"Fighting Vipers" was developed using the same game engine which was first used for "Virtua Fighter 2", and uses a nearly identical arcade board, though with slightly faster processing speed. Unlike "Virtua Fighter 2", there are no ring-outs; producer Yu Suzuki stated, "We received comments about the ring-outs in "VF" and so for "FV" the fighting can continue mercilessly."
