Introduction

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.

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.

-'''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 the first Advanced V.G., released on PC-Engine in 1994 (and ported to various consoles later), which was itself a reboot to the original Variable Geo, released on PC-98 in 1993. Despite its rough start, the series has come a long way, and with AVG2, TGL delivered a solid, playable and fun fighting game. 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-scenes at all.

-Perhaps in spite of appearances, AVG2 doesn't play like a typical "anime" game, instead being more comparable to a mid-90s Capcom or SNK game. Mechanically, the game is closer to something like Real Bout Fatal Fury than Guilty Gear. If you like a fast and dynamic ground game, high damage combos and 90s anime girls, this game just might be for you.
