10	''Gōketsuji Ichizoku 3: Groove on Fight'', known simply as ''Groove on Fight'', is a FightingGame developed by Creator/{{Atlus}} and is known as the DistantFinale of the ''VideoGame/PowerInstinct'' series, made in a different way than the parent games, being DarkerAndEdgier, similar to that of ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'', but still maintains some of the same humor that is particular to the series. Also the game is full of OriginalGeneration characters, with the [[VillainProtagonist Goketsuji sisters]] as the only returning character, as well some of the [[LegacyCharacter children of the characters]] from the previous titles.
11
12	The story of this {{sequel}} of the ''Power Instinct'' series takes place 20 years after the last Goketsuji tournament. Because the lack of family members, Oume and Otane makes an open tournament for the first time in the series in searching for a successor in the family. The graphic style of ''Groove on Fight'' is very different from its predecessors, as the sprites are smaller, but are more fluid and have an animated look to them much like several other 2D fighting games.
13
14	The game was released on Arcades in April 1997 and only received a home release on the Usefulnotes/SegaSaturn. Neither it or its console port [[NoExportForYou received a release outside of Japan]], but however we could play it thanks to some distribution on Arcades outside Japan, as well by UsefulNotes/{{Emulation}}. It was the last game in the series that was fully developed by Atlus.

18	!!''Groove on Fight'' provides the following tropes:
19	* AlternateCompanyEquivalent:
20	** With Creator/{{SNK}}'s ''VideoGame/GarouMarkOfTheWolves'', the DistantFinale title of the ''VideoGame/FatalFury'' series that has a redesign in the sprites and has most of the cast being OriginalGeneration with a returning character (Terry Bogard) and a LegacyCharacter (Rock Howard).
21	** For the DarkerAndEdgier theme and the detail on sprites, also is this for Creator/{{Psikyo}}'s ''Videogame/DarakuTenshiTheFallenAngels''.
22	* AnimeHair: Hizumi Yukinoue has an anti-gravity haircut similar to [[VideoGame/FatalFury Joe Higashi]].
23	%% * BeastAndBeauty: The team of M.A.D. and Solis.
24	%% * BigBad: Bristol-D.
25	* ChainedHeat: Even when they're still rivals, Goketsuji sisters are chained together back-to-back fighting as one person in order to not to be defeated against the new (and considerably younger) fighters.

29	* CoolTeacher: Larry, a [[BadassTeacher fighting teacher]] who's also the mentor of Chris (and is {{sexy\|Mentor}} too).
30	* {{Cosplay}}: Popura Hananokōji. Apart of having a magic wand and make magical tricks like her mother, she also can transforms her outfit into different cosplay outfits when she's attacking.
31	* DarkerAndEdgier: This game is probably the darkest game on the series, not just in story, the colors are greyish and the backgrounds almost all are lifeless and creepy.
32	* DeathDealer: Falco. He uses poker cards as well TabletopGame/{{mahjong}} tiles to attack the opponent.
33	* {{Delinquent}}: Chris, even more than his father. His story got Larry as his mentor in a way to change his ways just like his father did by himself decades ago.
34	* DistantFinale: ''Groove on Fight'' takes place 20 years after the last Goketsuji tournament (at least after ''Legends'').
35	%% * ExtremityExtremist: Bristol Weller only uses his kicks to fight [[spoiler:(or if he's losing, his pistol).]]
36	%% * FairCop: Solis.

43	--> ''I am the girl that fights for the future!''
44	* LegacyCharacter: Chris Wayne and Popura Hananokōji, both the offsprings of Chris Wayne with Annie Hamilton, and Kurara Hananokōji, respectively. Also, both characters have a StrongFamilyResemblance, Chris in the {{moveset\|Clone}} and Popura in the look.
45	%% * MadScientist: M.A.D. (his acronym/real name goes further with this).
46	* MagicalGirl: Popura and Remi, both girls use magic to fight the rest of the characters. Remi also qualifies as DarkMagicalGirl, which outfit makes her look as a CuteWitch.

54	* MusicalAssassin: Remi Otogiri, a DarkMagicalGirl that uses musical notes to attack the opponent and even has a {{mon}} that also resembles one. Sujiroku Tenjinbashi technically count too, since [[DualWielding his two sticks]] used in fights are also his drumsticks he used for the festival.
55	* MusicalThemeNaming: Remi's first name is the union of the Solfege music notes ''Re'' (D) and ''Mi'' (E).
56	* NeverMessWithGranny: Goketsuji sisters, being so lethal as in the main series, at the point of being the {{mid boss}}es of the game.
57	* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Larry Light, a teacher biker adventurer archeologist fighter.
58	* OriginalGeneration: With the exception of Oume and Otane, all characters are original to this game.
59	* {{Otaku}}: Hizumi Yukinoue is a fanatic of Japanese culture, not just of anime but of {{ninja}}s in general, probably the main reason why he made a team with Sujiroku, a traditional Japanese drummer with an {{oni}} mask.

67	* ShoutOut: Bristol Weller's BadassInANiceSuit look and [[ExtremityExtremist kick-heavy]] fighting style seem to be heavily inspired by ''[[Film/DrunkenMaster Drunken Master II]]''[='=]s DragonInChief Tan Chang / John.
68	%% * SilverFox: Falco. Larry certainly qualifies.
69	%% * SNKBoss: Bristol-D.
