Virtua Fighter 2 (バーチャファイター２) is a fighting game developed by Sega AM2 and published by Sega as is the direct sequel to Virtua Fighter. It is, as the name suggests, the second game in the Virtua Fighter series, and was originally released for Sega Model 2A CRX arcade hardware in 1994.

Virtua Fighter 2 was known for its breakthrough graphics and animation, rendering 3D characters and backgrounds with filtered texture mapping and introducing motion capture animation technology to the game industry.

It was followed by a sequel, Virtua Fighter 3, in 1996.

Gameplay

Virtua Fighter 2 follows the same rules as its predecessor, being a 3D versus fighting game with three buttons, ring-outs and an emphasis on real fighting techniques and complex movesets. The game is faster than its predecessor, both in a faster-paced style of play, and the fact it runs at twice the frame rate of its predecessor (60FPS vs. 30FPS, leading to more responsive controls).

Momentum-based damage (i.e. charging at an opponent deals more damage than attacking while standing still) was introduced with this iteration, and Virtua Fighter 2 also pushes the move count from roughly 700 in its predecessor, to around 2,000 (noting of course the addition of Shun and Lion). The game includes the ability for some characters to sidestep attacks, and thus make better use of the 3D surroundings. Gravity is still low in in Virtua Fighter 2, allowing characters to jump much higher than the average human being, but is toned down from its predecessor.

From a technical standpoint, Virtua Fighter 2 uses fewer polygons than the original Virtua Fighter, with detail instead being represented by textures^[35]. Backgrounds are more detailed, with elements represented with polygons rather than just the flat 2D backdrops of its predecessor. Shun's stage in particular is notable for taking place on a moving raft, with the fighters passing under bridges as they fight. Some stages also have added effects - in Sarah's, a strong breeze causes the hair of some characters to float realistically.

If a character fought against themselves in the original Virtua Fighter, the second player would be given a different costume so the two fighters could be distinguishable. In Virtua Fighter 2, characters' clothes are more detailed than its predecessor (although that does not affect the gameplay). If siblings Sarah and Jacky fight, a special arena is loaded.

Like its predecessor, the normal arcade mode sees the player fight all other opponents in a set order; Lau, Sarah, Shun, Pai, Lion, Jeffry, Kage, Jacky, Wolf and Akira, culminating in a match against Dural. Dural's stage takes place underwater this time, meaning movement is slower and gravity is lower. If the Bryant siblings Sarah and Jacky fight each other, a special "Chicago" stage is loaded.

History

Development

Main article: Virtua Fighter 2/Development.

Release

Virtua Fighter 2, much like its predecessor, was very successful for Sega (particularly in Japan), demonstrating cutting-edge graphics which made good use of Sega's Model 2 arcade platform. This hardware was able to run the game at 60 frames per second at a high resolution without slowdown, and was able to compete against the likes of Namco's Tekken and other Virtua Fighter arcade derivatives which were beginning to emerge by this point.

Upon release, the Virtua Fighter 2 video game arcade cabinet cost £6000 for arcade operators^[36]. For players, the arcade game cost £1 per play^[37].

The Saturn version of Virtua Fighter 2 sold 1.7 million copies in Japan.^[38] In addition, it sold at least more than 500,000 copies in the United States,^[39] (200,000 selling in December 1995 alone^[40]) adding up to at least more than 2.2 million units sold in Japan and the United States.

Legacy

Virtua Fighter 2 was re-released as Virtua Fighter 2+1 (2.1) in Japan. This version features re-tweaked gameplay, slightly enhanced graphics and the ability to play as a newly-designed Dural. This version was also released as Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol. 16: Virtua Fighter 2 (with other tweaks) for the PlayStation 2. It is also possible to switch to the 2+1 gameplay mechanics in the Saturn and PC versions, but none of the other features are updated.

