help Power Stone FAQ
How do the Power Stones transform a fighter during a match?
Collecting three differently colored Power Stones triggers a temporary powered-up form with stronger attacks and character-specific super moves. Because an opponent can knock stones loose, controlling the arena matters as much as landing direct hits.
Why does Power Stone feel different from Tekken or Street Fighter?
Matches take place in free-roaming 3D arenas rather than on a traditional side-on plane. Fighters can climb scenery, throw objects, use weapons, and attack from different elevations, making movement and item control core mechanics.
Which version of Power Stone was released first?
Capcom first released Power Stone in arcades on Sega's NAOMI hardware in 1999, followed by the Dreamcast version that same year. The close relationship between NAOMI and Dreamcast hardware helped the home conversion resemble the arcade game.
What did Power Stone 2 add to the original game's formula?
Power Stone 2 expanded battles from two fighters to as many as four and added transforming, hazard-filled stages. It also introduced a larger item system, making the sequel more chaotic and party-oriented than the original.
