Marvel Super Heroes (Arcade) Shuma-Gorath Run

Before the PS1 version of this game, I never had any idea who Shuma-Gorath was, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, here.

It took me even more years to discover that he's one of the villains to Doctor Strange. If it weren't for balancing the game, he'd be the absolute most powerful character in the game. He could destroy several galaxies at once just by approaching them.

His super combo, Chaos Dimension, is a two-stage attack. First, Shuma glows to get ready, then while he's glowing, you have to use a medium or hard attack to command grab the opponent before his glow is gone. Then he'll do the actual attack that has does a lot of damage.

Shuma is also unique in that one of his two throws sucks the life out of his opponent. It's fun to use this while the Soul Gem is activated. You can potentially get your Perfect back this way.

His specialty gem, like Hulk's, is also the Time Gem. Alongside speeding him up like usual, it also makes all of Shuma's attacks turn the opponent into stone. Use this all to extend your combos in ways you couldn't pull off before, like what I did in this video.

--------------

At the end, after beating the supervillain, Thanos, since Shuma-Gorath himself is a villain, his use of all the Infinity Gem doesn't free the heroes that were turned to stone on Thanos' stage.

With all of the Gems, Shuma-Gorath becomes a giant of unspeakable infinite power, making the entire universe and beyond his own destructive playground as he can do with it whatever he pleases.

As a side note, Japan loves this character, which is likely why Capcom put him in this game.

Gee, I simply wonder why...?!
