Virtua Fighter 2
Virtua Fighter 2 is a 1994 fighting game developed and published by Sega for arcades. It is the second game in the Virtua Fighter series and the sequel to Virtua Fighter (1993). Created by Sega's Yu Suzuki-headed AM2 team, it was designed on the purpose-made Sega Model 2 hardware, which provided a significant upgrade in graphical capabilities. Following its release in arcades, Virtua Fighter 2 was ported to the Sega Saturn in November 1995, while ports for other platforms appeared later.

Where Virtua Fighter 2 sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Virtua Fighter 2 lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 52ahead of 8% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 22ahead of 67% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about Virtua Fighter 2
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
