Art of Fighting 2 (Arcade 1994) - Yuri Sakazaki [Playthrough/LongPlay]

[@lorenadavila5580]

I remember seeing this game at a Sack n Save in Waco, Texas back in the 90s. I used to play it while my parents were doing the shopping. The location where it used to be is now Hobby Lobby.

Art of fighting 2 shatters my expectations with Spectacular graphics and STUNNING gameplay

[@topherowlish]

Love all the details in this game, especially the battle damage shown on characters. We will never see anything like this in most modern fighters. Although Dead or Alive 6 had a little battle damage. The soundtrack to the Neo Geo CD version of this game is fantastic. I listen to it often.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

Face damage; panting pose in low health (standing pose changes); some chars get clothes ripped when beaten with specials; special ko animations (crumple in some cases, and something different for others). That should have become THE universal standard for fgs since AOF2. It was perfectly doable as 90s games had no big roster sequels, they were built with usually small additions over the yearly sequels. Like SSF2 added 4 new chars. SFA2 added 4 chars. And so on. That's not hard to manage. And of course, if that's hard to forgive in the 90s, let's not talking about modern fgs that are all in 3d. All recent 2d fgs like SF, KoF, SS, GG, etc, should have those details.

Ps2 has this game

Geese was super spamming that sliding kick for dear life...

[@chenjinguo]

Noticed 🤣🤣🤣.

[@GranMaese]

This game is a masterpiece. The face-damage is something they should bring back. Is a great detail.

That should have become THE universal standard for fgs since AOF2. It was perfectly doable as 90s games had no big roster sequels, they were built with usually small additions over the yearly sequels. Even KoF, the fg with the biggest roster in the 90s, was growing with over 5 new chars added per sequel. So that's not hard to manage - making those details for this amount of chars.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

So even in the 90s 2d fgs that is hard to forgive. Now let's not even talk about the modern era where it's all 3d graphics. Truly Capcom, SNK, Arcays, are all slacking too much to really push the genre forward technologically. It might just look hard to believe for someone with little fg culture, but it's just a fact. AOF1 and 2 are from 92 and 94... So there's NO excuse for late 90s and early 00s fgs, and much less for modern fgs. I think only MK has body damage, and SC has clothes damage. The whole fg genre is still not willing to go that path sadly. I guess It's just that 2d fgs became miraculously popular again thanks to SF4, and fans are too satisfied with the situation. It's an almost literal case of "beggars can't be choosers".

[@maninredhelm]

I'd love to see an alternate timeline in which Art of Fighting's gameplay was actually fun and enjoyable, so the game became a hit and the fighting genre's standard. Everything else it tried was so ambitious and interesting, but they blew it when it came to how the game actually feels to play. AoF2 was the last of the clunky SNK fighters, they started improving on that from this point onward.

[@edwardgaines6561]

And here I thought Street Fighter 3 had the best 2-D sprites! How much time did SNK spend on these sprites?

[@Hillthugsta]

@@edwardgaines6561 That Neo Geo hardware was like 10 years ahead of it's time.

[@VenusHeadTrap2]

Holy cow I havent seen this game since I was a little boy! The image of Yuri tied up was scary to me

[@ShaneDouglas713]

When Yuri decides not to be a Damsel in Distress anymore....

[@carlosaugusto9821]

What a character development for a fighting game sequel. And overall AOF has a notable sense of narrative since the first one, even though it's not an elaborate or deep story or such. But anyways it's remarkably better done than most fg story modes before AND after it. It's a shame that AOF wasnt well aknowledged since the beginning because of the controversy over it taking from SF. It has a lot of contributions to the genre, innovations, and other positive points (I admit though, outside the gameplay which is rough).

