Next to the health is the Armor gauge displayed as a green body. Armor is split from the top half to the bottom half. With enough hits, the armor will break making the character weaker to attacks (blocking attacks gives you chip damage). When the armor gets weaker, the green body flashes. As it breaks, the body flashes red. However, having your armor broken gives you a small burst of speed and power.

Special attacks can break armor more easily. Inputs vary per character but once performed, your character flashes while being able to guard attacks at the same time.

Revision as of 16:19, 8 June 2021

The gameplay shares many similarities to its sister-series, Virtua Fighter, in terms of basic gameplay. As Virtua Fighter focuses more on realism, Fighting Vipers is more over-the-top in terms of character designs and the way combos are performed in comparison.

Just like Virtua Fighter, your main buttons are Guard , Punch and Kick. Although, despite being a 3d fighting game, there are no sidesteps. Grabs can be performed with + alone which pushes the opponent in another direction toward a wall.

Unlike Virtua Fighter at the time, Fighting Vipers includes walls via cages for every stage which can be used to throw opponents towards and create devastating combos with.

Next to the health is the Armor gauge displayed as a green body. Armor is split from the top half to the bottom half. With enough hits, the armor will break making the character weaker to attacks (blocking attacks gives you chip damage). When the armor gets weaker, the green body flashes. As it breaks, the body flashes red. However, having your armor broken gives you a small burst of speed and power. All characters are able to break all armor their armor with a shared quick special input. Warning: The armor stays broken for the rest of the match.

Special attacks can break armor more easily. Inputs vary per character but once performed, your character flashes while being able to guard attacks at the same time.

While floating in the air from an opponent's attack, pressing the Punch, Kick and Guard button simultaneously performs an air recovery.
