The player faces against series of eight opponents, including a character-specific final opponent, who will exchange dialogue with the player 's character before the match. The single-player mode was changed slightly from the first game. If a second-player interrupts the gameplay to challenge the other player, then the first player will be allowed to change the Super Art of his or her selected character. Each character's personal action is also accompanied by an additional benefit if completed successfully for example, Ryu's lowers his stun gauge. Other new abilities added to the game are "tech throw", the ability to escape from a throwing attack, and "personal action", a character-specific taunt. Frame data has changed, some characters gained new moves, and some animations are improved. Super Meter length is changed from previous game. By using a certain portion of Super Art gauge (after gaining certain amount of gauge), the player can perform an EX Special version of a regular Special Move by inputting the command and pressing two attack buttons of the same type (such as two punch buttons) instead of one.

In addition to Super Arts, the player can also perform slightly more powerful versions of their Special Moves called EX Specials. In addition to the regular Akuma, a computer-controlled version named "Shin Akuma" also appears in the single-player mode. Thus the playable character roster increased to 14. Series' recurring hidden character Akuma also returned as a secret computer-controlled challenger and selectable character. Yun and Yang from the first game also became separate characters, with Yang receiving his unique set of Special Moves and Super Arts to distinguish him from Yun.
