MrGSTAR321 what a great video. Totally agree, Streets Of Rage 2 is one of the best games on the Sega Genesis or Mega Drive console. I consider this game is much better than the famous Final Fight and Double Dragon.
The NES port of _Double Dragon_ is great, especially the music, but it does have its drawbacks. The biggest NES omission is that you can't play cooperative 2-player, and I find the requirement for precise timing to get past the sliding blocks annoying (you'd think we could just jump across the top).
Love this game to death. It was all I played back when I had my Mega Drive as a kid. :) Did you ever plan on doing Streets of Rage 3 at any point? That is the hardest one in my opinion... I never have been able to beat that game on hardest at any point in my life. (not even now) Awesome playthrough, by the way, as usual. I respect the fact that you always know what you're talking about with every game you play, or at least have knowledge of it. That extra life at the very beginning of level 1... I never even knew about it, my mind was blown lol PS: Oh btw, that life power up that you keep mentioning, I think it's supposed to be an apple, not a cherry. XD It's on a plate so it must be an apple and also... it's even funnier about the game the guys are playing in the arcades. "Bare Knuckle" is the name of Streets of Rage in Japan, so they're technically breaking the fourth wall, sorta... well at least referencing itself.
Ur pretty knowledgeable about the fighting system that i'm surprised u didn't know about the pressing up and jump button trick when been thrown, which helps u land on ur feet and take no damage.
Loved playing this game on my emulator many years ago, thanks for the vid. Those food items clearly aren't cherries, or even cakes as you alternatively suggested. They don't look like perfect apples, but they're also too deformed to be cakes. And cherries don't provide subsistence like apples do. And the stick at the top make far more sense as being the stem of an apple than as being anything on a cake. Simple elimination logic, haha.
I really wish you'd do Streets of rage 1, still an awesome game, with awesome music. Also why not do some Killer instinct 1 and 2 arcade! I really would love to see you do those.
8:50 "Stun Lock" is the common term for that. 15:30 "Crowd Control" is the term your looking for. 1:00:00 I'm pretty sure when Shiva (and any other enemies) grabs you, you can use your special move to at least mitigate the damage you receive and to counter attack, though you only have a split second to do it. All times: Respect the Pipe
I remember playing Streets of Rage 2 with my brother in the Sega Genesis Collection for XBOX 360.I was like 5 or 6 or something and I was always excited to play it.Also MR.GSTAR321 I always played as Axel.You have made my day😁
(18:21) _Streets of Rage_ is _Bare Knuckle_ in Japan, hence the arcade cabinets, and _BKII_ posters. (28:57) At the top of the screen, "Bare II". _Bare Knuckle II,_ which is this game. (33:53) "He's gonna make it-just, but the chicken's off." -- _Garth Marenghi's Darkplace,_ ep.2 (40:00) Zamza / Souther (Stage 3 / 6) and Rocky Bear (Stage 5) are the most annoying bosses. (54:46) Particle and Molecule (Stage 7) wouldn't be so bad, except when they twirl their flails. (1:02:00) To deal with Mr. X, stay close to him. It's nice when he guns down his own guys, though.
20:56 I honestly thought that the maximum number of lives you could possess was nine. This meant I would sometimes just leave that extra life on the ground since hey, I'm already at nine lives anyway so what's the point of picking it up? Learning that you can possess more than nine lives at once was a real eye opener for me!
I remeber getting a sega my first sega genesis when i turned 13 a year ago and all three streets of rages were on there I played this game and ever ssince its been one of my most favorite games. To e retro games seem more fun than the games there are now.
This is my favorite in the series, as many people can attest. Not as many moves as in Streets of Rage 3 - but imo this actually looks better. Awesome music and balance 📊 between the characters... My favorite is Max; the slowest, but his power reigns supreme. 😉
@GSTAR321 there is a difficulty level called “Mania”... if you beat the game on the hardest level you’ll see the message... it also allows you to start with more lives... try it out
you should try SoR Remake v5. it's a total make over of this. new levels, new bosses, new weapons. it's great. and much harder. please consider doing a playthrough Gstar
I played SOR2 and I completed the whole game and defeating enemies that subjugated the streets and Adam has been kidnapped by Mr.X’s thugs and four heroes 🦸♀️🦸 🦸♂️ 🦸 arrives on the streets and rescue their friend Adam and defeat Mr.X and his thugs and put his syndicate that subjugated the whole street out of action and freed Adam and got a helicopter 🚁 ride home. 👍
Some guys have remade streets of rage. Its called SOR remake v5.1 and its on PC. It's essentially a mix up of all the streets of rages. U can even change the settings to turn on/off running and shit like that. Its quite comprehensive! But the shitty thing is, the ai is bullshit. In streets of rage 1, if you hit an enemy, he got micro stunned. In remake, their stun time is wayy too short. U cant even follow up a hit with a grab, they'll just hit u.
Always loved this game and unfortunately never grew up with it. I usually used Blaze. It's one of the cartridges I am missing from my Genesis collection that I need to get a hold of!
theres a hacked version of this game called the syndicate wars. allows u to play everyone including the enemies and mr x. did the run with shiva and y-signal. easy with shiva but hard as hell with signal
Heh I love hearing your lamentations, coupled with the fact you got such high achievements in this game. I frigging love this game, but it is actually pretty easy if you take Axel...even on the hardest level it only really gets tough towards the end when those "atom" and "molecule" robots come out... :)
41:10 Epic yell.
@Dalton Torin Cringe.
33:24 "So this is a really easy Boss"....
Dies immediately :D
This guy loves him some Streets of Rage love to listen to him.
up+jump right before you hit the ground when thrown and you will land safely.
I've heard of this, but the throw happens so quickly that I haven't had time to respond.
@@Christopher-N you can hold up+jump as you are being thrown, you don't have to time it
I watched my dad beat this game at my house he was really into it ever since it has been my favorite game on the sega
MrGSTAR321 what a great video. Totally agree, Streets Of Rage 2 is one of the best games on the Sega Genesis or Mega Drive console. I consider this game is much better than the famous Final Fight and Double Dragon.
Double dragon was class and is still amazing to this day
Emer alvarez gomez I agree
100% agree

