Sailor Moon Super S: Shin Shuyaku Soudatsusen (美少女びしょうじょ戦士せんしセーラームーンSuperSスーパーエス 真しん・主役しゅやく争奪戦そうだつせん Bishōjo Senshi Sailor Moon Super S: Shin Shuyaku Sōdatsusen lit. Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Super S: New Heroine Competition) is a 1996 fighting game by Angel released for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn (as Sailor Moon Super S: Various Emotion) that is based on the fourth season of the popular Sailor Moon anime series, which was adapted from the manga of the same name by Naoko Takeuchi. It is the third fighting game based on the series, in where the player can choose their favorite Sailor Senshi to fight against others, or have two players choose their favorite to fight against each other.
Bad Qualities
General
- The intro is terrible even by PS1 and Saturn standards.
- Terrible CGI models of the Senshi, albeit with terribly-looking sprites and very stiff animations using PowerAnimator, Softimage, LightWave and 3D Studio Max.
- Abysmal CGI animation that looks like an old Atari Jaguar or a Nintendo 64 video game and also looks similar to Les Fables géométriques, Quarxs, Music Fantasy Dream, Imaginaria, the 1993-1999 VeggieTales videos, ReBoot, Insektors, Elroy's Toy, Imaginit, The Nuttiest Nutcracker, Whacked! and Hoodwinked!.
- Heck, it looks even worse than the Sailor Moon S video game for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer.
- The Inners and Sailor Saturn have the same facial build on their portraits just with different eye colors and different hair and uniform colors. Only the Outers (Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) have unique and cute faces.
- Lame gameplay, all you need to do is fighting against other Sailor Scout to become a better fighters. Also, there's no villains to fight in this game, which is adding missed opportunity.
- Plus, it doesn't show the player the controls or even a tutorial, leading the player in confusion.
- Also, the controls is very delayed and frustrating at times.
- Unbalanced difficulties. Some character are overpowered, others are ranging from weak to strong.
- A poor CGI rendition of the anime's opening theme (Moonlight Densetsu), coupled with a terribly CGI animated intro.
- The animation feel bad and looks like they use cheap animation like MMD (MikuMikuDance) or Blender.
- The game contradicts what both manga and anime say.
- Sailor Uranus' symbol ( ♅ ) and Sailor Neptune's symbol ( ♆ ) are swapped if one wins as either one.
- Sailor Neptune's suit is incorrectly colored; her sailor collar is dark blue when it should be teal and her back bow is teal when it should be dark blue.
- Sailor Neptune and Sailor Pluto's songs are swapped on both of their levels.
- Poor audio mixing.
PlayStation Version
- In this version, they were no cutscenes in the story mode.
- Long loading times for this version.
- Poor graphics for PS1 standards that worse than Sega Saturn, the character models are ugly pre-rendered and the backgrounds are obviously screenshots from the anime.
Good Qualities
General
- Excluding the bad cover of Moonlight Densetsu, the soundtrack is surprisingly good.
- The PlayStation version has rare CGI animated FMVs with transformations and attacks in the story mode, even for PlayStation standards, are okay and they were not as bad as the plain and boring text cutscenes.
- The voice actor is good and it's reprising from the series.
- At least is better than this game.
Sega Saturn Version
- This version has actual cutscenes that look like they came straight out of the 90s anime.
- This version has quicker loading times and better background.
