POWERSTONE! So who here likes and plays Powerstone 1 and 2?

Rouge flying on a magic carpet, will always be cool in Powerstone 1.
The wide amount of crazy combos, moves and super moves, and that whole adventure story feel, made me like Powerstone 1 alot more than the sequel. I wish all of those things, were carried over in Powerstone 2 and weren't taken out. I'm glad Mel is playable in Powerstone 2. I haven't unlocked her yet though. Haven't played the Chef dude yet too. But I like that cowboy dude even up to this day. Out of all the new characters introduced in Powerstone 2, he is definitely my style. Lol!

Don't forget Pride, unless you unlocked him already.
I love both games almost equally but over time came to appreciate the sequel even more perhaps due to the sheer amount of unlockable content and replay value.
The game really shines thru Co-Op battles. I use to frequent a local Arcade who had the game on a head 2 head Naomi setup for 2 players. I would go with my cousin and Co-Op to unlock most of the Arcade content. It was alot of fun and interesting getting acclimated to the game's native 3 button layout.
I prefer to play this game on a DC housing a Yamaha disc drive as I've experience first hand playing it on anything other than that causes some questionable load times between stages. It's a very odd anomaly.

In any case, I heard that the Japanese version only supported 2 players online rather than 4, can anyone confirm or disprove this esoteric fact?

According to a ODCM publication, you can have 4 player matches online via two console's being connected, so the server supports up to 2 players on each console for 4 player support.
I wish someone could get this game online on real hardware someday.

Accel, the cowboy, is my favorite character in PS2 as well. Capcom ought to bring him into one of their Marvel versus series games.

You're more likely to see more iconic characters of the series like Falcon, Ryoma, Wang Tang or Rouge in a crossover game (Rouge and Falcon have cameos in CvS2).
There was rumor early on that one Power Stone character was considered for MvC:Infinite which would've made a lot of sense considering the game's central focus on the infinity stones. Dann shame it didn't come to fruition.

Yeah. I was thinking the same thing. Now that is a cool idea.

That Rouge super in Powerstone 1, where she spins around with hearts is hilarious.

Welcome, to the world of Powerstone.

Despite being a bit slow, Gunrock is a really cool character.
And his stage is nice too.

Despite alot of missing moves, Powerstone 2 has alot of nice characters.

People say that Valgas is super cheap, but I always say watch out for Jack.
He is a hidden little monster in Powerstone 1.
