GameplayEdit

While the graphics now consist of 2D images in 3D backgrounds, the gameplay remains similiar to it´s predecessor. Hiryu can perform new actions in addition to the ones he had in the previous game. Hiryu can walk, jump, crouch, slide, double-jump and dash by pushing the joystick left or right twice. Hiryu can perfrom a thrust jump by pushing the joystick to the opposite direction of the wall, which can help reach places more faster. He can also perform a ``Savage Slash´´ by pressing the joystick down and up in mid-air. The character currently in play can power up by using a ``Boost´´´, which makes the character launch plasma waves directly at the enemies for a period of time until the boost gauge runs out. Throughout the game, the player can pick power-ups, such as a health replenishment and extension, a cypher extension and boost stocks.

TriviaEdit

• Some items that the player can obtain from the game, like the barrel, Holstein, Son Son, Mobi-chan, and the Yashichi, are references to other Capcom games.
• It was developed for the ZN-2 arcade board, and later ported to the Sony PlayStation as well as being planned for a release on the Sega Dreamcast - however the Dreamcast 'died' before that port could be released. It was also considered to be ported onto the Nintendo 64 but was also cancelled, much like the Dreamcast version.
