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. Meanwhile, players can taunt an opponent to exhaust his/her mental energy, and even suppress his/her techniques. Furthermore, 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!
