This is a play-through using ShenLong in the PS1 version of Bloody Roar 2: The New Breed. Read on below for more information...

ShenLong is a final hidden boss in the Arcade mode of the game. He is an unlockable playable character.

===== About ShenLong =====
He is clone of Long, produced by Hajime Busuzima on behalf of Tylon Corporation. In gaming terms, he is an alternative version of regular Long in the game.

Gameplay-wise, he is a very effective character with great combo ability and some hard-hitting moves. Being a clone of Long, he shares moves with him and plays similarly to him, with a few key differences in that ShenLong has more power-hitting strikes and Guard Crush type moves. He is slower in speed than regular Long however.

===== Additional Information =====

---- In Japan and Europe, the game is known as Bloody Roar 2: Bringer of the New Age.

===== About Bloody Roar 2 =====
The Bloody Roar series brings something unique to the world of fighting games, and that is of course the fact that the characters can all transform into animal/beast versions of themselves.

The general gameplay is solid, it plays in a quite unique manner all to itself. It is nothing like SF, Tekken, DOA or VF... instead it is a basic "conservative" 3D fighter with a balance of moves, juggle abilities, special moves and string combos. The whole thing is very well rounded-off.

In BR2, the gameplay is less conservative than the prequel, offering more combo possibilities and extreme super moves known as the Beast Drives. The general energy depletion output also seems to be higher as well, however the "recovery life" portions of the lifebar (the parts you can recover when you are a Beast) are higher too.
