7
8	The game refines the mechanics introduced in the previous installment, this time offering a full four-button moveset consisting of two punches and two kicks. The lane system has been redesigned so that players can now knock each other into different lanes, as well as new stage hazards like electric fences or bull stampedes. Another big addition is giving every fighter a unique "[[LimitBreak Desperation Move]]", a powerful move that's accessible only at low health.

20	----
21	!!This game has examples of the following tropes:
22	* AntiVillain: Wolfgang Krauser may be out to fight you but he's otherwise not implied to be evil, and if he wins he's actually pretty nice about it, making him unique among fighting game final bosses.
23	* AscendedExtra: The manga adaptation gives the girl from Terry's arcade ending the name of Medea Khmer and depicts her as his love interest.
24	* AvengingTheVillain: Billy Kane seeks {{revenge}} against the Bogard brothers and Joe Higashi for the death of his boss Geese Howard.
25	* BigBad: Wolfgang Krauser, the Earl of Stroheim, and organizer of the King of Fighters tournament. He seeks to battle with [[TheHero Terry Bogard]] in particular, [[spoiler:as the latter defeated Krauser's half brother, ''[[Characters/FatalFuryGeeseHoward Geese Howard]]'']].
26	* ClockworksArea: Billy's stage is a ClockTower, where a power-hit can fling an opponent over into the gears for some extra damage.
27	* TheDragon: Laurence Blood serves this role for Krauser via being his right-hand man.
28	* HeelFaceTurn: This game serves as the debut of Raiden's face persona, "Big Bear".
29	* SceneryPorn: There's no denying that the backgrounds in this game are ''gorgeous''. Some standout examples include Terry's, Mai's, Cheng's, Tung Fu's, and Krauser's stages.
30	* ShipLevel: Andy's stage is on a large gondola in Italy, and Mai has one on a raft.
31	* ShockAndAwe: The electrified ropes in Axel's stage.
32	* TokenFemale: Mai Shiranui is the sole female fighter of the game, as well as the first in the series.
33	* TraintopBattle: Terry's stage is on a flatbed train car.
34	* WorldTour: Riding on the coattails of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'', ''Fatal Fury 2'' has a worldwide tournament for a backdrop, rather than having all the action confined to Southtown like the rest of the series (not counting the ''Special'' games, which are {{Dream Match Game}}s). The fighters travel all the way through the U.S.A., Italy, Japan, China, Germany, etc.
35	* WorthyOpponent: Krauser seeks battle with Terry specifically because the latter [[spoiler:defeated Kruser's brother, Geese Howard]].
