The Mayor decided to hold a fighting tournament with the grand finale being held on the top of the city tower, and the Vipers, young urban warriors decide to compete, each with their own goal on mind. All eight came from several backgrounds, like the hard-rocker Raxel, the orphan with a burning desire to meet his father Bahn, former gang leader Tokyo, queen of the catwalk Grace, the giant with an unknown past Sanman, construction worker and former marine trainee Jane, fashion designer to-be Candy and skater boy Picky, plus Mahler, someone with a score to settle with the Mayor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile based on the same Model-2 arcade board as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/game\/1124\/virtua-fighter-2\/\"\u003eVirtua Fighter 2\u003c\/a\u003e, Fighting Vipers included several changes, such as a wall surrounding the battle area and equipping each fighter with a two-piece (chest and legs) armour that can only be broken with power hits. Once the armour is gone, the unfortunate fighter is more vulnerable to opponent hits, and damage can also be collected after hitting the wall or floor after a throw. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGameplay is also radically different from Virtua Fighter - noticeably faster, with combos done by fast button-mashing sequences sometimes on the same button, instead of the timed presses that require an additional push on the d-pad of the first title. Another new addition to gameplay is the Quick recovery, which allows a fighter that suffered a severe blow to quickly get on his feet, avoiding damage and allowing for a quick counter, but at the same time leaving him open for another blow if the opponent is fast enough. to react.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGame modes include Arcade, Vs, Team Battle (best of 9) and Training. Game options allow the player to tweak the difficulty setting, number of rounds before a match winner is decided, size of life bars, if there's a time limit, if the order of opponents is random or predefined and between three game modes: Original (based on the arcade version), Arrange (gameplay tweaked for the Sega Saturn) and Hyper (allows Vipers to voluntarily drop their armour, allowing to perform special attacks at lightening fast speeds), Stage selection, and to change the disposition of the control pad to better suit the players' style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother mode, Playback, allows to see rounds previously saved by the player or fighting demos recorded by the AM#2 staff, each with the ability to choose a camera. As usual with Sega's fighting ports, extensive bookkeeping is included, as well as a few hidden characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*** Data by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMobyGames.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e ***\u003c\/h3\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstyle\u003e.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }\u003c\/style\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/40alnRW_UOE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, minimum-scale=0.1\"\u003e\u003ctitle\u003e19e4b8a8-c26c-11ed-ab6b-02420a000194.webp\u003c\/title\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block;-webkit-user-select: none;margin: auto;background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 90%);transition: background-color 300ms;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mobygames.com\/promos\/20672956-fighting-vipers-magazine-advertisement-gamepro-united-states-iss.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e☼\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e× Some Disclaimers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Video games are pre-owned unless otherwise specified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Disc-based video games come with their case and cover art unless otherwise specified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e         × PS1 Games May Not Have Their Front Cover Art\/Instruction Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Cartridge-based video games come with just the cartridge unless otherwise specified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × CD \u0026amp; DVD based discs are resurfaced before we put them out for sale\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Pre-Owned games may have stickers or marks on them or their cases, either price tags from us or other stickers\/markings from other stores or owners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Games A Plunder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45233693327521,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/4841\/1553\/files\/1959834-fighting-vipers-playstation-3-front-cover.jpg?v=1761152977","url":"https:\/\/gamesaplunder.com\/products\/fighting-vipers-ps3","provider":"Games A Plunder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
