History VideoGame / PowerStone

* CapcomVsWhatever: One of only two Capcom franchises to have never appeared in a CapcomVsWhatever proper (the other being the ''BreathOfFire'' series). Made even more bizarre that this is the sole ''fighting game series'' by Capcom that has never appeared in a CapcomVsWhatever involving their own intellectual property.

* DubNameChange: His name is "Fokker" in Japanese and "Falcon" in English. [[UnfortunateName Guess why]].

[[caption-width-right:350: Looks like Wang Tang is getting a different set of Power Stones charged up...]]

** Falcon does get a few cameos, though; he appears in a stage for CapcomVsSNK2MarkOfTheMillennium, and in UltimateMarvelVSCapcom3 he is a collectible card.

** He also resembles [[{{Xenogears}} Fei Fong Wong]].

* ShoutOut: Some of the transformations look awfully familiar, like [[DragonBallZ Wang-Tang's]], [[RoninWarriors Ryoma's]], [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Galuda's]], and [[FantasticFour Gunrock's]].

** Valgas' face resembles a RaceLift-ed [[{{Darkstalkers}} Demitri]].

** Because [[MagikarpPower her super mode is AWESOME]].

* SNKBoss: '''''Valgas.''''' Aside from the fact that beating him may require several tries with difficulty set to 1 (with a maximum of ''[[BeyondTheImpossible eight]]''), what makes him so cheap is that not only his grab can make you lose ''two'' Power Stones at once, but said stones also tend to ''bounce out of your reach '''and''' right next to him'', with him usually entering his SuperMode while you're still getting back up. The fact his OneWingedAngel is actually ''[[ClippedWingAngel weaker]]'' than him [[AnticlimaxBoss (with obvious results:]] "Final Valgas" can be easily beaten ''at the first try'') shouldn't surprise anyone.

Not to be confused with a certain weapon from ''MegaMan4''.

Gameplay in the ''Power Stone'' series is unconventional, at least compared to the [[StreetFighter many]] [[CapcomVsWhatever other]] [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} fighting]] [[RivalSchools games]] by {{Capcom}} itself. For starters, fights take place in 3-D arenas. Items appear throughout the levels, such as weapons and the titular power-ups-slash-[[MacGuffin MacGuffins]] power stones. When a fighter collects three of these, he or she transforms into a powered form for a limited time.
