Advanced Variable Geo is an all-female 2D fighting game developed by TGL and released for the PlayStation in 1996. Based on the earlier PC series, this console adaptation focuses purely on competitive combat while keeping the franchise’s unique premise: participants in a grand martial arts tournament must also work as waitresses at family restaurants to promote them. Featuring colorful sprite work and fluid mechanics, the game offers a dedicated Story Mode following protagonist Yuka Takeuchi, alongside standard versus modes.
How to Play
Combat relies on traditional 2D fighting mechanics with a mix of light and heavy attacks, special moves triggered by directional inputs, and desperation super moves that unlock when your character’s health is critically low. Using standard browser controls, use the Arrow Keys for movement and jumping, and the Z, X, A, and S keys (mapped to the PlayStation’s face buttons) for your basic punches and kicks. Press Enter to pause or select options.
Tips
- Take advantage of desperation moves when your health flashes red; these high-damage attacks can quickly turn the tide of a losing round.
- If you are new to the game, start with Yuka Takeuchi. Her standard projectile and anti-air attacks use familiar fighting game motion inputs, making her an accessible character to learn.
