Hands off my Jewels! The Power Stone 1/2/collection Thread

how about hosting side PS tournaments at Majors

So u mean to say all these tier lists are mostly theory fighter?

I think Gourmand’s special can be avoided by Ayame. His special can also be knocked out getting something throw at, or shot at with the bubble gum if you are in that range and brave enough to do so. Wang Tang can Hadoken him out of the special too if you are both powered up.

Ayame I think has the best special in the game and has the best escape abilties. IMO she is slightly the best of the character. She’s got lots of little dirty tricks.

I want to play some PS 1 PS 2 isn’t as good imo. But Ps1 was acutally a decent fighting game. They need to release the collection for ps3 as well as psp.

Kraken is OP? (yay)

I hate Wang Tong. Nothing is aspire about him and no flaws. Well except DBZ lawsuite for copyright of design.

I love Julia but is she practical in PS2? I never go to use her in PS1. But she was just so lovly and graceful.

Julia might not be top tier, but she is fun and can be dangerous in the right hand. She is prob better if you play a team mode than if it was a battle royal situation.

Impaling then hitting them with Merry Go Round special is one of the most damaging specials in the game. Her Umbrella run away tactics can be tricky too. Certain stages is also more beneficial to her.

Well I wouldn’t want her to be Top tier. I would rather rush and punish with her. (doesn’t understand PS series meta game)

I believe the PlayStation store had Power Stone Collection for PS3 like a few months. It should still be there

keo-bas, Power Stone metagame revolves around jumping around, using items, collecting Power Stones, and not getting hit. This obviously differs per character (Julia versus Falcon for example) but the basis remains the same

I guess that’s understandable but I feel their a strong edge of another play style. Like lets look at the teirs for the moment.

Wang just good because his design is just well suited for this game. So what makes Wang so great in this game that other character with same design treatment aren’t as great. Its true that tiers is subjective matter but it seems very apparantlyt that Wang is very good. I think by study why he is so good can help understand the meta game depth

You have to look at just that, the design of the respective character. For example, Ayame and Falcon have freaking double jumps, which are so good. Julia has a great pounce, doubled with the umbrella slowfall. But she has slow running speed. She can’t cover ground nearly as fast as Falcon and Ayame. Not to mention Ayame and Falcon have faster melee attacks than her. Her only true saving grace is to transform and use her special attack and Power Fusions.

As for Wang Tang, honestly he’s just annoying. He has a decent balance of speed and power. On top of that, his transformation special is very hard to avoid at close and mid range, and his Power Fusions are deadly at close quarters. He has what it takes to stay on top of you pretty much whenever he wants (not taking items into account).

well hence I haven played PS long enough I well keep my peace.

already doing this, first one is Feburary 20th, ill link results here hell if anyone is coming to FR bring it there…

until we get actual current tournament footage this would be the tier list for the year 2000…

A solid trap and Ayame is a good as done…she remains mid tier in ps2 but I wouldnt say no where near tops

Question for anyone with PSC on PSN. I think you can play PSP games on the PS3 now. If you have DL’d this version and have played it through your PS3, do you know if you can play 4 players all on the same PS3?

Shadow Ace, what is FR and where is it?

Whoa there. Are u forgetting that u and Deadly Rave Neo have an obligation to get mercilessly beasted on by me at FR?

Its a special tournament that’s invite-only, I’m afraid. :shake:

Any pete players in here? Invention Boy is fun.

Its Final Round and its in Atlanta.

I just picked this up today for DC. Looking forward to giving it a go. I didn’t have a DC growing up and neither did my friends so I missed out on these @_@

Just saying Power Stone Collection adds more items. I love the Totem Hammer