Virtua Fighter 2 is the point of reference for Virtua Fighter Kids, Virtua Fighter Animation and Fighters Megamix. It was followed by Virtua Fighter 3 in 1996. The game has also been released on Xbox Live Arcade. As of December 6, 2024, the Xbox Live Arcade version has been delisted from the Xbox Store.^[41]^[42]

Sega Logistics Service announced it would end service on Virtua Fighter 2 arcade machines on March 31, 2017.^[43]^[44]

Versions

Virtua Fighter 2 was brought to the Sega Saturn in 1996 with extra modes and a CD soundtrack, at the expense of graphical fidelity and polygon counts. The Saturn version is widely considered to be one of the better looking games for the system, despite having to sacrifice the 3D backgrounds of its arcade counterpart. This version was the basis for a Windows PC port in 1997.

The Saturn port allows for the arena size to be adjusted down or all the way up to 82 metres, being the only game in the series, other than Virtua Fighter Remix, that has such options. The energy meter is also adjustable (to the point where it has no meaning), leading to what some have called "sumo match" modes, where players can only win by knocking their opponent out of the ring.

Virtua Fighter 2 was considered a technical feat for its time, running at a full 704x480 resolution (704x512 in PAL regions; both more than the Model 2 version) while aiming for 60FPS. To compensate, the Saturn version features no lighting - all polygon faces are rendered with the same brightness level, although the texture work goes some way to mask the limitations (as does the fact most of the game takes place outside in the daylight). The game also still casts shadows on the floor, albeit simpler ones than its Model 2 counterpart.

The most notable omission in the Saturn (and PC) versions are the 3D backgrounds, which are now rendered in 2D similar to the original Virtua Fighter. This would be a long-standing issue in most fighting games for the Saturn and PlayStation, where polygons are hard to come by and are better utilised improving the character models instead. Later titles such as Fighting Vipers and Last Bronx would start to find ways of overcoming the problem, and many of the stages would be made more accurate in Fighters Megamix.

The decision to simplify the backgrounds leads to some notable omissions in the Saturn port. In the arcade, Shun Di's stage takes place on a large raft moving down a river, occasionally floating underneath stone bridges, while on the Saturn the arena is static and takes place on the shoreline of the river. Wolf's stage also misses the cage surrounding the arena (something re-introduced in Megamix (and to a lesser degree in Virtua Fighter Kids). The reflective floors of Dural's stage are also missing in the Saturn port.

 ''Virtua Fighter 2'' was known for its breakthrough graphics and animation, rendering 3D characters and backgrounds with filtered texture mapping and introducing motion capture animation technology to the game industry.

 ==Gameplay==
-''Virtua Fighter 2'' follows largely the same rules as its predecessor - it is a 3D versus fighting game with three buttons, ring-outs and potentially complex movesets. ''Virtua Fighter 2'' builds on this however by featuring faster-paced gameplay and momentum-based damage (i.e. charging at an enemy deals more damage than attacking while standing still).
+''Virtua Fighter 2'' follows the same rules as its predecessor, being a 3D versus fighting game with three buttons, ring-outs and an emphasis on real fighting techniques and complex movesets. The game is faster than its predecessor, both in a faster-paced style of play, and the fact it runs at twice the frame rate of its predecessor (60FPS vs. 30FPS, leading to more responsive controls).
+Momentum-based damage (i.e. charging at an opponent deals more damage than attacking while standing still) was introduced with this iteration, and ''Virtua Fighter 2'' also pushes the move count from roughly 700 in its predecessor, to around 2,000 (noting of course the addition of Shun and Lion). The game includes the ability for some characters to sidestep attacks, and thus make better use of the 3D surroundings. Gravity is still low in in ''Virtua Fighter 2'', allowing characters to jump much higher than the average human being, but is toned down from its predecessor.
-''Virtua Fighter 2'' pushes up the move count from roughly 700 in its predecessor, to around 2,000 (noting of course the addition of Shun and Lion). This includes the ability for some characters to sidestep attacks.
+From a technical standpoint, ''Virtua Fighter 2'' uses fewer polygons than the original ''Virtua Fighter'', with detail instead being represented by textures{{magref|egm2|8|96}}. Backgrounds are more detailed, with elements represented with polygons rather than just the flat 2D backdrops of its predecessor. Shun's stage in particular is notable for taking place on a moving raft, with the fighters passing under bridges as they fight. Some stages also have added effects - in Sarah's, a strong breeze causes the hair of some characters to float realistically.
-Unlike its predecessor, gravity in ''Virtua Fighter 2'' is more nuanced, meaning characters can no longer jump the height of an average human being across most of the playfield.
+If a character fought against themselves in the original ''Virtua Fighter'', the second player would be given a different costume so the two fighters could be distinguishable. In ''Virtua Fighter 2'', characters' clothes are more detailed than its predecessor (although that does not affect the gameplay). If siblings Sarah and Jacky fight, a special arena is loaded.
-''Virtua Fighter 2'' uses fewer polygons than the original ''Virtua Fighter'', with detail instead being represented by textures{{fileref|EGM2 US 08.pdf|page=96}}.
+Like its predecessor, the normal arcade mode sees the player fight all other opponents in a set order; Lau, Sarah, Shun, Pai, Lion, Jeffry, Kage, Jacky, Wolf and Akira, culminating in a match against Dural. Dural's stage takes place underwater this time, meaning movement is slower and gravity is lower. If the Bryant siblings Sarah and Jacky fight each other, a special "Chicago" stage is loaded.

