Fighting Vipers is a 3D Fighting Game series created by Sega's AM2 development team (of Virtua Fighter fame) in 1995. A sequel was released in 2001, and in the interim between the two games the casts of both FV and VF appeared in the Sega Saturn-only Fighters Megamix. Gameplay is similar to its sister series, albeit faster, more forgiving in the control department, and has the addition of armor-breaking moves that soften up opponents and create weak points. Unlike the Virtua Fighter series, the arenas are walled, but the walls can be busted down if opponents are slammed against them enough times using the armor-break moves.The story of the games involves armor-clad fighters run rampant in the metropolis, Armstone City. The dictator/mayor of Armstone City, Big Mahler, hosts a tournament for these fighters ending at the City Tower. The game's main character is Bahn, but Honey (Candy in the states) is the Ensemble Dark Horse and the only really well-known character.Although it is an obscure game, it is a Cult Classic and Bahn appears in Project × Zone, finally giving the game some spotlight once more.As of 2012, now you too can experience this gem on your PlayStation 3 and/or Xbox 360 with Sega's Model2 Collection series of arcade games on Play Station Network and Xbox Live Arcade for only $5. And finally, Honey gets un-dummied in this game's cartoony and goofier version of itself starring everyone's favorite blue hedgehog in the Model2 Collection's re-release of Sonic the Fighters.Not to be confused with Striking Vipers.

Darker and Edgier
 Fighting Vipers (Video Game) / int_14beeefd
comment
Darker and Edgier: Than its sister series, Virtua Fighter. The action is rougher and more brutal, and the fighters here can suffer some rather deadly fates. If they get KO'd with an uppercut, they can land on the edge of the wall and break their spine on it, and breaking the walls in certain stages will send them plummeting to their doom, with a loud thud being heard at the victory screen. Ironically, the Virtua Fighter games released after Fighting Vipers would become darker and edgier themselves, featuring stages with ring outs leading to very long drops that would be fatal in realistic settings.

Same Content, Different Rating: The 1996 Sega Saturn release was rated T in censored form, but the 2012 XBLA/PSN re-release bumped it down to an E10+ rating uncut. For the reverse case in Japan, it was rated the Sega "all ages" green rating for the Sega Saturn in Japan, but CERO C 15+ in the XBLA/PSN re-release.

comment
Where the Hell Is Springfield?: All of Armstone gives the impressions of the trappings of West Coast America, but its locales make it hard to pinpoint it to any state. Wild West frontier preserved Old Armstone Town gives it the feel that it's out in Southern to Middle California, the UFO Diner and City Tower gives impressions of Washington and Seattle with the former's coniferous forests in the city limits and the latter's uncanny similarity to the Space Needle, and 2 showcases a river dam system with a lot of mountainous terrain.

Death or Glory Attack
 Fighting Vipers (Video Game) / int_9446f847
comment
Death or Glory Attack: The Super KO in Fighting Vipers 2. Doing it requires you to have no armor but land it and you will win two points instantly, which will end the entire match in a standard Three Round Deathmatch. However it's one shot only: you must land it on your first attempt or you won't get another try at it for the remainder of the match (while having no armor on top of that).

Ms. Fanservice: Honey and Grace, who are both buxom and wear next-to-nothing when their armor is destroyed. But especially Honey, as she wears rubber or leather undergarments under her armor. She gains a number of alternate outfits in the Japanese Saturn version, including a swimsuit and schoolgirl outfit. Her ending also shows pictures of her undressing and showing off her cleavage for the player, and Fighters Megamix gives her the infamous "Taste of Honey" wallpaper. The Dreamcast port of the sequel gives her an alternate Naughty Nurse Outfit.
