A second minor update for the arcades, still called Tekken 2 Ver.B on the title screen but labeled Ver.C (or Ver.D) in the test menu and on a sticker on the arcade PCB, enables all hidden characters from the beginning rather than unlocking them through Time Release, and the hidden character cheat codes are disabled, having been made redundant. Tekken 2 Ver.B featured bug fixes, damage balancing, block stun recovery, an improved juggle system, several new moves and modified AI. An update was released a month later, with the arcade version proudly displaying a Ver.B logo on the title screen.
The initial arcade release, denoted as Ver.A in the test mode menu, was more similar to the first game and lacked polish, with some characters being significantly overpowered while others such as Kuma were lacking updated moves to set them apart from the previous game aside from a generic back throw.
Tekken 2 went through three distinct revisions. Some technical fixes were also made by Namco. Additionally, the heads of fighters could now move during battle. Characters still looked blocky but with a noticeable polygon improvement to give them a more polished look. Tekken 2 also had lighting effects impressive for its time, making some arenas look remarkable. The number of moves and combos has been doubled compared to its predecessor. Distinct additions included sidestepping and attack reversals for some characters, back throws, and chain-throws, while tackles were modified to inflict more damage when running from a greater distance. It continues to use 2D backgrounds in its stages albeit now more detailed and occasionally moving during battle. It still features an infinite playing field, and uses the same fighting system that utilizes four buttons: left punch, right punch, left kick, and right kick. The gameplay in Tekken 2 is much like its predecessor, but improves on almost every attribute.
