Help Gingy find out what this anime is! Played a game based off of it 17 yrs ago

(1/2) > >>

Gingy:
Well, approximately 17 years ago.

 Anyways, back when the SNES was still new and cool, my brother had a friend who had this device that could be inserted into the SNES like a cartridge, and he would insert floppy disks into that device and play the game with the SNES.

 One game I particularly like(depite the fact that I didn't know a lick of...any languages) was a turn-based fighter that looks like it's obviously based off an anime, mostly because my brother and friend knew all the characters and story it seemed.

 
 Anyways, my memory is hazy since it's so long ago, but here's roughly what I know about the game

-it's OLD, meaning the anime it's based off of is pretty damn old itself, and the game was in japanese
-most likely shounen
-it had a large roster of characters

 Here's the tiny bits and pieces I can remember of the kind of characters the game had...

-some kid with a yoyo and what looks like electric powers, similar to HxH's Killua
-some guy who flicks beads
-some guy who shoots a beam by making a gun motion with his hand
-some guy who takes out his hand to reveal a cannon
-some guy with "Goku-hair" and a 3rd eye
-some black haired guy/girl wearing a mask covering his/her mouth, his/her hair turns yellow when the mask is gone I think. I do know that he/she fights by summoning little things
-some guy who seems to control floating hands
-some plant using guy/girl

Sorry for the vague description, but ~17 years can make memories realy hazy, does anyone know any really old shounen anime with that combination of characters? An anime that was around, oh....probably during or before the SNES era.

I googled these descriptions, but...these vague descriptions do not exactly give any results

Xamdiz:
Yu Yu Hakusho?

It fits some of your description and have a lot game adaptation.

watson374:
Does my avatar remind you of it? If so, YYH.

I mean, it definitely sounds like YYH to me.

GBolt:
It does indeed. There are characters for each of your descriptions (less or more). Does this image look anything like it?

THATS IT! I see the guy with the crazy hair, the guy/girl with the mask, that guy with the cannon in his arm, that yoyo kid, that female character...

Seems like the consensus is Yuyu Hakusho...I guess I only started thinking about this game because Watson's avatar must have triggered a memory.


 I remember being rather curious about what that game was based off of. So it's some ultra-obscure 90's anime.
 Hmm, I guess it was just my imagination that the cast was big. I always had the impression that game had a lot of characters.

Whelp that was resolved fast...
