A NEW CHAPTER

A new generation
takes the streets.

Fifteen new adult fighters take the lead. The original cast returns as separately selected jump-in assists, with refreshed looks that keep their identities intact.

Initial development checkpoint · A work in progress

Fighting in the Streets 2.5 is a separate game built from the original game's combat system. Its new cast shares gameplay roles and home districts with the original fighters, while introducing new names, faces, silhouettes, outfits and motivations.

The returning 15 human characters have the same canonical ages and identities. Their new appearances express confidence and a change of wardrobe. They are assist-only in this edition. Five refreshed Demon Lord forms occupy the opponent slots.

Checking concept illustrations…

The gallery checks the actual image files available with this build. A finished concept image is a character-design milestone; it does not mean that a full move sheet, animation set or balance pass is complete.

STILL IN THE WORKSHOP

The work ahead.

  • Dedicated 2.5 move sheets and animation need further work.
  • Combat balance, assist timing and the Demon Tour need continued testing.
  • Inherited stage artwork remains part of this early build.
