Starting off 2022 with a parody of Super Street Fighter Turbo II, a unique puzzle versus game that rewards setting up blocks for massive combos. I spent a few hours on this game and did some normal runs and this game is pretty challenging. I'm actually not much of a Capcom guy or a Street Fighter guy myself but the novelty and gameplay is good here albeit it's a bit clunky and some awful balancing.

If you love Street Fighter, the charm is here in spades. The character interactions are pretty great here and the iconic characters act how they would act. Also pretty crazy to play a Capcom game other than Marvel vs Capcom that they actually acknowledge Darkstalkers here with what I'm guessing is half the cast here. The music is alright here as well, fit the whole charm of the game.

The gameplay for this game is a bit odd though, so what's different is that the main blocks can't break each other but only specific blocks can break them and it just sorta felt clunky to me especially building up combos is fun enough but not when you need that specific block for what feels like forever. I won't say I'm that good at puzzle games maybe except Tetris at a decent level and even this game kicked my ass with spending like 2 hours before I turned down the difficulty to finally beat the game a few times via arcade mode.

I can see someone really enjoying this if they enjoy the properties and the gameplay that rewards combos and stacking albeit with more steps. Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo is a game with a lot of charm but brings on some annoyances and at times even unrewarding gameplay.

Thanks to goznog for the recommendation.
