Episode 115
In 1991 Sega's Genesis had gained a lot of momentum, but rival Nintendo was getting ready to launch their new Super NES in North America. Nintendo had secured the exclusive rights to Final Fight, the hottest arcade game of the time, and it would ONLY appear on the Super Nintendo.
Sega wasn't about to just let Nintendo win, and the game they designed to compete with Final Fight turned out to be better than the game they were imitating! Streets of Rage was the first entry in one of the greatest Beat 'em franchises of all time, and it all started here.
So how did Sega manage to "one up" Nintendo in this round of the ancient console wars? In today's episode we'll find out, then we'll do a deep dive on the gameplay where we'll learn:
* The best strategies for finishing EVERY ROUND with ANY CHARACTER!
* Secret techniques that will make fighting the basic enemies easy!
* How to do Infinite Grabs against bosses!
* Which character should we choose? A full breakdown of how much damage they each deal!
* A way to SKIP THE FINAL boss? We'll reveal the secret of the Credits Warp!
* How to get the Good AND Bad Endings for every character!
* The best way to defeat EVERY BOSS... even MR. X himself, AND MORE!
Thanks for watching!

I used to play this with my grandfather growing up. We loved to play video games together. I sure do miss him.
I miss my Gramps, too. Cheers, pal.
My favorite beat em up series. I'm glad it's made a comback.
Streets of Rage 4 was an absolute miracle and I can't wait to see if there'll be a fifth.
I love Streets of Rage 4. Playing as each character is fun because you can try all their different combos and special moves.
I’m just getting into 4 after hating on it for years. I always thought SoR Remake was superior 🤷🏽♂️
Anyway it’s so good. Captured that 90s feel so well
I mean, it's gotta be objectively the best beat'em up series of all time at this point. SoR 4 propelled it to that status, for sure
There should be an enhanced SOR pack similar to what Konami did with Ninja Turtles
I love this game! I know the fan favorite is the sequel, but I have a massive fondness for this one. I played it every time I would visit one of my friends but never owned it until my grandparents were able to to get me a Genesis that came with the 6 in 1 pack, if anyone remembers that. Grew up pretty poor but anytime they got me a game I treasured it, and Streets of Rage was my go-to! Thanks for your hard work UCBVG, and Super Metroid when 😏
I was so mad when I played the 2nd one, got talked up on how good Max was, and then went back to the 1st one and wondered why Adam Hunter wasn't in the 2nd one.
@@Lenoh Same! He was my favorite
Similarly I had 3 in one megadrive game that had Golden axe, streets of rage and revenge of shinobi on one cartridge. Fun times of being a mega drive owner, I have all these games on the mega drive collection on my PS5 :)
@@MartynJamieson9 I had the 3-in-1 cartridge too! That cartridge definitely spent more time plugged into the console than any other I owned 😅
I remember tearing through this game with my brother, only for him to try to betray me at the end, causing the bad ending. Whenever he wanted to play it normally, I betrayed him.
Every time.
Karma. XD
I might be in the minority but SoR1 is my favorite in the trilogy. Absolute masterpiece. On Round 8, notice how when you start the level and as you pass the first window, it is still night. The further you progress through the level and the closer you get the to the final crime boss, you'll see that daylight is starting to break, signifying Mr. X's hold of the city is coming to an end! The music on that last stage is brilliant; you can feel the desperation and tenseness of the enemy as he throws everything he's got at you, yet you can sense the finalization of the long, hard fought and selfless journey to dispel evil and free the people of terror is right behind that last door. I love it.
Streets of Rage (and especially Streets of Rage 2) had terrific music. I love it!
I remember getting this on the Wii Virtual Console and having a blast playing it. The music was awesome and i loved the nightlife tech noir feel of the city. Been a fan of the franchise since. Blaze and Axel were my favorites.
“Don’t forget to eat that roast in a stack of old tires!” 🤣
Streets of rage 2 will always be my favorite beat em up game of all time.
