Virtua Fighter 2.1

Released only in Japan, Virtua Fighter 2.1 featured enhanced graphics, slightly tweaked gameplay and a re-designed Dural as a playable fighter.  This version was also released as part of the Sega Ages 2500 collection. 
The European release has, under the Options tab, the ability to choose between versions 2.0 and 2.1, however the manual makes no reference to Dural. The changes are listed as follows: 

• Expert Mode added
• Jacky's Crescent and Sweep attack levels corrected 
• Akira's long-range dashing elbow corrected to dashing elbow with foot position change
• Shun's long range sweep is corrected to sweep without foot position change
• Wolf's punches and elbow attacks added
• Certain moves no longer knock an opponent down. It is also more difficult to back away from an opponent (the pause between steps is slightly longer).
