Anybody remember Power Stone?

>> No.2214429

>>2214426
yes, i loved them.

it's probably the game i played most on the dreamcast, other than maybe trickstyle.

i only had a few games growing up

the game is such a party favorite to me. I love the game probably a great addition to the dreamcast library tho i wish they'd consider an HD remake of the game its in need of one.

>> No.2214470

Like the game but prefered the second one with all the crafting shit (as far as I remember, I enjoyed it when I was 13)

Speaking of it. Is the psp version of this good enough for me to drop my dreamcast?

The only thing I didn't like about the second game was getting the last few dress items. It's a completionists nightmare. I'm still missing exactly one item because I need to wait for Pride to give me one of the ingredients or get exceedingly lucky with a dress card.

Great game. I prefer it over the sequel for many reasons.

they're both fucking awesome. way more fun as a party brawler than smash bros by a long shot.

Im a fan. Anime was okay.

I still have my copy of Power Stone 2 and my VMU with every single item unlocked. Power Stone 2 is actually my favorite game of all time, and I really never get tired of playing it. If my Dreamcast hadn't gotten stolen then I'd still be playing it now.

Still don't know what causes Falcon's dad to give you that crazy ass jewel, but that was one of the last things I needed to make the Legendary Sword and the Dragon Slayer Sword. If you don't know about the Dragon Slayer Sword, it's about as long as 1/4 of the arena and takes off 1/4 of life in each hit. Shit was crazy. Still prefer the Legendary Sword since it heals you everytime you swing it.

Also,
Scooter > roller blades > skateboard
Most useless item?
The fucking bubble gun or the standard machine gun. Firecrackers were alright but the fireworks destroyed someone if caught in it. Falcon's dad was OP as shit since, if you used his rocket-shell special, it could 1-hit KO if you were touching the enemy while activating it.

Robo-boy can suck a dick.

The anime was one of the better fighting game adaptations I've seen. It's a shame the ending was so rushed. That's all it would have needed to be really good.

>> No.2215004

Smash Bros before Smash Bros was a thing.

Capcom actually used to pioneer, or at least improve, some really great concepts and is now sitting on a huge mountain of IP and licenses that rot under their asses.

What a shame. Imagine what competent people could do with Capcom's neglected games.

Was the game based on the chinese cartoon or the cartoon based on the game?
I remember watching it in 2002.

Pretty sure the game came first. It was a pretty early DC title.

First dreamcast game I owned.

it's pretty, but pretty shallow. I stopped playing it after VF3 was released.

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yeah, the 1st one had better combat.

It's been so long since I've played it that I don't even remember the characters, but I was into it. Shame they didn't make more.

It's kinda fun but nothing in the game matters besides getting power stones

>> No.2216249

I hate it simply because the evasion system makes no sense and the attacks have a huge homing property. If there was a stronger defensive system it'd be fun as fuck.

Also 5 stages is ass

The sequel was best on 4-player aloe, played with my bro, friend, and girl dosen't play vidya at all. We all had a blast. They really should have fleshed it out tho. My guess is a Powerstone 3 would be lucrative as fuck, but Capcom refuses to release these games on non-failed consoles (DC, PSP).