Thank you so much for giving this game a complete play through. Gotta respect the 1st game for setting the bar up for the sequel cause even by itself, the first SoR game is solid.
Yes! I remember playing this one with my cousin in elementary school. Thanks for uploading.
Those were the days!
Hope you are well, haven't heard from you.
My favorite part of your videos is the first five minutes giving history and background about the game.
Do you have any plans to post those segments as stand alone clips? I'd watch a whole Playlist of them
Thats a good suggestion, id probably watch a playlist of them as well, as they are really well researched and presented.
Game is hard!!
Does he Tiktok? Cuz posting the first few minutes as (a series of?) Tiktoks would be cool, as well as possibly drive traffic to this channel!
Besides that, I do know of a few creators that have separate YT channels for 'clip content', so maybe that'd be something worth pursuing? (I think people usually post them on a separate channel for algorithm purposes; YT seems to like for you to keep posting the same kind of content, & if you have long-form & short-form content on the same channel, it gets a li'l cranky. Freakin' emotional computer algorithms, amirite?!)
I remember my brother got a mega drive for his birthday when I was about 5 years old and I loved this, but my sister pulled it out of the wall like a week later to watch music videos on Saturday morning and broke it. Tbh i just want some sympathy for this loss 25 years ago.
My favorite beat em up series, you got to play streets of rage 2 after this one.
Another one I've beaten before. But, as usual, I expect to learn a lot I didn't know. Really appreciate all your videos and tips.
Half the games he covers ive beaten, like the Nes TMNT, but the other half I never beat are games I never payed attention to or knew existed.
Same, but he always brings some good info I didn't know and some strategies that I wish I knew back then.
Love this series! Started with 2 then went to 1 to 3. Happy that SoR 4 was made because it's an amazing game. I hope that there will be a 5th one. There's a fan made one that I enjoy a lot where it lets you pick your path and you can mix and match the levels from 1-3 it's an amazing and fun game. Can't wait for the next video🎉🎉
That pup grew up fast.
I don't know how I am just now finding out about this channel, but this is, hands down, the **BEST** retro entertainment TH-cam channel in existence. I watch this while I code, I have it playing while going to sleep; I can watch them over and over. It's not a let's play, it's not a narration, it's not a guide, it's not a historical perspective, it's not a documentary, it's all of those things all at the same time. My hats off to you, sir.
One of my favourite game series of all time. Done lots of playthroughs of SOR2 and Bomber Games remade version in particular.
I’ve probably put 1000 hours in that remake since it came out in 2011. Best fan game in history. Soooooo much incredible gameplay
Hell yeah brother! I see you beat the algorithm by releasing quality super mario content at the same time the movie was released. Genius. The subscriber jump was noticeable. Keep crushing it. Some of my earliest memories are watching you play video games. You could say I was your original fan. I got the live version of "U Can Beat Video Games" from you about 27 years ago.
Please elaborate. I just discovered this dude about a year ago on youtube, but you're saying he was around in the 90's?
@@KingofCrusher ...there was SMB movie released recently?? So his release of the SMW 2-part playthrough, at the same time there was a hecka lotta chatter about the SMB series/brand as a whole, likely contributed to a recent subscriber boost.
That said, I also came across this channel a while back (I think 2 years now? I'd have to check; it was well before the merch launch, I remember that) & I'm just wicked proud of how much his channel has grown *AND* that he's hasn't changed his format or personality as he's grown. It's kinda refreshing, tbh.
@@KingofCrusher
He's friends/family with the guy that talks.
@@ninjaguyYT Oh geez that makes perfect sense, haha. Rereading the original comment I'm like duh, of course this dude was friends with him as a kid. Thank you.
Beat the algorithm? Do you know what an algorithm is?
Oh my goodness I was freaking addicted to this game sometimes I would get new games and then I'll go back to this game
You gamer sage! Keep going! All your vids, are historical and gamer strategy. Your vids are fun to watch. Its relaxing after, working a 10 hour shift. Congrats!
