Gameplay Systems

Players fight against other characters in one-on-one matches and the fighter who manages to deplete the health bar of the opponent wins the bout and becomes the winner of the match. The game features three modes of play and a roster of 8 playable characters and their respective transformations, with two additional characters being unlockable via cheat code. Characters available are Goku (unlockable) , Vegeta , Gohan , Trunks , Piccolo , Cell , Cell Jr. , Broly (unlockable) , Bojack and Zangya . Super Butōden 2 uses a customizable six-button control scheme. Special moves are present in conventional format, with most commands consisting of button combinations. Characters can also dash back and forth by pressing L and R respectively. Players can also charge their Ki gauge by holding the Y and B buttons to unleash a Ki blast attack. Returning from the first game is the split-screen feature; the view is split to keep fighters that are far away in the playfield shown in a single screen, while their positions are kept via an improved on-screen radar. New to the sequel are the introduction of water-based arenas, the ability to counterattack special moves, as well as meteor combos to perform consecutive attacks for most characters (only Goku had one such move in the previous game).
