what does version 2.1 do in virtua fighter 2?

[bultje112]

it is selectable in the options but not on in default making me wonder if it makes it worse? I know 2.1 in the arcades was a definite improvement in many ways including graphics. what does it do for saturn?

You could have looked this up in the manual, but I'll give you a comprehensive answer to this one.

There were two versions of VF2 released in the arcade. However, the v2.1 added and changed a few things.

• Expert Mode Added
• Jacky's Cresent and Sweep attack levels corrected [for height/blocking]
  
• Akira's long-range dashing elbow corrected to dashing elbow with foot position change 
  
• Shun's long-range sweep is corrected to sweep without foot position change
  
• Wolf's punches and elbow attacks added  
• Certain moves no longer knock an opponent down. It is also more difficult to back away from an opponent.

unfortunately nothing is said there about the console version. thanks though and also linkt. makes me wonder why virtua fighter 2 is in 2.0 in default mode though. I'll stick with 2.1 then
