Finally Balanced!	P.Sigma	2024-03-14	Version 1.1
IMO, Eternal Champions is one of the best console-exclusive 16-bit fighting games. A major drawback is its original brutal difficulty though. There is another hack here which lowers the difficulty so much, that it ruins the game more than it fixes it. I believe that this hack perfectly balances the game to make it enjoyable, without feeling that you're playing against a passive enemy AI. Difficulty-wise, now it feels like you're playing Street Fighter II on the Mega DRIVE / Genesis. And that is the best compliment I can give. Thanks for this hack!