In order to produce the game's [[wikipedia:Texture filtering|filtered]], [[wikipedia:Texture mapping|texture-mapped]] characters and backgrounds, Yu Suzuki turned to [[Lockheed Martin]], formerly General Electric Aerial & Space, which charged $2 million to use the texture mapping chip of their flight simulation equipment that cost $32 million overall. Despite some reluctance on [[Sega]]'s part, Suzuki managed to convince them to buy the chip for $2 million, and he then worked with his AM2 team to convert it for video game use.
+{{mainArticle|{{PAGENAME}}/Development}}
-Using the Lockheed Martin technology, his AM2 team eventually managed to create a graphics chip that could be mass-produced for $50 each. As a result, he was able to use texture mapping for the ''Virtua Fighter 2'' characters{{ref|1=http://web.archive.org/web/20131113174154/www.1up.com/features/disappearance-suzuki-part-1?pager.offset=2}}. In order to produce better animations for the characters, the team also utilized  motion capture animation technology{{ref|http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/228512/Yu_Suzuki_recalls_using_military_tech_to_make_Virtua_Fighter_2.php}}, which had previously been limited to the healthcare industry and never used before by the video game industry{{ref|http://virtuafighter.com/threads/vf20th-anniversary-site-the-interviews.19637/}}.
-Four new characters were originally designed for ''Virtua Fighter 2'', however only Shun and Lion were included in the final game as the other two were deemed too similar to earlier characters{{fileref|EGM2 US 08.pdf|page=96}}. No traces of these two scrapped characters exist in the game, having never made it past the concept stage{{fileref|EGM2 US 08.pdf|page=96}}. The smaller lineup of characters was also to encourage "emotional attachments" to the fighters, which was felt might have been lost if too many were selectable{{fileref|EGM2 US 08.pdf|page=96}}.
-Yu Suzuki travelled to China to learn some of the martial arts techniques in the game first hand{{fileref|EGM2 US 08.pdf|page=96}}.
 ===Release===
-''Virtua Fighter 2'', much like its predecessor, was very successful for Sega (particualrly in Japan), demonstrating cutting-edge graphics which made good use of Sega's Model 2 arcade platform. This hardware was able to run the game at 60 frames per second at a high resolution without slowdown, and was able to compete against the likes of [[Namco]]'s ''Tekken'' and other ''Virtua Fighter'' arcade derivatives which were beginning to emerge by this point.

 ===Legacy===
-''Virtua Fighter 2'' was re-released as ''Virta Fighter 2+1'' (2.1) in Japan. This version features re-tweaked gameplay, slightly enhanced graphics and the ability to play as a newly-designed Dural. This version was also released as ''[[Sega Ages 2500 Series Vol. 16: Virtua Fighter 2]]'' (with other tweaks) for the [[PlayStation 2]]. It is also possible to switch to the 2+1 gameplay mechanics in the Saturn and PC versions, but none of the other features are updated.

