Digimon Rumble Arena 2

Digimon Rumble Arena 2 (デジモンバトルクロニクル) is a Digimon fighting game released in 2004 by Bandai Games for the GameCube, PlayStation 2, and the Xbox. It is the sequel to Digimon Rumble Arena and has a similar style of gameplay as Super Smash Bros. Melee, except with a health meter.

Story
Digimon Rumble Arena 2 is based on Digimon battling it out in a battle royale to see who is the strongest of the Digimon in question.

Characters
The game features characters from the first four seasons of the anime (or Digimon Adventure, Digimon Adventure 02, Digimon Tamers, and Digimon Frontier in Japan). Each one has their own special moves and digivolutions, as well as slightly varying normal attacks and taunts.

Playable characters

 * Agumon has a mixture of weak and strong attacks but good range on his Pepper Breath attack. He digivolves to Greymon and WarGreymon.
 * Gomamon is fast with weak offense. He digivolves to Ikkakumon and Zudomon.
 * Biyomon has an advantage with speed but low in offence and defense. She digivolves to Birdramon and Garudamon.
 * Flamemon can digivolve to Agunimon and BurningGreymon.
 * Gabumon is a slow, yet very offensively oriented Digimon. His digivolutions are Garurumon and MetalGarurumon.
 * Guilmon is somewhat weak physically but very quick on his feet. His special attack, Pyro Sphere, travels straight forward and has a bit of a recoil. His digivolutions are Growlmon and Gallantmon.
 * Gatomon is the second fastest character in the game and can also paralyze her foes. Her digivolution line is made up of Nefertimon and Angewomon.
 * Patamon has low stats but is the fastest character in the entire game. He digivolves to Angemon and MagnaAngemon.
 * Palmon is fast and attacks with poison and sleep dust. Togemon and Lillymon are her digivolutions.
 * Tentomon is both fast and strong, and can digivolve to Kabuterimon and MegaKabuterimon.
 * Veemon has limited range on all attacks, yet is powerful. His Vee-Headbutt, Vee-Knock-Out and Vee-Punch moves can cause a lot of damage. Flamedramon and Imperialdramon Fighter Mode are his digivolutions.

Hidden characters
These are characters that are not available at first and have to be unlocked by fulfilling certain conditions. All "Black" Digimon have the ability to absorb energy while grabbing the opponent.


 * BlackAgumon is a virus version of Agumon with a slower, more powerful normal attack. His digivolution line is BlackGreymon and BlackWarGreymon, and he can be unlocked when beating the game with two different characters or by beating him during a "surprise attack."
 * BlackGabumon is fiery version of Gabumon unlockable in the same way as BlackAgumon. He can digivolve to BlackGarurumon and BlackMetalGarurumon.
 * BlackGuilmon is unlockable in the same manner as the other "Black" digimon. He digivolves to BlackGrowlmon and ChaosGallantmon.
 * Duskmon is well balanced in all stats, with one attack having infinite range, and another move being teleportation. He is a strong melee fighter and is unlocked when beaten in 1-player mode.
 * MaloMyotismon has a strong defense and melee attack with several "dark" projectiles. He is unlocked when beaten in 1-player mode.
 * Diaboromon has exceptionally powerful attacks, one being a spin attack, and a projectile which is as big as he is. He is a boss, unlocked when defeated in 1-player.
 * Omnimon is a well balanced character with a fast combo. He is a boss and unlocked as such.
 * Neemon is the weakest, but fastest, boss. He is unlocked in the same manner as other bosses.

Other Characters
These characters are not playable but play a big part during different modes of the game.


 * Calumon returns from the original Rumble Arena game, now the main character in the game's Crazy Chase mini-game. In the mini-game the players must give chase to Calumon and touch him 20 or above times to win. Calumon also makes cameos during the loading sequence of battles holding info boxes of random character information.
 * Phantomon is the only minor Digimon to make an appearance. He is a rare powerup known as Summon Phantomon. He randomly appears and stalks a Digimon. If a Digimon touches Phantomon, he'll instantly KO it with his Shadow Scythe. It is seemly impossible to kill him, but he disappears after a set time.
 * D-Reaper never appears as a character, but the stage Chaos Wastelands is fought inside the D-Reaper. The Jeri clone can be seen flying in the background.
