into water and drowned. Cinekill: Turned into water. I think the rest of the Cinekills are meant to be ironic in regards to details about the fighter's life or appearance, though. *Blade.* Life: He's a pretty big dude. Cinekill: The Dark Champion makes him tiny and squishes him. *Jetta.* Life: Wore colorful ribbons as part of her acrobat costume (and hangs herself or other people with them). Cinekill: Gets lifted up and somehow shredded by those ribbons. *Shadow.* Life: Carried shuriken and used them as an assassin. Cinekill: Killed by a barrage of shuriken. *Xavier.* Life: Sought to unlock the world's secrets through alchemy. Cinekill: Is given all the power in the world, but it's too much for him to handle, so he implodes. *Dawson.* Life: Carried firearms but refused to use them. Cinekill: Gunned down by the Dark Champion's "finger gun". *Raven.* Life: Had a huge tattoo of a snake (one of Voodoo's creatures of power) all up and down her leg. Cinekill: The snake comes alive and kills her. *Riptide.* Life: Was a privateer and a seafarer. Cinekill: Killed by a kraken...or something...maybe. I'm unsure about this one. All in all, the Cinekills are all a bit heavy with the irony, aren't they? :-)

There was a third game in early development. But it was an ambitious project where all the characters were fighting for dominion over the timeline. It was gonna have 30 endings and based on the direction the story went the characters appearance will change as does the stages. Sega pulled the plug on it.

They should’ve given the secret characters Cinekills as well. I could totally see Blast’s Cinekill being impaled to death by punji spikes or blown up by a grenade or even succumbing to napalm as his skin and clothes burn, as he suffocated to death and dies while the Dark Champion laughs evilly.

Loved the atmosphere of that game, so dark and ominous. The controls weren't the tightest, and you 100% HAD to have the 6 button controller to even think about playing this game, well if you wanted to win anyways. I've been hoping they eventually revive this series, even just a remaster of EC: Challenge from the Dark Side. I think they could pull off a brand new game though . Doesn't even have to be 3D, just like SF is still 2D just with more modern artwork and fighter models.
So did no one else have a cenekill ?. It's been a very long time since i've played this so i don't remember. I think they need to remake this for the consoles of today.
There's a reason they don't have cinekills, is because they're "evil" characters saved by the Dark Eternal Champion to destroy the Good Eternal Champion's plan to save humanity, so he wouldn't want them dead.
Depends. It's pretty much one of those games you'll have to play to figure out if you like it or not. Some people like it other don't. Pros include a large roster of characters (including characters that can be unlocked by secret methods or by cheats as an alternative.), a really well written story that has to do with the balance between good and evil and quantum metaphysics, and gory fatalities (well aside from the Cinekills above, which are pretty tame by comparison.) cons include stiff controls, high learning curve for new players (hell I'm still learning and I've been playing off and on since 2009), potential infinite combos, and a dickish AI that only gets worse as you raise the difficulty. And no, sadly the game hasn't been rereleased yet and probably never will be because Sega refuses to port or emulate any games for Sega CD other than Sonic games.. Now the first game in the series for Genesis/Mega Drive has been released for several consoles via an emulated title. Among them are the Wii virtual console. The first game isn't nearly as violent and has fewer characters, it's also harder as it only has one difficulty for Contest mode. in Other words, the learning curve is even steeper. If you have any more questions about the game, let me know and I'll try and answer them.
I believe Blast’s Cinekill would’ve had one of the three options. Option 1: Impaled to death by Punji Spikes Option 2: Blown up by a grenade with it’s pin off. Option 3: Is covered in napalm, which gives him so much unbearable, severely intense pain that it kills him as it burns off his skin, hair, clothes, muscles and organs as well as his bones as Blast succumbs to death by asphyxiation.
No, i had a website up in 97 and did an interview with the creator of ec. At the end after beating the eternal and dark champion a sorta of cinekill animation is unlocked and actual shadows of the ec3 characters are revealed, unfortunately the ec crew had a falling out and despite an online petition and magazines suggesting an ec3 on i believe dreamcast, ec3 became a discontinued idea. A film maker even wanted to create an ec movie sorta like the mortal kombat films to help revive it, but it was lost as well. Its a shame, i love eternal champions
+Beau Worth Well at the time I hadn't realized Hooter was the king of Triggering Cinekills. So I just used the Eternal's Millipede form which had a good chance of it for me in the past. lol. Also sorry for the two months without a reply. I just now saw this comment. lol.
+glitchhunter09 Edited my comment, but for some reason I swore I didn't see any comments. Maybe it was Google fucking with me. Anyway, I honestly never really did them, so I wouldn't know who's consistent. It's simply crazy that the person that'-s supposed to save lives is instead making them die. Also, an owl? I forgot how good this game was.
The cinekills were a mixed bag. For every awesome one like RAX and Trident, you get lame ones like Slash and Xavier. I'd say just stick to stage fatalities.
Id say if you didn't like it use the other ways to finish off the opponents its always good to have variety. Apparently a lot players loved the cinekills
Hm... I came here from TVTropes that mentioned how they were all killed ironically. I probably don't get irony as well as I should but... some of those deaths didn't seem very ironic. That's not even going into how some of the deaths were hard to see what was happening.
videostarlet Each of the characters is killed in a manner corresponding to their own theme. For instance, the prehistoric dude is turned to STONE because he is from the STONE age.
DracoHandsome Not just that, he was "stoned" to death by his caveman peers because they feared his intelligence and felt his ideas were dangerous. The Dark EC takes this and makes the phrase "Stoned" become literal.
bleeduntildeath Well it's indirectly connected to the way each character died. I've actually talked to the Executive Producer and creator of the game, Michael Latham. Haven't been able to get him to describe the meaning of each death though unfortunately. (he's a very busy man and rarely has time to talk)
you have to do a big enough. c stun the opponent with the infinate inner strength active when their health is low. You have to chain a big enough combo to get infinate inner strength.
honestly I think the dark champion should have smashed him to bits afterwards but the idea was supposed to be symbolic of how he died. he was stoned to death in life and Dark Champion made this quite literal by turning him into stone.
i'm don't insult but, the cinekills have very poor effects , and lose with mortal kombat 9 fatalities ,sorry :( , but the line ''To your death'' is epic
I actually agree with you. They're not the only finishers in this game but they're the only ones that make use of the Sega CD's FMV feature in the game. Something also interesting to note is that there's very little color loss in this game's FMVs. (which is something that happened in most other Sega CD games with FMVs) as for the other fatality types in this game, they are typical sprite based fatalities. Those are far more graphic though. (there's Overkills, Vendettas, and Sudden Deaths)
You gotta admit though, this was incredible for its time. But yeah, MK9 and MKX's Fatalities definitely look a lot better. Isn't it amazing how technology has evolved over the years?
all i know is some of them are very vague representations of their deaths and personal fears surrounding them while others are more obvious. Like Larcen getting blown up and feeling helpless to do anything represents his failure to throw the bomb out the window.
The fact that most of the cinekills allude to the champions' original deaths in some way is... actually quite surprising.
Hmmm...since you mention it:
*Larcen.* Original death: Killed by an exploding bomb he was delivering. Cinekill: Killed by a bomb exploding inside his body.
*Slash.* Original death: Killed by lapidation, being pelted to death with stones. Cinekill: Turned into one big stone.
*Trident.* Original death: Crushed under a pillar rigged to collapse. Cinekill: Crushed under the Dark Champion's foot.

