Before Power Stone, before Rival Schools, and even before Marvel vs. Capcom 2...Capcom launched a bold experiment as Star Gladiator, a sci-fi 3D fighting game packed with plasma swords, anime-style drama, and intergalactic warriors. But what really happened to this series?

With Plasma Sword finally making its return in Capcom Fighting Collection 2, it’s the perfect time to revisit one of the most daring — and most forgotten — entries in Capcom’s legendary fighting game history. From the experimental launch of Star Gladiator in 1996 to the refined but overlooked sequel Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein in 1998, we’ll explore how Capcom’s first 3D fighter tried to carve its own path.
