Art of Fighting 2, known in Japan as Dragon & Tiger Fist 2, is a 1994 arcade fighting game developed and published by SNK for the Neo Geo MVS system board. It is a direct sequel to Art of Fighting, involving both new and returning characters competing against each other in the King of Fighters tournament. The plot features Ryo Sakazaki and his friends as they work together to take down the mafia host Geese Howard, whose forces manipulated them in the first Art of Fighting game. It retains most of the characters from the first Art of Fighting rather than just Ryo and Robert Garcia. The gameplay remains faithful to the original Art of Fighting, including Desperation Moves and taunts that are used strategically. This game was promoted with The King of Fighters '94 released in the same year by the company. It was ported to the Neo Geo AES, Neo Geo CD and Super Famicom. It would be later ported as part of the entire Art of Fighting trilogy for more modern consoles.

The game was developed in a year by SNK. Unlike the first Art of Fighting, the game did not have a direct story, which led to more freedom in designing characters. The popularity of Fatal Fury: King of Fighters and its original video animation led to the inclusion of Geese Howard as final boss.

Nearly every playable character from the first Art of Fighting, excluding Ryuhaku Todoh, returns in Art of Fighting 2. The game also adds three new characters, consisting of Yuri Sakazaki, Eiji Kisaragi, and Temjin, for a total of 12. While the previous game only allowed Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia to be used in the single-player mode, Art of Fighting 2 expands the mode to accommodate all 12 characters. Additionally, Geese Howard from the Fatal Fury series appears as a secret boss if the player meets specific requirements in the single-player mode. Geese is not a playable character, however, with the exception of the Vs. mode in the SNES version.

The game was praised by both GamePro and Electronic Gaming Monthly for having far better graphics, sound, character selection and gameplay technique than the original Art of Fighting, though three of EGM's four reviewers complained that in single player mode the opponent AI is "incredibly cheap". GamePro gave it ratings (out of 5) of 5 for graphics, 5 for sound, 4.5 for controls, and 4.5 for fun factor. Electronic Gaming Monthly's four reviewers gave it ratings (out of 10) of 8, 8, 6, and 8. Computer and Video Games gave it a 95% score, calling it "easily the best beat-'em up to appear in recent years", comparing it favorably with recent Street Fighter II incarnations but criticizing its high £150-175 cost. Nintendo Life found the game superior to the first one due to its improved single player mode as well as system though he still had mixed feeling about the enjoyment the fighting system can give. Pocket Gamer found the fighting system too simplistic in comparison to other SNK works like KOF. Despite praising the improvements, Hardcore Gaming felt that the gameplay was too similar to its predecessor. The Super Nintendo port was panned as the "version is nothing short of a disaster, with horribly inaccurate visuals, atrocious controls, and slaughtered game physics" IGN agreed, finding the AI too challenging while the visuals instead feel like a stepdown, ruining SNK's attempts to improve the formula they established. ONE37pm listed it as the third best SNK game, citing the larger cast and gameplay as major improvements but criticizing the big difficulty. GameInformer noticed that while the fighting game series was overshadowed by Mortal Kombat II, Art of Fighting 2 should not be overlooked as it still possesses several attractive traits that made the first game attractive and SNK improved on it like the improved faster gameplay comparable to Samurai Shodown despite still not enjoying the SNK sequel.

The original trilogy were all released for the Neo Geo MVS arcade system, Neo Geo AES home console, and Neo Geo CD. Art of Fighting was ported to the PC Engine CD, SNES, and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, while Art of Fighting 2 was also ported to Super Famicom. Many of these ports made minor changes to the gameplay, story, or graphics. The Neo Geo trilogy was compiled in Art of Fighting Anthology for the PlayStation 2, while the original game was also included as part of SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 and the NEOGEO Station service. The trilogy has also been digitally re-released via the Wii Virtual Console and the ACA Neo Geo series. Art of Fighting 2 was re-released for the Wii's Virtual Console in North America on 28 July 2008 and Nintendo Switch's ACA Neo Geo worldwide on 11 January 2018.
