Since the advent of the game, there have been many versions, the more famous ones are the 95DOS version, the 98 tender version, and the remake version of the new Paladin Sword.
However, there is such a version, its popularity may not be high, but it has a very special significance. It is sega Saturn's version of "The Legend of the Paladin Sword", which is what we call the SS version of the "Legend of the Paladin Sword".
SS version of the Lunatic Sect Leader
Sega Saturn's version of "The Legend of the Paladin Sword" and the original version have a big difference, in an article more than a month ago, xiaobian compared the differences between the two versions in terms of character standing, then this time it starts from the combat skill special effects.
The first to appear was the "Sword God", which was Li Xiaoyao's iconic move, and it was this skill that he liked to use most of that year. The handsome scene of the sword god summoning ten thousand swords is still deeply impressive.
The original Sword God
However, in the SS version of "The Legend of the Paladin Sword", the special effects of "Sword God" have changed dramatically. The first is that there is an extra sword box behind the sword god, which looks a bit funny. Secondly, the Ten Thousand Swords no longer appeared out of thin air, but were summoned from the sword cassette to carry out crossfire attacks.
SS Version of Sword God
I don't know how everyone looks at the difference between the two, in the author's eyes, the changes in the SS version are some of the painting snakes, the sword god because of this sword box, B grid suddenly reduced a lot, or the original version looks simple and domineering.
There is an extra sword box behind the sword god
After talking about the Sword God, let's take a look at the skill of "Martial God", which is Zhao Ling'er's signature spell and a very powerful skill. The original Vulcan looked mighty and domineering, like the Celestial God of War.
The original Vulcan
The SS version of the "Valkyrie" has a very large change, directly changing the character drawing style and attack method, and the Vulcan presented in the eyes of the player is a completely different style.
SS version of Valkyrie
Judging from the clothing and clothing of the Martial God, it should be similar to the role of the Miaojiang God of War, and this change can be understood, Ling'er is from Miaojiang, and the "Martial God" is also more inclined to this kind of style.
Next, let's talk about the "Snow Demon", which may be a skill that everyone cares about, so what will happen to her?
SS version of the Snow Demon
The character shape is not much different, after all, Dongying also has the legend of "Snow Girl", which is almost what we see in "The Legend of the Paladin Sword".
However, due to the improvement of the game's functionality, the SS version has added many special effects to the character battles, so we can see the | 3D freezing effects, which is not seen in the original "Snow Demon".
Vulcan
Similarly, the SS version of the "Vulcan" skill effect has also undergone a huge change, directly into the sun effect. I have to say that this scene is really too spectacular, only from the perspective of special effects, the power has been increased by at least a few grades.
This is not the god of fire, but the god of the sun!
Next, Xiaobian will put the original (left) and SS version (right) of the skill map together to make a comparison, and everyone may have a more intuitive understanding of the differences.
Dionysus
The two versions of the Dionysian Spell are not very different overall, the only difference is that the special effects of the shockwave have changed. The SS version has a stronger sense of visual impact, and the original version handles the details better, which can only be said to have its own advantages.
thor
The difference between "Thor" is mainly focused on the lightning special effects, and here we have to admire the lightning effects of the SS version of "The Legend of the Paladin Sword" are too realistic, and they are closer to the lightning flash screen in nature than the original version.
It is also worth noting that the SS version of Thor has an extra hat, I don't know how exquisite this design is?
Purgatory is really fire
"Purgatory True Fire" is Zhao Ling'er's main output skill, and the cost performance is even higher than that of "Vulcan". When it comes to skill effects, the original and SS emphases are different.
The original version focused on the explosion effect, while the SS focused on the flame effect, although the latter is more appropriate to the name "Purgatory True Fire", but in terms of picture tension, the original special effect is better.
Heavenly Sword
In the "Heavenly Sword" skill special effect, the original version is a sword, while the SS version becomes two swords, and finally the two swords attack the enemy in one, which has an inexplicable feeling.
Three corpses
Let's take a look at the "Three Corpses", which is an Anu attack move, which can only be used if there is a deception. If you look at the above two pictures alone, you may think that they are two different skills.
The SS version of the "Three Corpses" at first glance still thinks that it is Ling'er's "Dream Return" skill, which is easy to confuse, and here is the original version of the special effects better.
Wind Spirit Charm
Next, let's talk about the throwing skill of "Wind Spirit Rune", the original "Wind Spirit Rune" is three tornadoes, which is almost exactly the same as Ling'er's "Whirlwind Charm".
The SS version appeared in the center of the whirlwind with something similar to a scroll, which distinguished the "Wind Spirit Rune" and the "Whirlwind Charm", and I have to say that the details were very well done.
Ray Spirit Rune
In the same principle, the "Thunder Spirit Rune" also has more special effects similar to the "Heavenly Master Rune", which is used to distinguish it from thunder skills such as "Sky Thunder Break" and "Five Thunder Spell".
Fire Spirit Rune
The picture turned to the "Fire Spirit Rune", this time the painting style suddenly changed again, the SS version of the "Fire Spirit Rune" is afraid that it is not a three-flavor real fire, there is a feeling of burning everything, and the original version is a completely different style.
Water Spirit Charm
The "Water Spirit Rune" special effect is somewhat similar to the previous "Snow Demon" in principle, directly from snowflakes to cryolite, anyway, the water-related immortals in "The Legend of the Paladin Sword" basically can't see a drop of water.
Earth Spirit Rune
Next when I saw the "Earth Spirit Rune", Xiaobian was dumbfounded, what is the SS version of the "Earth Spirit Rune", there is actually an extra can, and the stone is also smashed, and the scripture is floating in the air.
In contrast, I still prefer to support the original version of the "Earth Spirit Rune", which is the momentum that Tarzan should have.
The above are all skill effects that are obviously different from the main character team and the original version, and the rest are basically not much different. However, in the villain boss camp, the special effects in the SS version of "Legend of the Paladin Sword" are still very different, and can even be described as unrecognizable.
Purgatory Claw
The Lunatic Sect Leader has a skill called "Purgatory Claw", which can cause a lot of group damage to us. The SS version of the "Purgatory Claw" directly turned into a pair of bone claws, which looked more frightening and more in line with its name.
Reign
"Bloody Storm" is also a move that the Moon Worship Sect Leader likes to use, and the difference between the two versions is still very obvious. The SS version of "Bloody Storm" directly uses blood vessels to show the skill effects, but at first glance, it is thought that Nezha is using Mixed Sky Aya.
In general, the sega Saturn version of the "Legend of the Paladin Sword" skill special effects change is still quite large, and it can even be described as unrecognizable.
Although the special effects have been greatly improved, due to the problems of Sega Saturn's version of "The Legend of the Paladin Sword", it has never become a classic version due to the slow game save time, long battle special effects time, and inconvenient operation.
