This is a playthrough using the 3rd unused character in the Arcade version of Star Gladiator. Read on below for more information...

This is an unused character (3 out of 3) in the game, which obviously means that he is an unplayable character.

In this playthrough, as a bonus I have included a fight against CPU Super Bilstein at the end. You can see it starting around 14:08 in the video.

===== ABOUT 3RD UNUSED CHARACTER =====

---- Graphically-wise, he is clearly in a "beta" state, meaning that he lacks textures/detail. He doesn't have a face, and there are also some small glitches and clipping issues.

---- Moves-wise, he is a clone of Hayato, meaning that he has all of Hayato's moveset. His stances, movements and animations are also identical.

---- His throw is the same as Hayato's one.

---- His weapon appears to be a giant fan that is closed. The graphics for it also lacks textures and detail.

---- When striking, his weapon lacks light trails. However there is an aura glow effect at the tip of the weapon when he uses the Engetsu special move.

---- On the character select screen, he uses Gamof's image portraits and name. He uses the name "Gerelt" everywhere else.

---- On the 2-player match versus screen, he uses Gerelt's image banners.

---- He does not have a voice in active gameplay; but he does have a voice for his winning poses, and this voice seems to be unique.

---- Both his costumes is the one we see in the video.

---- If you reach and beat Super Bilstein with him, the game will crash.

---- There is a rumour that this was intended to be an extra costume for Hayato instead of being a different character.

===== ABOUT STAR GLADIATOR =====

The game is basically a futuristic weapons fighter, largely inspired by the Star Wars franchise. The fighting system and mechanics is very typical of a Capcom fighting game... it's a bit like a flexible Street Fighter with weapons and "dial-a-combos". The character roster is certainly diverse, with robots, mechs, monsters and creatures as well as humans.
