This is a playthrough using Falco and Oume & Otane in the Arcade version of Groove On Fight. Read on below for more information...

Falco and Oume & Otane are the mid-bosses who appear on stage 5 in single player mode. They are regular playable characters from the start.

===== ABOUT FALCO =====

Falco is an expert at games especially of the gambling variety. One night when he was in one of Otane's casinos in Japan, he met the Goketsuji sisters. He played poker against Oume, in which he won overwhelmingly. Angered by the defeat, Oume attacked Falco, where he was able to easily evade most of her strikes due to his ability to mind-read his opponents. Otane, who was watching the fight, was impressed by Falco's fighting skills and stopped Oume. As a result, Otane then asked Falco to team up with them for the Goketsuji tournament in exchange for a monetary reward.

Falco is one of those "master-gambler-who-uses-gambling-game-items-to-fight" character designs... we've seen a handful of these over the years in fighting games. He has a rather interesting special move where he generates Slots, in which the outcome can vary randomly, giving different results.

===== ABOUT OUME & OTANE =====

In Groove On Fight, this character is basically both Oume and Otane, with each other strapped to their backs. Therefore the sisters are technically only "one" character. The story is that since Oume decided to share the position of Clan Leader with Otane, it meant that the both of them would have to fight in the tournament registered as one person. They chose Falco to partner them.

The sisters retain their signature moves and special moves from the previous Power Instinct games for Groove On Fight, however there is no instance where you can control the younger versions of them anymore, instead they just appear for specific moves and win poses.

===== ADDITIONAL INFORMATION =====

---- During Oume & Otane's super move (called the Ichizoku), the cast of Power Instinct 2 appear in the rush.

---- There is/was a rumor that Falco's portrait image is designed using actor Sean Connery's face as a base.

---- GOF is the 4th game in the Power Instinct series and the storyline of it is set 20 years into the future after the other Power Instinct games, which would chronologically make it the latest.

---- The game can also be known as Goketsuji Ichizoku 3 or Power Instinct 3.

===== ABOUT GROOVE ON FIGHT =====

This is a 2-on-2 fighter where players have the ability to tag in and out at any time during a match, much like Capcom's first three Marvel versus games.

The game has a far less "comical" vibe than the other games in this franchise, resulting in a much darker and serious tone. Otane/Oume are the only character(s) to make a return from the prequel games.

Graphically-wise, the style of GOF is very different to the other games in the Power Instinct franchise, offering smaller character sprites but having more fluid animation on them. As the game has to store up to four different characters for a match, it was very impressive for it's time.

Compared to the Saturn port of the game, the Arcade version is probably the one to go for due to all the characters having their original full animation frames (the Saturn version had LOADS of animation frames cut) and no loading times. However, the Saturn version does have it's own advantages such as having all three bosses being playable along with them having ending sequences, as well as the usual console option features.