[@JuanGomez-ke5py]

Yeah it is weird she been in more king of fighter game then art of fighting games

[@VixXstazosJOB]

@@carlosaugusto9821 You can actually make a good LiveActionMartialArts movie with this plot.... ala 80's Vandame or Seagal films. I'm not kidding or fanboying. This is why SNK is so loved. Thier histories

[@MSTerMegane67]

This was great! I hope you get a chance to do a playthrough of King for this game someday as well. She and Yuri are my favourite AOF characters. :)

A 90s arcade classic!

[@JoseMartinez-jo2fk]

wonderful memories with art of fighting 2 where the beautiful yuri zakasaki and takuma debut... after being kidnapped in the first game the astonishment of this game is the animations when perfect yuri wins or is defeated with power her clothes are broken allowing to see part of her charms in gameplay and movements it is excellent compared to its predecessor a curiosity is that the boss of fatal fury geese howard also appears as the final boss and tells a little about his origins your work is great broo geek enjoying your gameplays

[@ShaneDouglas713]

36:18 Draw? Geese desperate as f🤬k right now...

[@gabrielnader1099]

I agree

[@captainjax_vs_games]

I love that little red riding hood thing In the beginning, so funny!

Excellent this game shouldn't be underrated it was fun easy the trick throw use special move to stun easy win good times another great upload from the better days keep it going man 👍 back when you could live even in the States

[@SunnyTacos]

This game is balls hard.

Welcome to FG's in the 90's, my pre 30 year old person

[@Bloodreign1]

I play this game on my PS2 via Art of Fighting Anthology, and have the first Super Famicom and Genesis versions of the original game. I still need the SFC version of this game to have what I want of the series.

[@leocampo2755]

I like so much your videos,i'm so bad for play fighter games🤦🏻‍♂️,i always lost in that gander of games

[@hectorh6844]

Eiji looks like Strider from Marvel vs Capcom

[@illustreightr2630]

I liked Eiji. He was a great character in KOF95.

[@tsuneomccormick115]

Surprised that Geese flat out hit on Yuri in a romantic way. Didn't think this would be something he would do as part of his character.

[@gabrielnader1099]

[@robothehobo]

0:14 Damn, is that Umibozu from City Hunter?

[@chenjinguo]

My most favourite Art of Fighting game 👏👏👏. Come here to witness ur fights and Yuri's dialouge with other fighters here 😁👍. By the way... Mr.Geese does not have a chance to finish his speech with Miss Yuri🤣.

[@maninredhelm]

I miss this Yuri. KoF Yuri isn't the same, especially since the awful KoF13 re-design. It's especially disappointing that she didn't make it into the beautifully animated AoF3, except as a story sidekick who gets bodied as soon as she tries to fight. That's more than King or Takuma got though. What the hell was the AoF team thinking taking out so many popular characters from a franchise with a shortage of popular characters? So much wasted potential.

[@Bubsy_Mods]

It's true. They made her kiddie looking, while she looks more mature here.

[@Bloodreign1]

I believe AoF 3 is a sidestory (or Gaiden), and it took place in Mexico instead of South Town, USA.

[@vic5015]

@@Bubsy_Mods they reset her age for kof.

[@illustreightr2630]

I love early Falcoon art.

[@topherowlish]

Falcoon? You insult Shinkiro! This was the Shinkiro era of original SNK! Not that awful era of Falcoon's crap.

[@carlosaugusto9821]

Shinkiro. His art started getting hyper realistic, becoming his specialty, only over 95-96.

[@SunStar-lc6sj]

I wonder why they changed King’s voice in the English version.

[@fandubsfeitos1474]

Nunca entendí por qué dejar el final del primer juego en el otro juego, es decir, si AOF no hubiera tenido aceptación jamás sabrían quien era el hombre de la máscara, aunque, con el mismo estilo (mejor dicho, cambio de color en los Sprites), solo quedarían dos opciones: o es el papá o el maestro de Ryo

[@shinhiryozenchikiza6540]

Yuri 🔥😋

I know this is only difficulty level 4 but disappointed that the computer so rarely blocks low.