My best ever beat em up. Glad to see you covering it!
Perfect Saturday morning wake up call! Thank you kind sir! 👍🐾🐕
My favorite TH-cam channel, just keeps bringing it!!!🎉
One of the first six video games I ever played.
You, sir, have earned a sub.
Nice! Expanding your repetoire to some Gensis games and one hell of a game to choose! The music in these games are top notch.
Man the effort you put into these is so appreciated!
I love this dude's channel SO much.
One of the best channels on TH-cam! Thank you!
I remember when this first came out. Loved this game and the soundtrack.
I love this channel and your tutorial videos. This is a very underrated channel and deserves way more subscribers. Watching and listening to you makes me want to boot up this game and smash it.
Best preambles I’ve ever heard. I love this channel!
Amazing guide, I've become obsessed with these games, been looking for something like this 👏
The classic! Thanks for the upload!
I think this is your best video yet. Great job.
Nice video! I've been craving a nice 16-bit beat 'em up lately, and this is one of the few I have legitimate access to, so this guide's come along at just the right time for me!
LOVE THIS GAME!! I can’t wait for you do SOR2 the best one!!!
I think many people consider SoR 2 to be an objectively-better game, but SoR 1 is still my favorite of the series. The soundtrack (especially that boss theme) is just too iconic to me. Also, SoR 1 has the best iteration of Blaze!
Another easy way to beat the Blaze clones (as Blaze) is to corral them both to one side of the screen. Once they are there, face Blaze in the opposite direction of them, and do your backwards-kick as soon as the jump-kicker is half-way through the apex of their kick, and/or when the grappler is in range. They will never be able to land a hit on you in this loop.
This channel is sooo great!
Ive been waiting for this video. I love this series so much ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm not so into beat-them-up games, but I enjoy your videos and all the extra informations to the games.
So happy you are covering Sega Content too!!!
Love your channel, man. Would love to see a Streets of Rage 2 vid!
I love the fact that you are doing this game. I know you are a busy man. But whenever you get a chance I would love to see you do Streets of Rage 2 and Streets of Rage 3. Also Final Fight 2 and Final Fight 3. Keep the videos coming bro. I literally sit and watch your videos in its entirety. You rock bro.
Love your videos! Keep it up!
You are to nice. Showing strats for all characters 👌
Loved this game! Especially Streets of Rage 2! Nice upload.
Episode 115, and still waiting for one of my favorite games of my childhood, a very rare obscure gem from RARE, Solar Jetman for the NES...
what a great video, thanks very much!
Your hidden item lore in all your videos is always the best
Well done as always..can't wait for the second..love the dogs full grown 2gether..
Thank you so much for this always enjoyable content!
an absoluter classic. The music is legendary. Can't wait till you do Streets of Rage 2! Blaze was my fave to use in this one, Skate in part 2, Zan in part 3.
Man, gotta love that Boss music 🦸♂
Great content puppy!
Love the doggos, love the channel, and love the SoR series. ❤
Great video! I used to be able to beat it as a kid, but since had trouble. Your tips helped greatly! I'm now working on beating the game on Hardest without a continue. Wish me luck! :D
OMG! I love this game soooooo much! I spent so many hours trying to beat it as a kid the big guys in the factory level kept killing me. I didnt beat it until 2012 when i watched a tips video and picked up gaming again on how to just punch slow to trap the enemies in a loop. By far the best side scrolling fight game ever!!!!
Another weekend, another great video.
My friends and I called the Abadede boss the Ultimate Warrior and Souther, Freddy Kruger 😂
Love the Mega Drive videos. Thanks a lot, can't wait until you get to SoR2.
This is a great episode. Those handsome video-editing and script-writing dogs deserve extra treats.
Alright, "Boats of Anger" made me laugh. I'll admit it.
Excellent! thanks to your techniques against the bosses, I was able to beat the game. thanks a lot.
Great vid!
