Dead or Alive 2 Arcade Machine is a 1-on-1 fighting video game in which players can go head to head in heated combat, powered by the naomi board with greatly improved graphics, and includes 2 new characters.
The fighting system used in DOA2 remains the same as its predecessor, with a circular rock/paper/scissor like relationship between three types of moves: holds, throws, and blows - A blow beats a throw, a throw beats a hold, and a hold beats a blow. The game is powered by the Naomi motherboard with a huge improvement in graphics.
The game has many multi-tiered levels, with players able to knock their opponent off the ledge of some stages. This deals damage to the opponent, with the other player jumping down to the same level but not receiving any damage. There are also a number of stages with walls which will deal damage if you knock your opponent into one, and hazard walls such as electrified fences which will inflict even more damage.
Characters appearing in DOA2 are Ayane, Ryu, Kasumi, Helena, Jann Lee, Ein (Hayate), Leon, Bass, Tina, Bayman, Gen Fu, Lei Fang, Zack and boss character Tengu.
