Pocket Fighter (Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix outside Japan), its a 2D arcade fighting game develop by Capcom for the CPS II system in '''1997'''. The most notable aspect its the '''chibi looking graphics''', this is because the original idea of the game was to be "a '''Street Fighter for Kids'''", which it would lead to the use of the SD (Super Deformed) '''art'''. The game '''its a spin-off of the puzzle game''': Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (a spin-off of the original Super Street FIghter II Turbo and Street Fighter Alpha), from which it would inherit some of the characters cast, the art style and one of the key mechanics of the game: '''The Gems'''.

== Items ==
The main Items and that give the gimmick to this game are the "Gems"; with three types of: red, yellow, and blue will appear randomly, and by obtaining them, the special move gauge corresponding to each color will be accumulated, making the level rise and the special move will grow, and the performance improves. The maximum level is up to 3In addition to Gems, there are other types of items that appear on-screen. The items that can be dropped are Food (which restores life; the bigger the Food, the more life restored), and Item Balls. You collect items by passing over them. There are two ways of collecting items: Treasure Chests and Item Carriers
 
  
=== The Gems ===
+
=== Gems ===
One of the most important parts of this game is the addition of Power Gems. Gems can be obtained from hitting your opponent, from hitting treasure boxes that are sometimes on the ground, or from hitting the Item Carriers.
 
Each Gem color represents a different special attack your character can do. For instance, Ryu's Hadoken has the Red Gem behind it. The more Gems you collect, the stronger it will become!
 
Certian attacks during Flash combos will release more Gems, and some Super Combo's can release dozens of Gems at once!
 
  
 
=== Item Balls ===
 
=== Item Balls ===
Orbs that cause damage to your opponent if it hits them, or inflict some other unwanted effect. Fighters begin each battle with one, and can hold up to three at a time.
 
  
 
=== Food ===
 
=== Food ===
The food restores the life of the fighter. As mentioned before, the bigger the food is (Ex. The pizza, the big Golden Apple or a whole Steamed Cow) the more your life will be restored (around 15% of the total life). Those can be obteined in Treasure Chest or hitting the Pig Item Carrier, TonTon.
 
  
 
=== Treasure Chests ===
 
=== Treasure Chests ===
Hitting someone with either the fourth normal hit in a Flash combo, a guard cancel, a parry, or a fully charged unblockable causes a treasure chest to appear. These chests then open upon landing, releasing either gems, food or items.
 
  
At the start of the round, a treasure chest sits in the middle of the stage. This one always holds at least one big gem and can be opened by hitting it. The gems fly out upwards in the direction of the one who opened it. It's up to you whether you want to go for it, ignore it, or try and hit someone that tries to open it for themselves.
+
=== Item Carriers ===
  
 
=== Item Carriers ===
 
Little guys in clouds will fly by across the top of the screen, and will drop Item Balls or Food if you hit them. The item carriers all represent characters from Capcom's SonSon game, and it's sequel. Just as in the Journey to the West legend, a monkey (Sonson) accompanied a monk (Sanjou) and his horse, and they were joined by a pig (Tonton) and a turtle (Kappa). The Kaminari (or lightning monster) appears in the stages of SonSon II when a player takes too long and shocks them. Kaminari has the ability to inflict damage to the player in the game if they attack him at the wrong time.

Enabling turbo speeds can cause specific ''display'' frames to be dropped. However, ''internally'' the game still processes these frames, but cuts this frame and the preceding frame's ''realtime'' durations in half, packing them both into the duration of one ''display frame''. I'll just call these "'''split'''" frames for convenience. This can lead to situations where a link which occurs ''internally'' during a 1F window will require a button press in '''half''' of a ''display frame's'' duration in ''realtime''. Check out this article from Capcom for more in-depth information: <span class="outbound">[https://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column/131667 https://game.capcom.com/cfn/sfv/column/131667]</span>

I don't know if it's actually possible to input a button press in the half frame window required, and I don't know how to test if half frame inputs can even exist on an emulator running the game at 60fps. It will also be impossible to know whether your button will need to be pressed on the ''early half'' or the ''late half'' of this "'''split'''" frame. It might be best to just consider these frames '''dropped''' in practice. If the input frames really are skipped, this could also cause some +1 advantage situations to occasionally give you a neutral situation.

<span class="outbound">([https://youtu.be/y9NU10a-pgI?t=1256 Veri7as: Turbo Speeds in Capcom Fighting Games])</span> This video analyzes alpha 2, but it seems that the skipped input frames in that game are actually a coding error. It should still be possible for different capcom games to have split frame links if this bug was ever fixed.

While using any speed faster than slow will probably cause you to drop 1F links and reversal windows if they happen to occur on one of these "'''split'''" frames, more offensive strategies will become viable at higher speeds due to the reduced reaction windows. Because of this, most people seem to prefer either Fast or Normal speeds. If you are a lagger make sure to use '''Fast''' to enhance the effect.

Hitting the opponent causes gems to fly out. Each gem colour corresponds to one of your special moves (shown at the bottom of the screen) and picking up enough of these will level up that particular special move, up to a maximum of 3. Higher level specials on average do more damage, have more hits and are in general more flashy however they can also come with greater recovery. At times the overall function of a special can significantly change based on level, so it is important to pay attention to and play around gems. As well, some specials will have more benefits on lower levels at the moment you play neutral than with full lvl. up ones. It´s also important to know when to collect Gems, as good as leveling specials sound, getting the life and neutral adavantage on the screen is more important than hunting Gems whenever you see them, specially with Guard Crush easily stealing your Levels.

The more hits you do in a combo, the more gems you'll get. Very high combo counts also give you bigger gems, meaning certain random supers can pay for themselves in meter from gems AND MORE if they actually hit. The rich get richer, so don't hoard your meter.
