Fighter Destiny 2

Overview

Fighter Destiny 2 (known in Japan as Kakutou Denshou: F-Cup Maniax, loosely translated to "Fighting Tradition: F-Cup Maniax") is a 3D fighting game developed by Genki (in conjunction with Opus) and published by SouthPeak (Imagineer in Japan) for the Nintendo 64 on August 27, 1999 (in Japan) and July 14, 2000 (in the U.S.).

Along with enhanced graphics and audio, this sequel to Fighters Destiny replaces most of its roster with a new cast of fighters while adding a new single-player game mode (inspired by board games).

Gameplay

Scoring System

The unique scoring system from Fighters Destiny returns, replacing the traditional round-based system (in which players gain one victory point for either depleting the opponent's life bar or having the most health when the timer depletes) with a unique scoring system in which players must score a total number of points (seven by default) by doing the following:

• JUDGE (1 pt.) - Dealing the most damage when the time counter reaches the limit (defaulted to thirty seconds).

• RING OUT (1 pt.) - Knocking the opponent off the arena.

• THROW DOWN (2 pts.) - Successfully knocking down the opponent (or knocking them off the arena) with a throw.

• KNOCK DOWN (3 pts.) - Successfully knocking down the opponent with a unique knockdown attack.

• COUNTER (3 pts.) - Successfully knocking down the opponent with a unique counter-attack (knockdown attacks that can be used to parry non-throw attack).

• SPECIAL (4 pts.) - Successfully knocking down the opponent with a unique Special Attack (knockdown attacks that can only be used while the opponent is dizzied).

When any of the above qualifiers are met, the game resets both fighters back to the middle of the stage and resets the timer back to zero.
