The Killing Blade [Arcade] - play as Lord Wizard
19This is a playthrough using Lord Wizard in the Arcade game The Killing Blade. Read on below for more information...
Lord Wizard is a special hidden final boss who requires some specific conditions to be met in order to fight against. He is an unplayable character in the game.
===== ABOUT LORD WIZARD =====
Design-wise there's some Gouken vibes going on... his power level and confidence clearly shows judging by the way he is constantly in a cross-legged meditating pose hovering around. He looks more fierce in his image portraits than he does in gameplay.
Gameplay-wise he is definitely a very powerful character in the game, his best move by far is his super move where when executed, he teleports straight above his opponent (while the opponent is frozen during the temporary super move screen freeze) and sends out a wave of lightening onto them.
===== ADDITIONAL INFORMATION =====
---- In gameplay, if you have Lord Wizard selected as both your characters, trying to switch characters will make him perform dash back off the screen, with the "other" one appearing on the side of the screen. It doesn't really operate like a real tag.
---- His pre-fight intro does not finish in time even after the round has begun. This puts him into a state of temporary weakness. You can perform attacks to break him out of it faster though.
---- If you beat the game with him, he has no ending.
---- On the high score rankings screen, his icons are of the Twin Tartar (the blindfolded character).
===== ABOUT THE KILLING BLADE =====
The game was produced by Taiwanese company IGS, and it is almost like a Chinese version of Samurai Shodown... it's obviously not as stylish but it holds it's own. The special and super moves are very dramatic and flashy when they hit. The game features a tag-team system.
The characters themselves in-gameplay are drawn and animated quite well, and are probably based on ancient "stereotypes" of period Chinese culture, the kind of stuff you see in those TV shows and movies.
