Official News on RBFF2 More Additional Photos Obtained, Rumors solved Obtained by personal and external resources, here is a compilation of even more news and from the latest AOU show. Info on the Line Battle The line battle is appearently back to what it was in RBFF- one fighting plane in the middle and two dodging planes in the front and back. Except this time, the chracter in the dodging plane can guard unlike in RBFF. This would explain why the gamer was called RBFF2 instead of RBS2. Also, there are no "Out of Bounds" like in the previous RBFF. Info on the New Characters Li Shangfei- A Chinese fighter using Chinese Martial arts. Rick Strowd- A Native American Boxer.

The Follwing is previous news on RBFF2.

Only a few days after SNK's announcement of Real Bout Fatal Fury 2, a picture of the actual game has quickly been obtained. As can be seen, the game seems to have the same graphics as its previous sequel, Real Bout Special. Although having similar graphics to RBS does not necessarily mean that the game will use the same engine, this also links against rumors of the next Fatal Fury being ported to the NeoGeo 64 and well annihilates any rumors that it will appear as a 3D polygon game. It has been oficially announced that RBFF2 will be on the MVS, not the Neo64.

All the characters from its previous in the FF sequel -RBS, are in the game. Thus far, there have been two new characters confirmed- Xiangfei and Rick. Xiangfei seems to be a Chinese girl without any weapons (dresses and has a name similar to a particular character in Tekken3), and Rick seems to be short and not so young, has Grey/Silver hair but is muscular.
