  Watch the trailer!The next playtest will feature her as a playable character - estimated for end of this month, stay tuned for more details!Evo PostmortemI don't write updates here often, so I didn't announce here before it happened - sorry! - but HF2 had a booth at Evo along with 13 other indie games!It was an exhausting yet fun three days. We ran a booth bracket that capped out at 32 entrants (with more on the waitlist) which was amazing. Thanks to everyone that joined! VOD upload of the top 4 matches soon.I'm glad to have gone and experienced so many people enjoy the game - I believe in it more than ever now.Release WindowSorry for the repeated delays! Please bear in mind that I'm mostly a solo developer and filling the game with enough content + ensuring a rock solid online experience takes a lot of time (sometimes things don't go as planned).I'm planning for a definitive release wi…

• First Playtest running 4/30-5/4! + info on Patreon and Combo Breaker - 27 April 2025

  I'm excited to announce the first public HYPERFIGHT 2 Playtest will begin on Wednesday, April 30 at 9pm PDT! Planning to run it for around 4 days. Signups will be live and open to anyone on the Steam page when the playtest starts! Online and Local VS will be available with playable characters Shoto Goto and Vince Volt. This test is mainly focused on gathering feedback for both the gameplay and netcode, so a good amount of features will be missing or incomplete. (Also why I won't be advertising it as heavily as future playtests.) Expect things to break! but hopefully you'll have fun! If you can't make this one, don't worry - I'm planning for more frequent playtests from now on to get the community involved. Consider this one a test run! Also, I've decided to start a Patreon for anyone interested in supporting development of the game. This project has grown to become rather large and expe…

• New gameplay trailer! [Vince Volt vs Shoto Goto] - 3 February 2025

  Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjwrkXrsgSo (it's also now on the Steam page but I wanna get those views up) The game's gotten a lot more polished in recent months so I wanted to make a video showcasing up-to-date gameplay footage. Can't promise a date for the online playtest, but rest assured I'm hard at work on it! - joh

• Quick overview on gameplay changes - 24 July 2024

  Here's a quick overview on gameplay changes from the original HYPERFIGHT! HYPERFIGHT 2 is no longer a true one-hit fighter. Only the first hit will grant points, but you can keep juggling your opponent as long as they don't touch the ground. This is to fulfill the new second win condition: ring outs! This also means there's no concept of rounds anymore - gameplay will flow smoothly between hits. (Mechanics are being tested to prevent corner camping, but they haven't been finalized yet.) Combos aren't really the focus though - they're more intended to make followup attacks more natural. Most of the time, gameplay will consist of 1-3 hit interactions. A few characters will have more combo potential for those that want to dig into it. Lastly, to fit the new system, supers are not a one-hit kill (sad, I know) but in replacement: - Invincible on startup - Deals massive knockback - Can be can…
