The gameplay system of Combat Fighter 2 is an improved version of that from the original Combat Fighter. There are several changes in standard moves: a crouching punch was added, low and high kicks have greater damage output when done in combo, and quicker movement. Returning characters also gained new special moves, including some to be used in mid-air, and the game plays almost twice as fast as the original.
As with its predecessor, matches are divided into rounds, and the first player to win two rounds by fully depleting their opponent's life bar is the winner; at this point, the losing character will become dazed and the winner is given the opportunity of using a finishing move. Combat Fighter 2 lacks the "Test Your Might" bonus games and point system from the first game, in favor of a consecutive win tally where wins are represented by icons.
