==Introduction==
'''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.

* Moves can hit MID, LOW, or HIGH. All characters have two LOW attacks: 2LK and 2HK. Chiho and Satomi have additional command LOWs. Jumping attacks are always HIGH.
* There is no chaining system (besides rapid-fire Lights). All combos are performed via links. ''(Plinking is possible.)''
