For those who don't know, Power Stone was a full 3D fighting game exclusive to the SEGA Dreamcast, and to be honest one of my favorites . The sequel, Powerstone 2, removed much of the finer and skillful mechanics of the first game and made it into more of a party game, what with an entire book of items to use, more characters, and the introduction of moving stages.
It's hard to appreciate as a fighting game, but imo it's a top notch party game. That being said the 1 player adventure mode can be tough at the highest level (8), what with the game's cheap A.I. and damage outputs there.
-----------------
Short and sweet, my favorite character in the series got a pretty bad downgrade from Power Stone 1. One of the slowest characters in the game, weaker than the other strong characters, worse defense than the strong characters, all around worse than in PS1. sigh
Getting straight to the point, Galuda's only real offense is his wall attack, which is really the only thing to spam to guarantee victory against the CPU opponents. His fusions are kinda bad damage-wise, but if it comes down to it it's best to chance using Heaven's Victory to slam the enemy into oblivion. Light of Vengeance (the arrows) is useful in certain situations, but its damage isnt reliable.
As for Dr. Erode, ironically Light of Vengeance is the only way to take him out unless you have some good items. So yea...Galuda is probably the only character that really needs luck with power stones -_-