Streets of rage series is def on the Mount Rushmore of the genesis/Megadrive.
Great video man!
Would love to see you do these videos on the wizardry games!
love your channel
Great choice for an episode!
This was one of my favorite Sega Genesis games when I was younger
I ,personally, am a Blaze main. This video makes me extra happy!
great job on the video . i hope yo do the whole series
Oh yeah! I always loved playing (and listening to) Streets Of Rage! Fan-freakin'-tastic game!
Great video as always ! After 30 years of playing Streets of Rage i thought i knew it through and through, but i never knew Blazes's grapple finisher did 0 damage. That's a disgrace !
Also, the glitch to skip the final boss is super weird. I always wonder how people end up finding those.
Thanks again and keep up the good work !
I was in the Final Fight camp as a kid, but the Etrian Odyssey series made me fall in love with Yuzo Koshiro's music, after checking out his earlier titles his work really makes them fantastic.
Street of Rages does what Final Fight don't.
@@MidoseitoAkage Final Fight is great
But Streets of Rage, oh boy! It's awesome
yay!!! Sega Games!!! cant wait for the Comix Zone walk thru :)
Excellent U Can Beat Video Games. Streets Of Rage was my favorite Sega Genesis Beat ‘Em Up game. You haven’t post a episode in an while hope everything is well with you. I look forward of waiting for an another episode of u can beat video games.
love these videos i hope you do contra 3 sometime!
Thank you !
"Genesis does...... Genesis does....... Genesis does what Nintendon't."
Man thats some serious dedication 👍
I still listen to this soundtrack today while I work.
It'd be cool if after being sent back to do the last three stages you make it to him again and he actually makes you his right hand man in a secret ending.
2014 i just played streets of rage 3 with my 6 yo cousin, she loved it, its cool watching her play the same games i played as a kid.
Love this series, waited 26 years for Streets of Rage 4! It was worth it through
Until they did the recent patch that takes away shivas infinite combo. I got to lvl 82 b4 that patch. Now shiva does this extra move that messes everything up. 🤦🤦🤦
So thorough. Thank you YCBVG!
I played this game so many times as a kiddo... but there was so many things in this Vid I never knew about... including the secret bad ending... which i'm SO glad is not the Canon one...
Oh my god, this means UCBVG is going to do Streets Of Rage 2. Get ready for an auditory treat on that one. The Stage 1 theme is one of the best _in video gaming history_ and there's a cheeky hidden 1-up right at the start because the devs knew how hard the game actually was ;)
God I love this even now all these years later.
I love how the police car drove over the water onto the boat o fire his mortar
I love these videos. I would love to see you do one for Alien Storm on Genesis.
Am I the only one who wake up early on Saturdays and checks this channel first thing.. with fingers crossed... hoping for a new game from UCBVG haha
My favourite is 3rd game (gameplay and graphic wise, not the soundtrack), but I have warm feelings for the 1st game as well.
It may be somewhat limiting, but overall gameplay and music make it stand out for me even now.
Thanks for all the tips you provided :) Love your channel 🥰
One of my favorite games and I also loved playing as Blaze, I remember her flip kick not doing any damage was bumming me out. I love beat em up games. I was a fan of them all. This begs the question if you can make a video for River City Ransom down the line?
"Don't forget to eat that roast that you'll find inside of a stack of old tires." My grandfather said the exact same thing to me. 😪
Awesome video!! Please do SOR2!
This is one of my favorite games.
Every bit of your advice in this video was good except for one.
You should NOT use your Special Attack if you can beat a round without it - you get an extra 10,000 points in the top bonus for each one you held onto, and since some extra lives are given at score increments, that advice may actually cost someone getting a much-needed extra life later.
There’s also an alternate infinite with the Round 5 twins - if you stay in a bottom corner, face away from them, hold the jump button, and whenever one of them jumps in to jump kick you, you hit attack and do a backwards kick, your attack will go through and theirs will be ignored. They never simultaneously do this attack - so the only way you die here is the timer.
