Anyone else play this game? Just picked it up about a month or two ago for SNES9x, played some casuals with friends. Fun game, save for Uranus, pretty balanced.
Anyone ever seen a tier list? I’ve yet to find one.

Shoryuken - [ Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S ] All Character Combo Exhibition (NEW VERSION)
Found a SFC cart of this game on ebay for like $10 including shipping, thinking about grabbing it. Still need an SNES though.

Alzarath:
Hella boring day, so I thought I’d do this.
Keep in mind, I don’t consider myself THE authority on this game, there may be things I’m overlooking. This is largely what I’ve seen/experienced. I may be judging some chars too harshly, others too favorably. I think this is fairly accurate though.
Lastly, everyone aside from Pluto/Chibi is viable, and even those two have something going for them (even if it results from bad situations).
That said…
Jupiter
lariat, guard cancel 360 make it nigh impossible to jump in on her. guard cancel 360 will also destroy badly spaced normals
strong keepaway w/ thunder dragon and coconut cyclone
high damage off lariat combos w/ resets into 360
strong oki
slow normals/walkspeed (this is negligible, you wont be playing footsies too much)
super isnt very good (damaging, but slow startup/recovery, no invul… honestly you can just forget this exists)
Mars
2 of the best, if not THE best projectiles in the game. fire snake (ground fb) is fast, recovers quick, knocks down. burning mandala (aa fb) travels at an angle that can be difficult to jump over. this pretty much makes her the #1 zoner imo.
good walkspeed, fast normals
damaging bnb
can easily corner trap people w/ fire snake
super does good damage even on block, can confuse people (looks like fire snake, but starts travelling upward)
Neptune
jab dp is hilariously hard to stop/punish. just do it.
good, safe oki
decent fb, not as good as mars though
good range on normals, decently fast
has problems w/ the above two chars (gets fb trapped very easily vs mars, has a little trouble getting around jupiter’s fbs)
Mercury:
fastest character, has one of the better footsie games
pretty good dp, though neptune’s is better
has two fbs that function similarly to mars (again, not quite as good)
has a wall jump
super is kind of awkward to use
Moon:
far jump combined w/ dash canceled air fb gives her a pretty decent left/right game… probably her best aspect.
short range on normals
only really gets decent damage in the corner
Venus:
good reach on chain attacks
good dp
multiple fbs etc. see above.
chains are fairly laggy
air to air is meh
painfully slow movement
Uranus:
has an infinite (!!!)
has a forward dash
fb game is kinda poor
infinite is hard to set up, a lot of gc baiting etc is needed to land a clean hit
forward dash can be reacted to. blindly charging at your opponent will get you killed.
Pluto:
her super ranks among the best in the game. safe on block, can be canceled into, can be used as a ghetto forward dash… it has many useful applications.
lp fb does not go fullscreen, hp fb only covers the space in front of her. don’t expect to win fb wars too often.
laggy normals
only really becomes a threat at low hp
Chibi-Moon:
useful super (good chip dmg, covers the battlefield, once she gets started its almost impossible to move forward against her)
dives/instant overhead give her a decent mixup game
uhhh… she’s moe? :3
laughable range/speed on normals
terrible fb, you wont win fb wars. ever.
Tier List Breakdown

I made a spreadsheet with my translation of the matcbup chart from japan.
Jupiter is godtier
Jupiter just has all the tools in the game and back turn light lariat combos do 100% off of any crossup you land.
Neptune has the best DP, and her super dp will do 70% life on counterhit, making it the best and most reliable big punish in the game.
Mars has sickingly good fireball lockdown and can confirm into her HK flipkick off anything for good knockdown and oki.
Mercury has the best LK and decent fireball and reversal options
Moon is the most mobile character and gets some pretty sick keepaway and mixups off doing air hearts during her dashes.
Venus has chain into up fireball lockdown, the up fireballs are insanely good and give you sickening plus frames on hit and block. You can link multiple of them in a combo and do her desperation move after one if you input it fast enough, giving venus access to the most reliable 100% DM combos. Also venus love me chain is a decent reversal tool. J7.HP is a pretty sick instant overhead. And up fireball into walkup throw/love me chain is sick.
Pluto is worthless without her DM, it recovers superfast on whiff giving her forward dash capabilities, and DM whiff cancel combos which can actually do some sick damage if you have the execution. DM whiff leads into sick pressure and mixups too, but you need to lose 50% of your life for pluto to start being a real character, making her have a lot of uphill battles.
The reason Uranus is lowtier despite her godlike training mode status is that her DC lockdown gets blownup by GCs, her fireball sucks ass, her forward dash has a super long duration and isn’t invincible, and her normals aren’t all that. You can shutdown her forward dash BS with a wellplaced fireball or LK and keep her out all day. But if she gets in she can infinite you so her matchups are all sorts of wonky. Bitch can’t do shit versus fireballs that travel over uranus world shaking.
Don’t play Chibi moon. Well ok, her DM leads to decent fullscreen chip setups, but that is a lot of chip you’re going to have to deal in order to win.
I wrote this all out on my phone so it probably looks like shit, but there you go, my knowledge on the tiers from memory.

