With so much misinformation floating around this game, BAT 2 Plus might be a contender for most obscure and certainly the least documented. I want to use this section of the board as a discussion place for Battle Arena Toshinden 2 Plus (BAT 2 Plus) in addition to the fgc speedrun discord https://discord.gg/6Ay9bmb The rules, character variables, and theme likeness have been copied over from the original game. Arcade Mode is relatively the same as the previous entry but AI have been improved. Full Game has a different number of versus count for some reason.

The main thing to remember about this version is that character damage has been greatly reduced, along with some properties changed all together.

Some moves now seem to be geared toward ringing out, and some have been altered in a way where they can't be used in a combo anymore. Some combos and axis fixes (get de-aligned is sadly still a huge issue) have been made but all these changes are so great it deserves its own post.

I added @BOSSCAT as a mod because they did a run first and requested of this me. At the time I didn't know if it was just a small upgrade or simply a minor change. So I sunk a large amount of time into Toshinden research, particularly this entry.

My hope is that a few more runners, when browsing Battle Arena Toshinden entries give this game a try. I might actually be leaning toward thinking this is the best entry out of all the games, though some of my favorite characters really feel like they got nerfed this time around. Good Luck and Have fun.
