We are treated with a white background showing two logos, one for the publisher and the other for Draconian Games for 7 seconds. The logos fade out and then fades in the Unreal Engine logo that is displayed until 7 seconds later and then vanishes.

We cut to the panoramic view of Earth rotating for ten seconds before it zooms out to a certain part of the world. The narrator (voiced by Richard Epcar) says "Decades ago, a fighting ceremony where the music and the martial arts combine, is celebrated worldwide." Then we cut to a desert where we see Don Z and Ken Lee, the latter is a middle aged chinese-american bald man with a long beard wearing an archetypal martial arts master attire. They fought each other in a coreographed fight as the narrator continues "For twelve tournaments, Ken Lee was the supreme Rhythmic Martial Arts Champion in history, that is until his friend and rival Don Z, defeated him out of rage and he's no longer heard of altogether." and Don Z punches Ken Lee in the chest through the latter's first-person view before the screen fades black.

Then we cut to an elementary school where we see Carlos Velásquez, Joaquín Ortiz, Rina Yamanaka, Adriana Salazar and Iván Díaz as children wearing typical school uniforms (Adriana's natural hair color was brown at the time). They're playing in the recess as the narrator says "Ten years ago. Five people met with each other in an elementary school. They befriended like no other.". Carlos was seen sparring with Joaquín, while Rina talks with Adriana and Iván gives a gift for them, the girls open until it explodes to their faces as he laughs like Jokey Smurf. Both girls are not happy and they slap him, but he later apologizes and they hug him. As minutes passed, Joaquín was seen in the clasroom, chatting with some random female classmates, but Adriana shows up, gets angry and pulls his right ear just like Misty always does to Brock, leaving the classroom. In another take, Carlos and Rina are seen eating the lunch, then she kisses him in the cheek and he gets blushed. We cut to Iván figting against a random obese bully who attempted to steal a dark-skinned nerd's lunch, he defeats the aforementioned bully in ten seconds, giving praise from his classmates including the nerd, who thanked him. Later, we cut to the five of putting their hands to each other as they say "Best friends forever!" while they raise the hands as the narrator continues "It was that moment when they start to connect their bonds with each other. That is until...". Now we cut to the graduation ceremony where they had to say their goodbyes and walking in separate ways out of the school as the narrator continues "They had to depart to walk in different paths." before the screen fades black.

The black screen shows a white text saying "Ten years later." for twenty seconds and then now shows Carlos, Joaquín, Rina, Adriana and Iván in their current age. They're standing backwards to each other in a circular position as the camera rotates in 360 degrees. The narrator continues "However, fate will reunite them. The childhood friends will rejoin one more time." The camera later zooms to Carlos' face, he starts to opens his eyes for ten seconds and then the screen fades white.

We cut to the Greek Mythology Museum's Library as the narrator is later revealed to be known as Kastor Euklideus. He's seen reading a book for 20 seconds before he closes it and says "I'm aware of the risks they're involved. It's my duty to guide them from the very dangers they're awaiting. Nobody knows the outcome of their journey, but one thing is sure... they are destined to save the world from an unknown menace.", after this, the screen fades black.

Sick Puppies' "You're Going Down (Clean Version)" starts to play throughout the remainder of the intro.

We cut to a sunset where we see Joaquín, Rina, Carlos, Adriana and Iván from left to right, walking like the Justice League animated series intro and then the camera zooms up to Carlos' face, splits the screen in five parts where we also see the his teammates' faces and they start to run as the screen transitions with orange, dark blue, pink, beige and sea green colored light streaks. Then we cut to Carlos and Joaquín sparring with each other outside of Ken Lee's temple, a building modeled after a traditional japanese castle in a coreographed fight that lasts for thirty seconds as the screen transitions with pink and white colored light streaks.

Cut to footage of Rina walking with her fanbase in the streets of Toyko, until she notices the presence of a knife coming behind. She evades and turns to see Natalie Volkova, who starts to rush towards her with the Drill Kick, which hits the J-Pop Idol in the stomach, and proceeds to hit her two times with two hand attacks and finishes with an arm lock that sends her to the other side but she teleports without a scratch easily and uses her Mahou Whip to capture the assassin and drag closely in order to perform her Mahou Sword as the secreen transitions with sea green and violet colored light streaks.

