Fighting Vipers (ファイティングバイパーズ) is a 3D fighting game developed by Sega-AM2.
The game was first released in the arcade in 1995 using the Sega Model 2 hardware and ported the same year to the Sega Saturn with significantly reduced graphics.

A sequel, Fighting Vipers 2 was released, introducing new characters (Emi, a computer geek who fights with a self-developed mecha armor, and Charlie, a BMX rider - also some bonus ones, like Del Sol, a Mexican wrestler with a Sun mask, and Kuhn, a Dural exact copycat) and was ported to the Sega Dreamcast but only in Japan and Europe.
Fighting Vipers was also re-released for the PlayStation 2 as part of the Sega Ages line, though a PAL version was never issued. As well as this all of the Fighting Vipers characters were used in Sega-AM2's Fighters Megamix for the Sega Saturn.

Apparently, I illegally owned this game outside Japan on the Saturn..? I didn't have that warning pop up on the copy I had. Grace's BGM music brings me back to 1997..

@shinra358 Dead or Alive uses the VF2 engine. This explains why from a mechanics perspective they move similar. So in essence, you could say that DOA is very similar to VF2, however the game is indeed different thanks to the countering button (just like you said) and the Danger Zones.

Its a pity that Tecmo STILL don''t understand that its the Counter-system that made DOA amazingly unique, not the graphics. Which is why DOA1 is STILL the best.

@ROCKNINJA777 DOA uses only 2 buttons for attacks and is somewhat dependant on its countering system so i doubt it is like virtual fighter. but who cares. it is a genre. it's kinda like saying, oooooh ncaa is like madden......xD. there's only but so many ways you can do a fighting game or any genre for that matter.
