Rad Battle Grandprix 2

Rad Battle Grandprix 2 (ラッドバトルグランプリ2) is a fighting video game developed by Burst Arts Inc. and published by Namco. It is the sequel to Rad Battle Grandprix, taking place two years after its events. It was released in August 1994 in Arcades before being ported to the PlayStation as one of its launch titles.

Gameplay
The gameplay in this game is an improvement to the previous. Characters are no longer restricted by slowdown after a special move was once used. This allows for more fluid combos and attacks. After selecting a character, the player can choose between "standard" or "automatic" defense. By selecting to automatically defend from attacks, some features will not be available during gameplay.

Plot
Rad Battle Grandprix 2 starts two years after Roy wins the previous tournament against his rival Bryan. Roy disappears for one month after leaving to answer a challenge from an unknown fighter. One day, a young child comes into the Rad Battle Facility. The child, Yale, claims that "he" is a friend of Roy and wishes to look for him. Yale claims that "he" possesses the ability of healing and feeling the presence of humans, thus being entrusted with the mission to find Roy. However, this event only triggers the revelation of a larger secret as Yale is repeatedly attacked by a group of four fighters dubbed the Quadruple Squadron.
