For those who don't know, Power Stone was a full 3D fighting game exclusive to the SEGA Dreamcast, and to be honest one of my favorites . The sequel, Powerstone 2, removed much of the finer and skillful mechanics of the first game and made it into more of a party game, what with an entire book of items to use, more characters, and the introduction of moving stages.

It's hard to appreciate as a fighting game, but imo it's a top notch party game. That being said the 1 player adventure mode can be tough at the highest level (8), what with the game's cheap A.I. and damage outputs there.
-----------------
I'm not sure why I had such difficulties pulling this off with my second favorite character, considering he's a monster when handled correctly. His only real issues is the last boss, but I'll touch on that in a bit.

Jack is pretty delicate when it comes to defense, though he's stronger than other characters with similar defense, speed, and jump, which is pretty damn good imo. He's low to the ground which lets him dodge a whole lot of stuff, and whatever he picks up does more damage. Not to mention he has an easy job of getting around with his flying kick. Pretty sweet.

When powered up, he can bring the pain with two devastating Fusions, Killer Dance and Misery Rain, the latter of which is one of the best Fusions in the game. Not to mention his basic attack Round Slash is great for anyone trying to get too close.

His only issue is, like a few other characters, taking down Dr. Erode. In order to bring his heart out with Fusions, you need to hit him with Misery Rain when the swords both rise and fall, TWICE in a row. On level 8, it's just not going to happen. In the end, Jack relies on Misery Rain and quick fingers to pull through.
