Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (1996)

Building a large gem block creates delicious suspense: cash it in now, or leave room for an even nastier counterattack? The falling-pair controls are simple enough for a quick local rivalry, but the timing and character-specific attacks provide depth. Capcom Fighting Collection contains it, although this game is the collection's exception without a training mode. Learn in low-stakes matches before judging your progress against the CPU.
