And Then There Were 10...
One year has passed since eight of the world’s toughest, fastest fighters challenged each other
in the World Fighting Tournament. Lau Chan may have won the championship, but all of the fighters gained something. Each fighter’s limits and shortcomings became crystal clear. Some made new friendships; others developed intense rivalries. All gained valuable fighting experience before they left the arena and went their separate ways.
Now, one year later, the call has come again: ten cordial invitations to the second World Fighting Tournament. Ominously, no RSVP’s are
requested-as if anyone would be foolish enough to back out. Could the sinister Judgement 6 cartel
be behind all this? Whatever new and formidable moves and techniques these accomplished fighters may possess, they all share one thing: the suspicion that this time, the stakes will be higher than ever.
After a year of hard training, Akira Yuki is back to try out his new moves and to fight the decisive battle against new-found rival Wolf Hawkfield. Hong Kong film star Pai Chan returns for another chance to defeat her father, Lau Chan, who has returned to defend his title. Pancratium master Jeffry McWild fights to preserve his livelihood. The ninja Kage-maru returns on both official and family business, as he seeks to break the cover and discover the secrets of the mysterious syndicate that pulls the strings of the World Fighting Tournament. Jacky Bryant has come to rescue his sister, Sarah, whoironicallyhas been brainwashed and carefully trained to eliminate him. Master of Drunken-style kung fu Shun-di arrives to try his skills against the hottest young fighters in the world, while Tourou-ken, expert Lion Rafale, fights for his freedom.
Who will emerge victorious this time?

Here you can elect to perform a “Full” install (most of the program is stored to your hard drive for better performance) or perform a “Minimum” install (part of the program runs from your hard drive and the rest runs on the CD). If you do not wish to install Virtua Fighter 2 at this time, select CANCEL.
Under Windows 95, the Virtua Fighter 2 installation procedure analyzes your specific system configuration and loads the appropriate drivers for your sound card and video display card.
