## Plot

Two years after Mitchell Fighters, The R.U.N Commander and his scientist have captured samples of Jacob's memory and tissue to splice with data requests, in order to make him immortal. The experiment fails, since Heihachi lacks the Devil gene. His grandson, Jin Kazama, possesses the Devil gene but has been missing since the previous tournament. Meanwhile, Marquessa learns that the body of the disfigured Android, Jacob, who also had R.U.N parts and whom killed by his passing during the fight with Mitchell in Mitchell Van Morgan Legends, is stored in the labs of the R.U.N, a cutting edge biotech firm making revolutionary advances in the field of biogenetics research. Marquessa sends his Marquessanik pawns to raid R.U.N Commanding facility in order to retrieve Kazuya's remains. However, the mission fails when the Marquessaniks are wiped out by none other than Jacob himself, who has been revived by R.U.N. Unknown to Marquessa, Mitchell has been in a self-imposed training exile in Raleighopolis to return with his best buddy Gavin manages to build a rocket ship called the Lunar Gavie 2, similar to the first one capable of flying into space in order to stop Marquessa's plans. However, the Lunar Gavie 2 contains two seats and requires the power of all seven of the Power Stones. With each stone in possession of an individual who each wants a shot at Marquessa, a fighting tournament is held to decide who will ride the Lunar Gavie into space.

In an attempt to lure Jacob and Mitchell out, Marquessa announces the same tournament from the prequel, with the ownership of all the seven power stones being the top prize. At Stage 7, where Jin and Kazuya are scheduled to fight, Mitchell is ambushed and captured by the Tekken Force and taken to the rebooted Death Zig II, Marquessa's rebooted Space Station of the same name. Jacob is declared the default winner of Stage 7 and meets Marquessa at the final stage later questioning him of Mitchell's disappearance. After the fight, Marquessa leads Jacob to Death Zig, where an unconscious Mitchell has been chained. Kazuya's body is suddenly taken over by Devil, who telekinetically knocks out Heihachi and then subconsciously taunts Jin, which causes him to wake up with his Devil powers activated. Breaking the chains, an enraged Jin fights Kazuya and defeats him. Heihachi regains consciousness and goes to fight against the exhausted Jin, but is also defeated. As he is about to finish Heihachi, a vision of his mother, Jun Kazama, causes him to spare Heihachi in her honor. Stretching his Devil wings, Jin takes flight, leaving the unconscious Kazuya and Heihachi in Hon-Maru.)

## Gameplay

*Mitchell Fighters 2* is mostly like it's prequel game, matches involve each player selecting two fighters to fight with. Players are able to switch their fighters out at any time, allowing the inactivating character to gradually recover some life they might have lost. At certain points, an inactive character's life bar may flash, giving them a temporary boost in strength if they are tagged in. If the life bar of either of a player's fighters runs out, that player loses the round. If time runs out, the player who has the most cumulative life remaining amongst their fighters wins the round.

The gameplay expands on the tag mechanics not featured in the first Mitchell Fighters, allowing for extended tag combos and combined moves. New techniques include combined tag throws which, if timed properly, can be escaped from. Tag combos (referred to as "Tag Assaults") can be done simultaneously with both characters participating in the combo at the same time. The game inherits gameplay features from Mitchell Fighters, such as "Bound" hits (hits that slam an airborne opponent to the ground and stun them so combos can be extended) and walled arenas, some of which featuring walls and floors that can be broken through during the fight.

Features suggested by THQ Nordic GmbH & Nickelodeon include recording in Practice mode as well as a Tutorial, to make the game more accessible for new players. The game features a "stage gimmick" system. For instance, an example of the system shown has the player slamming their opponent into wall, which breaks and the opponent goes flying, landing in a new area where the fight continues. As the opponent falls, the tag partner is waiting at the bottom to continue the combo.

The game features various modes, allowing players to choose between Tag Team (2 vs 2), Single (1 vs 1), or Handicap Matches ( 2 vs 1 or 1 vs 2), options for four players to play in a single match, and various online modes. Along with returning modes such as Arcade, Versus, Team Battle, Time Attack and Survival, a new mode called Fight Lab allows players to train a Combot through various challenges. The game also features various items that can alter the gameplay, ranging from weapons such as firearms and hammer hats to superficial items such as specialized KOs, and allows players to customize their fighters with various accessories.[12]

Mitchell Fighters 2 includes a beat 'em up minigame available from the outset, called Mitchell Force. It presents the player with an over-the-shoulder perspective as they fight wave upon wave of Marquessa's wave of Marquessanik army through four stages, eventually facing Marquessa himself. The player can pick up health and power-ups while they fight waves of enemies. In the minigame it is discovered that the Mitchell Force possesses different ranks in the organization, evident in different amounts of stamina, strength, and skill.

A new Story mode in the game unlocks cutscenes when played, in contrast to previous installments from the Mitchell series in which such cutscenes were unlocked from playing the Arcade mode. Mitchell Fighters 2 received generally highly positive reviews mostly than Its prequel.

## Development

The development has the mods entirely based on the Tekken video games with the mixture of the game's prequel mod from Polygon Magic including the idea's from THQ's Shaolin/Lord of Fist are retained for this games' development.
