Gameplay[]
Fighting Vipers 2 was still mostly similar to it's predecessor game but it builds upon the armor breaking system. The new armor gauge shows the state of each fighter's armor, and there are new effects on the character when the armor is broken. When a fighter has lost all of their armor, they will be susceptible to a "Super K.O" move from their opponent. All of the core fighters from the first game return alongside 2 new characters and 3 secret ones, bringing the roster up to 14 playable characters.
Plot[]
2 years has past since the hot battles at the tower... The City is still under the dictatorship of the mayor. With growing hatred against the Vipers who stood against him, he proposed a municipal bylaw for the "Viper Hunt", and enforced it. Many vipers were arrested and thrown into jail, the rest who escaped, hid themselves and removed their armors. There were few who would not give in to the mayor's oppression, and would continue to fight. Here begin the hot battles of the last Vipers...
