The first Fighting Vipers had the most kickass soundtrack of all Sega fighting games. Picky and Mahler stage were classic thrash metal songs, Jane and Raxel stages were 80s metal and Candys also had the upbeat rock sound. I used to always play on Picky's stage just for the music.

Aside Kuhn, you can also unlock Delsol (Random Mode only) and B.M (Super KO) as playable characters. There are other few touches that you haven't mentioned, one of them being the fact you can finish a fight with having the opponent's body hanging from the top of the cage walls (if they land there on a specific way after you throw, uppercut or kick them upwards as the last blow). There's also a neat touch that doesn't seem to be very well know: some characters (not quite sure if all) has an extra pallet swap other than the two that you can choose from. I haven't played in well over a decade, but if memory doesn't fail me, I believe you can get those based on a key combo (A+Y, A+X, A+X+R or A+X+R, maybe paired with "UP" or not or something along those lines? Again, it's been a while...) when you select the characters. Best way to do the trial and error (and you see the colours on their names change to reflect those colours) is to use the mode where you choose up to 5 fighters for a "Gauntlet" match. I'd have to get my console and give it a try to refresh my memory on this.

Games with a heavy reliance on juggling (especially air juggling) are never fun to play with a friend. One person always ends up sitting there watching their character take abuse until it's "their turn" to attack again. This is why Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat II hold up so well. Every moment of a round is a new confrontation and a new face-off. You're never just... observing. I remember in Tekken 2, if I'm not mistaken, there was a King combo that could kill you without ever having an opportunity to counter once it began. Anyway, solid vid on a generally unknown title here in the US. Good stuff.

All you need to do is get it to another continent (maybe in a different box, and make sure it is NTSC). How hard is that? Even if it doesn't make much money, you've spent extremely little effort on it, so it should still be worth it.

It might just be because I am watching this on a mobile phone, but I initially thought that at the beginning of the video you were showing Saturn footage, until I noticed the 3D backgrounds. I think the reviewers were right to criticise the graphics as they appear decidedly previous gen. That said, graphics do not a good game make. I think that the 5th and (initially) 6th gens were way to focused on graphics over gameplay. Then again, seeing the heated fights happening on Twitter regarding Series X vs PS5 (resolutions, ray tracing, bla bla bla) I guess that nothing has really changed.

See, IDC what people say about the sega model 3 arcade ports that were done on the sega dreamcast back in the day, they got a lot of crap for not being 💯% arcade perfect but if you truly and I mean truly look at them and appreciate the fact that sega was bringing “ at the time “ the most powerful arcade hardware on the market to the home system known as the sega dreamcast, it was amazing to even see these ports come home at all, I mean for example one of my all time favorite model 3 games fighting vipers 2 was actually so close on the DC it was a better praised port then virtua fighter 3 on the DC cuz fighting vipers 2 wasn’t as rushed at all when coming home to the DC I can fully remember playing the Japanese exclusive FV2 DC port for the first time and thought to myself “ wow this is segas most powerful arcade hardware running in my own room on this white dreamcast box” it was as close as possible without having to shell thousands of dollars back then to get a sega model 3 arcade machine in your home So me being a model 3 fan to the max I’ve always appreciate the model 3 ports that have come home to the sega dreamcast because there so darn close to being arcade perfect it still amazes me to this day to have them in my collection ❤️

What frustrates me about sega is that they are sitting on a treasure trove of classic games that have never had proper re-release (japan only PS2 ports don't count) Deep fear Last bronx Fighting vipers 2 Burning rangers Fighters megamix Panzer dragoon Virtua cop 1,2&3 I could go on and on, why oh why are these games not given a digital release on modern consoles? You made more consoles that just the megadrive y'know sega! And I'm not paying these stupidly high ebay prices

Kind of sad that FV1 on saturn was more rich in features compared to 2. Watch Mode and more in-depth training mode (for the time.) This honestly felt like a budget release. Game itself is still fire though at least

It's a good game for sure, bit was easily by past by many. I even played the original and Fighters Megamix way way more than this game. But the reality is that we'll most likely never see a new Fighter Vipers again, so if this is indeed the last game it's certainly not a bad one. Great video as always.

I would like to see this game come out on a Dreamcast Mini with a printed moves list. Sega needs to bring their best Japanese Dreamcast games that we didn't get in North America to the U.S. market via a Dreamcast Mini and while their at it a PAL exclusive such as Evil Twin. Sega can still get creative with what they have and how they sell it to loyal Sega gamers and new age gamers alike. Getting a cool poster or extra manuals with a printed moves list goes a long way with customer satisfaction.

I kinda disagree with the music. I think VF1 had a better sound track but this one is solid too. I might be baised tho cuz I use to play VF1 a ton when i was a kid lol.
