First I'll say that I love the Eternal Champions Game.

Now as far as the thread goes. No, I hope they are a lot more graphic and elaborate than the ones found in Eternal Champions. EC is a great game put it' deaths weren't all that much to write home about. Maybe at that time, but not now. Also as far as a special combo being needed goes...there won't be. You simply look for the red colored mark on the floor and try to knock your opponent that way. It's as simple as that.

aaah...Eternal Champions, how I loved that game. The goretacular Sega CD version was magnificent too. But in some respects, yes the death traps will be similar in that you must nail your opponent with a move that will send them into the correct part of the stage. As we have seen in the videos, as well as what was confirmed in some of the magazine updates, characters will now have 'launch' moves, that propel enemies away from or behind the character, which will make Death Traps easier. Scorpion does it in the first ever footage.

Eternal Champions didn't need a combo for a death move to be done. In fact it was pretty much as the death traps in MKD are now - all you had to do was beat up your opponent til they were pretty much dead, then deliver the final blow when they were stood in a specific place.

Eternal Champions is the best fighter ever made !!!!
***alongside with Street Fighter 2 ***
