''Advanced Variable Geo 2'', released for the PlayStation in 1998, focuses on the new character Tamao Mitsurugi, a HeroWorshipper who wants to be just like Yuka, her idol. She winds up [[DefeatMeansFriendship befriending]] many of Yuka's old rivals, and finds out that Yuka has been suffering from extreme self doubt after watching K-1 and K-2 getting offed by their boss due to [[YouHaveFailedMe their failure to defeat her in the previous tournament]]. After re-igniting Yuka's fighting spirit and overcoming Miranda's PsychoForHire, Saki Shindou, Tamao and Yuka are pitted against Miranda's latest GattacaBabies, the Material twins, after which Tamao beats Miranda herself and the ''Advanced V.G.'' saga climaxes with everybody coming together to create a SpiritBomb that finishes off Miranda for good.

The first ''Advanced Variable Geo'' was a quasi-remake of the original ''Variable Geo'' {{H-Game}}, with [[BleachedUnderpants the H-scenes removed]]. It was released for the PCEngine (1994), SuperFamicom (1995, as ''[[SuperTitle64Advance Super Variable Geo]]'', with the story mode removed), PlayStation (1996) and SegaSaturn (1997; the H-scenes were restored to this last version). It introduced the series' overarching plot in which the waitresses, especially Yuka and Reimi, are being manipulated from behind the scenes by Reimi's mother Miranda, who is using them all as test subjects in order to grow herself the ultimate fighting machine.

!!These games provide examples of:
* ActionGirl: Pretty much everybody.
* [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Arrogant Kung Fu Girl]]: Practically half the cast prior to their [[DefeatMeansFriendship befriending]], although Reimi was by far the worst offender.
* AwesomeByAnalysis: Kaori Yanase uses data gathered from her fights in order to develop her training regimen.
* BerserkButton: For Jun, it's her old nickname of "Bonecrusher"; although prior to ''Advanced V.G. 2'', she also had an extreme distaste for Americans. For Erina, it's people who discriminate against her because she ''is'' American.
* {{Bokukko}}: Yuna fits this trope in the masculine pronoun department, however Jun fits this trope in both the masculine pronoun, tomboyish appearance and personality departments.
* BrandX: Just about every restaurant featured in the games is a ShoutOut to one that exists/existed in RealLife Japan. ''Hanna Miller's'' is based on ''Anna Miller's'', ''Bikkuri Monkey'' is based on ''Bikkuri Donkey'', ''TheRival'' is based on ''The Royal'', ''Skalark'' is based on ''Skylark'', ''Fushiya'' is based on the ''Fujiya Confectionary'', etc.
* BrattyHalfPint: Manami Kusunoki, who despite being 16 years old, still throws tantrums like a child half her age.
* ButNotTooForeign: Reimi, whose father Souichirou is Japanese, and mother Miranda is American.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Miranda Jahana, until her husband and daughter decide to lock her out of the company forever.
* DanceBattler: Ayako Yuuki, whose movements became more and more dance-like as the series went.
* DefeatMeansFriendship (Generally, the girls fighting in the tournaments become good friends with each other over the course of the story.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Ultimately, Reimi Jahana. She started out as a RichBitch [[TheOjou Ojou]] [[TheRival Rival]], but eventually warmed up to to Yuka and company.
* DisneyDeath / NoOneCouldSurviveThat: In the ending to ''Advanced V.G. 2'', Chiho is shot at point blank by Miranda, and then tells the rest of her {{Nakama}} to blow up the plane she and Miranda are in with a SpiritBomb. Everyone thinks she bit the dust until she [[NotQuiteDead turns up at her own funeral]].
* DittoFighter: Tamao Mitsurugi, who based her whole fighting style on moves copied from Yuka.
* DysfunctionJunction: Just about everybody except Yuka, Manami, and Tamao have ''extremely'' dark or messed up pasts.
* {{Eagleland}}: In an unusual case, Erina Goldsmith is a pureblooded American raised in Japan.
* EvilMatriarch: Miranda, natch.
* ExtremityExtremist: Kaori, who as a practitioner of Tae Kwon Do, only ever uses kicks.
* FanserviceWithASmile: Pretty much everybody.
* FragileSpeedster: Manami. May be one of the only examples in a fighting game in which the FragileSpeedster is '''not''' a {{Ninja}}.
* FreudianExcuse: Reimi. Her mother put her through TrainingFromHell, never once acknowledged or praised her, and ultimately used her as a testbed for her GattacaBabies.
* GagBoobs: Yuka is so ridiculously busty she's actually ''embarrassed'' by her appearance.
* GattacaBabies: Miranda's modus operandi. Resulted in K-1, K-2, and the twin Material units.
* GratuitousEnglish: Reimi ("Burning Love!" "Rose Stinger!")'s and Kaori ("Data Pulse!" "Flat Scan!")'s attack names.
* HairColors: About half the cast has plausible shades of brown, black, and in Erina Goldsmith's case, blonde. The other half results in things like Manami's pink pigtails, Kaori and Ayako's shades of purple, and Reimi's silver hair.
* JackOfAllStats: Yuka.
* KickTheDog: Miranda's specialty.
* LipstickLesbian / StraightGay: Ayako.
* MeaningfulName: Reimi and Miranda's surname, "Jahana" literally means "evil flower".
* MightyGlacier: Jun Kubota.
* MouthyKid: Manami.
* {{Ninja}}: Chiho Masuda overtly, her cousin Kyoko Kirishima is also technically one.
* OhCrap: Miranda has a short moment of this when she finds out that she's been locked out of the Jahana Group in ''Advanced V.G. 2''.
* TheOneGuy: K-1, who is the ''only'' male to ever be seen in a combat role.
* ParentalAbandonment: Satomi's parents died in a car accident. The whereabouts of most other characters' are never elaborated upon, although in Erina's case, her desperate longing to bring her grandmother to Japan might be a good indicator that her parents are gone as well.
* PlayingWithFire: Satomi might as well be a GenderFlip of [[TheKingOfFighters Kyo Kusanagi]]. Erina uses KiAttacks to supercharge a cigarette lighter to create a makeshift flamethrower.
* PrincessCurls: Reimi. All part of TheOjou image.
* PromotionToParent: Satomi towards her younger brother. Keeping the bills paid isn't easy for her.
* PsychoForHire: Saki Shindou in ''Advanced V.G. 2''.
* TheRival: Reimi becomes this to Yuka. Erina's restaurant is actually ''called'' TheRival.
* RyuAndKen: Yuka and in a twist on this trope, Chiho.
* StoneWall: Kyoko Kirishima in ''Advanced V.G. 2''. Her own offense is rather weak, but her defense is high, as is the damage output from her counter throws.
* SuckMyRose: Reimi's red roses are her trademark.
* SuperPrototype: Technically, Reimi in regards to her mother's GattacaBabies.
* TokenMiniMoe: Manami, and in ''Advanced V.G. 2'', Tamao.
* VictoriasSecretCompartment: Elena keeps her above mentioned lighter [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything snugly between her breasts]].
* WeWillMeetAgain: Miranda tries to pull this in the climax of ''Advanced V.G. 2''. [[SubvertedTrope She doesn't make it very far]].
* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl: Reimi.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Miranda disposes of K-1 and K-2 for this reason at the end of ''Advanced V.G.''.
