Fighting Vipers 2:
Fighting Vipers 2 was the sequel to Sega's sleeper arcade hit, Fighting Vipers. It was released within japanese arcades in 1998 with the Sega Model 3 hardware. It was later released on the Sega Dreamcast with a Japanese and European release in 2001.
A North American release for Fighting Vipers 2 was originally planned, but was later cancelled.
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.
