SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash/Joy Joy

Joy Joy is a small shop south of Osaka. It is named after a very Tetris-like puzzle game for the NeoGeo known as Puzzled, or Joy Joy Kid in Japan. In both versions, it is the easiest card fighting venue, and a very good place to build a preliminary deck. There are a few points of interest here:

• Taka (highlighted in yellow) offers a standard 2000 hit point battle, with the chance to receive three cards for a victory.
• Kid (highlighted in green), whom you must battle in order to win the Joy Joy coin, conducts a 3000 hit point battle and a five card reward for success.
• Lad, standing to the right of Kid, runs a card exchange shop. He will typically carry three C rank cards and one B rank card. To obtain one of the cards he has, you must trade in three cards of the same rank or better. He can only trade for a card once, and his entire list of cards changes after every five battles that you conduct.
• The upper-left corner of the shop has a Neo Carnival machine, from which cards can be obtained in the SNK version (it is broken in the Capcom version). Only one card can be picked from the machine at a time. If you want to pick another, you must first battle someone.

Finally, there is a bulletin board in the back. If you interact with it, it will share random tips about the game. There are actually two available spaces to read and each space has a unique set of tips.

After beating the game

The only change which takes place after you have beaten the game, is the appearance of Yosiki who may be seated at the lower table. Yosiki runs a special 3000 hit point, 5 card reward battle, where his deck is a mirror image of your own, making him particularly challenging to beat since you're so evenly matched. Beat him once to obtain a rare card. After that, the only character cards he awards after battle are Capcom characters.
