The game "Art of Fighting 2" is, as its predecessor, a spin-off of the game series Final Fight because the story is located in the same universe and some characters can be found in both versions. There are three parts of Art of Fighting, but the characters are also further developed in the King of Fighters series.

The original arcade/Neu Geo version had, compared to the SNES port, a few more animations because the graphics engine was a lot better, these differences will not be mentioned here. There were obviously many rules for this portation. In this case, allusions to blood and a woman dressed as a man were removed. The SNES port has actually never been released outside of Japan because of the meagre success of its predecessor.

In comparison to the first part of the series, there are not that many alterations. For example, Chinatown is mentioned and the cutscene animations were kept as well.

 

The screenshots are partially only from the Neo Geo version because the characters do not change in the SNES version and start bleeding as their life bar goes down.

 

Storyline Alterations
The compared screenshots are from the Arcade/Neo Geo vesion and the Japanese SNES version. The opponent "King" again is originally identified as a woman when her clothing tears open after being defeated. On the SNES, nothing hints at King being a woman.
