Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix - Sakura 1CC

"Would you like to join the Young Bubbys Club?"
This is a game I've always had a soft spot for. Aren't the designs super cute! The Flash Combo system is also really easy to get into, and it's a fun game even for beginner fighting gamers!
I get a huge kick out of Sakura's special grab super. What the heck even, lmao.
I also tried to shoot for the secret Akuma fight, but I just couldn't get it to pop. IIRC it's:
-Finish at least 2 rounds in 20 seconds
-Finish at least 2 rounds at at least 90% health
-Finish at least 2 rounds with your special move gauges at Level 3 while the enemy's are at Level 1
-Finish at least 6 rounds with a Mighty Combo Finish
-Never lose a round
-Do all of the above before you reach the 8th stage
I wonder if it's only on the console versions, or if I'm just slaaackin' lol. Ultimately, once I got to Ibuki during this run, I just went "oh I'll just settle for the 1CC!" (Sending her to join the Young Bubbys Club def made up for the lost round lmao.)
It's such a fun little game. The PS1 version's also super enjoyable too, thanks to its Edit Fighter quiz and AI battler. If you ever get the chance, def give it a try!
Played on Switch via Capcom Fighting Collection, default setting.
