All of Earth's hopes rest in the project codenamed 'Star Gladiator'.

Realizing their pattern of attacks is leading back to Earth, a panicked Earth Federation searches for people who can utilize Plasma Power in their own given accord and stop Bilstein before he can conquer the universe with his nascent Fourth Empire. Bilstein, who has built himself a powerful cyborg body and escaped from Zeta, is their leader. Word of Earth's possession of a super weapon spreads throughout the universe and it reduces hostile confrontations.įour years later, an Earth Federation army base is attacked and destroyed by a small group of rebels calling themselves the 'Fourth Empire'. He is arrested and exiled from Earth, imprisoned in a satellite that orbits the Planet Zeta, while development of the Plasma weapon is indefinitely suspended. It is discovered by the Earth Federation that Bilstein experimented on actual human bodies during his research on Plasma Power. The Plasma weapon is built, and Bilstein gains fame and fortune for the invention. Edward Bilstein, a Nobel Prize-winning German-American physicist for the Earth Federation, uncovers the secret to humanity's 'sixth sense': a technique for capturing the energy of the human mind, an energy source he calls 'Plasma Power'. However, some problems arise with a couple of alien races, so the Earth Federation begins developing a Plasma-power weapon to protect the Earth from any outside threats. People now emigrate from one planet to another. In the year 2348, humans have been exploring the vast reaches of outer space for four centuries and have established peaceful contact with various alien civilizations. Losing to Ghost Bilstein results in both a bad ending and a game over while defeating Ghost Bilstein results in the chosen character's own true ending. Depending on how quickly the player defeats Bilstein, either the game ends with a false ending or the player is then taken to a special battle against an unplayable computer-controlled true final boss named Ghost Bilstein. Gore, who serves as the sub-boss of the game is always fought at Stage 9 and Bilstein, who serves as the final boss of the game is always fought at Stage 10. Depending on who the player chooses as their character, they will fight against a specific set of opponents. The arcade mode of Star Gladiator consists of ten fights. This system was discarded in the game's sequel, Plasma Sword. If a character strings together five hits and presses a specific button at the end of the combo, they initiate a Plasma Final, which unlocks a technique that inflicts a large amount of damage upon their opponent if used. Through a specific string of attacks, a fighter can combo their opponent even if the opponent is blocking. Star Gladiator also introduces the Plasma Combo System. Characters can also use a Plasma Strike, which can cause huge damage to an opponent if it connects on sight, but a Plasma Strike can only be done once per round. A Plasma Reflect enables a fighter to deflect an opponent's incoming move and stun them, leaving them vulnerable for a few seconds, while a Plasma Revenge enables a fighter to counterattack an opponent's incoming move and strike back with their own fast attack. Plasma Reverses are two special guard moves that can be unleashed at any time from within a battle.

The fighters battle upon a hovering arena, and if a fighter is knocked off the arena they lose the round.

Instead of the six-button configuration system seen in past Capcom fighting game series such as Street Fighter II: The World Warrior and Darkstalkers, Star Gladiator utilizes a Soulcalibur series-esque four-button configuration system, which consists of two attack buttons for a character's weapon, a kick attack, and a guard defense.
