I'm thankful the delisted streets of rage remake held me over until SOR4 which has old man Zan who could represent grandpa. Nice to have someone great for multiplayer, or a ghost as a legacy if it's a time trial, though I think samurai shodown on ps4 had a type of AI based on your patterns. Level 7 and 8 are hilarious with glitches.
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 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.
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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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.
I never owned a Genesis as a kid but I have the fondest memories of playing beat 'em ups with my childhood friend Jeff! We beat Double Dragon 3 for the NES together but I also remember us beating the original Streets of Rage on his Genesis. I forgot just how great this game was. The graphics, music, and atmosphere was top-notch and despite being a Nintendo kid, SOR is WAY better than Final Fight IMO. It's no contest. :)
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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
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🎉🎉
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
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 might be in the minority but SoR1 is my favorite in the trilogy. Don't get me wrong, I love SoR2 (I still own the cartridges for the first and second game and play them fairly often) and Sor3 is a fine game as well, but i really think SoR1 is an absolute masterpiece. There's just little details that are amazing about it. For instance: in 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 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 as well. 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.
I half agree. I think SoR2 is the better game and (arguably) has the better sound track. However, there is something about the grittiness of SoR1 that just hits different and just makes it feel more badass. I love it.
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!
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.
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!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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...
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. 🤦🤦🤦
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!
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.
I remember playing the hell out of this with my friend back in the day, on his SegaCD that had the 4-in-1 pack-in, SoR1, Golden Axe 1, Revenge of Shinobi, and Columns, still 4 of the best games ever made IMO.
This game series is why i keep my old Sega Genesis around. I still got the rapid fire joysticks to play it on hardest. I still play two and three more than one. :)
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.
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 !
Thank you for covering the origins of a fantastic beat 'em up series! Also, can't wait for SOR 2! P.S. - What emu did you use for this footage? The audio sounds muted in the DAC or PSG channel. FM Sounds ok.
I don't remember what 2 buttons to push on the Sega Genesis version, press R on Nintendo 3DS, but you'll do sort of a roundhouse kick that comes in *Really* handy when enemies are behind you.
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.
Something U Can Beat Video Games forgot to mention about the Southers- don't try for air supremacy. They can dodge. a jumping kick and leave you wide open.
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 ;)
Great episode... I didn't know that there was a "hidden" stage/game clear "button?" trick in 2 players, hard to pull, yet at the same time silly and funny, I wonder what's the exact day release, is quite funny that in terms of year and month it was at the time when I was just born, no wonder why I loved Streets of Rage right from the get-go when I did years ago some investigation about the game. I recently have a cart of the game... along with other 5 in the same one (yeah... the same good old 6-Pak that you mentioned in the Revenge of Shinobi Episode which had axed out Rambo, Godzilla and Batman), funny enough, my favorite is the 3rd game due to how difficult was outside japan for the wrong reasons (not to mention that the NOT JPN version of Streets of Rage 3 has an extra bad ending by just playing the game on the "easiest" difficulty setting after beating stage 5 if my memory is not wrong).
To get the bad ending, if both players reach Mr X, one of them has to choose Yes while the other says No, then Mr X will make you two fight to the death and the winner must then choose No and defeat Mr X
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
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.
I'm thankful the delisted streets of rage remake held me over until SOR4 which has old man Zan who could represent grandpa. Nice to have someone great for multiplayer, or a ghost as a legacy if it's a time trial, though I think samurai shodown on ps4 had a type of AI based on your patterns.
Level 7 and 8 are hilarious with glitches.
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

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.
I've played this game dozens of times in my life, but even I learned a few things I didn't know about before.
I love how the police car drove over the water onto the boat o fire his mortar
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

For the Abadede/Ultimate Warrior clone boss I used to just to do static jump kicks as he will keep running at you constantly

Streets of rage series is def on the Mount Rushmore of the genesis/Megadrive.
Hate it whenever undercover cops steal my roadside chicken roast.

Great episode... I didn't know that there was a "hidden" stage/game clear "button?" trick in 2 players, hard to pull, yet at the same time silly and funny, I wonder what's the exact day release, is quite funny that in terms of year and month it was at the time when I was just born, no wonder why I loved Streets of Rage right from the get-go when I did years ago some investigation about the game.
I recently have a cart of the game... along with other 5 in the same one (yeah... the same good old 6-Pak that you mentioned in the Revenge of Shinobi Episode which had axed out Rambo, Godzilla and Batman), funny enough, my favorite is the 3rd game due to how difficult was outside japan for the wrong reasons (not to mention that the NOT JPN version of Streets of Rage 3 has an extra bad ending by just playing the game on the "easiest" difficulty setting after beating stage 5 if my memory is not wrong).
The music for this game was❤
Beat this game several times, mostly on two player with my brother. I don't believe I've ever seen the bad ending
To get the bad ending, if both players reach Mr X, one of them has to choose Yes while the other says No, then Mr X will make you two fight to the death and the winner must then choose No and defeat Mr X
God I love this even now all these years later.

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
