History YMMV / SuperGemFighter

* CrossesTheLineTwice: The Toy Shop Dhalsim stage has stuff you'd expect in a Christmas movie, like Balrog and Cammy staring into the toy store's display window. And then off to the side is Jon Tolbain waving a WhiteFlag in fear as B.B. Hood angrily ''holds a gun to his head''. [[TwistedChristmas Merry Christmas!]]

* PolishedPort: Surprisingly, the UsefulNotes/WonderSwan version of the game's considered a great port.

** One version of Akuma's Shun Goku Satsu in this game actually shows brief flashes of him attacking his victim--the exact same depiction the move would get many years later in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV''.

* UnexpectedCharacter: Within a roster of playable characters from ''VideoGame/StreetFighter'' and ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'', ''VideoGame/RedEarth'''s Tessa is a surprising inclusion, given that her source game had only been released the year before.

** One of Chun-Li's Flash Combos ends with her, in a schoolgirl outfit, [[LoveLetterLunacy handing a love letter to her opponent]]. No matter their gender (or species, in the case of [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan, Felicia, and Hsien-Ko]]), the opponent will be swooning with hearts in their eyes upon reading the contents of Chun-Li's message.

** When Ryu's Hadoken is fully leveled up, it turns into a larger electric projectile capable of multiple hits and increased stun (much like the Denjin Hadoken), which is more or less how Ryu's Denjin Renki V-Trigger in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' functions. Similarly, Ken's flame-attribute attacks here would be mirrored by his EX moves and Heat Rush V-Trigger in ''V'', notably his use of the Shakunetsu Hadoken that usually goes to Ryu.

* [[MarthDebutedInSmashBros Tessa Debuted In Gem Fighter]]: More people tend to recognize Tessa from this game (or ''VideoGame/SNKVsCapcomSVCChaos'') than from her actual game of ''Red Earth'' since that game never got a console release.

* HilariousInHindsight: Ibuki's kunai throw and Kasumi Suzaku moves have her briefly change into [[VideoGame/FinalFight Rolento's]] outfit. Then comes ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' which has Rolento as a playable character, and guess who he's paired up with. (It's not Sodom.) Also in her ending, she encounters Guy. In the opening of ''Super VideoGame/StreetFighterIV'', she's once again tangling with Guy.

* HoYay: One of Sakura's supers summons two really burly guys who wouldn't look out of place in ''VideoGame/ChoAniki'' to grab the opponent and carry them offscreen to... do something to them, then promptly eject them back onto the battlefield. Notice they have hearts in their eyes when they're brought back. Now notice it can be done on the male characters as well as females. This includes Akuma as well.

* UnfortunateImplications: Sakura's aforementioned burly guy super when done on females. Possible offscreen BlackComedyRape? How's that explain when they get heart eyes?

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: The whole game! But most notably doing any of the more comical moves on Akuma (Such as Chun-Li's Love Letter move) and watching his reactions, which happen to be the same as everyone else's.
** Performing Akuma or Dan's special grab (via normal means or Flash Combo), which will cause the victim to JawDrop and be petrified. The JawDrop animation is incredibly funny to watch, and yes, Akuma can jawdrop too.
** Chun-Li's aforementioned Love Letter special grab where she dons a schoolgirl outfit and, in typical high school anime teen girl fashion, shyly hands her opponent a love letter while giggling, stunning them and amazing them, even sprouting heart eyes. ''This can even happen to AKUMA''. Also worth noting is that in case Chun-Li missed, she'll also pout, complete with a heartbroken word bubble.
** Dan's Super Taunt is back and is practically channeling nearly ''every'' funny face he could muster, including covered with ink (which can be achieved if he's hit with Ibuki's Down+Circle attack), his JawDrop, flattened to ground, Elvis dancing, etc.
** Dan's ending. He takes Sakura as his student and teaches her Saikyo-Ryu Karate. Then a few days later she mails him a letter saying she unlearned it because it looks retarded and useless