The biggest NES omission is that you can't play cooperative 2-player, and I find the requirement for precise timing to get past the sliding blocks annoying (you'd think we could just jump across the top).
Especially better than any of the final fight sequels
The ninja at 26:00 was really giving you the business.
Nah, Bear Jr.(the boxer) at the last stage was working him over😂😂😂
We need more videos from this guy
FUN FACT: The enemy named Galsia was supposed to be Garcia but the Japanese couldn't pronounce it right, hence Galsia!!
Oh Gstar... Please come back bro... The internet is not the same without you dude.
oh yes!!!!!! the legendary streets of rage 2!!!! best soundtrack EVER even more impressive coming from 16bit system, thanks for upload
Damn straight, the music in this game is Outstanding!
+MrGSTAR321 have you tried the Streets of Rage Remake before? if not it's quite good. lots of custom settings and features and its free
this has very good music, but I believe master of monsters has the best genesis music. I would place this number 2.
Lt.Dan a matter of opinion of course...but globally this is rated 1. depends on what game you played growing up
+Dave Romaine shinobi 3 has the best genesis music
40:28 40:48 had me crying.... piece'd you up
That soundtrack.
When you're thrown, press up + jump before you hit the ground to recover/avoid being damage.
Thanks.
I dint even no that thanks
Eh, To be Blunt I'm Too Lazy to do That.
When I 1st learned of this, it blew my mind as a kid
It's an apple btw...
He keeps calling it a cherry!
NeoXyst true
Obvious Apple 🍎
It looks like an upside down pine apple cake 😂
Ahh the memories! I love this game! #nostalgia
I love the 80's retro street atmosphere vibe going on in this game.
Best God damn soundtrack ever!!! I remember when I was young listening to the intro over and over again! I agree with you 100% GStar!¡!
Love this game to death. It was all I played back when I had my Mega Drive as a kid. :) Did you ever plan on doing Streets of Rage 3 at any point? That is the hardest one in my opinion... I never have been able to beat that game on hardest at any point in my life. (not even now)

I’ve got this on the PC and complete it at least once a month - love it! Don’t make games like this anymore and I really miss it! Great vid man 👍
The memories from playing this game
Ur pretty knowledgeable about the fighting system that i'm surprised u didn't know about the pressing up and jump button trick when been thrown, which helps u land on ur feet and take no damage.
Good on ya mate. One of my most favorite game and I still play this on my Sega Genesis.
I rented this game many times when i was a kid. Eventually i bought it used and probably beat the game over 50 times
Fantastic game! I've played the hell out of this game on my megadrive! Fantastic music by Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima!
The music is awesome in this game.
Streets of rage in Japan is bare knuckle
@tapset47 Yes shit.
good to know.
good to know.
@tapset47 he posted that because OP doesn't seem to know what Bare Knuckle is at 18:35. So pay attention before trying to be a smartass.
@@thekrustaceox5181 Hello.
Addicting gameplay, great story and soundtrack. I hope for a next gen SoR4

i love that late 1800s looking boxer boss. he's freakin cool 40:40
Ahh beautiful game played since childhood It has been difficult at some stages how I forget those days
Right, this is one of the best games ever made.

33:30 always thought of that boss as the the ultimate warrior from wrestling 😁
You can play as him
Goddamn, I remember playing this game at my cousin's house.

this is one of my favorite games of all thyme
25:55 lmao
I like the explanations in your vids.
Straight classic!
I grew up with this game. Such good times.
This was an excellent game. Streets Of Rage 2 never gets old.

Imagine the game got put in modern console and they had 4 player mode
I was 7 when I played this. Much feels.
When the black ninja at the end grabs you use the fire punch thing to stop him!

Best Sega game hands down.
theres a hacked version of this game called the syndicate wars. allows u to play everyone including the enemies and mr x. did the run with shiva and y-signal. easy with shiva but hard as hell with signal
might be 10 years too late but while you're in the air after getting thrown you can hold up and press jump to recover and take no damage
Hey, is that a real hardware you're playing here ? Because I tried to play it on ps3 but it doesn't look as good as this!
This game is awesome. Can you do a play through of final fight for playstation?
i love this game such good times
Love this guy he sounds like me when I game rage lol awesome games the the streets of rage games classics
love the music
MrGstart321 love the rants!
I love this game me and my brother beat it several times together

Axel Looks Like Ken From Street Fighter
Have you played streets of rage 1 ?