*RAX.* Original death: Died when a computer virus destroyed his cybernetics. Cinekill: Died when _physiological rejection_ destroyed his cybernetics, EWWW!
*Ramses III.* Original death: Fell into water and drowned. Cinekill: Turned into water.
I think the rest of the Cinekills are meant to be ironic in regards to details about the fighter's life or appearance, though.
*Blade.* Life: He's a pretty big dude. Cinekill: The Dark Champion makes him tiny and squishes him.
*Jetta.* Life: Wore colorful ribbons as part of her acrobat costume (and hangs herself or other people with them). Cinekill: Gets lifted up and somehow shredded by those ribbons.
*Shadow.* Life: Carried shuriken and used them as an assassin. Cinekill: Killed by a barrage of shuriken.
*Xavier.* Life: Sought to unlock the world's secrets through alchemy. Cinekill: Is given all the power in the world, but it's too much for him to handle, so he implodes.

Depends. It's pretty much one of those games you'll have to play to figure out if you like it or not. Some people like it other don't.
Pros include a large roster of characters (including characters that can be unlocked by secret methods or by cheats as an alternative.), a really well written story that has to do with the balance between good and evil and quantum metaphysics, and gory fatalities (well aside from the Cinekills above, which are pretty tame by comparison.)
cons include stiff controls, high learning curve for new players (hell I'm still learning and I've been playing off and on since 2009), potential infinite combos, and a dickish AI that only gets worse as you raise the difficulty.

Too bad their isn't cinekills for Blast, Senator, and Chin wo along with those animal characters. I wonder what their cinekill would be?
I believe Blast’s Cinekill would’ve had one of the three options.
Option 1: Impaled to death by Punji Spikes
Option 2: Blown up by a grenade with it’s pin off.
Option 3: Is covered in napalm, which gives him so much unbearable, severely intense pain that it kills him as it burns off his skin, hair, clothes, muscles and organs as well as his bones as Blast succumbs to death by asphyxiation.

it feels like they really wussed out on cinekilling the ladies, guess even for a tasteless franchise like this, that was a bridge to far.
Tasteless comment this is
*Too* far. And I wouldn't say that, after seeing Shadow's. Even Jetta's did show blood splatters.
Still don understans jetta's
all i know is some of them are very vague representations of their deaths and personal fears surrounding them while others are more obvious. Like Larcen getting blown up and feeling helpless to do anything represents his failure to throw the bomb out the window.
From the psx games from the 90's.

Shadow's cinekill has to be my favorite; I love the idea of the shuriken-using assassin being killed by her own weapons.
Agreed. The greater realization though
-is the wall which appears.
It's like, idk...indecent exposure.
Must be ninjitsu season...
hope they remake this game with online mode hehe
Sorry. I was going alphabetically. =(