Here ya go.
YouTube - Soh85’s Channel
One of the video’s on his channel had a tier list on there. If I remember correctly it was…
Jupiter
Found it. Here’s the list, in Japanese.
[media=youtube]WJ3htZ1asT4#t=8m11s[/media]
Before I forget, there was also a remake that changed some moves and added Saturn. No one ever plays it for some reason…
Yeah, I have the ROM for Super S as well, but seeing as how no one plays it, I’ve stuck with S myself. I would honestly like to know why the Super S version is unplayed.
And thanks for the tier list!
So I just won an auction for a copy of Sailor Moon S for the Super Famicom for $10.
And if anyone wants to play me online, hit me up on SNES9x. Can’t seem to get the rom working in one version of ZSNES, and the version it works in, it hangs at the character select screen, which is inconsequential, since Netplay is mysteriously disabled.
Contact me to play though. Don’t know how the netplay would be.
That is a good buy. I definitely will get the Sailor Moon fighters pretty soon when I can. I thought there were no differences aside from characters between the 2 games?
Is it possible to play online with SNES9x emulator on the Wii? If so, I have no idea how to set it up.
There actually are slight changes, according to the movelists. Each character drops a move, then gains a new one that was unveiled in the Super S season.
Anyways, I’m not sure about the Wii version of SNES9x myself. I know it’s possible in the Linux version, so I would also assume it works on the Windows version, but any others, I’m unsure about
This bring back memories from like 10 years ago for me, lol. I totally forgot bout this game and now want to find a copy for myself!!!
There’s a lot of them circulating on ebay at various prices.
Look for a copy like this:
SAILOR MOON S NINTENDO SUPER FAMICOM SNES - eBay (item 270631596467 end time Dec-04-10 20:23:27 PST)
That label = The Sailor Moon S fighter.
I was very fortunate to find the one I found for $10. Seller said there were minor scratches to the label, which was ok for me.
If its got netplay than I can knock the dust off and we can run this shit.
Bonus points if its got a way I can record so i can upload matches later…
No way to record that I found in emulator, but I’m able to record on my laptop pretty well without it lagging up the game.
There is netplay for sure in SNES9x, I just don’t know how good it is.
Oh wow, wait, there IS a way to record in SNES9x.
Gonna re-download the emu, rom and spend some time wiping the dust off.
How on earth is Uranus near the bottom of that tier list =/

I wish I knew. Maybe they banned her infinite or something. Looking at the list she has a godawful matchup with Venus(Or Moon. I should go research this). Also, I think I read that matchup list wrong,and this is how it goes:
Moon= 4
So, in order…
Jupiter
I’m gonna go look into translating the list, but hopefully that one’s right.

Can I play you sometime too? Do we need matching versions of Snes9x?

I’m unsure. We could always try and see how it works, but sure feel free to play me. I’m interested in getting real human competition in this game. Can’t get better playing by myself lol.

I’ll see if I can go dig up an Snes9x later this weekend and hit you up if your not busy.
Btw I translated the list and fixed it, so it’s right now. They must ban Uranus’s infinite or something because she’s second to last.

Either that or ban her forward dash, which the main reason sje jas the infinite. Doesn’t make sense that angel only gave one character a forward dash.
Well I guess sailor moon has a pseudo forward dash but it doesn’t count lol.
My copy just came in from Japan today. Sweet. Time to get my mc cthulhus flashed for snes capabilities now.

I got some free time this weekend, hopefully I can get some games in.
I’ve been toying with the sequal for a bit though, and I might look for a list for that (or just attempt to do one), since everyone got changed so drastically.

Hopefully we can when I’m off work. Having internet problems, but if things are working properly at that time, we’ll play.
Send me an im when you can play. If I’m not logged into im, send me a pm or email through here. My droid will notify me.
I’m off at 9pm Friday and 8pm Saturday et
