A purple aura surrounds the character, the sky turns a fair bit darker and more clouds gather. Raging Soul also gives incredible boost of strength and defense to the character.
While in Raging Soul mode, Super or Ultimate Attacks cannot be used unless a special item is equipped. Additionally, Raging Blast 2 sports the new Raging Soul System which enables characters to reach a special state, increasing their combat abilities to the ultimate level. These include signature 'Pursuit Attacks' which enable players to initiate attack combos, juggling the opponent in a string of devastating strikes throughout the environment. Destructible environments, and character trademark attacks and transformations return and are true to the series.
The gameplay takes a very similar approach to that of its predecessor.
