| | '''Advanced V.G. 2''' (short for "Variable Geo") is an all-women's fighting game developed by TGL and released on the PSX in 1998. It is the sequel to Advanced V.G., released on PC-Engine in 1994 (later ported to PSX an Sega Saturn), which was itself a reboot of 1993's Variable Geo for the PC-98. |

| == Introduction ==
| | Despite the anime aesthetic (attributed to legendary character designer Takahiro Kimura), AVG2 is a very traditional 2D fighting game experience, sharing a closer resemblance to SNK's output of the time than anything else -- think less Guilty Gear, and more Real Bout Fatal Fury. With a heavy emphasis on fast paced, dynamic footsies, plenty of creative aerial play, tons of high-powered meter options, and plenty of good old-fashioned jank, AVG2 is a game that's easy to pick up and still enjoys plenty of competition to this day. |
| Poverty waifu fighter on PS1 made by TGL in 1998. It is the sequel to the first Advanced V.G., released on PC-Engine in 1994 (and ported in various consoles later), which itself was a reboot to the original Variable Geo, released on PC-98 in 1993. The series has gone a long way since its rough start and TGL has finally delivered a solid, playable and fun fighting game in the form of Advanced V.G. 2. It is worth noting that for a series known for its pervy origins, this game is very light on fanservice and so has no H-scene at all.

| As its time release might hint, it doesn't play like a typical "anime" game but more like a mid-90s Capcom/SNK game. Its mechanics are more reminiscent of Street Fighter Alpha and Real Bout Fatal Fury (without the fakeouts and the plane system) than say Guilty Gear.<br>

| === How to Unlock Material and Miranda === | |
| The boss characters are usually allowed in competitive play, so having them available can be pretty beneficial.
| |
| | |
| If you plan to play on an emulator, save yourself the hassle of going through the tedious process of unlocking characters. Just download the savefile on GameFAQS [http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps/574633-advanced-vg-2/saves here] and load it as a regular Memory Card.
| |
| | |
| If you plan to play on a console and have to unlock them the regular way, here's how it goes: beat Story Mode first (you get Material), then Normal Mode (you get Miranda.) Doing it in the reverse order won't work.

| | |
| == Game Mechanics ==
| |
| Blockstun is very short in this game. Backdashes only have throw invincibility usually, but some have lower-body invincibility as well. There are a couple of 1-frame supers that have quite some range. Level 1 supers can be canceled into another level 1 super or a level 2 super. OTGs and throws scale damage by 50%.
| |
| | |
| Quick rises have throw invincibility just like backdashes. Meanwhile, they can be punished by 1-frame supers for the entirety of their length and some characters' quick rise recovery can also be punished by other supers as well.
| |
| | |
| === List of Instant/Proximity Unblockable Supers ===
| |
| They are pretty versatile, because they can be used on defense as as reversals, on offense to catch quick rises and on neutral for whiff punish as a ghetto Valle CC. It is a major part of the game, so learning when to use them and how to defend against them is very crucial.

| == How to Play Online ==
| |
| Getting matches online is pretty easy. It's on Kaillera and you can just ask on the AVG2 thread on the SRK forum. But setting ePSXe to have a functional netplay is another story though. Follow these steps very closely and you'll be able to play online: http://forums.shoryuken.com/discussion/comment/10089606/#Comment_10089606

| | |
| == Game Versions ==
| |
| There are two versions of the game: the original 1998 release (SLPS-01318) and the 2003 SuperLite 1500 series re-release (SLPM-87226). As far as difference goes, besides the SuperLite logo screen in the re-release, they're pretty much identical.
