Introduction
Super Variable Geo (スーパーヴァリアブル・ジオ), or just Super V.G., is the only Super Nintendo entry of the long-running Japan-only fighting game series, which originated on the PC-98 computer back in 1993, and has spanned multiple consoles including the TurboGrafx-16, PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and PC, with more recent entries being visual novels. The series has hentai roots and association, but this is completely omitted from the SNES version. The basic plot revolves around restaurants who 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 II, however it only uses 4 buttons (2 punches and 2 kicks) of light and heavy strengths. It also features dashing and backdashing.