Cut to footage of Iván fighting Takeru Hojo in Puerto Cabello, with the DJ launching his Fuurin-Ken from his hands, but the bully hunter evades and then launches his Disco Brillante, hitting in the torso. However, he recovers the attack easily and hits his opponent in the face with his right kick, but Iván only feels a scratch, while Takeru just nods at it in the next take as the secreen transitions with emerald and red colored light streaks.

Cut to footage of Murdock Jameson and Garrett McRae in the UFC Octagon looking to each other in ten seconds before they start to fight, with the Metalhead delivering a headbutt to the underground fighter and gets cornered in the left section of the cage. Garrett rushes rapidly with a tackle but then Murdock counters with an elbow pop-up and finishing with his Upward Knee to the canadian as the secreen transitions with a big olive colored light streak.

Cut to footage of Lu Fong doing a series of Katas in his temple on Hong Kong. The sequence starts with three roundhouse kicks, followed by one left kick, three punches and one palm. He later runs to the camera with his Disco Kick as the secreen transitions with magenta and yellow colored light streaks.

Cut to footage of Shantel Jameson and Tomas Cristiano fighting in a brazilian favela. The carnival dancer is already locking the boxer with an armlock and then attempts to transition with a noogie punch but she blocks the attack and then counters with two swinging jabs to his face and finishing with an Upper Rush, the camera zooms to her winking face for five seconds as the secreen transitions with beige and sky blue colored light streaks.

Cut to footage of Adriana and Damian Williams fighting in the AAA six-sided ring. Damian starts to wheel kick her in the face, sending the mexican luchadora to the mat, then she gets up, as the british superstar attempts to clothesline her, but she evades, dropkicks him in the back, getting trapped in the second rope, and later she performs Rey Mysterio's 619, kicking him in the face and then proceeds to do a splash from third rope as the screen transitions with dark green and brown colored light streaks.

Cut to footage of Reggie Weimann and Jacob Moses fighting in the Israel desert. The activist applies his helicopter kicks to the bodyguard's gut, followed by two left kicks to his opponent and when he tries to finish, the Israeli counters and breaks with a torso hold followed by a punch to the face, sending him to the ground and gets up. Later, Jacob conjures a sand sphere and launches to Reggie, who instead splits the sphere in two with his Cartwheel as the screen transitions with a big grey colored light streak.

Cut back to Kastor leaving the museum and gets worried for the situation of the childhood friends for ten seconds but later sees the beautiful enviroment of his hometown as the screen transitions with orange and dark blue colored light streaks.

Cut back to Carlos and Joaquín resting from the sparring session. They noticed that someone is coming, and they turn to see Don Z, who clenches his fists and prepares to challenge them. Both friends rush towards him, whose face is now zoomed for five seconds as the screen transitions with a big black colored light streak.

Finally we see a slideshow for every fighter already showcased in sucession for five seconds per each one before we cut Carlos and Joaquin hitting Don Z, who parries both attacks with his bare hands as the screen transitions with a big gold colored light streak, showing the close-up of the shadow figure with the cybernetic red eye as he grins, complete with said eye glowing for ten seconds and concluding with the core sixteen colored light streaks forming the BR initials for twenty seconds before unfolding as the official "BATTLE RHYTHM" logo in a background decorated with musical notes.
Here's the official intro of my first original fighter: Battle Rhythm. Take note that the intro is divided in two. The first half is a narration by Kastor Euklideus regarding the apparent demise of Ken Lee and how five childhood friends met for the first time ten years ago, and the second half is basically what a Fighting Game intro looks like in its cinematic glory!

The characters listed in bold are the core 16 default fighters.

For those wondering who's the shadow figure, you will know him in the biographies!

I thank TheDeadstroke for suggesting the theme for the intro! :D (Big Grin)
