Gameplay

WWF Superstars 2 features a more limited moveset than its predecessor. All wrestlers share the same moveset with no signature moves. Moves are limited to strikes (punching and kicking), grapples (headbutt, suplex, and bodyslam), ground attacks (stomp and elbow drop), Irish whip moves (clothesline and dropkick), and an aerial attack (flying elbow drop). Players can press the Select button once per match to regain strength.

Modes of play include one-on-one (standard and cage match variations), tag team, and tournament, where the player chooses a wrestler and must defeat the other five to win the WWF World Heavyweight Championship. [3]
