Those super deformed Capcom characters are back
in what just has to be the funniest fighter ever ! Featuring fighters
from Street Fighter, The Vampire series and Red Earth, Pocket Fighter is
certainly one mixed bag. Even Capcom characters that aren't featured as
fighters can be seen in the backgrounds such as Vega (M.Bison) doing
some Christmas shopping !! All your Capcom favorites are there from
Ghost & Goblins to Street Fighter 3.
The game plays pretty much like one of the Street Fighter V.S. games
meaning that it's pretty much a free for all at times. This is no bad
thing though since it really adds to the pace of the game. The main idea
is to pick up the gems (yes the same ones from Puzzle Fighter) that are
dropped every time either you or the opponent is hit. By collecting
these gems you can power up your character's moves. Each colour
represents a different move. As well as all the traditional moves plus
supers there's also a special attack button which allows your character
to smack the other one with all manner of crazy stuff from street stop
signs to giant fish ! One of my all time favorite moves though has got
to be the Flash Combo. During this flash combo your character will dress
up as many other characters from Capcom games. Just take a look at this
scan from the instruction manual. As you can see Chun Li dresses up as
Jill from Bio Hazard, Sakura from Street Fighter Zero offering a love
letter, a cheer leader and one of the characters from Star Gladiators (I
think).
Now imagine that but for every character
dressing up as someone else !! That's a hell of a lot costumes.
Pocket Fighter is defiantly a great game that shouldn't be taken too
seriously. I would recommend this to any fighting game fan and even to
those who aren't. Also the game runs with or without the 4MBIT RAM
cartridge. Without it, it looks very nice but with it changes the game
in to an arcade perfect version featuring all the animations from the
original.
