If you’ve been itching to dive back into some classic brawlers — or maybe discover a few hidden gems you never got around to — Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is coming in hot. From what I’ve seen so far, it’s shaping up to be one hell of a package.

Capcom gave me a chance to preview the game before release, and let me tell you upfront: this collection slaps. It’s not just a cash grab or a lazy bundle. It’s a loving restoration and celebration of Capcom’s deeper fighting game vault.

More Than Just Power Stone

While Power Stone 1 and 2 are front and center in the marketing (and for good reason — they’re still a chaotic blast), there’s way more to this collection than one standout title. Capcom Fighting Collection 2 brings together multiple games, some of which have flown under the radar for years. This is the kind of curation that hardcore fans will appreciate. Newcomers will be thrilled to discover these games too.

Smart Features That Respect Your Time (and Skill Level)

Capcom’s been refining their retro collection game, and this collection builds on the lessons learned from the first Fighting Collection. It also builds on Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics which dropped last year. We’re talking about quality-of-life features that make a real difference:

  • One-button special moves – For folks who don’t have time to master quarter-circle combos, you can pull off flashy attacks without mashing your thumb into oblivion.
  • Quick Save – Perfect for achievement hunters or those of us tired of losing to cheap boss tactics. Drop a quick save, retry as needed, and move on.
  • Display and sound options – Whether you want to relive that CRT arcade look or go clean and modern, you’ve got options. Wallpapers, filters, screen sizes — it’s all customizable.
  • Training mode – Sharpen those combos or learn a character from scratch. It’s all here.

And yes, rollback netcode is included. So when you’re ready to take your skills online, you’re not stuck fighting lag instead of your opponent.

Preserving Capcom’s Legacy, Modernizing Access

This isn’t just about nostalgia (though there’s plenty of that). Capcom is making sure these games don’t fade into obscurity. They’ve added extras like art galleries, move lists, and even marquee cards from the original arcade cabinets. These additions really round out the experience.

Whether you were there for these titles in the arcades back in the day, or you’re jumping in for the first time, this collection lets these games shine like they were always meant to.

Should You Buy It?

Short answer: Absolutely. If you’re a fighting game fan — new, old, casual, or competitive — Capcom Fighting Collection 2 offers real value. It treats the source material with respect and gives you the tools to enjoy it your way.
