Bilstein from Star Gladiator in the GA-HQ Video Game Character DB
|
Bilstein is a playable character and main antagonist in the 2 games spanning Star Gladiator fighting game series by Capcom. Bilstein debuts in Star Gladiator (1996) as the final boss and can be unlocked via a code in the Playstation version, in the sequel Plasma Sword (1998) Bilstein is playable from the start but got a slightly redesigned look. His classic form can be unlocked as a clone character with only very small differences and is called Bilstein’s Ghost. He had a small cameo in two of the endings in Capcom vs Tatsunoko and was also in SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters Clash. Bilstein is at least as similar evil and power-hungry as M.Bison from Street Fighter but gets defeated by the series main protagonist Hayato during the first game. He returns through transforming his spirit into a new vessel. He fights with a giant Plasma Broadsword. |
