Really good sequel mechanically and visually.
Fighting is a lot snappier and character movesets are further fleshed out.
One thing about the combat I don't like is how obtuse some inputs for throws are (which is true for VF1 as well) especially when throws are pretty important tools. Some of those good throws can immobilize the opponent to be capitalized on. Thankfully the series moving forward would relegate all throws as P+G which is a lot simpler to wrap around.
BIGGEST issue is how unforgiving the AI is. Like Mortal Kombat 2 and Art of Fighting 2, the AI reads your inputs pretty early on and it gets worse going up (though, MK2 does it at the first fight so it's the undisputed king of cheap.)
And sadly, no home versions of the game (even the PSN/XBLA versions) have a training mode of any kind to actually learn the game properly.
To me, playing VF2 with friends and playing VF2 alone are vastly different experiences and even quality as weird as that might sound. By itself, I believe VF2 is a very good game (mainly for its time.)
Funny thing about the old PC version is that the AI in that game is the complete opposite. Probably wanted the difficulty to come from the Expert Mode which captures your play data over time which is cool.

Bem é uma relíquia interessante do tempo, mas hoje ele tá super datado, mas bom de ver como a evolução dessa franquia e dos games de Luta em 3D como um todo
A fighting game classic.
Fuck you Dural
pretty generic and kinda boring fighting game, just play street fighter instead
Yakuza Kiwami 2
This game kinda suck lmao
Love jacky tho
Love jacky tho
Not sure how I acquired this game or why I even decided to play it.
指がいたくなるほどやり続けた。十字キーのスライドではなくボタンの連続押しが技になるというのは当時は驚きでした。
still one of the best fighters period
The definition of rock solid. Really, the only issues I have with it lie in its rather small moveset variation between characters, but after a few playthroughs it actually kind of works with such a stiffly realistic game.
I played this in kiwami 2 :D
i love the aesthetic of model 2 games sooooo much. vf2 is still a solid game.
probably fun with real people! but the arcade cpus are fucking dreadful
Good fighting game for the time it was released. Characters still simplistic, but the combos are good and the ring outs still add some tension to the battle. Like the first entry the jump still to high and the boss is cheap as hell. Good game in general
Looks pretty damn cool but isn’t any different from the original.
Lo jugué en mi plataforma de Sega favorita: el Yakuza.
"I DON'T MAKE IT A HABIT TO FIGHT THE ELDERLY"
I honestly don't see what people see in this series. Okay something nice. The genesis version was a good tech piece.
Webos
Tried via Yakuza: Like A Dragon. Pretty neat, not my 3D fighter of choice tho.
simple controls but hard to master, one of the best arcade games in history
Like so many kids who spent way too much time and money in arcades, I always wanted my own cab and this was at the top of the list. The game that fgpilled me.
Just by chance I was at a local game store that had a cab for this Die Hard Arcade, and Hard Drivin'. You better believe I got that as a bulk purchase discount. I cannot believe this silly childhood dream came true.

Playing the Genesis version of this is like playing the Gameboy Advance version of Spiderman 2.
Lots of fun. I personally prefer Dead or Alive but I can see why some swear by Virtua Fighter 2.
I used to have this on the Saturn and thought it was fine (I sold it during hard times knowing how much money you get on eBay for any old shite game if it's older than my kids), I had good memories of blasting through it.
It's on sale on Xbox right now for the nice price of £1.69, so I thought I'd have a blast at it.
It was crap.
Slow character movement, ridiculously powerful CPU opponents and a really iffy ring out system. And jumping sends you into fucking orbit, with only the ability to use one kick or punch whilst up there. I understand why this was Street Fighter and Tekken competition back in the day, as 3D was the next big thing, but this does not compare to either.
I did not have fun playing this at all, even when winning, because you have to fucking spam it to get anywhere and that does not make an enjoyable fighting game.
I gave it an extra star for the aesthetic and music however. It's very much of its time, and most games of that time have a good vibe.
Thus ends my critique of a 28 year old videogame, and my worst buyer's remorse for the smallest amount of money.

Um bom jogo de luta pra época mas está longe de ser um "Street Fighter" por exemplo. Os combos, músicas e personagens do game são muito legais mas sei lá, falta aquela "fluidez" que te prende em jogos de luta. As vozes dos personagens são bem estranhas também. Achei o jogo muita datado e talvez tenha envelhecido meio mal.
Virtua fighter 2? More like Asshole Fighter 2
Super easy but honestly fun to play once in a while.
What does blud think they're pulling here?
