Battle Blaze (SNES)

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do:
Document the two known beta versions

Battle Blaze is a wholly unremarkable one-on-one fighter with a medieval theme.

Regional Differences#

Every character, except for Lord Gustoff, has different names in the Japanese and North American versions:

Japan

North America

Faud

Kerrel

Rangle

Lang

Filea

Tesya

Shazzer

Shnouzer

Werleck

Adrick

Gliformoth

Autarch

Japan

North America

In addition, Filea/Tesya was given tights on her legs for the latter version, most likely because her costume was considered too revealing. (Even though Faud/Kerrel's outfit is more revealing...)

Oddities#

Unfinished Move Inputs#

Both Lord Gustoff and Shazzer/Shnouzer have movement inputs listed to do their ranged attacks in both Japanese and English manuals; claiming the move can be done just like by holding back and hitting Y. Gustoff's chain mace is even described as his signature move and is displayed in his character artwork.

However in the actual game, only their AI counterparts can perform this move contrary to the information in the manual or the other characters with ranged moves.
