Fighting Vipers 2 runs on the Sega Model 3 Step 2 Arcade Board. The game should hit arcades in Japan this spring.
The Story!
"In the center of Armstone City is a ring surrounded by a
wall where those who enjoy the fun of the fighting game NUT-CRACK
(NC) are called the Vipers. The city major unexpectedly announced
that the city would sponser this competition however in reality
the city leaders were using the NC for gambling so that they
could make lots of money. When the Vipers got word that this was
happening they decided to put an end to this treachery and
confronted the city major, B.M! Two years later the city elders
have had a complete change of heart! They created laws banning
the NC and a hunt for the Vipers has been instigated. Because of
this most of the Vipers have been caught and placed in the prison
island just off shore from the city. The few remaining vipers
have had to give up the NC. However, there are those Vipers who
will never give in to such pressure. These last remaining Vipers
are the heroes of Fighting Vipers 2 and even though they risk
their lives to compete the fight is set to start again!"
The Game
Fighting Vipers 2 uses the Fighting Vipers' engine, but new
features have been added to the game. The arena is still enclosed
by walls, but this time the walls wil be used to pull off special
moves and combos instead of something to throw your opponent
into. A new feature added to the game is "Super KOs."
In the first Fighting Vipers, players could end the round by
throwing their opponent through the area walls. In Fighting
Vipers 2, the player basically blows up the arena! Another change
made to the fighting system is that a reversal system has been
added to the game.
