Ryu has an easy attack to counter. Just set up your Crash
Gems in the order shown above. You can eliminate a whole
column this way.
Attacks:
12-29 Gems - Hado-Ken
30+ Gems - Shinku-Hado-Ken
Chun Li - YYRRGG

Chun Li's Counter Gems form Super Gems when they transform.
Just match up the colors and you'll drop about ten gems on
her side.
Attacks:
12-29 Gems - Lightning Kick
30+ Gems - Kiko-sho
Ken - YYYYYY
GGGGGG

Attacks:

Ken's Crash Gems are arranged in rows. Have a Red Gem sitting
on the bottom when Ken attacks.
Sakura - GBBBBY

To counter Sakura's Counter Gem attack, place a Green Crash
Gem on the left side, or have a Yellow Crash Gem on the right
side.
Attacks:
12-29 Gems - Hado-Ken
30+ Gems - Shinkuu-Hado-Ken
Donovan - BBBGGG

Donovan's attack pattern is strange, because there are two
different parts. There's the red-and-yellow section on the
bottom, and the blue-green block on top. You'll have a better
chance trying to smash the blue or green Super Gems that
form.
Attacks:
12-29 Gems - Blade Attack
30+ Gems - Spirit Crusher
Morrigan - YBGGBY
YBGGBY

Morrigan's is strange, too. Try going for the red block on the
bottom or the green block on top for a big attack.
Attacks:
12-29 Gems - Shadow Blade
30+ Gems - Super Shadow Blade
Hsien-Ko- GGRRYY

Hsien-Ko's Counter gems are interlinked diagonally. One Crash
Gem can get rid of the entire color.
Attacks:
12-29 Gems - Ground Knives
30+ Gems - Heavy Metal (?)
Felicia - GBBRRY

VVVVVV
Attacks:
12-29 Gems - Cat Scratch
30+ Gems - Cat Scratch Fury
For Felicia, have a Red or Blue Crash Gem or two handy. If she gets
you with a really hard attack, green or yellow on either side
works well, too.
Akuma - RYBRGY
YBGRYB
BGRYBG
GRYBGR

VVVVVV
Yeah. Right. Hit hard, hit fast, and hit often, or else you'll
be buried in Counter Gems, because there's no way you can counter
this attack.
Attacks:
12-29 Gems - Shadow Fireball
30+ Gems - Shungokusutsu
Devilot - YRGBYR
BYRGBY
GBYRGB
RGBYRG
||||||
VVVVVV
Attacks:
12-29 Gems - Battle Axe
30+ Gems - Laser Blast
Like Akuma's, only in reverse. Same rules apply.
Dan - RRRRRR
RRRRRR
RRRRRR
RRRRRR

VVVVVV
Dan is ridiculously easy to counter, so trying to beat the game
with him will be a pain. Anybody who has a Red Crash gem ready when
Dan makes a big move can blow this guy out of the water.
<<<Play Modes>>>
Arcade
- Face off against the eight original characters in one-round
battles. After that is done, you fight Akuma. The object of the
game is to fill your opponent's side with Gems by combining
Normal and Crash Gems to create Counter Gems.
Versus
- Play against a friend. All of the available characters can be
selected.
Street Puzzle
- Defeat the given characters to win prizes (see Goodies section).
Original (PC version)
- In this mode, you can set the time on the Counter gems, and
the strength of the attack gems.
<<<Playing the Game>>>
- Controls
Use the Left or Right buttons to move the Attack Gem.
Hold Down to drop the Attack Gem quickly.
The Left Turn and Right Turn buttons rotate the Attack Gem.
(It rotates around the flashing gem).
Start pauses the game.
- Attack Gems
There are three types of Attack Gems: Normal, Crash, and Super.
The Normal gems are ordinary gems that come in red, green,
blue, and yellow.
The Crash Gems look like glowing orbs. Sit them next to a
Normal gem of matching color to eliminate them. When you
eliminate your gems, you send Counter Gems to your opponent's
side.
The Super Gem looks like a diamond. They appear after you've
dropped 50 or so Attack Gems. When you drop them on a Gem,
it eliminates all other Gems of that color.
- Counter Gems
Counter Gems have numbers on them that indicate how many turns
left until they change to Normal Gems. Each time you drop an
Attack Gem, the number on the Counter Gem decreases by one. When
the number reaches zero, the Counter Gem becomes a Normal Gem,
and you can eliminate it normally.
Counter Gems can also be eliminated when a Normal or Crash Gem
is cleared next to it, regardless of color.
- Attacking Your Opponent
By lining up Normal and Crash Gems, you can attack your opponent.
You can even line up multiple gems of the same color next to each
other for greater attacking power.
You can also form Power Gems by lining up four or more Normal
Gems in a square. This has more than twice the attack power than
if you destroy them separately. You can make the Power Gem as
big as you want, and when the right color Crash Gem hits - BOOM!
Your opponent is buried in Counter Gems.
- Chain Reactions
Sometimes, you can line up your Gems in such a way that they cause
a chain reaction. For instance, you can stack a green Power Gem
on a yellow Power Gem, and drop a Yellow/Green Crash Gem on it
to cause a chain reaction. Some of the more complicated maneuvers
take time and planning, but more often than not, a chain reaction
may be formed by accident.
- Losing a Round
You lose when your Gems get stacked all the way to the top of the
playing field (you know how that works).
