Don't you recognize me? Cyberbots is Capcom's 1 game.
I know you want me, but can you handle it?
Let the gems hold you as I plan for your death.

Devilot's Stage
My two Euro-cents
Even if Devilot and Akuma have a very similar pattern, play both of them and
you'll surely notice that the best counter gem pattern of the entire Puzzle
Fighter is Devilot's one, due to the way the pattern's diagonal runs (from
upper left to lower right) because thanks to that way is more difficult
to the opponent to setup against. Anyway, the kind of pattern both Devilot
and Akuma have is clearly the best beacuse it does not offer a single disadvantage:
no power gems yielded, no runs or towers left, no nothing! The price Devilot's
and Akuma's players have to pay for this unique pattern is that all the
attacks they do using crash gems are worth only from 1/2 to 2/3 the value
they would be for the other fighters. Also, this means that even the value
of a defense against an opponent's attack is halved or reduced to 2/3 of
the original, but luckily the damage coming from attacks using a diamond
gem is not modified in any way.
Despite of this drawback, I think Devilot is a playable charachter, even
more than Akuma, meaning she is not useless and that you can win a consistent
number of games using her. The lack of any advantage for the opponent in
her counter gem pattern lets you make small attacks without the fear to
help your opponent in building a setup, but with the confidence you'll usually
mess it up instead. More, you have to learn how to effectively use chains,
and how to exploit every single advantage the opponent's counter gem pattern
let you take. The last requirment is patience: since the drawback, playing
Devilot means often to engage a long battle, and patience and hard work
only can lead you to the final victory.
