What the sequel’s store text adds

The sequel advertises combo chains, parries, special attacks, finishers, Arcade, Challenge, Score Attack, Jet Fury, and Overtake. The first game advertises Arcade, Survival, Challenge, and an unlockable Relay Mode for switching fighters. Local co-op is shared by both games. The official descriptions support this feature comparison without implying that the older game lacks a mechanic merely because its summary is shorter.
