World Heroes Perfect is the final game of the World Heroes series.
Story[]
A year has passed since the dark tournament association's movements... The world was peaceful and invitations for the third World Heroes' tournament were mailed by Doctor Brown himself. Heroes who wanted to prove themselves, rivals who wanted their matches settled, and other fighters began to gather once more for the decisive tournament. The news of Zeus' participation was also part of the agenda for those who wanted revenge. The tournament's organization was already desperate but that was not its only horror!
Overview[]
The third sequel, and final installment to the World Heroes series. In this version of World Heroes, every character has an "ABC Special Move" that can be activated by pressing the A, B and C buttons at the same time. The gameplay runs smoother, and the graphics have improved.
Gameplay[]
This game added two new resources: the HERO GAUGE & CAPABILITIES OF CHAOS.
HERO GAUGE & CAPABILITIES OF CHAOS[]
Now, each of heroes have a distinct Special Ability by pressing the ABC buttons at the same time. These unique abilities have different tricks when combined with cross key motions, so be sure to discover their full effects during battle! New to World Heroes Perfect is the Hero Gauge located at the lower corners of the screen. As the fighters perform heroic attacks, the gauge charges up. Once the gauge fills to the maximum, the word HERO flares up.
At this moment, that character is entitled to use an empowered version of one of his special moves (marked red in the movelists) or a unique Crazy Death Blow (marked in black boxes) which inflicts a load of damage on the opponent! These special moves completely drains the Hero Gauge, so use them at the direst of moments to increase the chance of victory!
Also, keep an eye out on your Life Gauges. When a character takes damage halfway of the gauge, it flashes red and enables the use of Crazy Death Blows without the full Hero Gauge requirement. However, with a flashing Life Gauge and full Hero Gauge, your unique Crazy Death Blow is even more empowered, enough to knock as much as half of your opponent's Life Gauge or more!
Characters[]
