Delta Cross 2

Delta Cross 2 (デルタクロス2), stylized as ΔX2, is a 3D fighting game developed and published by Multisoft. The sequel to Delta Cross: Future Arena, it was released in 1999 for the arcades before being ported on the following year to the PlayStation 2 as one of the system's launch titles.

Gameplay
Similar to Dead or Alive 2, this game now features interactive stages with perishable terrain that leads to hidden areas. This game also introduces new mechanics such as Dash Attacks, which can be done to attack the opponent from afar that can be performed by tilting the joystick left or right and tapping the punch button.

Another new feature is "Gravity Mode," based on a hack from the previous game where characters can moon jump and knockback physics are lowered. This feature can be turned on or off in the Options menu.

The Delta Mode from the previous game has remade in this game. Now a white marker appears in the center of the Delta Gauge. During Delta Mode, when the bar in the Delta Gauge reaches that white marker, players can cancel their current Delta Mode and enter "Super Delta Mode," where the gauge is refilled for a limited time and the attacks are more aggressive than normal.

Each character now has three selectable fighting styles, as well as the costumes that come with them.

Story
After successfully defeating Andromeda near the end of the first tournament, Koji Nagare proceeds to find the CEO of Spade Million, Midnight Shade, in an attempt to finish him off. But once he arrived in his office, nobody was inside. All he found, however, was a capsule of blue liquid labeled "Laplace."

After taking the capsule, Koji felt a gun on the back of his head. The owner of this gun is a woman named Fuyuko Tachibana, who took Koji's place after his disappearance. She places him under arrest for insubordination and abandoning his crew. He was then tried and sent to FAZE Federation Prison for seven years.

Two years later, however, Fuyuko and the rest of FAZE received a message from a crazed man named Hakam, who claims to work for Spade Million. He reveals that the capsule Koji stole from the desk was actually a prototype for Spade Million's next project: Laplace. After that announcement, one of the guards announced that Koji has escaped, said to have taken the vaccine that enabled him to escape from his prison. Fuyuko goes to find him, only to find him in a different form before he defeats her and escapes. Hakam states that the Laplace vaccine still needs some fine tuning before he starts fighting bystanders, so the scientists of Spade Million plan to hold him captive until the project is complete.

Two years after the incident, Spade Million announced the second Delta Cross tournament. Fuyuko, under the orders of the FAZE Federation, joins the tournament to find and save Koji.
