__NOTOC__
==Introduction==
'''Super V.G.''' (Variable Geo) is the Super Nintendo entry of a long-running Japan-only fighting game series, originating on an old NEC PC variant, and spanning multiple consoles including the Turbo Grafx CD, Playstation, Saturn, and PC, with more recent entries being visual novels. The series has a hentai association, but this is completely omitted from the SNES version (thankfully). The basic plot is that restaurants sponsor their waitresses in a fighting tournament to find the strongest female, in order to gain popularity and patronage.
 
==Gameplay==
This entry in the series, while being released in 1995, has a simple engine very similar to ''Street Fighter 2'', however it only uses 4 buttons (2 punches and 2 kicks), of light and heavy strengths. It also features dashing and backdashing.

'''Super Variable Geo''' (スーパーヴァリアブル・ジオ), or just '''Super V.G.''' or '''SVG''', is the only Super Famicom entry of the long-running Japan-only bishoujou fighting game series which originated on the PC-98 back in 1993 and has since spanned across multiple consoles including the TurboGrafx-16, Sony PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and modern PC, with its more recent entries instead being visual novels. The series features an all-female cast of unique characters and has hentai origins and association, but that is completely omitted from the SFC version. The basic plot revolves around restaurants that sponsor their waitresses in a weaponless fighting tournament hosted by Reimi Jahana to crown the strongest female (or "'''V'''irgin '''G'''oddess") in order to gain popularity and patronage.

''Super V.G.'' is a watered-down version of its TG-16 predecessor ''Advanced V.G.'', losing story mode, a combo meter, juggles, Clone Yuka, two secret characters, and various character-specific specials. (Basically the game had to be stripped—''pun unintended''—to fit into an SFC cart.) In exchange, matches are more grounded, possessing an increased footsie-based neutral game. It also has a heavy sway toward matchup composition where counterpicks can become extremely noteworthy. There are notable flaws with the system and its characters, and there's tech that can be frustrating to deal with, but nothing that makes this title unplayable. The gameplay is smooth, controls are overall solid, and combos range from simple cancels to frame-perfect links. Most players who are familiar with the series are probably more drawn toward ''Advanced V.G. 2'' as the "Super Turbo" of the V.G. Universe, and for good reason, but ''Super V.G.'' should not be overlooked and is arguably the next best game in the series. This title still holds up well and can be played at both a fun and competitive level.

*[[Kaori (SVG)|Kaori]] - A computer nerd. Penultimate boss.
*[[Reimi (SVG)|Reimi]] - The main boss character.


==Basic System Overview==
Already the meeting has been held three times to count, the defending champion Reimi Jahana has not been defeated, at least not yet ..
* ''Super Variable Geo'' runs at 60FPS.
* There is no chaining system (besides rapid-fire Lights). All combos are performed through links. ''(Plinking is possible in this.)''
* There is no air guarding. If you get knocked out the air while holding backward on the joystick, the direction has to be re-input upon landing else you won't be guarding on the ground.
* Backdashes are all invincible for their entire duration except the last one or two frames (character dependent), where then the player can then only guard. Ayako has the best backdash at 25F; Eleanor/Erina & Kaori both have the worst at only 9F.
* Everyone has '''1680''' vitality, and all characters take the same amount of damage from attacks.
* There is no damage scaling. All hits do their full 100% damage regardless of where they are in a combo.
* Everyone has at least one throw using [[Image:B.png|35px]]/[[Image:F.png|35px]] + [[Image:HP.png|25px]]. Throws cannot be escaped or softened.
* Super Arts are only available when the character has 33% HP or less. All involve a '''command + [[Image:AnyP.png|25px]][[Image:AnyK.png|25px]]''' input. The 'PK' must be the same strength, but there is no difference between pressing both Lights versus both Heavys.
* Once a character is at 33% HP, they can perform an infinite amount of Super attacks.

Super V.G.: Variable Geo
Developer(s) TGL
Publisher(s) TGL
Release Date JP: July 21, 1995


Super Variable Geo (スーパーヴァリアブル・ジオ), or just Super V.G. or SVG, is the only Super Famicom entry of the long-running Japan-only bishoujou fighting game series which originated on the PC-98 back in 1993 and has since spanned across multiple consoles including the TurboGrafx-16, Sony PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and modern PC, with its more recent entries instead being visual novels. The series features an all-female cast of unique characters and has hentai origins and association, but that is completely omitted from the SFC version. The basic plot revolves around restaurants that sponsor their waitresses in a weaponless fighting tournament hosted by Reimi Jahana to crown the strongest female (or "Virgin Goddess") in order to gain popularity and patronage.

Super V.G. is a watered-down version of its TG-16 predecessor Advanced V.G., losing story mode, a combo meter, juggles, Clone Yuka, two secret characters, and various character-specific specials. (Basically the game had to be stripped—pun unintended—to fit into an SFC cart.) In exchange, matches are more grounded, possessing an increased footsie-based neutral game. It also has a heavy sway toward matchup composition where counterpicks can become extremely noteworthy. There are notable flaws with the system and its characters, and there's tech that can be frustrating to deal with, but nothing that makes this title unplayable. The gameplay is smooth, controls are overall solid, and combos range from simple cancels to frame-perfect links. Most players who are familiar with the series are probably more drawn toward Advanced V.G. 2 as the "Super Turbo" of the V.G. Universe, and for good reason, but Super V.G. should not be overlooked and is arguably the next best game in the series. This title still holds up well and can be played at both a fun and competitive level.