-''Virtua Fighter 2'' is the point of reference for ''[[Virtua Fighter Kids]]'', ''[[Virtua Fighter Animation]]'' and ''[[Fighters Megamix]]''. It was followed by ''[[Virtua Fighter 3]]'' in 1996. The game has also been released on [[Xbox Live Arcade]].
-===Versions===
-''Virtua Fighter 2'' was brought to the [[Sega Saturn]] in 1996 with extra modes and a CD soundtrack, at the expense of graphical fidelity and polygon counts. The Saturn version is widely considered to be one of the better looking games for the system, despite having to sacrifice the 3D backgrounds of its arcade counterpart. This version was the basis for a [[:wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Microsoft Windows]] port in 1997.
-Development on the Saturn version began shortly after the release of the Saturn port of ''Virtua Fighter'' in December 1994, however development on the title did not take precedence at AM2 until after the release of the Saturn ''[[Daytona USA]]'' and the [[Sega Graphics Library]] (SGL){{fileref|SSM UK 02.pdf|page=46}}, the latter developed by AM2 to greatly assist third-party Saturn development which at this point had been struggling with the hardware. ''Virtua Fighter 2'' was the showpiece for SGL, with a texture-mapped Pai being demonstrated on the 24th March, 1995{{fileref|SSM UK 02.pdf|page=46}}.
-AM2 compiled a rolling demo for the [['95 Tokyo Toy Show]] in June, where animations of Lion, Shun, Pai and Lau were demonstrated running at 60FPS. A "20% complete" version appeared at [[ECTS Autumn 1995]] and [[IFA 1995]] over the summer, now with more characters, but noticably missing elements, such as Sarah's ponytail{{fileref|SSM UK 01.pdf|page=40}}.

As of December 6, 2024, the Xbox Live Arcade version has been delisted from the Xbox Store.{{ref|https://web.archive.org/web/20241109153954/https://www.sega.jp/topics/detail/241107_1/}}{{ref|https://ghostarchive.org/archive/3mhhl|https://support.sega.com/hc/en-us/articles/29776767664145-SEGA-Classics-FAQ}}
-By the autumn screenshots of a new build was being circulated in the press, now with a heads-up display and more developed characters, but still lacking many features. Throws were implemented in the game, but punches and kicks would not do damage{{fileref|SSM UK 01.pdf|page=41}}. Shun was rendered abnormally large (while also missing his bottle), and none of the characters were yet to receive shadows{{fileref|SSM UK 01.pdf|page=40}}. A further (playable) build was demonstrated at [[Amusement Machine Show 1995]].
+[[Sega Logistics Service]] announced it would end service on ''Virtua Fighter 2'' arcade machines on March 31, 2017.{{fileref|SegaProductsTerminationAnnouncement 2016-11 JP.pdf}}{{fileref|SegaProductsTerminationAnnouncement 2016-12.pdf}}
-.5 million Saturn copies were pre-ordered in Japan{{fileref|SSM UK 02.pdf|page=46}}. At launch, it was reported that Saturn console sales were beating the PlayStation at a rate of 6:1 as a result of the game's popularity{{fileref|MAXIMUM UK 04.pdf|page=114}}.

The Saturn version is widely considered to be one of the better looking games for the system, despite having to sacrifice the 3D backgrounds of its arcade counterpart. This version was the basis for a [[Windows PC]] port in 1997.
 The Saturn port allows for the arena size to be adjusted down or all the way up to 82 metres, being the only game in the series, other than ''Virtua Fighter Remix'', that has such options. The energy meter is also adjustable (to the point where it has no meaning), leading to what some have called "sumo match" modes, where players can only win by knocking their opponent out of the ring.
@@ Line 226: / Line 368: @@
 The decision to simplify the backgrounds leads to some notable omissions in the Saturn port. In the arcade, Shun Di's stage takes place on a large raft moving down a river, occasionally floating underneath stone bridges, while on the Saturn the arena is static and takes place on the shoreline of the river. Wolf's stage also misses the cage surrounding the arena (something re-introduced in ''Megamix'' (and to a lesser degree in ''[[Virtua Fighter Kids]]''). The reflective floors of Dural's stage are also missing in the Saturn port.
