Attack mode is similar to Arcade mode, except it is played to see how fast the player can go through it and beat records. Characters The game features a total of 25 fighters, consisting of 8 newcomers and 17 returning veterans. Characters who were clones in the original game have been made into distinct playable characters, although they still share many moves with the originals. Devil Kazuya, originally a bonus palette swap of Kazuya reserved for the home console version of the first game, is also made as a full playable character and serves as this game's final boss. Out of the 25 playable fighters, only 10 are available by default, with the rest being made available through updates (the arcade version) or by clearing the Arcade Mode with different characters (the console version). Like the first game, the character select screen only displays the 10 default ones, with the others being selected by scrolling past the screen to the left or right. The screen normally defaults the character option to Jun Kazama, but the arcade version contains a code that can toggle it to Baek Doo San and vice versa. New characters Alex : A genetically-altered boxing dinosaur. Angel : A mysterious entity connected to Kazuya. Baek Doo San : A Tae Kwon Do practitioner who participates in the tournament to challenge Marshall Law. Bruce Irvin : A Muay Thai kickboxer who suffers from amnesia and is now serving as one of Kazuya's personal bodyguards.
