Released in 1994 by SNK, ART OF FIGHTING 2 sees 12 characters compete
for the title in the toughest fighting contest of them all: King of
Fighters. Each character has a range of deadly techniques in his/her
arsenal, and players must use these lethal techniques to fight their
opponents. As in the original ART OF FIGHTING, however, using a deadly
technique lowers a character’s mental-energy gauge. For this reason,
players must use these techniques carefully. Meanwhile, players can
taunt an opponent to exhaust his/her mental energy, and even suppress
the opponent’s techniques if successful. This type of mental-energy
offense and defense gives ART OF FIGHTING 2 a uniquely enjoyable spin on
the fighting-game genre. Further adding to the strategy required to win,
an attack will become stronger or weaker depending on exactly when the
button is pressed. And even if a player is thrown, defensive action is
possible with the timely press of a button. All of this adds up to an
intense and nail-biting fighting-game experience not found anywhere else!
