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, Power Stone 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.
-----------------------

For some reason I never paid Julia much attention back in the days of item grinding. In reality she is actually a pretty good character, though she gives off a lot of Mel vibes (considering they have identical animations, go figure).

But she's stronger than she looks. Her floating is valuable at times, and she's quick enough to get out of dodge when she needs to. As for her Power Fusions, I tend to stick to Merry-Go-Round, as it not only does VERY good damage but is as good defensively as it is offensively. It is also the only way to effectively take down Dr. Erode, so it's a blessing in a somewhat weird design. As for her other Fusion, Queen's Mischief, I tend to avoid using it. Fortunately you CAN use it 3 times in a row if you're quick enough, but still... it takes better aim and is difficult to use when being swarmed by the enemy.

I possibly avoided Julia in the past since I still don't understand for the life of me what she transforms into when she gets the Power Stones...lol.
